It had been about two or three months since Evie had found out that she was pregnant. And she was struggling. She still had another 6 or 7 months of being pregnant that is if the baby was born in the nine months that babies are supposed to be developing, but the way she was now made her feel that she wouldn't end up carrying to the full nine months. She was barely getting enough food, but Jay was trying his best to help her steal some extra food for her and the baby. And she really appreciated that he was there to help, but she knew that the amount of food that Jay was helping her get would still not be enough. And she was also constantly throwing it all up with her morning sickness. Which worried her as she was afraid of miscarrying due to not enough food and the baby not being able to develop.
She was also upset that Carlos had still yet to come back. She knew Carlos and she knew that he had his doubts right now, but he was a good person. She knew that he loved her as they were really good friends and she secretly liked him a little more than friends even though they had agreed that they were only friends and that them having relations was a one time thing to protect themselves from the Isle kids. She just needed him to be there for her. And she understood that he was scared, but so was she. She was only sixteen she wasn't ready to be a mother, but she was going to stick through this because this baby would be her savior. It was giving her a purpose. She already loved the baby and she wasn't even close to giving birth.
She sighed as she was just sitting in the hideout by herself and trying to think of ways to tell her mother that she was pregnant. She had still yet to tell her mom, but she was starting to show and her mother was starting to get suspicious as she was gaining more weight quickly. And as she had been acting differently and hiding out more in the hideout with Jay. As they were secretly planning and preparing for the baby.
In fact Jay was out now trying to steal as many old baby supplies as he could find especially since there was a new shipment of "supplies and food" from Auradon coming in today and they were hoping that the Auradon citizens would throw out some old baby things that they wouldn't need anymore as most of the Auradon kids were older now and didn't need baby things.
And she was hiding and trying to avoid her mom. Especially since she was skipping out on her princess lessons that her mom made her take with her as she tried to teach her how to get a prince. Evie just thought it was stupid and she honestly didn't want a prince, but she wouldn't dare to tell her mother that. Her mom would kill her if she ever found out that Evie didn't care about getting a prince as that was basically all she cared about and the main reason her mother even kept her in the first place. Her mom didn't really want a kid, but she did want a ticket into royalty and Evie was that ticket. Evie had always known that her mom even forced her to apply makeup before she was even old enough to sit up on her own. She could apply blush on her own before she could even talk.
She just sighed as she put a hand on her stomach. She was terrified about how her mother would react and she didn't want to tell her at all, but she was going to have to. Her mom knew everything when it came to women and she could always tell when someone was pregnant. Ever since Evie was little when she would go out on walks with her mom. Her mom used to point to random girls in the street and call them pregnant before the girl even knew that she was pregnant she told Evie that it was a "gift" of hers and that she knew everything about woman.
Her mom was also a gossiper, so she tended to know literally everything it was only a matter of time before her mother would be knocking on their hideout and calling her out for ruining her life and getting pregnant at sixteen. She began to cry from all of her hormones as she couldn't stop thinking about how badly her mother would react. Her mind also began to worry as she realized how screwed up her life was.
She just placed her hands on her stomach as she thought about the baby. Her poor baby was so screwed too and she hated that. Her baby was going to be born into a horrible and dangerous place with little food, nowhere to sleep, dirt and germs everywhere, and dangerous villains and kids who took joy in causing pain to others and watching them cry. She was constantly fearing for her life on this Island and now she was going to be bringing in a tiny defenseless baby. And that was if the baby even survived.
Her worryful thoughts were interrupted when she heard the sounds of a rock being thrown which was an indication that Jay was back. As only she, Jay and Carlos knew how to get into their hideout. She smiled as she began to wipe away the tears as she was glad that Jay was back. He was basically her older brother and he was always there to make her feel better especially right now when she was beginning to spiral.
Jay entered a few seconds later as he dropped a bag full of supplies onto her lap and then sat down next to her on the old couch as he smiled at her. "Look what I found. We got lucky today. People from Auradon are just throwing away all these perfectly good baby things as if they are trash. Look most of this stuff isn't even broken. Man these people are so wasteful, but hey at least now we have some supplies," Jay told the young pregnant girl with a smile as he was glad that the Auradon citizens were so wasteful that they would just throw away so many good baby supplies that were barely even broken and weren't even that dirty.
Evie just smiled as she began to look through the items. They were honestly more clean and less broken than she thought they would be. In fact a lot of the items looked like they were pretty much brand new with only a few stains on them. "Oh wow this is great. Look at all of this stuff. How did you manage to get all the good stuff?" Evie told him with a smile as she began to sort through the old baby supplies that Jay had stolen.
Jay just smiled at her. "It's because I'm the best thief on this Isle. No one else can stand a chance against me. So what were you doing here while I was gone?" Jay asked his friend as he noticed how she looked sad and had dried up tears on her checks.
"Oh you know just sat here. Trying to avoid my mother. She is going to kill me when she finds out about the baby. And I'm still so scared about being a mom. And I'm so worried that I'm going to lose the baby. I'm barely able to eat enough and with all the morning sickness. Plus I keep getting uncomfortable stomach pains and I don't know if that is normal or not. And it's not like I can go to a doctor to tell me if it is or not. I hate living here so badly. I just wish that my mother wasn't evil and I could be living in Auradon right now instead of being pregnant with a baby at sixteen in a disgusting and dangerous Isle with barely any food and baby supplies that are not new and might be a health risk," Evie told her older brother as she began to cry and get emotional from all of her pregnancy hormones and mood swings.
Jay just looked at his sister in sadness and anger as he watched her completely pour out all of her stress and concerns. He was sad that she was feeling this and he was angry that she was forced to go through this. They were just kids they didn't deserve to grow up on this dangerous Isle. They did nothing wrong and Evie was one of the most kind and good hearted person that he had ever met. She didn't deserve this.
He just pulled his little sister into a tight hug as he tried to make her feel better. "Hey it's okay. I'm sure that the baby will be fine. Just don't stress okay. Stress isn't good for the baby. And I know that you don't deserve to live here, but we will make the most of it. Don't worry about your mom. I'm going to protect you. She won't hurt you or the baby," Jay told her as he continued to try and calm her as he knew stress wasn't the best for someone who was pregnant.
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that," The two teens both froze in fear and shock as they turned to see none other than The Evil Queen herself standing in their secret hideout looking furious.
