A/N: I don't own anything except people I put in.

Chapter 6

Jay's POV

Alex spun around as she heard my voice. Her look was a cross between terror and surprise, with a little beauty thrown in for good measure.

"Lex, what's going on?" I asked again, something telling me her open mouth wasn't gonna give me any answers.

Alex made a few raspy noises like she wanted to speak but she just looked dumbstruck. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. To us.

"Since when have you known about this?" I asked, trying to keep a level tone and a cool head, but its not everyday you get news like this.

She continued to look at me like a rabbit caught in headlights. "This morning..." She stated in a daze. Her olive skin was now milky.

"Oh..." If she had literally just found out then I couldn't be mad at her. Her shock and horror at the situation that was unfolding was understandable, and was basically as new to her as it was to me.

"Alex I think we need to talk." I concluded calmly.

"Jay, don't freak out, please." Alex choked under her breath as she almost stumbled towards me and grabbed onto the material of my hoodie. I grabbed her forearms and let her fall into my arms as she almost buckled under the pressure of the moment. I'd never seen her so defeated before.

"Alex do you see me freaking out? And I'm not going to, either." I tilted her chin upwards gently so our eyes met.

"Baby, we need to talk about this." I said again. My eyes drifted over slightly and I saw that Marcus had conveniently left us alone. If this wasn't planned, then I will eat my hat.

"Does it have to be here?" Alex asked looking paranoid.

"Come on Lex, with Mouth-on-Legs over there," I bowed my head toward Marcus, "I wouldn't be surprised if the whole group knew by the end of the night. And besides, they'll know soon enough, when you start getting a bump." I couldn't help my hands traveling down to her flat stomach, and imagining the fact that she is carrying my son or daughter inside there.

"Mmmm..." Alex murmured quietly.

"That is if you wanna keep him."

"Him?" Alex rebottled sharply.

"Or her. Whatever. But you've gotta tell me what you want to do. It's your body he'll be living in for nine months."

"I think I want to." It was clear to me that she was unsure of what she wanted to do. She is, like me, clueless on how to raise a baby. She has no experience raising a kid; neither do I. It's not like she had a little siblings that she could take care of. We are both the only kid our parents had.

"What do you think?" I was happy she asked for my input.

I wanted to have a conclusion in my mind already, but I was kind of undecided yet. The idea appealed to me, but at the same time it repulsed me.

"Alright. I think you are right, and plus we have a little while to think about what we wanna do."

"Do those douche bag's know yet?" I asked.

"No not yet. I only told Holly. She is the only one, besides Marcus and now you, that knows.

Alex's POV

He took it surprisingly well. It was a relief that Jay knew now, after what felt like a life time of putting it off and worrying about it. But that isn't the end of my problem, by far. It threw me that Jay was so calm and relaxed and up for this. I wasn't prepared for him to be asking questions like the matter of whether we would keep the baby. When he asked me I wasn't sure how to respond. I mean, yeah, I don't really like the thought of going through the process of telling everyone and getting thoughts in their heads then killing the innocent spawn, but at the same time I don't want to be a mom, and I don't want everything that goes with it. I suck at life. I drink, smoke, sleep around, make people hate me, and make peoples lives hell. I can't be someone's mother. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. When we walked back Jessie and Luke looked like they were about to explode with a hundred questions. All I could do was nod my head in response to this interrogation.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jessie asked. I looked up as I heard his voice and I got a little sick feeling inside as I soaked up the horrible awkwardness of this situation; sitting around a table with the father of my unborn child and my ex boyfriend.

"I don't know. I wasn't really ready to tell any of you. Well except Holly that is." I answered. These questions were making me panicky.

"So have you decided if you are going to keep the baby, yet?" Marcus asked. I looked over at Jay and he shrugged his shoulder.

"Um. No we haven't yet." I answered for us. Luke opened his mouth to ask another question, but Holly shut him up.

"Would you guys leave her alone, stop asking so many questions!" I sent a thankful smile in her direction, to let her know I was grateful for her help, even if I did have a funny way of showing it sometimes.

"Do you really think you can do this?" Jay asked with concern in his narrow blue eyes.

"Yeah..." I replied hesitantly, doubting even myself.

"I guess... so the baby wouldn't even be born til right near the end of the school year." I said as I noted the time of the year in relation to my seven or eight so months of pregnancy I had remaining.

"So we're keeping it?" Jay asked.

"Yeah I think we can do it. We can use all the money that I make for the baby." I said.

"I'll get another job. Babies cost a lot of money." Jay said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. All I could do was smile. I was so happy. Nothing could go wrong now...
