Hey all here's chapter 8. As always enjoy :)


Max's Pov- Besides the situation with my parents the rest of the holiday break was amazing. It felt so nice to wake up every morning to the feel of being in Chloe's arms...Until i had to throw up. Joyce was being so supportive of us. She gave me and Chloe some pretty good tips and even though David wasn't thrilled with it he at least tried to be there for us as well. But Chloe. My dog Chloe almost has become a new person over break. After coming back one day after shopping with Joyce i thought we were in the twilight zone. Chloe's room was spotless. Not a single thing was lying around. Joyce was speechless. She also started taking things a bit more seriously. And was cussing a bit less. Of course she still had moments where she was her usual punk self. Which i didn't mind one bit.

It was now the first day after break and Chloe's first day working at the diner. I'm going to miss some of our free time but this is what we signed up for. I was currently in my room getting dressed and i paused to take a look at the mirror. It was faint but i could see the little bump starting to show. I say in about a month people will start noticing and that is what's terrifying me. I jumped a bit when i heard a knock on my door. "Max it's Kate!"

"Hold on!" I finished getting dressed and opened the door. "Hey Kate how was break?'

She smiled and said. "It was good. How was yours?" She leaned closer and whispered. "Did you tell your parents."

My smile disappeared and nodded. "Yeah...they pretty much threw me out." I said sadly.

Kate pulled me into a hug and i returned it. "Max that's awful. I'm so sorry. I'm here if you if you ever need anything ok?"

My smile came back. Kate is the sweetest person ever. "Thank's Kate. And i'm ok. Chloe's been taking really good care of me."

We broke the hug and she replied. "I'm happy that you have her. She's really good for you Max."

"Sometime's i feel like i don't deserve her." I whispered.

"That's nonsense Max. You both deserve each other and the fact that she's been so supportive of your situation just show's how much she love's you."

I sighed happily. "I know. Your right. Let's go before we're late for class."

Kate smiled and we walked out of the dorm together.


After classes me, Kate, Dana, and Juliet decided to have dinner together. So we went to the two whales. Because of there good food and seeing Chloe. We sat down at a booth and a familiar blue head approached us. "Well hello ladies decided to. 'Eat out' huh?" Chloe teased.

We all laughed not because of her bad joke but because she was wearing a uniform. "Wow Chloe looking good." Dana teased.

"Sorry i just never pictured you wearing something like that." Juliet commented trying to control her laughter.

Chloe crossed her arms in mock annoyance. "Keep that up and i'll serve you all raw food."

"I think you look lovely Chloe."

Chloe smiled. "Yes thank you Kate! Just for that desert is on me!"

I pouted. "What about me?"

She smirked at me and said. "Max you'll have your desert later."

My face went completely red as she winked at me. "Chloe don't embarrass me!"

Chloe snickered. "Babe your food craving's are embarrassing enough. I think the baby would like more than apples and ketchup."

"...Baby?" Juliet asked. I completely froze and Chloe looked mortified. I guess casually talking about the baby during the holiday break made her forget it was suppose to be a secret for a bit longer.

Dana answered. "Max meant uhh her cousin yeah her cousin is."

I sighed. It was just Juliet i guess i could trust her. "Dana it's ok. Juliet. I'm pregnant."

It was quiet at or booth and Juliet looked at me with complete shock. "Ohh...Damn umm thats a big shocker i mean i never thought you of all people would be...Sorry."

I shook my head. "Its fine. It was a shock to me as well. Promise you won't tell anyone."

Juliet nodded. "I promise. And if you need anything just ask."

I smiled. "Thank's Juliet." Then i glared at Chloe.

"Sorry Max i forgot ok? I'll make up to you i promise." She pleaded.

"You better Price." I warned.

Kate giggled. "Your in trouble Chloe."

Chloe shrugged. "I'm always in trouble. Anyway what will you fine ladies be having? And before you answer no i'm not on the menu. I'm on Max's v.i.p. menu only."

I groaned as Chloe laughed.

"I hate you." I mumbled.

She smiled. "Love you to babe."


