The Little Things

Chapter 1- Cravings of A Pregnant Women

Jessica's POV

I laughed as we drove from the doctors office. Amber was on the right track and gaining weight slowly. I was on the right track as well and I had to pee on a damn stick in instead of taking a blood test which my aunt did anyway. But I knew I was pregnant and the the blood test would only show how far along I truly was. Which I wanted to know. Amber was bouncing in her seat listening to some song that was playing on the radio. I was just happy to be out of the house and not in school. It felt good to be free. Oh how that feeling would change tomorrow. I laughed randomly.

"You hungry?" Amber asked suddenly. I looked to her with a raise eyebrow.

"Why are you?" I countered back darting my eyes back to the road. We were driving towards town as the snow hit my windshield. It was a nice snowy day and it was beautiful out.

"Duh. Dr Allen says that I shouldn't have any massive cravings but I want ice cream." Amber laughed softly.

I giggled lightly and shook my head. "I know the feeling. I want rocky road ice cream." Amber laughed and shook her head this time. I wondered why. "Why are you laughing?" I asked shooting her a 'what the fuck' look.

"You always want rocky road ice cream. At least thats what Ty said. He claims your addicted to that stuff." This time I laughed. It was true I was addicted to rocky road ice cream but the cravings would become worse.

"True but trust me. By the time I'm like five months along Caleb will have to go out at three in the morning to get me Rocky Road ice cream and Chinese food." I giggled remembering the when I had been pregnant with Bella. My biological mom had run out at four in the morning to get me what I wanted because I wouldn't eat anything else then that.

"Really. Do you think I'll want pickles and ice cream like my mother did when she was pregnant with me?" Amber asked and I laughed. My mom had ate the same thing when she was carrying me.

"You might if that runs in your family. I know I did but that little craving only lasted about a day or two. It tasted gross but damn did I want it." I chuckled softly as I pulled the car in front of the ice cream parlor/Café. I smiled and turned off the car. "Come on lets get some ice cream and decaf coffee."

"Decaf?" She raised an eyebrow at that word 'decaf'. I rolled my eyes as we got out of the car.

"Come on. You should know that pregnant women are supposed to avoid caffeine." I said locking the car as we headed to the door of the parlor. Amber groaned.

"I thought that was a lie." She moaned out. She drug her feet and I laughed.

"Nope. You get used to it after a while. Load a cappuccino up with foam or whipped cream and you won't know the difference. Trust me, I've already been down this road before and I'm on my second go." I put a hand on her shoulder once we were inside the warm shop.

"I know that." Amber said taking my arm in hers as we walked to counter. I ordered Rocky Road and and iced decaf latte. Amber got the same drink but her choice of ice cream was mint chocolate chip. I grinned as we sat with the ice cream and drinks. It was only around nine in the morning now and still early.

"So you going to tell Caleb?" Amber asked taking a bite of ice cream and then grinning. She looked happy to be sitting there with the cold food and cold drink even though the weather was freezing.

"Duh. I'm marrying the man Amber. I just don't know how to tell him." I sighed running my finger over the lip of my latte. I sighed again thinking of ways to tell Caleb. I could tell him tonight when he stayed over or I could wait until Saturday night at the Winter ball but that would be waiting to long.

"Just come out and tell him smart one. Your in college classes at Spencer yet you can't tell your fiancé

that your pregnant with his child." Amber huffed rolling her blueish green eyes. I could she the laughter at how absurd I sounded.

"I know Am I sound absurd. I mean I waited until I was four months along with Bella. Then I had to leave. It was a mess and now this.." I rolled my head into my hands and groaned.

"Just come out and say. 'Caleb I'm pregnant'. Thats all Jess." Amber was trying to help but I was nervous about telling the man I loved that I was carrying another one of his children. "Hold up. I thought that there could only be on kid born to the families." Amber pointed out.

I rose my hand. "I throw that rule out of the window by being female and the second child born. Bella blew the rule as well and look I'm throwing that rule out the window once more with the child in my belly. I hope its a boy though. That way Bella can have some one to pick on when she get older. I know even though I'm younger by like two days, I pick on Ty. Well not so much anymore." I laughed and took a spoon full on my ice cream.

"Well I want a boy. Girls tend to be sneaky. I know I was." Amber chuckled lightly. I smiled brightly.

