At My Door
Authors Note- Though Brittany and I have already picked the gender and name of the baby-to-be that doesn't mean you guys can't voice your opinions. In a review, let me know what you think (or want) the gender and even the name of the baby to be. It's always awesome to hear what you guys think. P.S, I'm glad everyone was happy with the last chapter.
Chapter Twenty-Three: Make Him Go Away
" Scott, oh my god, you're the father" Shelby gasped.
" I am?".
She grinned, wider than she ever had before, " yes, it says right here!".
He took the paper out of her hand, reading it himself. He went into shock, then again, this was his second surprise in one day. Shelby watched his reaction, " holy shit".
Shelby laughed, " I can't believe it".
Morgan emerged from the hallway, guessing by the celebration that it was safe. " What is it?" she always knew when something different was happening, and always wanted to be informed at the same time.
Scott looked won at Shelby who was already glaring at him. " How do we tell her?" she whispered.
He stared at Morgan, who was waiting for an answer. " Any brilliant plan where she wont ask how the baby's getting here" he whispered in return. " Hey Morgan, how about we go to the House of Mouse for dinner?". (A/N- the House of Mouse is the French version of Chuckie Cheeses, but pretend it's here now).
" That's your brilliant plan?" Shelby questioned.
But Morgan had a bright grin stretched across her cheeks, darting back to her room. " It's where my parents took me to tell me they were getting a divorce, she'll get easily distracted whether the news is good or bad".
" Didn't your parents get a divorce when you were thirteen?".
" Yeah, that's why it didn't work for me".
Morgan Barringer was a mentally tough kid for her age, due to the events in her life up until the age of three. She always knew Scott was her father, Elaine didn't want her to think otherwise. She went through a phase where she'd only be comfortable if he was around. Soon enough, she formed a similar relationship with Shelby, but still had trouble adapting to strangers (aside from Daisy and Ezra). Even a baby, her own sister or brother, she could estrange herself from. But it all depended.
In the booth at the House of Mouse, Morgan sat between Scott and Shelby, who were exchanging glares.
Scott took a deep breath, " Morgan, you know how it's just you, mommy and me in the family?",
She looked at him as if he was an insane moron, which Shelby did agree with. In all fairness, he had never done this before and wasn't sure on how to approach it. " Yeah?".
" And you know how other families may have more than one.you?".
She nodded with the same expression. Shelby bit her lip to hold back from laughing.
" Well, pretty soon..".
" I think this world really is getting smaller" the three looked up to find Chris standing in front of the table, Shelby looked away.
" Chris, what are you doing here?" by the tone of Scott's voice, he didn't want Chris to be there at that exact moment.
" I was walking by and I saw Shelby's adorable face in the window".
Shelby muttered under her breath. " I'm going to go to the bathroom, Morgan, how about you go in the ball pit?".
The two girls left the table, Shelby knew Scott was following her. She turned around when reaching the door.
" Are you alright?" he asked, concerned.
" Yeah, the morning sickness hasn't kicked in just yet".
Scott lowered his voice, " I meant about Chris".
She sighed, " don't you think it's weird how he just shows up out of thin air. He's really creepy and he gives me the chills. And, we had a really weird relationship in the past and it's just...well, this night was suppose to be about Morgan, and telling her".
He automatically agreed, " you're right, I'm sorry, I'll get him to leave, I promise".
She smiled, " thanks". But Shelby knew that wouldn't be enough with Chris Bryant.
