A/N I'm having a bit of writers block on We Found Love In A Hopeless. Place and I Will Possess Your Heart. I just can't get my words right for the story to be just how I want it. I hope you enjoy this new chapter for The Degrassi Pregnancy Pact.
Chapter 7
Maya's POV
I just freaked out, I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. It seemed like everything went wrong with Jenna's labor. She was in terrible pain, the baby was in an oxygen tent. I couldn't handle everything, so I ran. I ran out of the maternity ward, down three flights of steps and outside of the hospital. I collapsed on a bench outside the doors, my head in my hands, and the tears I had held in for so long finally sprung free from my eyes.
I ran my hands over my slightly swollen abdomen, I cried harder thinking of everything that could go wrong with my little one. I couldn't even handle hearing what Jenna had went through, how was I going to deal if it's me and my baby.
K.C. looked like he was disgusted and ready to run. He used to look at Jenna with love and admiration. The farther along she was in her pregnancy the more beat down he looked. He never smiled anymore. I started to wonder if he resented Jenna and the baby. I couldn't handle it if Owen felt that way towards me. Even tho we had made a so called pact, I would of been pregnant before the deal was made. That would make it a accident. Neither of us took any precautions to not get pregnant, so it was both of us who knew what could happen. I tried to rationalize everything in my mind. I couldn't deal with this right now, and my tears continued to roll off my cheek. There was two things that I was certain of, that I loved Owen and I loved pur baby.
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself before walking home. I needed to see Owen so he could insure me that things would be alright. Our parents had been funny about allowing us to spend any time together since they found out about the baby. We could only be with each other with an adult in the room or during school hours. I needed to talk with him just the two of us.
"Maya are you alright?" I heard Clare ask walking towards me from the parking lot. Eli was holding on to her waist to make sure she didn't slip in the snow. "I'm fine." I said mustering up a fake smile. "You don't look like you're fine." she said taking a seat next to me, and placing her hand on my back. Clare was so nurturing, and Eli was so supportive of everything she did I knew they'd be great parents. "Jenna, had some trouble and the baby isn't breathing like he should … it just scared me." I finally admitted. "I know it's scary, but you can't focus on everything that could go wrong or else you'll drive yourself crazy." she said in a soothing tone. "Maya, would you like a ride home? It's too cold for you to walk." Eli asked. "I really don't want to go home, I need to talk to Owen." I said letting out a breath of disappointment. "Still not allowed to be alone with him?" Clare asked and I just nodded.
She looked at Eli and they both smiled. They always seemed to know just what the other was thinking. Eli pulled out his phone, and walked a few feet away to make a call. Clare pulled out her phone and made a call. "Hello Mrs. Matlin. Could Maya keep me company for a few hours this evening? I have been having dizzy spells and both Eli and Jake have to work. I just don't want to be alone." Clare lied to my mother in the most convincing tone. "Great thank you Mrs. Matlin!" she said and hung up. "You're staying with me tonight. However, your mother insists we stop by the Dot and grab a healthy dinner before we head to my house." Clare smiled. "Owen, will be over around 7PM he has to help his parents put up the Christmas tree." Eli said with a smirk.
After Clare visted Jenna for a few minutes the three of us headed to the Dot since it was already 5:30PM. "Hey, girls. How's Jenna and the baby?" my mom asked. My eye's started to tear up, but Clare took that as a que and told mom about the dramatic birth. "That's too bad, I'll say an extra pray for them tonight. Now, follow me to the kitchen and I'll pack you girls up some dinner. I made chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes and green beans. You took grab containers and fix yourselves up some nice salads." my mom said fixing us to go boxes. Clare and I made up our salads while handed us a bag to put our food in. "I put extra in for your brother and Eli for after work. "My mom said smiling and we headed out.
"You're lucky to have a mother like that Maya! " Clare stated smelling the chicken and noodles in the bag. "I really am!" I replied thinking of my friends mothers. I really did have the most caring and supportive one.
After we ate we started a movie as I waited on Owen to show up. I was getting tired and clare was half asleep laying on the couch when the doorbell rang. I jumped up to answer. Owen, wrapped his arms around me and placed his lips against mine, I felt my heart flutter. "I missed you Maya." he said shutting the door behind him. My cheeks turned pink, and I bit my bottom lip concealing my smile. "I've missed you too."
"I'm going on up to bed. You two can take Jake's room, he's spending the week up at the cabin." Clare said yawning and heading up stairs.
We grabbed a couple DVD's and headed up to Jake's room. It was messy and smelled a bit musty, but the bed was made and took a seat while Owen started a movie. After the movie was in he joined me on the bed. "So, Eli said you were upset. That you needed to spend time with me?" he asked. I told him about Jenna and the baby. By the time I told him about 37 stitches he was pale. "Wow, I hope you don't have anything that traumatic."he said putting an arm around me. "You love me right?" I asked. "More than anything." he said. We laid in each other's arms, when suddenly I felt a jolt in my stomach. "Oh!" I said placing my hand on my stomach. "Is everything alright? " he asked jumping up as if I were hurt. I chuckled and grabbed his hand placing it on my belly. "Wow! There really is a little person in there!" he exclaimed. "I think she likes when we're together." I said smiling as Owen passionately encased my lips for a kiss.