"Thats why having a girl would be easy. We know all the things they will pull. Like a father with a son. The father has already pulled everything the son will do when they get older. Its the way of the world. I remember being a ball of fire when I was little with my real mother. When I came home and she found out I was pregnant she told me that she hoped the girl turned out to be just like me. I'm hoping that she was wrong." I took a drink. "If Bella turned out to be like me I will break down and cry so hard everyone will laugh."

"I won't laugh. If I have a girl I hope she doesn't do the crap I did when I was younger. I was a mean ass bitch until I lost my niece. I learned fast that life is not meant to be live how I was living it. I miss that girl every day." I say her begin to cry. I wondered if this was because of her hormones or if it was because she was just remembering her niece.

"Its alright Amber. She's better off where she is now. You know that." I laid my hand on her back and rubbed a few circles trying to comfort her. "Lets get out of here and head home or something. We could go to the lake if you want to. You can skate even if your pregnant." I suggested.

"The lake sounds good." Amber said wiping a tear off her cheek. We had finished the ice cream but had yet to finish the drinks. "So I heard the pregnant sex is better then regular sex." She said off-handedly. I laughed.

"I wouldn't know. All I do know though is that I was horny as hell after I stopped barfing every morning." I laughed as slide behind the wheel knowing that sooner rather then later I was going to have to get a safer car but I was never going to get rid of my BMW. I loved the thing so much.

"Well this should be fun." Amber giggled as I turned the car out of the parking lot. "Hold up. Why don't we go look at wedding dresses. I know I'm not getting married until the baby's born but I hear you haven't even started looking for a dress and your getting married on the twenty fifth which is ten days away. You have everything ready and planned for the medium sized wedding." She suggested and I smiled. I had been looking for dresses but never when anyone was around.

"That means we have to drive out of Ipswich. The dress shop I was at is an hour and a half drive from here." I pouted.

"Road trip." Amber shouted. I laughed and headed towards the outskirts of town and to the interstate. "So tell me more about these cravings you had when you were carrying Bella." Amber shrugged out of her coat and I did as well very carefully though because I was driving.

"Well when I first started craving food it was little things. I wanted to eat more Rocky Road ice cream. That last a few weeks. When I was four months along I wanted Chinese and Rocky Road as well but I tried to keep that under wraps because I was still here in Ipswich. When I was in Cali and with my mother she got me the Chinese and ice cream.

"When I was twenty four weeks along I began to crave the dreaded pickles and vanilla ice cream. My mom said that craving ran in the family. I refused to eat it until finally I gave in and ate some. Two weeks later I was craving pizza, eggs, and sausage. It was so funny. I couldn't believe I wanted sausage because I hated that stuff. I still do." I shuddered. "When I came close to having her I stopped craving random food and just ate what I always did.

"Oh but the other cravings were so funny. My mother knew when I was horny because I became very irritable. I snapped and snarled and everything like that. How long have you gone without jumping Tyler?" I asked. Sure it was odd that I was his sister but hey I tried not to see him as a brother when I was with Amber.

"I went away over the summer to visit family in Florida. I was gone the whole two months and I mean I became a bear. My mother didn't know why." Amber laughed.

"Well times that by like a million. It was so bad. And the dreams, God damn. I was a mess every time I woke up. I swore I could feel him and his hands moving over my skin but in my dreams I was thin and not pregnant. It felt so good and left me wanting more." I sighed.

"My mom laughed at me when I talked to her about it. I never got the satisfaction until I got home in October. And god was it good." I giggled as I spoke. I was always the one to giggle when I talked about my sex life. Not because I was embarrassed or anything like that, I was just the girly girl that liked to giggle because she was happy.

It was when we hit the interstate that I decided to speak again because Amber hadn't said anything yet. "Well...your mighty quite. Did I scare you out of wanting kids?" I asked casting a slight glance her way not wanting to take my eyes from the road for to long. I was a safe driver after seeing what the effects of an accident could do to people.

"No I was just thinking thats all." She said looking out the window at the passing cars and to the bare trees covered in a light dusting of snow from the storm over the night. It was beautiful actually to look at. She sighed and turned to me settling her hands over her four month pregnant belly. She was slightly showing since she was now sixteen weeks along and wearing a tight sweater as we sat in the car. I was only eight weeks along and no where near showing at all. Sure I felt the tightening in my waistband slightly but it was nothing that anyone could see.

