Chapter 6: Discoveries and Special Moments
Miley's POV
Being pregnant isn't as easy as you may think. Well, you probably don't think it's easy anyway, do you? Well if you do, let me tell you the truth- it's not. Two words prove my point- morning sickness. The worst part is that nobody else knows about it, so I can't let Mrs. Truscott, Jackson, or Lilly's siblings hear me. Luckily, it has been happening around 3 am, so everyone else tends to be asleep, except for once when Lilly's older brother, Logan, caught me, but I think he was drunk or something because he went back to bed and never mentioned it nor made things awkward.
At six thirty, my alarm went off, waking me up, and forcing me to get out of bed. I walked to my closet and picked out my outfit for the day – a pink babydoll top and dark denim shorts that went down to right above my knees, complete with matching flats. I went and brushed my teeth before taking a shower and getting dressed. Then, I applied my makeup and brushed my hair before heading downstairs.
I sat down next to Lilly, who was sitting in the farthest seat from Jackson, and got myself a bowl of cereal. Lilly and Jackson were both unusually quiet.
"Hey, did you guys plan your outfits with each other?" I asked, giggling after noticing that they were both wearing green shirts and denim shorts as well as green converse. Of course, Lilly's outfit was slightly more girly, but still it was strange. They looked up from their food, for probably the first time and took in each other's appearance before looking into each other's eyes, blushing, and diverting their attention back to their meals, muttering a "no".
"What's going on with you two? You've been acting strange."
Though, neither of them got a chance to answer as Logan came down the stairs wearing pajama pants and no shirt, having just gotten in last night for spring break from college at UCLA. "Hey everyone." He said, walking to the kitchen and grabbing a granola bar. "What's with the silence? Two teenage girls and a teenage guy and its sickeningly quiet. I might have to go to the library to get a little noise."
I laughed, while Lilly and Jackson remained quiet. "I don't know what's up with them. They've been acting strange since yesterday morning, and neither will tell me why."
"They probably saw each other naked." He stated, randomly.
They both blushed a bright crimson red, as I laughed. "Good one."
"Yeah, funny. I'm heading to school, anyone need a ride?" Jackson stated getting up, and abruptly changing the subject.
"No, I'm going to skateboard." Lilly replied, still not looking up.
"You'll be late, Lilly, we only have ten minutes and its 5 minutes by car." I told her.
"Fine."
"Okay, meet me in the car; I'm leaving in five minutes if you're not there." Jackson replied, leaving.
I ran upstairs to get my bag and books and came down to find Lilly still not here, but her brother was.
"Hey Miley. Sorry about your dad, and sorry for bringing it up, but I wanted to make sure that you know I'm here if you need me."
"Thanks Logan. I'm slowly moving past it."
"That's good. Some party the other night, huh?" My eyes got really big. He knew about the party that I went to! Where I got pregnant! Oh my god! What if he's the guy I slept with? How awkward would that make things?!
"Um what party?"
"Don't play dumb Miley. I saw you there. I was just making conversation. I got pretty drunk, how about you?" He asked, knowingly.
"Um, yeah."
"Yeah, crazy party. I think I may have slept with a girl. Though, I'm not sure. That seems a bit bad, don't you think?" Oh My God! He is the guy!
"Uh, it does. You're right. I mean, what if she got pregnant or something, and doesn't know who the father is, so she can't even tell the guy and you end up being the guy and you don't know you're a dad, so you can't support her. Would you even support her, or would you go off a not care? That wouldn't be very nice."
"Whoa, slow down there killer. I said I didn't know if I did. I was hoping you'd admit you did, and looks like I was right." Huh?
"Huh?"
"I heard you throwing up one morning, and I went to go comfort you, but you looked like you wanted to keep it private because you ran away once you saw me. Then I remembered that you had been at that party and I put two and two together. So, you're pregnant, huh?"
"Um, yeah."
"And you don't know who the father is?"
"No! And that's what's killing me."
"Yeah, I figured that out by your rant."
"Oh, sorry about that, but do you really not remember sleeping with a girl?"
