And now for a big surprise!! get ready!! lol thanks for the reviews lovelies!!
A week had passed since Ajay and Mollie's blow up. Ajay had not been on the best of terms with her or Bailey whom she'd also got into a shouting match with.
She had her annual gynecologist appointment today so Alex had offered to watch Joey so Chris could go to Can-Am as a favor to Scott. She groaned inwardly, she HATED going to the doctor.
Meanwhile Aiden had come home for a short stay with Alex. They had worked things out after he'd confessed to every minute detail of what happened that night. She was sitting between Riley and Joey watching cartoons when Alex came downstairs. He leaned over the couch behind her and tilted her chin up to kiss her lips.
"I've got a hundred things to do, you don't mind watching them do you?" he rushed.
"No, of course not. Hurry back though okay?" she grinned.
"Thank you gorgeous. I love you." He kissed her again, "Hey you two midgets."
The kids looked up at him.
"Be good for Aiden okay?" he said.
They nodded and turned back to the TV. He kissed Riley's head as he left.
"What did you want for breakfast this morning?" Aiden asked.
They both sat up excitedly, "We want FRENCHIES!"
Aiden grinned as she stood up, "French toast it is."
She went to the kitchen and grabbed the counter as a wave of dizziness hit her. She inhaled and exhaled slowly as the room kept spinning. She felt her stomach churning as she raced to the bathroom. She barely got the toilet lid up before she threw up. She heaved for several minutes gripping the toilet to keep herself steady. She'd never experienced anything like this before.
"A-Ten, are you okay?" the quiet voice of Joey called on the other side of the door.
"I'm fine honey, go back and watch the movie." She said just before she began heaving again.
She coughed several times because she had nothing left to puke up.
"A-Ten?" Riley called.
Aiden splashed her face with cold water before she opened the door, "I'm okay. I just didn't feel very well for a minute."
They were both looking up at her with worried faces.
"Mommy gives me grape stuff when I don't feel good." Joey said.
Riley held her hand, "A-Ten, you get dat grape stuff so you won't be sick no more."
Aiden could feel another wave of sickness coming as she dropped Riley's hand and went back into the bathroom. She heaved again and again into the bowl.
"A-Ten!" Riley cried on the other side of the door.
She wiped her mouth with the towel as she slid down the wall to the floor. She reached over and opened the door as Riley rushed into her arms crying. Joey sat beside her and leaned his head against her arm.
"Shhh…its okay Riley." Aiden shushed, rubbing the little girl's back.
Joey was patting her arm trying to soothe her, "You need the grape stuff."
Aiden suddenly froze as she counted in her head…twice. She was a week late on her cycle. She was like clockwork, she was never late, and she had never missed a period.
Which could only mean one thing…
"Go get your shoes on; we're going on a field trip." She said quickly.
The kids bolted into the living room to pull ton their shoes. Aiden got up and went to change. She threw on a pair of short jean shorts with frayed ends and a Motor City Machine Guns shirt she had stylishly cut into a halter top with a pair of flip flops. They got in Aiden's Mercedes as they took off to the pharmacy.
They held her hands as they went in the store. She went straight to the pregnancy tests and began studying the boxes as the kids held onto her shorts. She had her oversized sunglasses sitting low on her nose as she was reading.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a woman staring at her. She looked over at her and the lady stuck her nose up in the air. Aiden rolled her eyes, she had more important things to deal with than some stuck up woman. She turned back to the box she was looking at and could feel the woman staring at her again.
Finally she'd had enough.
"Can I help you?" Aiden looked at the woman haughtily.
"I was just wondering how such a young girl like you had two children already and another one on the way." The woman said eyeing Joey and Riley.
"That's really none of your business now is it?" Aiden said.
The lady shook her head.
"Probably three different fathers too." The woman said not so quietly.
"You know if I wanted your opinion I would have asked you for it. These aren't even my kids for your information." Aiden said.
Riley tugged on one side of Aiden's jeans, "Her mean!"
Joey pointed to the lady, "Meanies go to timeout!"
Aiden smirked at the lady as she picked out a pregnancy test, "Come on, say bye to the lady who obviously doesn't own a mirror."