After dinner we headed back to the sun was just beginning to set. When we got to the small courtyard we saw Warren sitting on a bench. My three friends gave me an amused look and i rolled my eyes. "You guys go on ahead i'll catch up with you."

"Let him down gently killer." Dana teased.

I shooed them away and they laughed all the way to the dorm entrance. I sighed and walked over to Warren. I liked Warren he was a good friend but he really needs to take a hint. "Hey Warren what are you doing?" I asked.

He looked up smiled and stood up. "Nothing i was just uhhh wondering if your not busy tomorrow night that we could you know see a movie and later on dinner?"

I will admit i'm a bit surprised. This was the first time he pretty much directly asked me on a date. Maybe now when i say no he'll finally understand i'm not interested in him in that way. "Warren I'm flattered but you know perfectly well that i'm dating Chloe."

Instead of looking sad or disappointed he kept that smile. "I know. But I won't give up Max. That's my new years resolution. Winning your heart."

I felt like screaming out of frustration. That was so cheesy and i don't need a love sick Warren spending the rest of the school year trying to win me over. Well he will probably lose interest once he see's that i'm pregnant. "Warren please just move on ok? I love Chloe and i really don't need this right now."

I could see he was starting to get frustrated. "Chloe Chloe Chloe it's always Chloe. What does she have that i don't? She's just a dropout punk"

I glared at him. "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. And you have no idea the connection we have. I love her Warren and nothing is going to change that so please. Don't do this ever again."

I stormed away before he could say anything else. I seriously hope he got the message this time because if he keeps pulling shit like this especially if Chloe was around there are going to be a few fists being swung.

I entered the dorm and went straight to my room and sighed. "I need a nice long shower." My phone vibrated and i looked to see a text message from Chloe.

Chloe-Hey Max i'll be done with my shift soon want me to swing by? I hella miss you.

I smiled. I could never say no to a Chloe visit.

Max- Of course you can dork your always welcome here

Chloe- I'll be there soon and sorry again about mentioning you know what in public

Max-Your fine Chloe and honestly i really don't care anymore everyone will find out eventually anyway

Chloe-Good point. Love ya.

Max-Love you too (Heat emoji)

Chloe-NO EMOJI!

I couldn't help but laugh. Chloe sure is a one of a kind.


I just got back from the shower room and saw Chloe laying on my bed. When she noticed me she sat up. "Hey Max."

I sat down next to her. "Hey. How was your first day at the diner?" I asked.

She shrugged. "A lot of walking but other than that not to bad." She answered while putting an arm around me.

I leaned into her side and rested against her shoulder. "That's good. I had a little..Talk with Warren a while ago."

"Oh yeah? Ask you to marry him?" She teased.

"Pretty damn close. You know what he said after asking me out? He said he made it his new years resolution to win my heart over and that he won't stop trying."

I felt Chloe's arm pull me a little closer. "Like hell he will. I'll knock him down a few pegs if you want?"

I smiled. "It's fine Che. I can handle it. And your really sexy when you get jealous."

She rolled her eyes. "Oh please what do I have to be jealous about? I got the most amazing girlfriend in the world with a beautiful baby girl on the way."

I looked at he questionably. "How do you know it's going to be a girl? It might be a boy."

She smiled and shook her head. "Nope it's a girl i know it is."

"Well i think it's going to be a boy."

"Your on Maximus!"

We fell into a comfortable silence. I felt Chloe rubbing my stomach softly. "Your going to be a great mother Max." She whispered.

I want to believe Chloe i really do but sometimes i have doubts. "I don't know how to Chloe." I whispered back.

"Well you didn't get an abortion and you chose it over your parents and defended it despite knowing how..it came to be. Your a great mother already Max."

I smiled knowing that Chloe was right. Despite everything thrown at me. All the fears and worries i chose the baby over it all. "I love you Chloe."

She leaned down and kissed me and laid us down with our lips still connected. After we parted she whispered back. "I love you to."

She held me as I snuggled against her. I didn't care what anyone said. Right here in this amazing woman's arms is the safest place in the world.
