OMG I AM SO SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED MY LAPTOPS BEEN BROKEN BUT NOW ITS FIXED! Enjoy, I had a bit of writer's block so I'd love ideas for later chapters.
...Gwen...
I stared in amazement. Almost unable to breathe. Holding the picture in my hands I traced the shape of my baby's body, a small odd-looking shape, but still. I couldn't believe this thing was inside me, growing. I rested one hand on my stomach a small smile forming on my lips. Days ago I thought this would've been the end of the world for me, but now...
I was already attached to it, I knew that. Now, every trivial possession I'd ever owned seemed unimportant. The only thing I saw important at that exact moment was this little one growing inside me, my child.
"Amazing isn't it?" Duncan said snapping me out of thought. I noticed his eyes on the picture as well. I nodded and leaned my head against his shoulder and he put his head against mine.
"My mom should be home by now." I spoke up.
"Oh good!" Terresa said from the front seat. "I'll call her when we get to the house and we can all see it." Terresa had to be the most excited parent I'd ever seen for her kid to be in this situation, as if she enjoyed the fact she'd be a grandma before 40.
"Is dad home?" Duncan asked not looking thrilled about the idea.
"Yep honey, he's home." Terresa didn't look to perky about it either.
"Great." Within minutes we were already back at Duncan's house in the livingroom. Terresa calling my mom to come over. Lawerence sat reading a book in the easy chair across the room. After a few long minutes in silence, my mom pulled in the driveway and came in the front door.
"Sooo? How'd it go?" I motioned for my mom to sit next to me.
"Take a look for yourself." I said handing her the picture as she sat beside me. My mom's eyes widened, except for the glossy look in her eyes, which she always had before the tears started coming, her reaction was pretty much the exact same as mine. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she grinned. She hugged me close and I smiled.
"I know you'll be wonderful mother honey." She whispered so low that only I could here.I gave a quick squeeze and got out of her grip.
"Lawerence, would you like to see your future grandchild?" Terresa said raising her eyebrow. Staring him down as if to say, behave or else.
He looked up from his book and hoisted himself up and walked over. Duncan tensed up as he reached towards my mom to take the photo from her hands.
I couldn't read the expression on Lawerence's stone cold face if my life depended on it. From all those years of being a cop he had perfected a "poker face" to the point where I think no one could tell what he thought. I swore I thought I saw the corners of his mouth turn up into a tiny smile, it was barely there though.
"Well?" Terresa said, shooting him another look. Lawerence's expression of nervousness now told me who really wore the pants in the house -*cough* Terresa *cough*.
"Well son,...I congradulate you."
"Wow. An actual complement! Gwen pinch me I must be -" Duncan started before I gave him an elbow to the side. I looked at him expectantly. I saw Lawerence grin at my actions out of the corner of my eye. He sighed and stood up.
"Alright sorry, thanks Dad. It means something to hear you say that." Lawerence put his hand out waiting. Duncan rolled his eyes and grinned taking his dad's hand. They shook as if they were making a truce instead of sharing a father and son moment. But then again, I guess just a simple hug between those two wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
**Hours Later (Middle of the night) **
I was lying next to Duncan in my room, he was already asleep smiling with a peaceful look on his face. I stayed awake unable to sleep.
Then all at once I heard a crying sound. Duncan remained unfased by it, man he must be a DEEP sleeper. I got up looking around trying to find the source of the shrieks and yells. I walked out if my room, the sounds getting louder as I proceeded down the hall towards the guest room. I opened the door the crys as loud as could be possible. I walked in farther and noticed that the room had changed.
The guest room usually consisted of a plain bed, dresser, and desk, and the walls were usually a horrible tan color that I'd always hated. Now the walls were a darker purple color and the furniture now consisted of what was found in a nursery.
I noticed by the window a crib with purple and hot pink bedding where the crys seemed to be coming from. I slowly edged towards it almost nervous of what I'd see. As I looked into it the crys stopped as I gasped, my dark almost black eyes locking with a pair of light blue ones.
She was just so adorable and sweet and everything in between. She had very pale skin, bright big eyes of light blue, a LOT of dark brown, almost black hair that spread a little bit around her head. Her chubby little hands reached up towards me as I reached into the crib and lifted her out. She let out a high pitched giggle, I couldn't help but laugh as well. She snuggled into me and kissed her lightly on the head.
"Are my girls okay?" I turned around to see Duncan in the doorway. I nodded.
"What do you think of her?" He said jesturing to the baby in my arms.
"Best. Mistake. Of. My. Life."
