Wendy's POV
I cried myself to sleep last night. I was really hoping yesterday was just a horrible dream, but no. It wasn't.
I have been in bed since I woke up at 7. Stan called and told me Dipper had left on his own, don't know how long he will be gone for.
My dad is coming with me to help me move my things out. He is really mad at Dipper, but also mad at me. I told him I was pregnant.
I'm not even a 100 percent sure. The doctor said there is a possibility that I was, like a 90 percent chance I was, but it looks like I am. I should know by the end of this week.
My dad and I got into the truck. We didn't talk much since I dropped the bomb on him.
He looks over at me quick then looks back at the road, "If you are pregnant what are you going to about Dipper? Will he help raise the kid? What about school?"
I rubbed my temples, just thinking about that made my head hurt. "Dad I don't know yet. Let's not talk about this until I'm fully sure."
He didn't say anything back. I knew I disappointed him.
We got there. I was sad leaving. I had called this place my home for almost the past 7 months.
Stan comes to the door, "Hey you need help with anything? Or hungry? Thirsty?"
"I can go for some water if that's okay. I'm okay with the help, my dad can carry the heavy things for me."
He leaves to bring me a water bottle. My dad is standing behind me, "Dad just sit and wait till I need your help carrying stuff down."
He sits next to Stan and they start watching reruns of ducktective.
I go up to pack my things.
It doesn't take me long to finish packing, I guess I never realized how much little things I had in here.
I sit at his desk and start looking at the picture frames of us.
I gently pick one up and say to myself out loud, "oh Dipper why did you have to screw things up. why couldn't you have just loved me."
"Heh I'm so damn selfish sometimes. I can be happy on my own, I'll miss you but I can be happy again on my own. I hope."
I stand up and look at myself in the mirror, I didn't realize how messy my hair was and how horrible I looked.
I did look like I was gaining some weight.
I lift up my shirt and stare at my stomach.
Would it be bad to have baby? I wouldn't want Dipper to choose me just because I'm pregnant. Just because he feels like he has to choose me.
I always wanted a kid, but I think it's just the wrong time. If I am, I'll still be happy.
I put my shirt back down and go back downstairs, "Dad can you come help me put my stuff in the truck?"
Stan helps too. It made the process a lot quicker. I took my last bag and looked around the room one last time. I went over to his desk and left a note for him.
I whisper, "Bye Dipper."
I head outside and hug Stan, "Thank you for letting me stay here. Thank you for everything Stan. I'll come by to visit you, Ford and Mabel. I'll call you if I need anything. Bye."
He pats my back, "If you need us, you know where to find us. Take care of yourself kid."
I get into the truck and don't look back.
3 months later.
I look down at my phone to re read the message from Mabel.
Wendy come to the shack at 8! It's my birthday! I miss you and want you to come over, we are throwing a party like last year! Come on it will be fun!
I reply, "Okay I'll be there at 8."
It was already 7. I guess I should get ready then.
I shower and start getting ready. I finished around 9. I guess my whole family was invited because they were waiting on me to leave.
I wore a loose fitting black dress that stops under my knees with some black flats.
We arrive and the party had already begun and most of the town was here.
I look around and see Mabel. I gave her a quick hug and handed her some money, "Happy Birthday Mabel! Sorry I couldn't get you a gift. I'll make it up to you soon."
She smiles, "Don't worry about it Wendy, I'm glad you are here! You have to stay after so we can sing karaoke! That will be you making it up to me please!"
I roll my eyes, "Alright fine I'll stay for karaoke. Where is Stan at? I want to say hi."
She looks around, "I think he's in the house."
I walk into the house and see Stan sitting on the couch drinking a beer.
I leaned against the doorway, "You sure know how to party huh?"
He looks over and smiles,"Hey kid how are you? Here come sit with me, grab a drink."
I sat on the couch and laugh a bit, "I'm doing okay, school is coming up so I have to deal with that for another semester and I'm done. Uh no drinks for me dude. I can't have any for the next five months."
He looked confused, "Why five months? You on some sort of diet?"
I laughed, "No dude, I'm pregnant. that week I moved out of here, the doctors told me I was pregnant. At first I was a bit depressed but now I'm pretty happy. I'm happy on my own."
He looked happy and surprised,"Congrats kid! I get to have another nephew or niece. Have you told Dipper yet or are you going to tell him?"
