Tori's,
-Next Morning, 9:15 a.m-
I laid in my bed with my face dug into my pillow that was filled with my tears. I have been crying all night long, my eyes were probably as puffy as Trina's hair in the rain. Last night went exactly like I knew it would, if not worst. He's grandmom pointed out things I never even thought of, and I knew this baby has ruined any future Andre would have.
-Flashback, Last Night-
Andre's grandmother looked at me with wide eyes and then they squinted together and harden.
"How could you do that to my grandbaby?! You destroyed he's entire life!", She yelled in fiery written in her eyes.
"Grandma! She didn't ruin anything, I love her and my baby", Andre pleaded.
"You love music! You love writing! and singing! How can you do all that with this baby?!", She questioned.
I sat in silence as they argued back and forth. Tears rolled down my cheeks and met at my chin. I was dumb struck for words because everything she said was right. It was one thing to ruin my life, and push my dreams on the side but to do that to Andre was selfish. I was bought back into the conversation when she yelled my name and Andre softly shook me.
"And please tell me how will you support this baby! You're a baby yourself! You know nothing about loving anything but yourself! Your selfish! That's why your keeping this baby because you want to! I bet Andre wouldn't mind adoption!", She yelled piercing my ears.
I covered my mouth and let tears rush down my face as I stood. She was right, I was being selfish. I was thinking about myself and no one else. They continued to argue and I couldn't take it any longer so I dashed to the door, I ran out he's house and heard him calling my name. I ran for what seem like forever but probably only about 5 minutes. When I felt I was out of view from him, I pulled out my phone and called my mom sense she was the only one talking to me.
-Flashback Over-
I didn't want to speak to Andre, I didn't want to speak to anyone. I wanted to lay in my bed and drown in my tears but I couldn't, I had to get some missing homework for school. Pregnant or not I needed my education. I sat up on my bed and wiped my nose before standing and walking to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and was frightened on what looked back. My eyes were red and puffy, tear stains marked my cheeks, my nose had dry and new snot under it and my face was cherry red. I was focused on the ugly thing I call a face until whatever food I had in my tummy was starting to resurface and I was bent over in the toilet. I threw up everything and when I done, I flushed the toilet and leaned my back against my tub my knees pulled up to my chest.
I rolled up my sweater and was faced with my tummy. I let my hand rest on it as I leaned back and started to share conversations with my unborn monkey. I told him or her about what I wanted their room to look like, their name to be, about Aunt Trina and their grandparents, and their daddy, and the love they will get from me. I'll love my baby until the end of time even through all this. After some more moments of talking to him or her, I slipped off the floor and walked to the sink to wash my face and brush my teeth.
After I was done with my morning routine, I crawled back into bed after grabbing the homework assignments Trina bought home for me. I started to look at them but my mind wasn't focused on them. My phone kept going off and Andre's name continued to pop up. I clicked ignore all times, it was as he didn't understand. Why didn't he just walk out the door? I was leaving the door open for him! I don't want to do any harm to he's future because he wants to stay back and be daddy of the year.
Their was a knock on my wooden black door that bought me back into reality. I didn't respond to the knock but they walked in anyways and Trina stood there with two drinks and a Chick-Fli-A bag. A big smile spread across my face and she walked in all the way and shut the door with her foot. I pushed my homework on the side and she slowly made her way to me and sat down after handing me a drink and setting the food on the other side of her.
"I heard you crying all night, and I just felt you needed me as much as I wanted to be there", She said with an hopeful smile.
"Yes, I need you so bad, God Trina everything is just so much", I started just as the waterworks were about to start.
"Then I'm here baby sister", She said rubbing my hand that wasn't holding my drink.
I smiled and fought back happy and sad tears. I pulled her into a tight hug careful not to spill our drinks. I love my sister, more then anything.
Cat's,
-9:35 a.m-
I woke up with Robbie fast asleep on my chest. I giggled and played in his curls trying not to wake him. I was so excited,last night went perfect. I don't even know why I doubted it, everyone is happy to see me get all big and to see the cute little monkey Robbie and I produced. I had a big smile on my face as I looked up at Robbie's plain white ceiling and thought of last night.
-Flashback, Last night-
Robbie and I walked into the fancy dancy restaurant hand and hand and just when the host lady was about to say something to us we heard Robbie's dad say he's name and we glanced over and they waved us over. I gripped Robbie's hand tighter when I saw wornness and fear flash in he's brown eyes. I wanted him to know, the baby and I will always be here. He gave me an weary smile and I nodded at him with a bright smile. Robbie walked over to the booth he's parents sat at and I trailed behind him.
Robbie let me scoot in first and I was across from he's mother who was very pretty. I said "Hi" in my usual cheery voice to them both after Robbie sat down. I grabbed the menu in a rush, I was hungry. Eating for two is going to turn me into a pig. After we placed our drinks and orders in the table went silent and I watched Robbie who played with he's fingers on the table.