"It's just I'm hoping that I can handle this. I mean your fit to be a mom but am I? Its just those kinds of things that are bothering me." Amber sighed running her hands over her stomach. I knew how she was feeling. It was only natural for a teenage girl who happened to be pregnant to feel this way. Hell it was natural for any first time mother to feel this way at any age. It was something that could not be fought because they had never had the experience of raising a child before.

"I had those same questions before Bella. You wouldn't know looking at me now that I thought I was going to royally screw up with her. But as soon as the nurses put that small crying girl into my arms my instincts kicked in. I realized that I could never screw up even if I tried because I had been raised right, be it by two different people, none then less, I would be a good mother. I am a good mother. Some times even now I still feel like I'm going to screw something up and ruin Bella's life. But it won't happen now that I had Caleb, you, Tyler, and everyone else here with me. Its a wonderful feeling to be a mom Amber. Don't ever think that you aren't cut out for it." I lectured again and glanced at the girl beside me.

It was hard to believe that we were both only seventeen going on eighteen in a few months. It was hard to believe that we were getting married to the men of our dreams, it was hard to believe that we were both pregnant and happy about it. Any normal sane teenage girl would be freaking out. But hell it just felt natural to the both of us I guessed. My biological mother had had me at eighteen so it was only natural for me to start a family early seeing that it ran in the family.

"I know you felt that way. I remember when my sister was pregnant with Chloe." She frowned at the name. I guessed it was the name of her niece that had died. "She was eighteen when she got pregnant with her. She freaked and almost had an abortion until my mother knocked some since into her stupid ass. She felt this way and was never afraid to tell me or my mom that. We tried to reassure her she was fine and would be fine. Finally when Chloe was born all those feelings left her. At first she was a little nervous but after that she was fine. I hope I'm like that." Amber sighed slightly and turned back to look out the window.

"You'll be fine. I know you will be. I was fine. Sure its hard at first and you might get a little snappy with people but it will pass and you'll learn and will be good at being a mother. You will be like me and Bella." I smiled. "Now lets talk about something else. All this talk of pregnancy is making me nervous." I laughed.

"But how?" Amber looked to me confused.

"Just because I had one kid doesn't mean I just forget about those 'what if' feelings and questions. Its only natural to feel this way. Lets talk about the dance this weekend." I suggested and Amber chuckled.

"I had to get the dress altered slightly so that it wouldn't be as tight on my stomach. I mean I could have still worn it but it would have been uncomfortable." Amber giggled sounding happy about the fact that she was getting slightly bigger as the weeks drew on.

"Well thats good that your getting it altered. But you might want to get it altered back to normal when you have the baby. You might want to wear the dress again sooner or later." I said knowing that Amber would wear the dress again sometime. My father liked to hold balls or parties for people he worked with and since Amber was marrying Tyler she would be expected to come and her dress would fit perfectly for some of the parties.

"I know that Jess. I'm not stupid. So what are you and Caleb doing after the dance?" She asked nudging my arms slightly. I laughed and felt the slight blush creep up my neck and into my cheeks.

"Well we're going back to his place since his mom is going to be out for the night. I know you and Tyler are headed back to my house and Pogue and Kate I think they're staying in the dorms of course and Reid he's going to be doing some random girl he picks up at the dance." I said off-handedly.

"Reid will be Reid. Pogue and Kate will always be Pogue and Kate." Amber laughed. "The dance should be fun though."

"It will be because we have our men on our arms." I said with a bright smile.

"You know the blond in class that sits with Sarah?" Amber asked and I raised an eyebrow taking my eyes off the road to look at her. I looked back towards the road and sighed.

"Yeah. What about her?" I asked with a tone so foreign to my ears. I had not gotten pissed in the last few weeks.

"She was talking about you in class. Saying you were pregnant and all that stuff. Kate yelled at her after you left the class room. You should have been there when she did. My God she scared the crap of the poor girl. I swore the blond almost pissed her pants and as for Sarah she was just plain pissed." Amber said with a giggle.

"Well Sarah can go shove it." I said nodding my head.

"Thats what Kate said." Amber was full out laughing now. I joined her. From that point on in the drive we were laughing at stupid things that Sarah had done since the night Caleb told her it was over and then she started telling me stories of how Kate would blow up when anyone talked about me when I had not been in Ipswich but still on the move over here. It was a fun drive and by the time we made it to the dress shop Amber had forgotten her fear of becoming a mother. I was happy to see her laughing.
