CHAPTER 4
Scott went upstairs with a grin on his face. He walked into the bedroom and looked at Shelby with a somber look on his face. He lowered his head and said, "You'd better pack your bags because he said that you have to leave."
Shelby was tough and kept her composer. "I knew you were living in a dream world Scott." She walked over and grabbed her suitcase. Scott stopped her and said "Shelby I'm kidding I won." She looked up at him in confusion. "What do you mean you won?"
"I mean he broke down and is catering to my demands. Do you believe it? I actually won the bet."
She reached over and grabbed a pillow off the bed and started pounding him with it. "How could you do that to me. You had me so scared. You can be a real bastard sometimes." She continued pounding until Scott grabbed another pillow and the two proceeded to have a fun filled pillow fight until the pillows both broke open and feathers started flying all over the room. They were laughing and having a good time until they both just fell on the bed with exhaustion.
They both just quietly laid on the bed while they tried to get their breathing back to normal. Scott rolled over and looked at her. He gently pulled a couple of feathers that were caught in her hair. "It's going to work Shelby. I'm going to take care of you like I promised. There are a couple of conditions though."
She rolled her eyes, "I knew it was to good to be true. So what are the conditions?"
"We both have to continue to go to school and get good grades. No sharing a room, which is his way of saying no sex. But of course what he doesn't know won't hurt him. You need to help out with some of the chores around here and we can't go to the same school. Any question?"
"Yeah, so when can we have sex?"
"In the middle of the night and you hear heavy snoring, then it's safe."
She smiled. "Oh goody, It'll be like having Peter in our dorm rooms."
The next week was a busy week with getting everyone settled into the right schools. Scott was given Elaine's old car to drive. Shelby would drive Scott to his School Westfield High and then she would go to the alternative school Mountain View. Since Scott had to stay after for football practice, she would take the car and then pick him up after practice. A lot of times Shelby would get to Westfield High a little early and just sit and watch Scott practice. She couldn't stand the fact that there always seemed to be little groupies hanging around watching the guys like dogs in heat. She would every now and then hear Scott's name mentioned and the girls would giggle and point. Shelby just rolled her eyes and shook her head because it reminded her of the good old days when Juliet was crushing on Scott.
On the ride home Shelby seemed a little quiet. Scott looked over to her and said, "Is everything ok? You look like something is bothering you."
"No I'm fine. I was just thinking of some things."
"Like what kind of things?"
"Scott does anyone at your school know about me or am I a hidden secret?"
"I'm not ashamed of you if that is what you are asking. I haven't gone around and advertised that I have a pregnant girlfriend either. It's just that the subject just has never come up why is there a problem?"
"No I just seem to notice that you have a lot of girls hanging around the football field with their tongues hanging out."
Scott laughed and hoped he didn't set her off. Shelby seemed very moody lately because of the hormonal changes. "Shelby I'm not the only guy out there. The field is covered with guys in uniforms. You have nothing to worry about. I have no reason to look elsewhere because I have you." He reached over and gave her a quick kiss.
This helped pacify her for awhile. "I have a doctors appointment tomorrow do you want to come?"
"Sure what time?"
"1:30 in the afternoon"
"I'll have to cut out 7th period early and I might miss the beginning of football practice."
She got a little sharp with her tone; "It's up to you. You don't have to."
Scott realized that this meant something to her so he decided that he'd better go. "Come by the school and get me. I'll be ready."
This brought a smile to her face and she leaned over and kissed him.
The following day Shelby left her school to go pick up Scott so they could go to the doctor's office. Scott was sitting in his 7th period class when he remembered that he had to go meet Shelby. He got up and told the teacher that he needed to leave for an appointment. The teacher asked him if he had a note to give the office for early dismissal but he said no. The teacher told him that unless a parent came in to check him out than he couldn't be dismissed. Scott sat there in class because his teacher wouldn't let him go. He became more anxious and more anxious as the time ticked on. He knew that Shelby would never forgive him if he didn't show up so he finally got up the courage to get up and bolt out of the room. He could hear his teacher yelling behind him.