He explained to me when we first started going out is that him and he's parents don't really talk because they are barely home. They travel a lot for their jobs and that leaves him alone with the maid. That's what him get Rex, he's loneliness but he's not alone anymore because Cat and the baby monkey are here! That could be a real superhero and sidekick name… I like it.
"So Robbie, you must have wanted to tell us something sense you rushed this meeting with Cat", He's father started.
"Who we of course just adore seeing", He's mother climbed in and flashed me a bright smile. I smiled back and giggled.
"Yea dad… we um… hav-have t-tt-to", Robbie started to trip over he's on words. I squeezed he's hand giving him a signal that I'll talk.
"I'm pregnant… by Robbie", I said not knowing if I needed to say it was Robbie but they may have thought different.
They stared at me, then Robbie, and then back at me. I started to nibble on my bottom lip feeling a nervous feeling wash over me like a wave. Robbie was the one who squeezed my hand this time.
"Mom? Dad? Anything? Any words?", He asked with uneasiness in his voice.
"Wow Rob… I don't know what to say. Your keeping the baby right?", He's dad asked.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare hurt my little monkey", I said placing a protective hand over my belly.
"Good sweetie. We are here to support all of you in any way possible", He's mom said taking me by surprise but soon happiness overcame that feeling.
"Thank you! Thank you!", I cheered forgetting where we were.
He's mom giggled and warned me to calm down before I hurt the baby.
"Any gender you really want?", He's dad asked.
"Nope, just healthy", Robbie said beating me to the question.
"I want a girl, a pretty girl", I said smiling at the thought.
"And her room could be a pretty pink and yellow just like your dress", He's mom said with a growing smile.
"Yes, that's so pretty", I said before clapping and bouncing one last time.
-Flashback Over-
"Cat what are you smiling at?", Robbie asked scaring me.
"I didn't know you were awake, but I was just thinking about last night", I said with my smile returning.
"I know, it was almost to perfect", He said rolling off of my chest and laying next to me.
"Nothing is to perfect, if you have a perfect way of viewing".
"I know your perfect", He said pulling me close to him.
I nuzzled into he's neck as he wrapped he's arm around my waist, I wrapped mines around he's stomach and enjoyed this feeling. Of perfection.
Jade's,
-Afternoon, 12 p.m-
It's almost as I had to drag Beck to he's parents. We stood in the kitchen drinking some lemonade he's mother made and waiting for he's dad to return from the store. I sat on the stool next to him and he had he's eyes on the countertop not touching he's lemonade while my mines was half gone. I know telling your parents that your 17 year old girlfriend is pregnant isn't the easy thing but again Beck is suppose to my comfort level and if he's half way about to lose it what am I suppose to do?
"So what do we owe this visit from you and the lovely Jade?", He's mom asked.
I looked at Beck wondering did he want to tell her first or tell them together. He looked at me and I shot him a look of say something. He leaned forward and covered he's face with he's hands and mumbled it into he's hands and even I couldn't make it out so I know he's mom couldn't' nether.
"What?", She asked as she pried he's hands of he's face but before Beck could respond the door opened and he's dad's voice boomed through the house.
"In here!", She yelled out.
He walked in carrying 4 bags, Beck's mom rushed to him and gave him a kiss and took two bags from him and sat them on a counter before she started to unload them. I wanted that future with Beck, him coming back from work and I welcome him with a kiss, dinner is ready. I actually want to be a stay at home mom. No one would know that besides Beck, I trust Beck with my heart and soul.
"Beck was just about to tell me why he's here honey, so continue honey", He's mom persuaded him as she walked to the fridge.
"Ja…Jade is uh… she's… well she is ...", He continued to try and find the right words but he was taking to long so I helped him.
"Pregnant, I'm pregnant".
Their eyes widen and he's dad stopped unloading groceries and stared at Beck. I couldn't' read anger, disappointment, or sadness. The stare was just blank. I looked over at he's mom who was leaning against the counter tapping her nails on the surface. He's dad ran he's fingers threw he's hair and it remained silent before Beck broke it.
"We're keeping the baby".
"We understand that and Beck we are not about to stand here and jump for joy saying we're happy our son is about to become a dad but we'll say we're proud that your standing by her side", He's mom said flashing him a small smile.
Beck grabbed my hand and gave me a smile before nodding at he's parents.
"And we'll help, we'll be there for you two… well three", He's dad said patting Beck's shoulder and giving me a smile which I returned.
"Any jobs?", He's father asked.
"I started looking for some yesterday, and I circled one at a garage. I really want to work two but school", Beck answered.
"If you think you can do it then do it sweetie but as your dad said we're here", She said coming up to Beck and kissing the top of he's head and then kissing mines making me smile.