I sighed, "I mean eventually I will tell him. I heard her is dating Pacifica, I don't want to ruin his happiness just yet. So maybe when I have the baby, I'll tell him. I miss him a lot. Not just as my boyfriend, but as my best friend, you know? I miss having someone to talk too."
We heard someone clearing their throat and we both look over to the stairs, it was Dipper.
Shit.
He walks closer and Pacifica is behind him. She rolls her eyes at the sight of me and grabs his hand, "Come on Dipper let's go have some fun."
He doesn't move,"Wait or go on without me. I need to talk to her about something."
She leaves.
He looks at Stan then at me. I keep my eyes glued on the floor.
"Grunkle Stan think you can give us a minute alone?"
Stan looks at me, "You want to be alone with him?"
I stand up, "It's fine Stan, I was going to go back outside anyways."
I don't look at Dipper. I can't look at him.
I walk past him but he grabs my hand, "We need to talk. I heard what you were saying to Grunkle Stan just now. You're pregnant? Were you going to tell me? I have a right to know even if I'm seeing someone else. That's my kid."
I pulled my hand away. Still not looking at him, "I don't know Dipper. I can't talk about this right now."
He stepped toward the stairs, "Come with me, please?"
I looked over at where he was going. He was going to our, I mean his room.
I followed him into his room. I looked around, it hasn't changed much. Just instead of pictures of us, it's pictures of Pacifica and him. And her clothes on his bed.
He closes the door and sits on the bed. I'm standing next to his table, looking at the floor.
I feel him staring at me, but I don't look up. "You can sit down if you want."
"I'm fine I don't intend our conversation lasting long so no need for me to sit."
It gets quiet for a minute.
"So why did you want me to come here? Did you want to talk more privately or what?"
He sighs, "I wanted you to talk more privately and I was hoping I could maybe hug you."
I look up at him and I was furious, "Hug me? Really? Are you fucking serious? After I moved out the day after we broke up. You didn't call or even text me. Nothing. That next week I heard you started dating her! You had already made your choice, you were just waiting for me to leave you. Didn't you? This is why I didn't want to tell you I was pregnant. Because I didn't want my baby to know how much of an asshole its father is!"
I felt the tears coming.
He stands up and moves closer, I move back and bump into the table.
"That's why? No I didn't make my choice. I'm with Pacifica to get over you. I was hoping you'd call me. But you didn't. You're note you left said you loved me and that you'll miss me. You don't think I miss you! Because I do! Damn it Wendy I'm still in love with you! I always bug Mabel to ask how you are doing for me! I miss you like crazy! I haven't had sex with her because I only want you. I need you. I'm nothing without you. I was trying to move on with someone who doesn't make me happy the way you do and someone who doesn't understand me the way you do. You weren't just my girlfriend you were also my best friend. I've felt so lost without you. I want you back in my life as my friend. And in time I'm hoping as my girlfriend again. Will you give me another chance?"
He was crying too. I knew he meant every word. I could tell from the way he talked and the look in his eyes.
I put my hand on his face and wiped away a tear with my thump.
"Dipper. I need you to be a man. If you wanted me you would've fought like hell to get me back. Not try to forget about me. And I don't want you to hurt her this way. You need to talk to her and tell her everything you told me. I'm willing to give you another chance. We will work our way back. But for now we are just friends okay? I'm still in love with you too. But just friends right now okay?"
He kisses my forehead, "Okay Wendy. I'll be a man. I'll talk to her later tonight. Just friends right now."
We both smile and I hug him.
He hugs me back, "How many months are you? Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Does your dad know?"
I let go of him and lean against the table, "I'm about 4 months now. No idea yet, I sort of want it to be a surprise. My dad does know. And he's hoping it's a boy. He's still really upset at you. He was upset with me for a while but he's gotten over it. My brothers are excited to be uncles. They are always talking to my stomach. The other night Robbie and Tambry came over, and Tambry was reading to my stomach. Robbie played the guitar to my stomach. I guess talking to it while it's in the stomach gets it used to your voice or whatever."
He was smiling so big at me.
I laughed, "Sorry I'm just babbling on about nonsense. I'm just happy about this little one."
He is looking at my stomach. I pull my dress back to make it tight, to show my little bump to him.
"I know I'm not huge but that's your kid in there."
