All I can say is how thankful I am to you all.
I got the most reviews that I have ever gotten for any chapters of all my stories. I really am amazed at how many of you reviewed and could not be more grateful. Which is why I spent around forty minutes or so last night replying to all your signed reviews and did so again through out the day. I think I missed one though which I only got in my email not long ago, so there wasn't a point in sending a spoiler when I am updating now lol.
I just want to say, before I go on, how much you all mean to me. I never could have imaginined this story progressing this much, I never thought it would be here today. I really would still not be writing without your love and support, I couldn't be doing this without your kind words and encouragement.
I have made so many close friends on Twitter as well and I seriously can't not talk to some of you at least daily. You guys mean so much to me and I really have become close with so many of you. I feel so blessed to be able to talk to you!
Thank you!
I am so happy that almost every single one of you was extremely happy with Mitchie being pregnant.
Also, did you all see the Jemi pics? Them holding hands? Lying down and cuddling in the grass? SO CUTE!
Anyway, onto the chapter.
I really hope you enjoy this one.
This Is Our Song: Chapter 14
"I'm pregnant?" I breathed out in disbelief. I held a hand to my mouth and looked down at my stomach.
"You're going to be a mommy!" Caitlyn squealed.
I began crying and Caitlyn hugged me.
"I can't believe it," I said happily through my tears, "I am going to have a baby!" I squealed looking at the positive pregnancy test.
Caitlyn leant down and brought her head to my stomach and held her hands against it, "Hello little one, I'm aunty Caitlyn." She giggled.
"Caitlyn...I am going to be a mom!" I exclaimed in astonishment.
"Oh my god! Tell Shane!" She yelled, pulling her cell phone out her pocket.
I froze at this and stood up. I couldn't, not like this.
"Where are you going?" She asked, getting up and following me to the bathroom.
I set the pregnancy test down on my dresser, "I can't tell him, not now. I can't tell him this over the phone."
"Well we can fly out to see him; you don't have any interviews for a couple days."
"No, I can't do that."
"Why? It's easy."
I swallowed hard; I had a million thoughts running through my mind.
"Caitlyn, what if he doesn't want a baby right now? What if he doesn't want to have to put his career on hold temporarily? What if he thinks it's too soon because we haven't been married that long? What if he thinks we are too young? What if he isn't ready to be a dad?" I rambled at a thousand miles an hour.
Caitlyn had to grab my hands that had been flailing around in the air to get my attention; I didn't think she'd slap me because I was...pregnant after all.
"Mitchie, I promise you he will be happy." She guaranteed me, "He loves kids and he loves you. You know that he'd do anything for you."
"But what if he leaves me?" I said in almost a whisper.
For a split second I though Caitlyn really was going to slap some sense into me, but she placed her hands on either side of my face, "He would never ever leave you," she told me firmly, "He loves you more than anything, Mitchie. You are his life."
I nodded, accepting what she said, and Caitlyn proceeded to wrap her arms around me.
"I can't tell him yet still."
"What, why?" She asked me confused, letting go of me.
"He's busy promoting, Cait."
"We can still go see him; we can easily fly out to tell him." She pointed out.
I shook my head, "But if I told Shane, he'd want to stop all the promotion and come home."
"Mitchie, you need to tell him, do you remember what happened last time? You didn't tell Shane that you thought you were pregnant and he got mad at you. I thought you promised him then that you would tell him when you were pregnant."
"No, I promised him I'd tell him if I had pregnancy scare and this isn't a scare." I pointed out.
"Okay, so technically you didn't promise him, but you have to tell him regardless." She told me.
"I can't...it's just until promotion finishes before our anniversary. Please, promise me that you won't say anything to him or Nate or even Savannah." I begged her.
She sighed in defeat, "Fine, I promise I won't. But if you don't end up telling him when the promotion finishes, I will."
I hugged her, "I will. I promise you."
It was no more than five minutes later that my husband called me up.
"Hey baby, what's up?"
"Nothing." I replied almost instantly.
He laughed, "Sounds like something is up. I hope you and Caitlyn aren't getting into mischief."
"Of course not, we are always good."
"Well, I was thinking about how I will be home for our wedding anniversary after having some shows along the east coast."
"And?" I prodded him to continue on.
"I was thinking we could have a nice dinner at camp."
"As in Camp Rock?" I asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I mean it will practically be deserted. I think Uncle Brown will be the only one there and possibly Dee. We could have dinner and then just hang out for the night."
"That sounds perfect." I smiled.
"Drive down my baby, that way I can drive her home. I shall meet you there, it will be easier." He told me, referring to his convertible.
"Sure, what time?" I asked, slightly nervous. I knew what I had to do when I saw him.
"How about seven? I'll have some food made and bring it with me."
"Sounds good, Pop Star."
"I love you."
"Love you too." I replied, hanging up the phone.
I quickly told Caitlyn of Shane and my plans.
"You are going to tell him then right?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I will."
"At least you don't have to go buy him a present." She laughed.
...
I decided not to tell my parents of my pregnancy just yet. Shane deserved to know before everyone else, asides from Caitlyn. Caitlyn was there for me and for that I was eternally grateful.
