Life Next To The Swansons
This is a really short chapter but it needed to be out there.
Enjoy :)
Same Day, Sunday
Jesse's POV
I stood in front of Beca's door, with my hand ready to knock but I can't bring myself to knock "Okay Jesse, be a man. But she's frightening when she's angry. Jesse shut up! Who the hell's the man in this relationship? Pull yourself together. But how's she going to react? You're the motherfucker that knocked her up so just knock on the damn door!" I knocked on the door after having a mental argument with myself, I stuff my hands in my pockets of my hoodie and shift my weight nervously, from foot to foot as I waited for someone to answer, before I knew it the door swung open to reveal Beca
"Hey" she sounded happy to see me
"Hey…..um can I talk to you for a second, please?" I asked her, nervously, pointing behind me indicating that nobody else was allowed to hear, she looked confused
"Um…..okay.." she replied, confused, she closed the door and I grabbed her hand dragging her around the side of the house, she had a worried look on her face, I placed my hands on her forearms
"Okay I'm just gonna come out and say it" I shut my eyes tight and took a deep breath "Are you pregnant?!" I blurted out, oh shit, her jaw dropped
"How did you know?" she said, shit! She is pregnant, what do I do? I'm starting to freak out
"It's true?" I asked in disbelief, his expression changed to anger and she slapped me across the face
"No! You fucking idiot what makes you think that?" she asked almost yelling
"Well first of all, ow!" I said rubbing the side of my face, she crossed her arms and looked at me expectantly
"Well here's the thing…I noticed that your period's late and-"I started but she cut if off
"It's not late" she said
"W-what?" I asked
"My period's not late, I'm due over the next couple of days" she explained
"Wait…then what about last month?" I asked pointing my thumb behind me
"I didn't feel it was necessary to tell you that my period was EARLY" she explained leaning forward, I looked at my shoes
"Maybe if you did then I wouldn't think you were pregnant" I shot back
"Can we not fight over when my period's due and when it's not? That can't be the only reason you thought I was pregnant" she said unfolding her arms
"You were sick" I shot out
"Yeah, last week, once" she said
"Then how do you explain the positive pregnancy test that your dad was showing you, huh?" I asked accusingly
"That's Jessica's….she's pregnant" she lowered her voice
"Jessica's pregnant?" I said quietly in disbelief, she nodded
"So you're not…."
"Pregnant….im not pregnant" she finished off my sentence for me, I wiped my brow
"Thank god, don't say things like that"
"Like what?" she asked obliviously
"Like saying you were pregnant when you weren't really" I pulled her in for a hug
"Jesse…?" she asked quietly, her voice muffled by my hoodie, I hummed in response
"Would you really go crazy if I was actually pregnant? Cause Adam kept his shit together, apart from breaking his phone" she asked
"I'd be scared but I wouldn't go crazy at you" I assured.
The Next Day
Break at School
Beca's POV
Stacie and I sat at a table together at break and just talked
"I heard about what happened" she said quietly
"What happened?" I asked innocently, taking a sip of my water
"Jesse…." She trailed off
"Jesse happened?" I asked, tilting me head slightly out of confusion
"He you know….knocked you up" she whispered
"Why does everyone think I'm fucking pregnant? I'm not pregnant!" I whisper-yelled
"That's what Jesse told me" she said helplessly
"That son of a bitch!" I stood up from the table and stormed out of the cafeteria, I made my way through the almost-empty hallways when I stopped in my tracks when I saw Jesse and Donald standing at my locker
"Right that motherfucker's gonna get it" I cursed under my breath and stormed up towards him, as he came in to arm distance I slapped him across the face
"Why are you telling everyone that you think I'm pregnant?" I asked angrily as he held his face in his hands
"You're pregnant?" Donald asked, I turned and slapped him across the face, making his glasses fly off his face
"No!" I almost yell
"Thanks Beca, really appreciate it, now I can't see shit" Donald said, reaching down to get his glasses, I rolled my eyes and turned back to Jesse
"Would you calm down?" he asked, I raised my eyebrows and opened my mouth slightly
"Calm down? Calm do-if you don't stop telling people I'm pregnant, there will be balls in this locker for a different reason and you may as well change your name from J-E-S-S-E to J-E-S-S-I-E" I pointed and accusing finger and he winced at what I said
"Beca let me explain, I texted Stacie before I talked to you, that's why she still thought you were pregnant….stop jumping to conclusions"
"Me jumping to conclusions? You can talk…..you thought my period was late so you thought I was pregnant?" I asked
"Beca please just….calm down" he said and pulled me in for a hug
"Maybe I am over-reacting just a bit"
"Just a bit?" he asked
"Don't push it!" I warned.
Later on, After School
Beca's POV
I was in my room, on my bed with Jesse just cuddling with him….okay I may be a little bit of a cuddler….but only to Jesse.
"You excited for prom?" he asked quietly, I groaned
"Not entirely, Stacie picked out my dress…" I sighed
"You're saying it's not black?" he asked
"I'm not saying anything, that's for me to know and for you to find out" I smirked, he leaned closer and kissed me, I deepened the kiss and tangled my tongue around his, he groaned in my mouth and I smiled into the kiss
"Wait…" he said, pulling back, I frowned and groaned
"Jesse…." I whined
"If you didn't take that test how can we be entirely sure you're not pregnant" he was talking like he had an idea
"Can we just drop it, please?" I asked, getting frustrated
"What if you are pregnant?" he sighed
"Do you want me to be pregnant or something?" I asked propping myself up on my elbow
"No, I'm just worried Bec"
"You want me to take a test, I'll take a fucking test….just to prove you wrong" I said, sitting up and getting off the bed
"Where are you going?" he asked, confused
"To take a test….and you're coming with me"
"To watch you pee?" he asked with a disgusted look on his face
"Don't be a 5 year old" I told him, holding out my hand, he took it and he stood up "besides you've seen it all before anyway" I added, I dragged him in the bathroom and locked the door, I started raking through the medicine cabinet
"You keep pregnancy tests in your bathroom?" he asked as he took a seat on the floor
"Well I had Jessica coming screaming at me yesterday and she left them" I explained it like it was obvious, I successfully pulled out the box and took one out
"You do know what you're doing right?" he raised an eyebrow
"Like I said to Adam, you pee on a stick its idiot proof" I felt like I was talking to Adam, I walked over to the toilet and pulled down my jeans and underwear and sat on the toilet.
"Well this is a fucking fail" I said still trying to pee on the stick
"How?" Jesse asked trying to stifle a laugh
"I don't think this test is gonna work, I peed mostly on my hand" I explained and Jesse screwed up his face
"Gross…" he said, once I had finished I put the test next to the sink and instantly washed my hands, as I waited I sat down beside Jesse and he put his arms around me.
Once the waiting time was over we both looked at each other
"Who's gonna check?" we both asked in unison
"You check, please?" I asked, sticking my bottom lip out, he shimmed over to the sink and grabbed the test off of it and looked at it.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, blame Rachel...not me ;)
