Arnold's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I groaned and sat up on my bed. The sun beamed through the skyline. I yawned, stretched and pulled the covers off of me. I got off the bed and put my pajama pants on and headed to the bathroom. I took a turned on the water and took off my clothes. I looked at my refection in the mirror and shook my head at the sight. I stepped in the shower and washed my body down. I poured soap in my hand and scrubbed my body with it then washed it off. I turned off the shower, got out, turned off the water and dried myself off. I went back to my room and got dressed. I put on my dark blue jeans, black t- shirt and a hoodie. I then put my sneakers on and brushed my hair. I grabbed my bag and stuffed my bag with snacks from my mini fridge.
I grabbed my phone, wallet and put them both my back pockets. Last thing I put on was jacket since it was becoming warmer outside. I walked downstairs and walked over to the kitchen to see everyone having breakfast. I waved to everyone and they all waved back except Oskar. Figures he wouldn't yet I didn't care.
"Leaving so soon Shortman?" Grandpa asked as he put down his newspaper.
"Yea. I have to go meet a friend downtown" I replied grabbing a piece of bacon off of his plate and shoving it in my mouth.
"Okay just remember what we talk about and take it easy" He began to read the paper again. I nodded and walked out the house. I put my headphones in my eyes and headed down the stairs and walked to the bus stop. I put my music on and played some jazz. The bus arrived and I get on, paid my fare and sat in the back. Yesterday event played in my head and I tried to shake it off a few times. I wonder what Rhonda wanted. It's been a few days since she found out that she was pregnant with her child. My stop came up and I pulled the string so I can request the stop. The bus came to a stop, I got off and walked two blocks over. I arrived at Rhonda's house it was the same outside since the last time I came here. I walked up the stairs to her door and rand the bell. Soon enough her butler opened the door and let me in.
"Welcome sir. May I take your jacket?" The butler asked
I nodded, took of my jacket and handed it to him. He bowed his head and took it to the closet. He then walked me over to the living room where I waited for Rhonda to appear. I looked around the house it was fancier then last time I was here.
"Hello" Rhonda said as she walked over to me with a red sweat suit on. He stomach grew bigger from the last time I saw her. I guess those pills worked.
"Hey Rhonda. What's up?" I asked
"Oh nothing. I just wanted to talk" She sat in the seat next to me. "Are you hungry?" She asked as she rubbed her stomach
My stomach decided to answer for me. She giggled and order her maid to make us sandwiches while she put on the T.V on. I yawned a bit waiting for her to speak.
"So Arnold, I have an important question to ask" Rhonda asked as she leaned herself back on the couch.
I was afraid to ask what this question was. "And what is this question?"
She smiled widely which creped me out a bit. "Can you be the godfather of little Matthew" She looked in my eyes and I felt a bit shocked.
"M- Me? Really? Wait why me?" I asked surprised
"Simple, you're really kind and even after all the bullshit I did to you, you stood by my side and helped me through this." She replied I was still in shock and please at the same time. I nodded and she hugged me.
"I also wanted to ask a favor" She looked down for that one. I knew this was going somewhere and I was on edge.
"W- What is that?" I mumbled.
"Can you kiss me?" She asked and looked at me deeply into my eyes. I jumped back and looked at her as if this was a trick.
"Are you feeling well?!" I asked as my heart raced.
"Yes. I just feel lonely lately and I always wanted to feel your lips against mine." She gave me a sudtive look and my heart raced some more.
"I- I- I uhh. Your hormones are acting lustful right now" I said getting up scratching my head in a panic.
She looked down. "O- Oh okay" The disappointment in her voice made me feel bad. I sighed a bit and knew I was going to regret this. I sat on the couch and picked her head up. I looked in her eyes.
"If I do this. This can't get out to anyone. Please" I begged as I leaned closer to her. She nodded and I hugged her close but her stomach kind of blocked me. I slowly leaned to her lips and pressed my lips against hers. I pulled away quickly and stood up. "I can't it feels wrong" I backed away quickly.
"I'm sorry" Rhonda said with a small smile "I still thank you"
My heart went back to its normal pace. I sat back down next to her and rubbed her back since it was hurting her. She rubbed her stomach a few times due to the baby kicking.
"Wait did you tell your parents about you being pregnant?" I asked her as I rubbed her shoulders
"Yes I did" Rhonda replied
"What did they say"
"They were disappointed in me but are letting me keep in since they wanted a grandchild. There making me name him Matthew yet I didn't tell Curly yet. Speaking of Curly I haven't talked to him in a while."
"I haven't seen him since the day we told him"
"Yea. I want him to be here when the child is born but I don't get an answer"
"Oh dam" I started to rub her feet surprising they were nice and clean. "I wish I could have done this with Helga" I thought out loud
"Do what?" She looked down at me.
"Oh, I didn't realize I said that out loud"
"But you did and what do you mean you wish you could have done this with Helga"
"Basically rub her back, feet just be there in general for her and my child"
Rhonda sighed and smiled a bit. She grabbed my hand and and had me rub her stomach. I felt Matthew kick my hand which made me smile. "Hey little man, don't kick Uncle Arnold like that" I said to her stomach in a playful tone. Rhonda's parents walked through the door and saw me rubbing their daughter's stomach.
