Chapter 11
Unexpected
Ben P.O.V
"You never kissed a guy? Really? Not even to try?" Annilyn asked with a look of pure fascination in her eyes. I shook my head.
"Well, my brother and I used to kiss because our parents thought it was adorable. Does that count?" I asked remembering all the torturous things they used to do. I think I miss them, but not as much as I'd miss Rosie, Becca, Hannah, Sophie and everyone else if I left here. I'd miss Annilyn the most.
"It does count," Annilyn smiled down at me because she sat on my stomach. Our room was quiet for once and we've been enjoying it. Or well Annilyn has with all these questions.
"Did you ever hide something from me?" she looked sad as she spoke. I shook my head. A tear rolled down her cheek though.
"Annilyn, I swear I haven't hidden anything from you. I'm an open book," I tried to reassure her. She shook her head and got off my stomach, she lied down facing away from me. I turned her way and wrapped my arms around her waist. Annilyn had been losing weight and gaining over the last two months. It's freaking the heck out of me.
"That's not it, Ben. I've been hiding something from you," she whispered holding herself and pushing my hands away. I frowned and sat up in bed. She hid something from me. I swallowed, is it what I think it is?
"Does it have to do with your weight lost?" I asked slowly, watching her fragile looking body. She nod her head.
"And your weight gain...?" she chuckled but I could see that it was forced. She nod again and still starring the other way, not wanting me to touch her.
"So you've noticed," she whispered.
"Of course I've noticed! Annilyn, it's okay! I'm here for you, I'll help you through this!" I flung my self at her side, hugging her to show her that I was there. She cried in my arms.
"I don't think you'll stay after I tell you why," she whispered desperately trying to get out of my arms. I let her go and she faced me standing up.
"Annilyn, I'll stay! I know you lost a lot of people. A lot of friends in the last months and you feel lost and sad! But please let me help you in your time of need!" I begged tears streaming down my cheeks. She gave me a confused look and then it seemed to click.
"No, Ben. I'm not depressed. I'm sad that we lost Boyd and Erika, but I am not suicidal. Not even close. I swear, baby," she came to my level stroking my cheeks and wiping my tears away.
"Then, what's wrong?" I asked.
"I'm pregnant, Ben. I have been for three-ish months now. I suspected it for a while too," she said with a sad look. I looked at her and processed it. She's not depressed, she's not starving herself, she's not suicidal... She's just pregnant. Wait! Pregnant? I snapped my eyes to Annilyn's, she was biting her bottom lip.
"You're pregnant? But... How?"
"When we...er, you know... Do I really need to go into details?" she looked super uncomfortable. We were careful. We... She wasn't on the pill though. Not that day, she had forgot to take it. I looked into her eyes again.
"I love you and I'll stand by you through all of this. I promise," I whispered wrapping my arms around her. She nod and tears escaped.
"I love you too, Ben,"
"We're having a baby," I said with a nod and half smiled at Annilyn. I hope to god she can't see that I am freaking out in the inside. Can we do this? Can we take care of a baby? I don't want it to be screwed up because of our bad parenting.
"Baby?" someone yelled before I was rammed and knocked to the floor of my room by at least three people.
"Oh my god! You two are having a child? An angel!" Rosie yelled from over me.
"I can't believe this!" Becca was over me too.
"Group hug!" Isaac sang also over me.
"Guys! Don't break him!" Annilyn yelled too.
"Congratulations, I swear we'll be here with you two through it all! All of us!" Rosie was jumping up and down as I got up. I looked at the excitement in the short girl and frowned. Why do they have to listen in on us every time we talk?
"Wait! Who's going to tell Hannah?" Becca asked looking at Denise, Rosie and Annilyn. I hadn't noticed the girl before. She was quiet compared to all the others.
"Who's going to tell me what?" why does she appear every time we say her name? Why? Denise took a run for it, I wished I could have too but I was in this.
"Denise! Wait for me!" Rosie ran out with Isaac on her heels. Becca was the only one that stayed. So much for being here through it all.
"Hannah, promise us you will not throw a fit. Please," Becca spoke up first. I was glad, because I had no idea what to say. I held Annilyn behind me, just in case. Hannah can be violent, most of the time and I don't want the baby to get hurt.
" I swear, scouts honour and all that," Hannah replied sitting on the bed. I nod and looked at Becca. She gave me a look that said something like 'grow a pair and say something'. I didn't want to though but Becca waited. So I took half a step forward.
"I...er, we are expecting a baby," I said in a rush. Hannah cocked her head to the side, eye brow lifted. She was looking behind me at Annilyn. She stayed put and didn't have a facial expression. I swallowed, maybe this is worst then her throwing a tantrum.
"Okay, er, congratulations. I hope you don't abort..." she broke off with a shrug.
"We're keeping him," Annilyn rushed to say.
"Or her," I added.
"So, er, that's good... Guys, seriously you are making me feel like a dang doctor. Why are you afraid? Can't I just hug you and we can party?" Hannah asked with a concerned look. I think this is how I would have felt if I was in front of Annilyn's parents. Or maybe, it's ten times worst because I don't know if she's fooling me or not. What am I suppose to do?
