Chapter 10
CONNIE'S P.O.V
"Adam"... I touched his hand gently, causing him to turn towards me. "I... I need to know how you... you feel about all this". I stuttered out. "I know this a lot to take in, in less than 2 days, but I really wanna know how you feel about everything. See I don't want to go through this on my own, but I don't want that to make you feel pressured into saying you'll be there". I babbled.
"Con's, if you were to say you wanted an abortion, I'd stand by you, because we both need to be 100% sure. Truthfully, when I was watching you earlier, I was thinking about all the great sides of being a dad was, and if you want this baby, I want to be as involved as you want me to be".
"So we're gonna have this baby"? I asked.
"Yeah, we're gonna have this baby". He replied.
The next hard bit, was breaking the news to everyone, but first, I was aware that I needed to make a few apologies to everyone, for causing the trouble I had yesterday. We headed straight for Julie and Guy's place, hoping that most of the ducks would be there. I wasn't aware at the time, but I later realised that I had barely let go of Adam's hand since outside the clinic and only briefly let go whilst he was driving. When we got outside Julie and Guy's building, I pulled him back gently, before leaning up on my tip toes and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"What was that for"? He asked quizzically.
"For being you". I answered simply before pulling him inside.
Before walking into the apartment, I took in a huge breath, readying myself for any reaction they might have. I kinda guessed that they knew I was pregnant because of last night, but I knew I had some explaining to do.
"Hey guys". I said as I walked in with Adam close behind, I headed to the front of the room so that I could see everyone clearly. "I know I owe you all a thousand apologies for everything just recently"... I began.
"Don't be stupid Con's, we're just happy that you're ok". Portman told me, I know your shocked, but as he had grown older, Portman had really matured.
"Well, I'm sorry anyway". I told them all.
"Have you two sorted everything out"? Charlie asked.
"Yeah, we all know you're pregnant Con's, so are you gonna keep it"? Russ asked.
"Yeah wev'e sorted everything out, and yeah we're keeping the baby". Adam told them with a huge smile crossing his face.
"REALLY"? Julie almost screamed, before running over to me and crushing me in a hug.
The whole room went into uproar, and I'm very happy to say, that they were all overjoyed at the prospect at becoming Aunt and Uncles. From that moment on, everyone fussed over me as though I was exactly 9 months pregnant, not the 2 months that I really am.
A few weeks later, I had come to terms with the fact that even though I was having Adam's child, there was no way, that there was going to an 'us'. Adam had already been out on another date, and although to his face I acted as though I was happy for him, but deep inside, my heart was in agony. So with the fact that I had to get on with my life, stuck in my head, I set about doing exactly that. I talked with Julie about it, and she agreed that I still needed to get on with my life, and as usual organised a blind date. So here I am, dressing in my most slimming outfit and applying a little light make up, as well as trying to see the good side to all this. Everything seemed to be going to plan, well that was until Adam popped round, expecting me to be staying in again.
"Hi, thought you could use some"... He stopped dead on seeing me dressed up.
"I'm sorry, I can't tonight". I felt guilty, and wanted desperately to stay with him, but there was like a little voice inside telling me that as soon as he had another date, he'd drop me like a bad habit.
"Where, where you going"? He asked, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice.
"Oh, I'm going to dinner with Gary Clow, one of Julie's friends". I answered casually.
"Well have a nice time". He exited, leaving me to continue getting ready.
Throughout dinner, my mind rarely left Adam, I was angry at myself for letting thoughts of him control me. He was getting on with his life, dating other people, so just because I was carrying his baby, didn't mean that I could'nt continue with my life. Then I realised, that my date knew nothing about my pregnancy, and although he probably wouldn't be able to tell or anything, I thought it only right to tell him before someone else did.
"Um, Gary. I think there's something you should know. It's only fair that I tell you, because I don't want to lead you on or anything".
"Ok". He eyed me suspiciously.
"I'm 2 months pregnant". I told him honestly.
"Hum, Julie didn't tell me that".
"She probably thought it best not to". I answered.
"Ok. Ok, I'm gonna leave now". He stood up and left.
Well, I suppose I've had better dates, but it was a lot less awkward now, than it would have been had we been on a few more dates before telling him. I went to the bar and asked for our bill only to find that he had in fact paid it. I began walking home, mulling over the thoughts, that another part of my life was about to change. Even if I did find a nice guy before my pregnancy started showing, who was going to say that they'd stick around once he found out, and once I did start showing, not many guys would look at me twice. Then after the baby, not many guys would want to date someone with a kid. My thoiughts worried me slightly, and I found myself slipping into depression.
When I got home, I changed into some sweats and grabbed all the junk food I could find, and settled down on the sofa for yet, another evening with the TV. I stuffed my face full of crap, before falling asleep, still sat directly in front of the TV set and didn't awake till the following morning, when Julie, Guy, Portman, Fulton, Russ, Goldberg and Averman came round.
"Looks like someone had a good night". Averman joked, pointing to the wrappers and empty ice cream tubs.
"Ice cream, chocolate, chips... What's wrong"? Julie watched as I began tidying up.
"Nothing, why should there be anything wrong"? I stood up, placing all the rubbish in the bin.
"Because, you only eat all three of those, when you're comfort eating". She pointed out. "Did the date not go well"? She really hit the nail on the head there.
"You could say that". I replied in a lighter note than I felt.
"What happened"? She said sympathetically.
"Let's just say another part of my life is officially over for a while". I told them. "I told Gary I was pregnant, and God did he run". I chuckled a bit.
"Oh Con's I'm sorry". Julie stepped closer to me.
"No, it's ok. It was bound to happen sooner or later".
The ducks hung around for a while, until my mom called and I ended up having an hour conversation with her, about well everything. She sounded relieved though when I told her that I was going to keep the baby and Adam had promised to stick around. But then again, I think she had always known that too. My only wish was that I was going to be just as good a mom as she was. After talking with her, I went downstairs to collect my mail. When I got back upstairs, I leafed through it, to find nothing else but bills. Then it hit me, how was I going to pay for everything, sure I had a job at the moment, but where was the money going to come from once I'd had the baby. The thoughts were scary, and I thought my biggest problem was being alone.
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
