Chapter 21
Hailey starting feeling better over the past few days and went back to school, and her and Mark continued to keep their little bundle of joy a secret. It had been past a month and Hailey realized she was starting to show. She got up one morning and went to look in the mirror in her bedroom. Oh god, mom is really gonna see that I'm gaining weight she thought biting her lip. She rubbed her stomach with her hand and smiled. She always wanted to have a baby, but not just this young. Oh well, at least I have Mark's support in this she smiled. She put a baggy jumper on and headed downstairs. "Hailey it's going to be warm today." Her mom said sitting down at the table drinking her coffee. "Oh, ummm is it?" Hailey asked confused. "Yes it is, why don't you put on one of those nice tank tops you have." Her mom smiled. "Oh but I'm not that hot mom." Hailey replied. "Well you will be later on, so please go change into a different top." Her mom said. Hailey sighed and went to change into a different top. Oh you can really notice my belly, she groaned. She sighed and headed downstairs. She went to the pantry and got herself a bowl of cereal. Her mom noticed that she was starting to gain a bit of weight but decided to ignore it for now.
Later that afternoon Hailey was watching T.V. She was pigging out on corn chips with chocolate yogurt. Usually she thought that this would be disgusting, but she was pregnant and this was what she was craving. Jason and her mom came in and saw her eating. "Ha Ha! Hailey you're getting fat, ewww that's gross!" Jason laughed at her seeing her munch on a chip. "So?" She mumbled. Jason ran up to his bedroom. Her mom came and sat down on the couch near her. "Hailey I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you've gained a bit of weight over the past month." Her mom said curiously. "What?" She said. "You know." Her mom said pointing to her little stomach. "Oh, maybe it must be this junk I'm eating." She giggled as she pulled her top down. "Well give me these; I think you've had enough." Her mom said grabbing the bag of chips. "No!" Hailey yelled and snatched them off her. "Hailey!" Her mom yelled at her. Hailey sighed, it's now or never she thought. "Mom…..I'm not getting fat because I'm eating all this junk." She said looking down. "What do you mean Hailey?" Her mom asked confused. "I'm getting fat cause….I'm….I'm pregnant." She said quietly. "What!" Her mom yelled out, at that moment her dad walked in the door home from work. He saw his wife with a shock look on her face. "What's wrong?" He asked walking down to her and Hailey. "Hailey's pregnant!" She yelled out. "You're what!" He yelled. Hailey groaned she knew this would happen. "I'm pregnant." She sighed. "But how, you're only16!" Her mom gasped. "It just happened mom." Hailey sighed. "Who is the father Hailey?" Her dad said, dead serious looking at her with raised eyebrows. "Is it Simon Hailey?" Her mom asked. "No, Simon and I don't like each other like that." She replied. "Well who is it? A boy from School? Hmmm?" Her dad said looking down at her with his arms crossed. "No, it's…..its Mark's." She said quietly looking away. "What? Oh Hailey!" Her mom gasped shocked. "Oh I knew it Joanne; I knew something was going on!" Kirk boomed. Hailey put her head in her hands. "I'm getting onto the school and police, he's ass is going to jail!" Kirk yelled grabbing his cell phone. "NO!" Hailey yelled jumping up. Kirk stopped what he was doing and looked at Hailey. "Excuse me?" He said. "Don't you dare do that, I love him dad, he's the father of my baby. Don't you dare!" She yelled at him. "Oh Hailey you're only 16, you don't know what love is!" Her mom yelled at her. "Mom, I'm going to be a mother in nearly 7 months so don't go saying I don't know what love is or anything!" She yelled at her. "Get out." Her mom said quietly. "What!" Hailey gasped. "Get out Hailey, get out of my house!" Her mom yelled at her. Hailey gasped shocked. "You're not my little girl I know; in fact you're not even my daughter anymore so get out!" She yelled at her. Hailey wanted to cry but she couldn't find the tears to. She turned around and ran up the stairs. She grabbed a suitcase and put some of her clothes in it. She walked back down the stairs towards the front down. She saw her dad, "Hailey I'm gonna put that bastard in jail, and you're gonna abort that baby." He said. Hailey didn't bother to answer back. She frowned at him and walked out of the door and slammed it shut. She realized she didn't have enough money for a taxi so decided to take the long walk to Mark's work instead.