"Don't worry, Miley. I doubt I'm the guy. I wasn't lying- I don't remember if I did or not, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't with you."
"Okay." I replied, satisfied for now. "Thanks."
"No problem, and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to talk." I hugged him, just as Lilly came down the stairs, this time with a blue shirt and flip-flops. I guess she wasn't too happy about matching her outfit with my brother.
"What's going on?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's go. Jackson probably left without us."
We went outside, and were surprised to see Jackson still in his car, waiting. We ran out to him and got in, me in the front and Lilly in the back, because I figured that things were too awkward between them, and Jackson took off for school. We made it just in time to go to our lockers and first class before the bell rang.
In the middle of first period I was feeling really sick, so I asked to go to the nurse. Mrs. Kunkle is so strict, and she wouldn't let me go, so guess what? I threw up all over her classroom floor. Okay, not all over, but enough to have her make Oliver take me to the nurse.
When we got to the nurse's office, she asked me if I ate breakfast, which I told her I had cereal with milk that wasn't bad because my brother and Lilly had it too. She took my temperature and other stuff, and came to the conclusion that I didn't have a stomach virus. Duh, I was pregnant, and the morning sickness was a bit later than usual.
"Are you pregnant?" Wow, that was randomly accurate. If it weren't the truth I'd be looking at her like she had three heads. I looked to Oliver, who nodded for me to tell her the truth, so I did, mumbling.
"It's alright, sweetie. We'll send you home for the day." She said, before going over to the phone. "Would you like to call your guardian or should I?" My eyes god huge, as big as a fish, as I realized that she was going to tell Mrs. Truscott, and in turn, she'd tell Aunt Dolly, who would tell all my relatives in Tennessee and nobody would ever treat me the same!
"Does she need to know?"
"You haven't told her you're pregnant?"
"Um, no."
"Oh dear, sweetie, she needs to find out sometime. I'll tell her to come down here and you can tell her in person, okay?"
I sighed, "Alright, I guess."
We waited for about fifteen minutes, Oliver by my side, for Mrs. Truscott to come. When she finally arrived, I hopped down from the bed I was sitting on and ran over to hug her. "Please don't be mad." I begged.
"Don't be mad about what?" She questioned.
"This…." I paused, not sure if I should just blurt it out or not, but Oliver nudged me to continue, so I did. "Um, Mrs. Truscott, I don't know how to say this, but um, I'm uh um uh p-p-pregnant." I stuttered, looking away and burying my face into Oliver's chest.
The next thing I knew, she was hugging me. Huh? Hugging me? Shouldn't she be yelling at me? Like my dad was…?
"You're not mad?" I asked between sniffles.
"No, I'm not mad, just disappointed."
"Well, that reaction might change when I tell you that I don't know who the father is."
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah, I um was uh under the influence of spiked punch."
"Miley! You should know better than that! Only bottled water at parties like this. You shouldn't even be going to these types of parties!"
"I know! And I'm so so so so sorry! I didn't mean to!"
"We'll talk about this at home, young lady. Come on. Good-bye, Oliver."
I waved to Oliver, and he waved back as Lilly's mom took me outside.
She started dialing numbers into her cell phone, and I knew she was calling Aunt Dolly. I sobbed silently as we got in her car and drove back to the house, where I was shooed off to my room.
Around three, Lilly and Jackson came home, but I heard Mrs. Truscott convince them to go to the beach and have dinner there. Hours after that, Aunt Dolly and Mamaw showed up at the house. I heard muffled speaking downstairs and soon enough I was called down.
Jackson's POV
Mrs. Truscott didn't let Lilly and I in the house after school, and I can't figure out why, but what I do know is that we were being forced to the beach and I was walking next to the girl who I have been very awkward around lately.
"So, Lilly, do you know what that was all about?"
"Oliver said something about Miley going home early from the nurse. It probably has something to do with that." I could tell she knew more, but didn't want to say and I didn't want to pressure her because things were already awkward enough between us. I was kind of hoping that I could use this opportunity to convince her to not keep things so weird if we didn't want Miley to figure out what had happened yesterday morning. It was bad enough that her brother sarcastically guessed correctly. Hey, maybe that's how I can bring it up!
