I know I shouldn't start a new story when I still have two on the go but I can't help it :)
Pregnant! How in the hell could I be pregnant?
Well that's just great, single mum with a cousin as my baby's dad. Oh and that said cousin is also hanging out twenty-four seven with his ex-girlfriend. Talk about a happy life for Lauren Branning eh?
I knew instantly what I was gonna do and I didn't care who knew.
I grabbed the pregnancy tests-all four of them, and headed over to the vic to where I knew Joey, Lucy and Whitney were. I couldn't even talk to anyone about my pregnancy; not even Whitney. She hates me for what I done with Tyler, and me and Poppy weren't exactly as close as what me and Whitney were.
Looking around the vic I spotted them. I walked over slowly, all of them were silent just watching my every move.
" What you doing here?" Lucy grimaced. I laughed at her tone of voice.
" This don't concern you so butt out." I bit back. I could be just as harsh as she was.
" What do you want, Lauren?." Whitney asked me, she wasn't exactly happy either.
" Actually I came to speak to Joey, not any of you" I said, looking from Lucy to Whitney.
" Whatever you have to say to me then you can say it in front of my friends" Joey piped up. I smirked, knowing he would regret those words.
" You'll regret you said that" I laughed. I pulled out the four tests from my pocket and slammed them onto the table." Congratulations, Joey. You're gonna be a dad" I shouted, hoping the whole pub could hear.
I saw Joey's face pale considerably followed by Lucy and Whitney's.
" You're lying. You obviously got knocked up by someone else and said it is his because he is moving on" Lucy scoweled.
" Look you jumped up, coniving, deluded little cow I said it before and I'm saying it again 'this has got fuck all to do with you' so fuck off and go wash the grease out your hair" I shouted. The whole pub definately heard that.
" Don't you tal-" Lucy tried to say but Joey cut her off.
" Look, Luce can you give me and Lauren some privacy. We will be done in five minutes anyway" Joey said, touching her hand. It made me sick.
" Sure, anything for you, Joey. Come on Whit" Lucy replied sweetly. Ughh I hate her.
" How far along are you?" Joey questioned, turning to face me.
" Well from my calculation I'd say about ten weeks. Remember?"
" Yeah, I remember. So what you gonna do?. Are you getting an abortion?"
I couldn't believe the words that just came out of his mouth. Was he serious right now?
" No! I'm keeping this baby, Joey weather you like it or not. I just thought you should know because there's something I want you to do"
" I was only asking Lauren. What is it you want me to do?" Joey enquired
" I want you to sign all paternity rights over to me. Which means you don't need to take responsibility and you won't have to see the baby when it's born."
" What! There's no way you are taking my baby from me. I'm the dad and it's gonna stay that way"
" You are not getting anywhere near my baby. Especially not whilst that bitch is still around."
" What is your problem with Lucy, Lauren?"
" She spiked my drink. It wouldn't surprise me if she tried to kill my baby too. Anything thats in her way of you will get hurt, no matter what the consequences. I'm not going to take that risk, Joey"
" Lucy wouldn't do anything-" Joey said but I cut him off.
" For god sake, Joey. Will you get your backside out of her arse and open your eyes." I ssaid, raising my voice a little. All of a sudden a wave of sickness came over me and I ran to the bathroom.
I ran to the bathroom, Joey following me aswell. I threw up in the toilet and Joey bent over and held my hair back.
I wiped my mouth and went over to the sink to wash my hands. I saw Joey staring intensely at me from the mirror.
" Thanks but I didn't need you to hold my hair. I can do things on my own." I whispered
" Look, Lauren. I'm gonna be part of our child's life. Don't make it harder on both of us"
" Fine. Then choose. Our baby or Lucy?"
Hope you liked it :) ... If you have any ideas then I am not opposed to them :)