"Bye." Riley and Joey smiled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" the lady asked.
"Oh nothing, you have fun putting that foot in your mouth with those hideous shoes you're wearing." Aiden grinned as they all three stuck their tongues out at the lady before they went to the counter to check out.
They stopped and ate breakfast and eventually made it home after running a few more errands. Aiden was scared to take the test now. Her nerves were making her queasy again too. Joey spied her grabbing the timer as she headed to the bathroom.
"Whatcha doing?" he asked standing in the doorway.
Aiden looked at the timer and the test in her hands, "I have to time something."
"Are you cooking something?" he asked.
"Sort of." She smiled.
"What are you cooking?" Riley asked as se walked up the stairs.
"A bun…in my oven." She said, knowing that they wouldn't understand.
"Okay." Joey grinned as he let Aiden pass.
When she was done taking the test she set the timer and opened the door. Both kids were standing there waiting.
"Need help?" Riley asked.
The doorbell rang shrilly making Aiden jump.
"Call me when the timer goes off okay?" she said going to the stairs.
They both nodded.
She peered through the window to see Ajay's car in the drive, "Shit."
She opened the door, "Hey Ajay."
Ajay looked surprised, "I didn't know you were here."
Aiden shrugged obviously trying to hide something, "Yeah, I got in last night. I'm staying for about a week or so…"
Ajay watched her suspiciously, "Are you okay?"
Aiden nodded her head, "Yeah, I'm fine why, do I seem different to you or something?"
Ajay nodded, "Yeah, a little. You're like jumpy."
Aiden laughed nervously, "No. I'm fine. I mean why would I be nervous, no need to be right?"
"Where's Joey?" Ajay asked.
"He's upstairs. I'll go get him." Aiden said.
"No, its okay, I like to surprise him." Ajay smiled as she went to the stairs.
"NO!" Aiden shouted, as she covered her mouth to calm herself, "I'll go get him."
"What is going on Aiden?" Ajay asked.
"A-Ten! Your bun in the oven is done!" Joey screamed from the stairs running down them with the test in his hand.
Ajay's wide eyes met Aiden's. A devious smirk spread across Ajay's face as she grabbed the test and took off down the hall with it.
"AJAY!!" Aiden screamed as she went after her.
Riley and Joey ran screaming after them. Ajay was laughing maniacally as Aiden chased her around the house. She kept eluding Aiden by ducking and dodging out of the way.
The kids were laughing hysterically as the girls were screaming and running around like crazy people. Finally Aiden wised up and grabbed Ajay's Red Bull and clicked the top.
Ajay gasped when she saw Aiden holding it over the sink.
"HAND OVER THAT MOTHER FUZZY PEE STICK NOW! OR THE RED BULL GETS IT!!" Aiden yelled breathing heavily.
"You wouldn't dare!" Ajay said.
Aiden spilled half down the sink, "I wouldn't?"
"NO!!" Ajay screamed.
"Put it on the counter and NO FUNNY BUSINESS!!" she ordered.
Ajay placed the test on the counter and backed away. Aiden poured the rest of the Red Bull down the sink as she snatched the test and ran upstairs to the bathroom. Ajay chased her up the stairs but Aiden had already locked the door.
She gave her a few minutes before she knocked on the door, "Aiden?" Ajay called.
No answer.
"Aiden come on." She said.
She heard the doorknob click as she slowly opened the door. They locked eyes with each other, both pairs filled with tears.
"I'm pregnant." Aiden said softly.
Ajay smiled as her tears fell, "So am I."
Aiden laughed as her tears fell too. They hugged each other tightly as they cried.
"Mommy?" Joey asked.
"It's okay baby, Mommy's just happy." Ajay said hugging him too.
They went back downstairs and sat on the couch. Riley was in Aiden's lap and Joey was in Ajay's
"I had a doctor's appointment this morning and I found out then." Ajay smiled.
"I threw up for fifteen minutes and then realized." Aiden said.
"Alex is going to be so happy. He's wanted to get back with you the entire time you've been gone. He's just going to be head over heels." Ajay said rubbing Joey's back.