He smiled so big and got on his knees, "May I touch it?"
I nod. And he places his hands on my stomach and kisses it.
I'm just looking at him, I start running my fingers through his hair.
He whispers, "Hey little one, it's your daddy. Hi there. I can't wait to meet you."
There was a knock on the door and Dipper stands up quickly. I fix my dress to hide my little bump.
He opened the door and it was Mabel and Pacifica.
Pacifica looks at me annoyed, "Dipper come on let's go."
He looks at me then at her, "Pacifica we need to talk."
I look over at Mabel and she signals for us to leave.
We leave them to talk.
Mabel laughs, "Let's go do some karaoke! It's already 11, a lot of people left already. I think your dad was looking for you?"
We head outside and I see my dad talking to Stan.
I walk over, "Hey dad I'm going to stay for awhile and hang out with Mabel and her friends."
He calls over my brothers, "Alright call when you need a ride okay?"
Him and Stan say bye, then Stan looks over at me. "So what happened with Dipper?"
I told him what had been said and he laughs, "About damn time that kid mans up. He's talking to her now? I never liked Pacifica, she's too stuck up and annoying."
We both laugh. Mabel comes running over, "Come on you two you have to choose your songs for karaoke!"
We head over and we start looking at our options.
Then we heard the door slam open and we all look over.
Pacifica is walking out and Dipper is following her.
She gets to her car and opens the door, "Fuck you asshole. I hope you're happy with that. Don't talk to me ever again!"
She drives off, Mabel walks over to Dipper. "Dipper what happened!"
He rubs his cheek, you can see she slapped him hard, "Nothing I just told her that I was still in love with Wendy. And that I wanted to be with Wendy not her. I wanted to be her friend still but she didn't obviously."
Mabel shrugs, "Oh well nothing you can do now, come on its cake time! Then karaoke after!"
We had cake and sang bad karaoke songs.
We all came into the house to sit and watch t.v. We were all partied out.
I sat down and started rubbing my back.
Dipper looked concerned, "What's wrong? Are you okay? Should I do something?"
I laughed, "Stop dude I'm fine. Just my back is hurting me. Hurts carrying around another person in your stomach."
Mabel, Grenda, and Candy all look at me and say, "What?!"
"Oh yeah forgot to tell you girls. Well surprise? I'm pregnant."
Mabel hugged me, "Oh my waddles! This is amazing! I'm going to be an aunt!"
I let the girls rub my stomach, Mabel wanted to draw on it but I wasn't wearing shorts under my dress.
The girls decided to go up to Mabel's room to talk about boys. Mabel looks at me before going up the stairs,"Wendy wanna come?"
I smile, "Next time Mabes. I should head home now before my dad gets mad."
She waves,"Aw okay, bye Wendy thank you for coming!"
I wave bye and pull out my phone from my bag.
Dipper stands up, "I can take you home if you'd like. I don't mind."
I smile and blush a bit,"Yeah I'd like that."
We get into Stan's car and head to my house.
At one point he had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on my stomach.
"Dipper. I don't think it will be a good idea if you came over to my house. I mean to come over to talk to my stomach and stuff. My dad is still mad. I would need to talk to him and make him understand the situation. He would kill you if you tried to come over."
He moved his hand away from my stomach to my hand. "Hey it's okay. I understand. I guess I'll have to see you around school and you'll have to come over to the shack till then huh?"
"We will figure something out. I also suggest you read up on baby books. I'm making my dad and brothers read baby books so you should do the same."
We pull up to my house, he turns off his headlights so he doesn't alert my dad. "Okay I'll get some books and read. I'll be ready for this. When you go to the doctors again, would it be okay if I went along?"
I squeezed his hand, "Yeah of course you can. I'll see you later okay?"
I kissed his cheek and our lips slightly touch together. I immediately was turned on. Stupid hormones.
He apologizes, "Sorry about that. Goodnight Wendy."
"Goodnight Dipper."
I go inside and my dad is sitting on the couch.
"Hi dad. Uh I got a ride from-"
He interrupts me,"I know from Dipper. You two talked right? Fixed everything?"
"Uh yeah we talked things out. He broke up with his girlfriend. We are going to start over as friends and work our way back."
He changes the channel,"How did he take the news he was going to be a dad?"
I smiled, "He was happy and excited."