"Well hello there young man" Mr. Wellington say as he looked at me. I stood up quickly to my feet.
"Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Wellington" I said bowing my head.
"Hello there Arnold. What brings you here" Mrs. Wellington had a whole bunch of bags and place them down.
"Oh uh. Rhonda asked me to come over to keep her company" I replied as I sat next to Rhonda.
"Is that so. I see that Rhonda told you her upsetting news" Mr. Wellington said as he took of his jacket and the butler took his and Mrs. Wellington's jacket.
I nodded and went along with his words. "Yes she has but I'm here to help with anything with I can" I smiled.
"Ugh did she tell you who the father was" Mrs. Wellington said as she took a seat on the one seat couch next to Rhonda.
"Mom he already knows who the father is." Rhonda said quietly
"I still find it upsetting that you got knocked up by that kid. Why not get knocked up by Arnold it would make it so much better" Mrs. Wellington shook her head in disappointment.
"Arnold already has a child. Opps" Rhonda said covering her mouth quickly and looking at me.
Mr. Wellington looked over my way and stood behind his wife. He glared at me as if I done something wrong. "Arnold you have a child?!" Her father asked as I was about to be in trouble
I looked at Rhonda and she seemed sorry that she said that. I looked back at her parents and nodded. "Y- Yes sir"
"Rhonda why are just now telling us?!" Her father yelled. Rhonda flinched
"I- I- I didn't think it was important" Rhonda lowered her voice.
"It's always important to know what's going on. Who's the mother?" Her father looked at me with a deadly look
I gulped hard and looked back at Rhonda. I sighed and looked at her father. "Helga is my baby's mother" I replied.
"Oh the tomboy. You got her pregnant?" Her mother asked calmly
I nodded once more. I pulled out my phone and looked for a picture. I showed it to her parents. Mrs. Wellington awed and Mr. Wellington just looked. "Her name is Laura Mable Pataki" I took my seat once more.
Mr. Wellington just shook his head. "Are you always there for your child?" He asked
"Yes. I am always there for my child" I said as I sat next to Rhonda
"Do you have a job?" Her mother asked
"No I do not. I'm trying to finish school first" I replied
"But how would you support your child if you have no job?" Her father asked
"My family helps out, my friends help out and so does her family helps out" I was getting bored of answering questions.
Mr. and Mrs. Wellington was impressed with my answers and left us alone after a few more questions. The maid brought over the sandwiches and we ate a few but Rhonda just stood quiet the whole time. I tried to get her to smile but it didn't work. She got up a few times to throw up and I held her hair back. She then walked me upstairs to show me the baby's room that was being made. The room was blue with baby cartoon animals on the wall. Rhonda sat in the rocking chair and rocked herself.
"I'm sorry Arnold. For the kiss and for my parents questioning you." Rhonda said so low to the point I couldn't hear her.
"Its fine I guess. You're going through a lot and as a friend I'm there when needed." I up my thumb up which made her smile a bit.
"I hope I can see Curly soon. This is his fault" Rhonda broke down in tears. I knew it was coming so I quickly hugged her. "Don't worry"
A knock on the door made me break free from her. Her butler was standing at the door. Waiting to come in. She wiped her tears and looked at him.
"What is it?" Rhonda said rudely
"I'm very sorry Rhonda but there is a gentleman who wishes to speak to you. I told him you were busy but he says that this is super important" Her butler said bowing his head.
Rhonda got up and looked at him. "Fine. I'll go see who it is. Come on Arnold" She said as we both walked out the room. We walked downstairs and walk into the living room. To both of our surprise it was Curly sitting on her couch.
"Curly?!" Rhonda said as she had to make sure it was him
"It's me babe" Curly said as he got up
"Dude where in the heck have you been?" I asked and looked at him as if I had just seen a ghost.
"I took a break away from everyone. After hearing the news of me being a father I took time to myself to rethink my life." Curly said helping Rhonda to sit down. I sat in the chair her mother was sitting in.
"I have been calling you nonstop." Rhonda said angrily
"I know. I'm sorry. Now I know how you feel Arnold" He looked at me then back at her. "So, do you know the sex of our child?"
Rhonda's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree being lit for the holidays. She started to cry a bit and grabbed her sonogram she took from the doctor the other day and handed it to him. He looked at it and saw his little man in the picture.
"So I'm guessing where having a boy" Curly asked Rhonda. Rhonda nodded happily. He hugged Rhonda and smiled. "I'm actually happy that this is happening. I got a job at a local food store to start saving up."
"That's real good" I said and Curly smiled at me.
"Arnold, thanks for everything. I would like you to be his godfather" Curly said and I felt touched.
"I bet you to it" Rhonda joked. Curly rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek.
"I'm actually touched that you two would allow me to be the godfather" I said with a tear running down my face.
"No problem. Say did you come up with any names yet?" Curly asked as he looked back at the sonogram.
"Well my parents want to name him Matthew but I was thinking Maurice instead" Rhonda looked at the picture as well.