He ran out into the parking lot just as Shelby was starting to leave. "Cutting it a little close there aren't we Scott?"
"Shit Shelby just drive before the whole faculty comes running after me. I'll probably get detention tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if they call my dad."
Shelby just started laughing, "The big getaway. Look at the bright side. I don't think they'll put you on shuns."
When they were at the doctor's office they took Shelby in and made Scott stay out in the waiting room because he was not her husband. He felt out of place because he sat out there with all these pregnant women. Some had other kids with them but he was the only male out there. It seemed like he was on display because he could feel them burning a whole in him with there stares. He wanted to just get up and run out.
Shelby got in the examining room and told the doctor that she really wanted Scott to be with her. He was the father of the baby and even though they weren't married yet she felt he still had the same rights. The doctor asked if they were going to get married and she told her yes when they turn 18. The Dr. said that she would be right back and left Shelby alone for a bit.
A woman Dr. named Dr. Cartwright came out and asked Scott to come back to her office. Scott slowly got up and followed her back into her office being glad to be out of the room where he was put on display. She sat him down in front of her desk and looked at him. "You know it takes a lot of guts for a boy of your age to stick by a girl that he impregnated. It even takes more courage for him to actually go with that girl to the doctor's office. Most guys your age high tail it the other way when this happens. You must really love her."
"I do. Shelby means the world to me and I could never abandon her now. That's my child too that she is carrying. I want us to be a family. I want to give her the normal kind of family that she never had growing up."
"Well you won me over. I normally don't allow this but you've convinced me that you are the real deal. Shelby says she wants you to coach her through this delivery. Are you up for that?"
"Yeah I want to be in there with her."
"Ok, I'll let you come on in to the examining room and then I'll talk with both of you after."
Scott followed Dr. Cartwright in to the room where Shelby was. "Ok Shelby why don't you get up on the table and let's see what we can hear." Dr. Cartwright noticed how Scott helped Shelby up on the table. Most husbands weren't even that considerate. She pulled up Shelby's shirt a little to expose her stomach which was just starting to barely swell. She put the clear jelly lotion on that they use to help them hear the baby's heart beat. She moved the instrument around and around until she was able to hear the fast beating sound of a little heart. Dr. Cartwright than turned up the volume so the sound was magnified.
Shelby, "Oh my gosh is that it?"
Dr. Cartwright, "Yep that's a nice strong heart beat."
Scott just stood in awe and disbelief. Dr. Cartwright asked, "So what do you think dad?"
Scott, "It's amazing, you don't think it 's real until you actually hear the heart beating. It's so fast. Is that normal?"
"Yes baby's heart beats are a lot faster than grown-ups. So you actually want to help with the delivery?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss it."
"Ok you both need to take some pre-child birth class's. It will teach you everything you need to know in order to prepare yourselves for the delivery. You still have some time to go but don't wait until that last minute. Ask the receptionist for a schedule they offer at the hospital. I'll see you next month and make sure that you take the prenatal vitamins."
The Dr. left them in the room together so she could go visit another patient.
Shelby looked over at Scott "It's real isn't it." He came and gave her a big hug "Yeah, I all of a sudden feel something more than I've never felt before."
"Well just try and hang on to that feeling because you probably will loose it once we get back out into the real world again."
"Yeah I'll probably loose it as soon as I get home and my dad yells at me for cutting class. Shit practice. You've got to get me back to football practice. My coach is probably going to make me do 10 extra laps for being late."
Shelby smiled at how fast the special moment was gone. "Welcome back to the real world Scott."
Scott went upstairs with a grin on his face. He walked into the bedroom and looked at Shelby with a somber look on his face. He lowered his head and said, "You'd better pack your bags because he said that you have to leave."
Shelby was tough and kept her composer. "I knew you were living in a dream world Scott." She walked over and grabbed her suitcase. Scott stopped her and said "Shelby I'm kidding I won." She looked up at him in confusion. "What do you mean you won?"
