An Unexpected Miracle
Chapter 6
Jo POV
It had been five months since the incident with Jennifer. Some things had been good, others had been bad. One thing was that less and less people were talking about it, that was a huge relief, at least now me and Kendall could walk around the Palmwoods without being stared at. Another thing was telling Mrs. Knight. We decided to tell her right after the Jennifer incident. That wasn't the easiest thing to do.
Flashback
"Ok, now, everything is gonna turn out fine, my mom is pretty understanding."
I nodded as we entered the apartment.
"Mom?" Kendall asked.
"In here honey!" Mrs. Knight called from the kitchen.
"Mom, can me and Jo talk to you?" Kendall asked.
"Sure." Mrs. Knight said, sitting down at the dinner table. We sat down and Kendall started to talk, but I stopped him.
"Mrs. Knight, I'm pregnant." I said.
"Your pregnant?" She asked.
"Yes she is." Kendall answered for me.
"When?" She asked us.
"Last Wednesday." I said.
She just sat there, probably thinking of why to say next.
"Why didn't you use protection? I thought you guys were smarter than-"
"We did!" Kendall said, "It must of broken." Kendall said, putting his head down.
Mrs. Knight froze.
"I'm sorry I went of the handle like that, I should have listened to the whole story." Mrs. Knight said.
"It's ok, it's not an easy thing to hear." I said.
Flashback over
That was the only thing that was easy to deal with. Not much else was. Except for James, Kendall, Carlos, Logan, Camille, Stephenie, and Rachael, all my other friends had stopped talking to me. I guess they just didn't want to get involved with me and my problems. That was easy to get over, as long as I knew my true friends would always be there for me.
But not everything turned out as well.
For one thing, I was kicked off the basketball team. They said it was because they needed room for new players, but I knew the real reason. I could deal with that, I was probably going to quit anyway, but what happened next was the worst of all.
When I still lived in North Carolina, my parents had gotten divorced when I was ten. I was always extremely close to my dad, he moved to Harnett, the next town over and I lived with my mom in Cumberland. Every other weekend my mom would make the 30 minute drive to his house, I would spend the weekend there, and then he would drive me home. But since I've moved to LA, since I can't see him as often I call him every night and we talk for like three hours, so you can understand how excited I was when he said he would visit me.
I didn't want to tell him I was pregnant, but it was kind of hard to hide, me being five months along, when I stood up it looked like I was hiding a half a watermelon under my shirt. There was no way to hide it even if I tried. I wasn't surprised when he didn't take it well. It wasn't the fact that he was extremely disappointed, that was to be expected, but what really hurt me was when he said that he never wanted to see me again right before he left.
Once he left I immediately ran up to apartment 2J and pounded on the door until Kendall opened it, he knew my dad was visiting, so when he saw me there, my eyes filled with tears, he didn't even say a word before taking me into the apartment and sitting me down on the couch. Logan and Camille were there, the three of them must of been watching a movie. Before I knew it, Kendall was pushed to the ground and Camille had her arms around me. In the meanwhile, Logan had helped Kendall up and sat next to me, taking my hand while Kendall was on his knees in front of me.
"He didn't take it well did he?" Camille asked.
"No, he didn't." I said.
"Jo," Kendall said, "I know how much your dad means to you, I'm so sorry."
"Thanks, but I can't worry about it now, I need to focus on the baby." I said.
It was true, I really didn't need any more stress right now.
"You're right." Kendall agreed, "Tomorrow we're going to find out the sex of the baby, let's just focus on that."
"You're right." I said.
The next day
James, Rachael, Logan, Camille, Carlos, and Stephenie had insisted on coming with us to the doctor's office. They didn't care that they had to wait in the waiting room, because there was no possibility that they could fit me, Kendall, the nurse, and the six of them into the small room, so just me and Kendall went in.
I had had a few ultrasounds before this, so I knew what to expect when the feeling of the cold jelly hit my skin. The took what looked like a remote and put it to my stomach, we could hear the heartbeat, Kendall took my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. I looked up at him and smiled, he smiled back. The nurse moved the remote around showing us a full view of our baby. But, suddenly, she stopped at a spot right under my belly button and looked closely at the screen.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I must have not seen this on the last ultrasound." She responded.
"Must not have seen what?" I asked.
She pointed to the screen and said, "This."
"What is that?" Kendall took the words right out of my mouth.
"Twins." She said.