"Why not Matthew Maurice Gammelthorpe" I replied as I looked at my phone.
They both looked at me and back at each other. Rhonda smiled and Curly gave me thumbs up. "Sounds awesome" Curly replied.
I looked at the time and realize I should go visit Laura before getting ready for school tomorrow. I got up and said my goodbye and the butler handed me my jacket. I put it on and put my bag on my back. I left her house and walked down to Helga's place. I sighed when I slowly was approaching the house. I went upstairs since I have the extra key that she gave me. I opened the front door, walk in and closed the door.
Helga was sleeping on the couch and I went over to Laura's room. She was awake and was on her stomach. I smirked and picked her up. She's gotten so big and only for a 6 month old baby. She already started blabbing an a few baby words. Rolling on to her stomach and grabbing things. She also eats a lot of baby food and already knows who I am. I placed a blanket on the floor with a few pillows on each end. I then put a toy on my end and then I placed Laura on her stomach and she started to mover her body. She began to move her legs and arms. I just now realize what she was doing. My baby was crawling and I got to see it for the first time. She was crawling to the toy and I recorded it. "That's my girl come to daddy" I said as she looked at me
Laura giggled and kicked her feet as she crawled to me. She finally reached me and I smiled. I picked her up and held her in my arms. "That's my girl." I said with a small tear in my eyes. I then heard footsteps coming closer to the room.
"Who's there" a voice said
"It's me Arnold" I replied
Helga came from around the corner and looked at me. She was in her short and her sports bra. Her hair was also messy but the cute kind of messy. I quickly turned away feeling myself get turned on from her looks. I placed Laura in her play pen and then turned around to see Helga still standing there.
"A little warning would have been nice football head" She replied as she placed her hands on her hips. God that look was turning me on more.
"I just came here to see Laura and I'll be out of your pants. I mean hair soon enough" I chuckled a bit.
"Oh really?" Helga said as she stretched her arms up. Now she was teasing me with her body. I cover my boner by pulling down my shirt a bit more. She notice what she was doing because she was laughing.
"Can you please put on some clothes" I asked breathing heavily wanting to fuck her at the moment.
"Nope. My house my rules. What's the matter are you getting a little happy down there" Helga teased by licking her lips.
I tried to think happy thoughts but it all became dirty every time she tried to tease me. I quickly walked out of the room and walked to the living room. I sat down on the couch and zipped down my pants. I felt my boner popped out of my boxers. I painted heavily trying to make it go down. Helga walked in and saw my manhood out and smirked.
I glared at her with hate. "W- W- Why?!" I said trying to catch my breath
"No reason. Were broken up so I can do what I want when I want right?" Helga said with a grin
My boner finally calmed down and I put it back in the boxer then zipped up my pants. I glared really hard at her and walked over to her. "You are really trying to test me I see" I looked in her eyes.
"Like you have the guys to fuck another girl when you have a daughter" Helga crossed her arms.
"You testing me and I may do it. Keep messing with me Helga. You'll regret it." I smirked in her face.
Helga growled a bit. "Get out"
"Aww you mad because you wanted to fuck me but I denied even with all of that teasing." I laughed and she slapped me in my face. I then pinned her to the wall and she looked at me a bit scared but excited at the same time.
"Get off of me" She mumbled
I pinned her hands above her head "No. You wanted it. You should have never acted the way you did" I replied kissing her neck. She let out a light moan and I smirked. I then heard crying coming from Laura's room but it was a panic type of cry. I moved away from Helga and ran to Laura's room with Helga following behind. I picked her up and she hurt herself in the play pen. She had a small cute and I brought out her first aid kit and treated it. I then rocked her to sleep.
"That was close" I replied as I placed her in her crib
"Thank you…" Helga replied as she looked at her sleeping child. I nodded and sighed.
"Can we talk?" I asked as I walked back to the living room. Helga followed behind. I sat on the couch with her and looked at her. We talked for about an hour on where we stand and what not. We decided that we shouldn't date right now until after high school but promised to take care of Laura together. I told her what went down at Rhonda's house except for the kiss, the back rub and the foot rub. If she knew that she would have beaten her up. We were on good terms.
Four months has passed by since Helga and I decided to break up and focus on school, take care of Laura and I found a job at the arcade. I got my driver's licenses finally and got a car. I do at times sleep over at Helga's house, the boarding house and Gerald's house. Rhonda had her baby a month. It was a healthy baby boy. Curly stepped up to be a dad and now Laura has a play date when she gets older. Speaking of Laura she's gotten so big she started walking around 9 months old and started to say momma and dada. Helga and I continued to go see Dr. Bliss at times. Phoebe and Gerald are still going strong. Prom was around the corner and I was planning on taking Helga as my date.
I went over to Gerald's house with Laura and the guys for the day while Helga went dress shopping with the girls. I let Laura watch cartoons with Timberly while we talked in the kitchen. The guys talked about their out fits for prom and what were there plans after prom. My grandparents wants to watch Laura while I go so I have no problem with that. This should be a good end of the school year and I am proud.
