A Beautiful Mess
Chapter 51
It's been a month since Gabi had told Gustavo and Griffin about her pregnancy. A month since Gustavo told her to choose in between her job or pregnancy. A month since Griffin told her she didn't have to make that choice. A month since Griffin had Gustavo give her a hundred dollars. A month since the stupid flyers showed up in her apartment at the Palm Woods saying she was missing.
Its also been three months since the most traumatic thing she has been through had happened. Which made her three months weeks pregnant. And Seven weeks since she came to LA. And seven weeks since she met Kendall. And six weeks since she started having feelings for him that confused her so much.
There had been no signs of Justin at all. Nothing since the flyers. Gabi felt a little better about that. Kendall had finally stopped camping out on her sofa in her living room. But they still hung out a lot at the Palm Woods.
She wrote a song about that. Called Right Here. Kendall was amazing to her during this whole thing. He did really like her and she knew that. She really liked him. but that also scared her so much right now. She had only been in one relationship before, well, if you called what she had with Justin a relationship. But still, she was scared about falling for someone. She did not want anything that happened in her past to come back when she was around Kendall. That already happened at the airport and that didn't end well. She was doing her best to fight off her feelings for him, and so far it was sort of working, but she didn't know how long she could keep that up. the only thing she had been good at hiding was all the bruises Justin gave her.
Gabi walks down the hallway of her apartment grabbing her purse off of her sofa and heading towards the door.
"I smiled as you softly sang me to sleep, when I woke from a bad dream you hushed and held me, promised there was nothing to fear, because you were right there," Gabi whispers to herself as she walks towards her front door.
Once she gets there she opens it to see Kendall on the other side.
"wow, give someone a heart attack, would you?" Gabi says sarcastically as she sees him.
"haha," Kendall says sarcastically back. "I was just about to knock when you opened the door, and I was wondering if you were busy before going to the studio today? Maybe we could catch a movie or something?"
"I actually am," Gabi answers him. she looks at him nervously. "I have my first doctors appointment and ultrasound, I will get to see Hailie Jade for the first time and I am kind of freaking out,"
"that's today?" Kendall asks her.
"yeah, since I am so thin, I am getting a small baby bump already but, seeing her is different, its gonna be amazing, scary, and exciting all at the same time," Gabi answers him awkwardly. "actually, I need to be at the doctor in fifteen minutes, it's not to far from the Palm Woods, only a ten minute drive, so I kind of need to get going,"
she walks out of the door and closes it behind her before locking it.
"I will see you a little bit later today," she says.
she turns to start to walk down the hallway when Kendall grabs her wrist to turn her around.
"hey, I don't really know how to ask you this," Kendall says "but, a while back I said that I would be here for you during this pregnancy…"
"yeah, you can come," Gabi says knowing what he is asking. "I was kinda hoping you would ask. I really do not want to go in there alone, but if you are coming, we need to get going,"
ten minutes later, Gabi and Kendall are sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office. Gabi just sits there nervous and notices that some older people are staring at her because she is a teenager and here which meant to a lot of people that she was 'irresponsible,' or a 'slut,' she couldn't help but look down and keep twisting her peace sign ring around on her right pinkie. But Kendall just sat there calmly.
"how can you act so calm?" Gabi whispers to him without looking up "people are staring, they think are two irresponsible teenagers,"
Gabi glances up to the lady at the front desk who is in her mid fifties and is heavy set with short blonde crazy hair and has her finger nails painted a ridicules shade a neon pink. She is staring at Gabi with her pale blue eyes.
"I have learned to not care what people think," Kendall whispers back simply. "for all I care, they can think I am a gang banger who just gunned down the pope,"
Gabi looks up at him.
"the pope, seriously?" she asks him.
"hey, some people like him, some people don't," Kendall replies "I bet you somewhere in the world, there is a gangster who is just planning on gunning him down in front of a lot of people,"
"ok, you find that one gangster person," Gabi replies, "because if a gangster was really planning on gunning down the pope, I doubt he would tell you,"
"hey, it may be a shock to you, but some people just so happen to find me very charming," Kendall replies.
"and a gangster would just think that, see you and tell you their plan to gun down the pope?" Gabi asks him "I honestly don't think so,"
"hey, you never know, the most random people talk to me sometimes," Kendall replies.
Gabi quickly looks down again as a person walks by the waiting room and glances at her.
"seriously, just blow them off," Kendall tells her. "don't care what they think,"
"that's easy for you to say, you aren't the pregnant teenager here," Gabi replies still nervous "they aren't thinking you are a slut who was stupid, they just see you as a teenage guy who was stupid,"
"and that is somehow better?" Kendall asks her.
Before Gabi can answer that, a nurse walks out of the hallway and into the waiting room holding a clipboard.
"Gabriella McCoy," she says.
Gabi takes a deep breath.
"you ready to see your baby?" Kendall asks her.