"So is Chris. Alex told me the two of you have been trying for a long time." Aiden said.
Ajay nodded excitedly, "How are we going to tell them?"
"I don't know what if we made like a cake or something and wrote it on top?" Aiden suggested.
Ajay clapped her hands together, "I don't know how to cook."
Aiden laughed, "If the kids can do it, so can you."
LATER THAT NIGHT
Aiden, Ajay, Riley, and Joey had all helped fix dinner and helped bake the cake that had been adorned with cream cheese frosting and sprinkles.
Ajay, Chris, Alex, and Aiden were at the table talking. The kids were upstairs playing.
"Hope you saved room for dessert." Aiden smiled, as she got up to go to the kitchen.
Ajay was grinning widely when Aiden returned and sat the cake down in front of the Guns.
"Aww…did Joey and Riley help make this?" Chris smiled.
"I did the sprinkles." Ajay said.
"Yeah, we know because my house didn't burn down." Alex quipped.
"Congratulations Daddies? I don't get it." Chris stated looking between Ajay and Aiden.
"Me either." Alex said.
"We're pregnant!" both girls squealed.
Chris stood up, "Are you serious!? You're pregnant right now?"
Ajay nodded excitedly. He grabbed her up in a huge hug as he kissed her face all over.
"I'm going to be a daddy! I'm going to have a baby!" he yelled.
Aiden was laughing at Chris' reaction when she turned to Alex. He looked completely lost in thought. Aiden waited expectantly for maybe a delayed reaction or something but he just sat there with a worried look on his face. She chewed her lips as tears stung her eyes.
"I'm going to go check on the kids." She said softly as she rushed out of the room.
Ajay pushed out of Chris' arms and put her hands on her hips staring harshly at him, "What the fuck is your problem?"
"Yeah, aren't you excited dude?" Chris asked.
Alex shook his head, "You just don't understand."
Ajay was irate. She and Aiden had had such a good day and now his dumb ass was going to ruin it.
"You are such a piece of shit Alex! Poor Cookie has been so excited all day to tell you and you act like she just ran over your dog!" she said.
"He doesn't have a dog." Chris interjected.
"Shut up." Ajay glared at him.
"Who's Cookie?" Alex asked.
"It's the nickname I gave her, because she's sweet and cooks, and we made those 'Aiden Cookies', it just worked, don't change the subject! Why the hell are you not excited?" she asked.
"Do you know how fucking pissed Bay's going to be? No, you have no clue. You don't know anything. Aiden is going to have to raise this baby by herself because Bailey's going to kill me when she finds out." Alex said angrily.
"I can't believe you let Bailey's unknown reaction completely ruin Cookie's announcement." Ajay hissed.
Aiden walked back in the room with her head down, "The kids were fine. Umm…did you want me to cut the cake?"
Alex looked at her, she looked so tiny and vulnerable. He didn't mean to upset her at all, but he had to worry about those situations in order to protect her and now their unborn child.
He pushed away from the table and went to her pulling her trembling frame into his arms, "Honey, I'm so sorry. I just worry about stuff too much; I didn't mean to upset you."
He felt her crying into his chest. Ajay poked her lip out to Chris. She felt bad for poor Aiden.
Alex lifted her chin up to look at him, "I love you. I'm sorry."
He kissed her lips gently. She was still crying. Even though it broke his heart to see her upset, she was so beautiful when she cried. Her eyes looked like the reflection of the sunrise off of a bed of water. He could see into her soul when he looked into them. It was the only time she was completely open and unguarded.
"So…so you're not mad that I'm pregnant?" she asked, her lip quivering.
He smiled, "No, I'm so happy, you just have no idea. I will finally get to go through all of the stages of your pregnancy. You're going to be so cute with a little belly on you."
She laughed through her tears, "I thought you didn't want to have a baby with me there for a minute."
Alex shook his head, "Why in the world would I not want to have a baby with my wife?"
Aiden stiffened at his words. Alex closed his eyes when he realized what he'd just said.
"YOUR WHAT!!??" Ajay and Chris yelled.
Way to go Alex!! What happens next? Review and you'll see :) xoxo