"So, you're brother was pretty accurate today, huh?" She blushed, but that quickly went away when she probably realized that I would be just as embarrassed.
"Yeah, that was pretty funny. Good job changing the subject."
"Haha, yeah thanks. … Listen, Lilly?"
"Yeah," she replied, as we reached the beach, standing in front of a log.
"I've been thinking and I know that this really like awkward for you, and it is for me too, but I think that if we want to keep this between you and me, we're going to have to pretend like nothing happened, at least when we're around Miley."
"I agree. It was way too close of a call today." She replied. I held out my arms to hug her and she responded by doing the same. Of course, neither of us saw the log that had been on the floor this whole time and we tripped.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, we landed in the most awkward position possible- attached at the mouth. And of course, after just having seen each other naked, we couldn't leave things at that. Oh no, we had to apply just a little more force, making it an official kiss. But hey, accidents happen, right?
We pulled apart as soon as we realized what we were doing.
"Well," I started, breaking the five minute silence that was shared as we stared wide-eyed at each other. "So much for not keeping things awkward, huh?"
"Heh, yeah. Maybe we should just go eat dinner so that we can head home."
"Yeah, okay. Rico's?"
"Sure."
And just like that, I was left unable to stop thinking about Lilly, yet again.
Miley's POV
The three women were sitting on the couch, opposite a large chair where they ushered me to sit.
"Miley, baby, is it true?" Aunt Dolly asked me. I couldn't look her in the eyes as I nodded, tears rolling down my face.
"Is what true?" I heard as the front door slammed shut and Jackson and Lilly walked in. Apparently Mamaw hadn't heard, or just didn't care because she started yelling.
"Are you out of your stupid teenage mind!? What could have possibly made you drink?! And even under the influence, it takes a person really incapable of figuring out her life path to make a mistake as huge and bad as this one, Miley! I am so disappointed in you. We all thought that we raised you to be better than this- to not become the next Britney Spears! (AN: No offense to her) What have you gotten yourself into?! Pregnant at 16!?" Mamaw countered, and I could see where my dad had gotten his reaction from. This brought a whole new reason for me to cry and soon enough I was bawling.
"WHAT!? Miley's pregnant?! You slut! How could you let that happen Miley!? What are people going to think? What about Hannah? What about me- brother of the slut! How could you do that to all of us!" Jackson raged, causing me to cry harder, if that was possible. They waited for me to calm down and I spoke,
"That's just how daddy reacted. I was so mad at him, and it was right before he passed away too, so I don't even know if he forgave me before he really died! I know I made a mistake! I'm so mad at myself for it! But now I have to live with the consequences. I have a living, breathing human being inside of me and I can't and won't kill it, so you're going to have to accept this for me because I can't go through this alone. I've already lost so much and I can't lose this child too. I'll figure out who the dad is, I promise. Just please, please, try to forgive me. I barely forgive myself, so I can't blame you if you don't. It would just mean so much to me to know that the three women in my life support me, even if my real mom can't be here to do the same." I looked at them for the first time, and saw that they all had tears in their eyes, matching mine, which meant that they really did care, and they just wanted the best for me.
They came over all together and enveloped me in a giant group hug that felt like it would never end, but I didn't care because I didn't want it to, even though Jackson didn't join in.
AN: That was a pretty fast update, huh? Bet you're all super surprised about that. I know I am. I actually had it written but didn't want to get your hopes up that I'd be updating fast all the time. lol. Expect the next update over December break, and maybe you'll even get 2 if my teachers are kind in the homework distributing. I think it was a pretty long chapter too. I was going to break it up but decided against it. Hope you enjoyed! Review and thanks to those who do! And thanks so much to SVUlover for her help and ideas. If you don't know what to say in your review, praise her. And offer ideas. I'll stop rambling on this AN. XD You don't know how happy reviews will make me (I was up til 3 am last night so I need to be happy!)
