Chapter 11

5 weeks later...

It had been 5 weeks since Dom went to prison, and Letty felt like shit the whole time. The first week after he left, she could barely sleep. She was too used to having a warmth other than hers, in her bed, but now obviously it was just her own warmth. The next 2 weeks were hell because she got sick with the flu. She was throwing up every 5 minutes, and her whole body ached. The next 3 weeks were unusual. She thought she still had lingering symptoms from the flu, but she was only getting sick in the morning, and her boobs hurt like a motherfucker. The symptoms didn't connect until one day at school, when she was talking to her friend, Kaylin.

"Hey Kaylin." Letty said as she sat down at the lunch table.

"Wow, Let, you look like shit. What happened to you?" Kaylin said.

"I threw up so much this morning. I cried at a fucking puppy comercial last night. My boobs hurt so much."

"Letty, do you know what those are symptoms of?"

"No."

"Is there anyway you could be pregnant?"

"What, no." Letty paused to think about it, and then the realization set in. "Maybe. Fuck, I'm pregnant." Letty cried.

"You don't know that for sure."

"K, what else would it be?"

"I don't know, I'm not a doctor."

"What symptoms did you have when you were pregnant with Gracie?"

"Pretty much the same. I had terrible morning sickness, I cried about everything, my boobs hurt, I couldn't stand most smells or tastes for the first 5 months."

"Fuck."

"Look, if you are pregnant, I'll help you."

"Thanks."

"You should buy some pregnancy tests after school. Just call me before you take them, and I'll come over."

"Alright. I got to go. Bye." Letty said as she stood up from her seat.

She spent the rest of the day in a haze. She was thinking about how bad it would be if she had a baby. She thought of Dom, and how he would be a parent. She thought about it so much, she even started tearing up in Math.

By the end of the day, she couldn't wait to go home. She knew she had to take the tests, but she was scared. She didn't know how she would tell Dom. All she knew was that she had to find out if she was really pregnant.

As soon as she got out of school, she drove to the store and picked up 3 different tests. She drove home, and called Kaylin. Kaylin came over within 10 minutes, and she peed on the tests.

"Ok, all 3 tests are going. I just have to wait like 3 minutes until I can find out." Just as Letty said that, the front door opened and Vince and Mia appeared.

"Hey Let, you up there?" Vince said.

"Uh, yeah."

"Whatcha doin'?"

"Nothing."

"Why weren't you at the garage?"

"I had some things to take care of."

"Anything you want to talk about?"

At this point Letty got tired of yelling, and walked downstairs. "Not really, at least not yet."

"Are you ok, you seem a little flushed?"

"V, I'm fine."

"Ok. Hey what do you want for dinner?"

"V, I have to go, just figure it out." Letty snapped.

"Fine Let, calm down."

"Sorry." Letty said, as she walked back upstairs.

Letty and Kaylin went into the bathroom together, and looked at the tests.

"Fuck, I'm pregnant." Letty said as she picked up one of the tests.

"I'm so sorry, Let." Kaylin said as she put her arms around Letty's middle.

"I'm so scared." Letty cried.

"I know. I'll be here with you the whole time. It'll be ok. Teen pregnancy isn't as scary as you might think, trust me I know."

"Kaylin, the father is in jail, and I don't have my parents for support. What the hell am I supposed to do?"

"You have me and Vince. You'll be ok."

"Can you stay over for dinner, to help me?"

"Yeah, sure." Letty gathered all of the tests, and walked to her room. She put them in her nightstand, and walked downstairs with one of the tests.

"Hey V, can I tell you something?"

"Let, I'm cooking."

"Vince this is really important."

"Fine." Vince said as he put down the spatula. "What's up." Letty didn't say anything, she just held up the test, and immediately say Vince's reaction. "What the hell Letty?"

"I'm so scared." Letty cried.

"Let, are you pregnant?"

"Yes Vince, keep up." Letty snapped.

"Let, it'll be ok." Vince said as he pulled Letty into a hug. "How long have you known?"

"Like 2 minutes."

"Do you want to tell Dom?"

"I don't know."

"If you decided you want to tell him, I'll take you."

"Thanks V." Vince went back to making dinner, and Letty went back upstairs.

Letty and Kaylin spent the rest of the time before dinner, upstairs in Letty's room. Vince called Mia, Letty, and Kaylin down down, about 30 minutes after Letty told him.

Vince, Letty, Mia, and Kaylin ate dinner, and then Kaylin went home for a little bit, and came back with her daughter. Kaylin stayed the night, and her and Letty talked the whole night.

A/N: Hey guys, so that was Letty's pregnancy chapter. The next one will be 10 weeks later. Letty will find out what the gender is.

You may be wondering how they pay for the house, so the house is payed off. Vince pays for the electricity and water with the money they make at the garage. Letty and Mia are hiding from CPS (Child Protective Services) because they are still kids, and Vince can't adopt them.

Also there are other people who work at the garage, and the diner was shut down.

I always enjoy feedback.~Marie.