That's when I woke up. I immediately grabbed my sketchpad, that dream was one thing I didn't want to forget.
...Duncan...
I woke up the next morning and got ready for school. I rushed out the door to go and pick up Gwen. Susan opened the door.
"Morning Susan, is Gwen ready to go?"
"Yeah come on in. Gwen! Duncan's here!" Gwen came downstairs her sketchbook clutched tight in her hands.
"Love you mom." She called going out the door. I quickly followed her.
"Hey babe, what'cha draw?" She flipped open to a bookmarked page and handed me the book. "See for yourself." I looked down a the page and nearly froze. In a fully detailed sketch was a small baby. Man I'd nearly forgotten how talented Gwen was as an artist, this made anyone I drew look even more like stick figures. It took me a moment but I could now see noticable similarities of the baby and Gwen and I.
"I had a dream last night, I heard crying and when I followed it I found her."
"Her?"
"That's what it was in my dream. So now I just have this feeling..., are you okay with it if it's a girl?" She asked. "Of course, as long as it's ours."
"Are you scared?"
"I'm never scared sweetheart."
"Really? What about pregnancy...hormones." She said pausing for effect. My face dropped. Gwen laughed at the look on my face. "Hahaha! Come on lets get to school."
...Lunch Time...
The day had gone by pretty smoothly until now. Gwen and I sat at our usual lunch table with Bridgette, Marilyn, Reaper, Pixie, and Geoff, my best friend and Brigette's boyfriend. Then things turned horrible as I saw Courtney coming up to our table, and boy did she look pissed.
"What do you want?" Gwen said through her teeth.
"I know all about your little secret, whore." What! How the hell did she know!
"Wha-?"
"I was at the hospital the day you went there, I was working for extra credit, I didn't see you but I saw your names on the ultrasound appointment list!"
"What's it to you Courtney! You and Duncan broke up months ago! Get over it!" Gwen said standing up to face her.
"At least I know whenever I have kids, they won't whores and juvie-rejects." Gwen snapped. Her fist flung out and she socked Courtney hard in the face. Everyone in the cafeteria turned and looked as Courtney yelled 'bitch!'
"They started throwing punches at each other left and right, pulling each other's hair, as I tried pulling Gwen off of Courtney. Eventually the principal came up and pulled the girls apart.
"Garcia, Scotts, Carter, my office now!" She said walking towards her office.
"Okay what happened out there?"
"Courtney and I got into a fight because she insulted my unborn child." Gwen mumbled just loud enough for her to hear.
"Miss Gwendolyn, you're pregnant?" Gwen nodded.
"Well then, is this true about the fight?" I nodded.
"Courtney, I'm sorry but considering the circumstances you are suspended for the rest of the week up until next Wednesday. No making up anything you miss."
"WHAT!" Courtney stood up ticked off. The principal wrote her suspension slip out and handed it to Courtney.
"You may go."
"But, but!"
"GO Miss Garcia!" I suddenly liked Principal Murphy a whole lot more now. Reluctantly Courtney finally left.
"As for you two you are free to go."
"Mrs. Murphy, why are you treating us so well after this, why aren't you punishing us?" I said.
"Back when I was in high school my little sister was in the same predicament as you two, every day I had to watch her be tormented by students and come home crying and I was the only person besides her boyfriends who didn't shun her."
"Really?" Gwen asked sitting back in her chair.
"Yes, but you know she made the best of it, now my nephew, her son, is working in L.A. as a director of photography and is supporting him and my sister and her boyfriend, now husband, and his little sister, making over 200 thousand a year. I just wish her friends had supported her like yours do you."
"Thanks Mrs. Murphy." I said putting my arm around Gwen and we walked back to our table.
...Gwen...
I noticed as we walked back to our lunch table, Heather and Alejandro had joined us. Heather seemed a bit..out of it.
"Heather?" I sat down next to her snapping my fingers to get her attention, nothing. "What's with her?" I asked Alejandro. He pulled put a picture.
"Look." I took the photo in my hands, it was Heather's ultrasound picture. I gasped, there was two of them. No wonder Heather's bump had been a bit more noticable.
"Twins." Alejandro said. Heather broke down.
"Oh my god, Gwen what am I gonna do! My parents kicked me out when they found out I was pregnant, and how am I going to handle two!"
"It'll be okay Heather, you're among friends now." Heather sniffed a bit, a tear rolling down her cheek. She smiled.
"I've never had friends, for real at least."
"You do now."
OMG!
1.) Twins for Heather (need names boy and girl)
2.) Courtney suspended! (WIN)
3.) Duncan scared of hormones. XD