"Yes, Hannah, you can hug us and we can party. It's just, you're the Alpha and we didn't know what that made you in the situation," oh thank god. I couldn't think of anything to say. I suck when I'm under pressure.
"Holly crap guys! I'm like the rest of the pack! Congratulations!" She jumped up and hugged us both. I had to help Annilyn, so she wouldn't fall back. Becca was smiling in the background for once. It's been tough on all of us since Boyd... Do not cry, Ben. You can't cry...
"I have to go guys, Derek can't cope and he needs me there. Maybe the news will cheer him up?" Hannah left the room with a smile and wave. I turned to Becca.
"That went well, didn't it," I nod in agreement and Becca left the room too. I lied down beside Annilyn.
"So, have you been having the morning sickness? The mood swings?" she shook her head and stayed quiet.
"I just want to stay here in this moment forever," she whispered. I agreed, because we were finally peaceful.
Sophie P.O.V
I'm doing volunteering work on a Saturday morning. Why? I looked at all the bags of corn on a cobs the school had payed for. Every year, at the beginning of the year, our school buys food for us to welcome us into the school spirit after two months of partying. This food activity happens a month after school actually starts. So it's weird for all of us.
"Sophie, are you listening to me?" Jace asked as he bent down to take a bag filled with corn. Oh, that's why I am volunteering, I remember now. Well he isn't the only reason for my volunteering, Hannah also made all of the werewolves participate and Derek is on that list of werewolves. It's weird seeing him in our cafeteria getting the corn reading for Monday. It makes me imagine him here at our school and it's freaky.
"You said something about Hannah checking Derek out," I said looking at Jace. He gave me a funny look.
"I don't know who Derek, or Hannah are and no, not even close," he replied with a roll of his eyes. I rolled my own eyes and took a bag of corn to a table of corn peelers that were ready.
"Why do you get the easiest task?" Denise asked still peeling her second corn on a cob. She's slow to do it but no one complains. Not even her, because Stiles helps her every so often.
"Because I was here first?" I asked and shrugged. She rolled her eyes and looked at Jace. Her smile could not have been more obvious.
"I get it now," she laughed. I rolled my eyes and turned to go back to the thirty bags that were left.
"Sophie! We're ready for a new bag!" Hannah yelled from Derek's side. I got a bag and went to dump it on their table. Derek looked to be focused on only one thing or well two, that was corn and Hannah. She held his hand at every chance she got, his pack are suffering since they found out about Boyd. We're all suffering, but his pack and Becca even more because they knew him the most. I still get nightmares though.
"Sophie, we need some too," my half-brother said from a farther table. I rolled my eyes and went to give his. Jace beat me to it though and winked.
"I was talking about your accident in the cafeteria yesterday," he murmured as he left to go to another table. People are fast in this place.
"You scared me and therefor why I dropped the last bag of flour, that's all that happened," I followed him and he smirked. I am not letting him think that he has me or whatever.
"Why were you in the fridge with flour?" he laughed.
"The cook puts it there, so the cooking class doesn't find it. The teacher knows anyway, so," I shrugged and sat on the closest table looking at the peelers. Jace sat by my side.
"Why are your friends so down?" he whispered. How did he know they were down? How does he know that they're my friends?
"We lost a friend yesterday," I replied with a frown.
"I'm sorry," he murmured with a frown now. I shook my head.
"Don't be, we're trying to move on..."
"So soon?" he asked. I nod my head. We can't be mourning, if we do we don't pay attention and our own lives can be in danger. Hannah used to tell me that all the time but it was dad that taught it to her. I still don't know why he didn't teach me all the things he did to Hannah. A senior waved for us to get more corn and Jace was off. I didn't get to talk to him after that because we were busy all day and then we left. I got a good bye half smile from him and then I was going away with the packs.
"So, who's that?" Hannah was smiling.
"Jace, he's a new guy. I think," I shrugged and followed her into the Dodge. Derek, Denise, Isaac also were in the truck. Our pack was already gone to their work place.
I followed Hannah inside the barn and jumped into the couch. Isaac and Rosie tried to make a run for it but Hannah stopped them.
"Wait, I got a new rule," she said and we all turned to look at her. A new rule? We got rules in here? Since when?
"If you bring your boyfriend/girlfriend over, he/she has to sleep on the couch. Got that?" she asked. I looked around at the couples, which was Annilyn, Ben, Rosie, Isaac and well Derek with Hannah. Becca, Denise, Stiles and I all stayed there awkwardly.
"Yeah, sure. Okay, Hannah," Rosie said first and then she ran up stairs with Isaac.
"So, we'll have to split up?" Ben asked scratching his head and looking at Annilyn. Hannah nod with a sad look before she went out the door with Derek. They'll have to find a new bed for Ben in the same room, or they'll have to make Ben a new room, or he can sleep on the couch every night. I don't think he would though.
"Come on Sophie," Hannah yelled. I got up slowly and stretched. I'm not going to run for her, I'll come but slowly and on my own time.
"Bye people! Don't forget the rule," I felt bad for the rule but Hannah was just trying to make it more difficult for unexpected pregnancies.
Here it is! The new chapter, sorry if their is a lot of missed spelled words I was in a hurry to update. So anyway, hope you like it and we'd like to see what you think. So please review! We don't own Teen Wolves.