Caitlyn urged me to go the doctor's later in the week when I began to start feeling nauseas. She just wanted me to get a check-up to make sure everything was fine.
"What can I do for you Mrs Gray?"
"Well, I took a pregnancy test earlier this week and it was positive. I've been feeling a little nauseas and my friend just wants to make sure everything is fine. She is a little paranoid." I laughed.
"Do you know how far along you are?" My doctor asked me.
"Around five weeks." I replied.
"It's probably a little too early for an ultrasound, plus most moms-to-be want the father to be there. How about we just do a blood-test and a routine check for now?"
I nodded, "That would be great."
...
My doctor called me the following day to confirm that I was indeed pregnant (and healthy).
"Well duh." Caitlyn stated, referring to me being pregnant, "Have you felt nauseas at all today?"
"A little," I replied, "I'm just glad that I've had no morning sickness yet."
I spoke too soon, the following morning I woke up and experienced my first bout of morning sickness.
I must have woken Caitlyn up as she came in to hold my hair back, "You alright?" She asked when I was done, rubbing my back.
"Oh my god, I have nine months of that?" I asked.
She laughed, "No, only your first trimester or so."
"I know, I just hate being sick and I guess maybe I am a little moody. Is that even possible?"
"Of course it is, pregnant or not you're female." She giggled.
I wiped my mouth with a cloth, "This seems kind of unreal still, I can't believe I'm carrying life in me right now."
Caitlyn held out her hand and pulled me up, "Come on; let's go get you some crackers or something, mommy."
...
I was anticipating Shane and my anniversary so much; more so now because of the news I had to share. I ended up buying him a present, kind of.
I found a small white baby onesie that had the Connect 3 logo on it. I laughed, bought it and rushed back to the apartment to show Caitlyn.
"Oh my god! I can only picture Shane's face when you tell him."
I smiled to myself, "I hope everything turns out fine."
"It will; you two are going to live happily ever after." Caitlyn teased me.
"How am I going to tell Jason and Savannah?"
Caitlyn knew exactly what I meant, "They may be a little upset but they will be happy for you. I know they will."
I sighed, "I hope you're right, I don't want them to hate me because I'm having a baby."
"They won't, they never could hate you."
Later that night I took my guitar and went onto the rooftop of the building. I made sure to bring my songbook up with a pen and sat down, gazing up at the sky.
There were only a couple more days until I would see him again and tell him that I was carrying his child.
We had been through a lot over the years, we really had. This was something else we would get through together, it was a good thing.
I began strumming my guitar, playing the first thing in my head, just a constant steady beat with not too many chords.
The lyrics soon came and I was proud of them, immensely proud of them.
I sat there on the roof of my building under the dark night's sky just singing to myself.
"The night is getting darker
Soon the stars
Will be falling down to rescue us
Sing a song for me
Lift me higher with your words
Sing that cold melody
Now follow me
Onto the moonlit sidewalk
And take my hand
Grip it tighter
Don't let it go
Passion's taking over skies
Leaving sand behind for them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger
Did you feel that breeze?
A tide of chills swept over me
It must of been
From the brush of your hand
Pull me into your arms
A little closer, baby
I wanna see you standing next to me
So take a walk with me
But keep the pace down
I don't want this night to end
Can't we run away together?
Passion's taking over skies
Leaving sand behind for them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger
Passion's taking over skies
leaving sand behind in the wind
For them to choke on
They'll try to speak negatively about us
But they can't say another word
They'll realize jealousy
Has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger
The night is getting darker
And soon the stars
Will be falling down to rescue us"
I went to bed that night feeling accomplished, it had been a while since I had written a song that I felt proud of. I contemplated on whether or not to put it on my next album but swayed away from doing so.
It was more of a private song; I would probably only ever let Shane hear it, it would be for his ears only.
...
The morning of our one year wedding anniversary I awoke to my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I yawned.
"Happy anniversary, Mrs Gray."
"Happy anniversary." I said, smiling.
"You're still in bed aren't you?"
"No." I quickly answered, springing up.
"There's a word for that, it's called being lazy." He teased me.
I got up to fast as I began to feel a little light-headed, "I've been a little tired lately." I said simply, trying not to move too quickly again.
"Well I've been up for hours, you excited for your present?"
"What?" I asked, feeling a little nauseas.
"I said are you excited for your present?" He repeated. "Are you alright? You seem a little distracted or something."
I knew what was coming so I quickly ran to the bathroom as I hung up the phone quickly saying that I'd call him back.
He would know soon enough.
...
Leaving for Camp Rock that night, I was pretty excited yet scared at the same time.
I would be telling Shane I was pregnant, I still couldn't get my head around that myself.
My morning sickness had generally been stopping at around eleven in the morning each day and I had been taking naps most afternoons. I had taken one before getting ready for tonight.
I knew it was stupid, but I put on a more flowing dress so you couldn't see my stomach at all. I knew I wasn't showing but I just didn't want to wear something that would emphasize my stomach anyway.
I felt the butterflies in my stomach when I finally pulled up at Camp Rock around four hours later.
I parked the car just in the grounds and got out and soon saw where I was supposed to go, there were rose petals on the ground making a trail.
This was it.
OMG!
She is going to tell him. :)
Excited? ;)
xox
