A Dream Come True, Not!
Chapter thirteen:- The Big News and Regrets
To everybody guessing about the proposal- no... that was my first idea but I changed it. That proposal comes in later... at least I think it will.
Jimmy and Cindy drove into Libby's driveway and knocked on the door. Sheen opened the door and smiled at Jimmy who smiled back at him. Cindy caught this and looked at them confused.
"What's going on that I missed?" She asked. They just laughed a little. "Excuse me? What's so funny?"
"When you were talking to your dad, Sheen called and I know what this news is." Jimmy explained. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously. She wasn't sure what was going on but she was going to find out. They all walked into Libby's living room and sat down. Libby came running in with a big smile on her face.
"Okay I just found out that Sheen already spilled the news to Jimmy over the phone but you still don't know girl!" She yelled happily. "Go on guess! Guess why I'm so happy!" She yelled at her best friend while holding Sheen's hand.
"Oh my god! Are you two engaged?" Cindy asked getting excited herself. Libby shook her head still smiled. "Ummm..." Cindy's thoughts were inturupted when Libby blurted it out.
"I'm pregnant!" Libby shouted.
"Oh my god!" Cindy squealed then got up to hug her. They continued to sqeal as the guys sat back and laughed. "Sheen is the father, right?" Cindy joked around. They all laughed. "I can't believe you're going to be a mother." She sighed.
"I know." Libby said sitting back down. "I'm so lucky."
"You ready to be a father Sheen?" Jimmy asked. Sheen had a shocked look on his face. He realized Libby was pregnant but the thought never really accured to him that he was going to be a father, until now that is.
"I.. I-I'm going to be a father?" He asked himself. "I can't raise I child! I'm still a child!" He yelled.
"I have no comment on that." Cindy said looking down. Jimmy lightly elbowed her saying something like 'now's not the time'. "I mean... you'll do fine..."
"I had plans! I mean I wanted to leave this town! Now... Now I can't..." Sheen starting freaking out and yelling parts of sentences until he walked out the door.
"Sheen! Wait!" Libby yelled after him. She looked down at the ground.
"Libby relax." Jimmy said as Cindy went over to comfort her. "Almost every guy reacts this way with the first kid."
"Would you act this way?" Cindy asked.
"Probably not that's why I said almost." He responded. "He'll come to his senses soon enough. You can count on it." He said going over to comfort Libby as well. "Who else have you told?"
"Umm... Carl knows, a few of my friends, and our parents."
"So by tomorrow the entire town will know?" Cindy said. Everyone in this town was a gossip. Word would get around very quickly. "I would have told you sooner but I wanted to tell you in person." She said to Cindy. Cindy nodded and hugged her.
"We have to get going but don't worry. Sheen will come around." Cindy said before Jimmy and she left.
Libby went up to her room and just stared in the mirror. Part of her was happy but the other was scared to death.
"Am I really ready to be a mother?" She asked herself then sighed.
Jimmy and Cindy went over to Sheen's to talk to him. They both knew almost any man would come around but with Sheen, you never know for sure. They didn't even bother to knock, they just went in and into his room. They found him on his bed hugging his knees, mumbling something.
"Hey buddy." Jimmy said then sat down beside him. Cindy looked around and looked digusted at his messy room then forced herself to focus. She stepped around piles of things then went over to his bed and sat down too. "You know this isn't going to be as hard as you think."
"I'm going to be a father." Sheen said. "A father..." He repeated.
"Yeah you're going to be a father." Cindy said. "You're going to have a child who you can spoil, who you can love! That's the greatest gift of all!" She said.
"But what if I'm not a good father?"
"Sheen, you know what I think of you right?" She asked and he nodded. "Even I think you'll make a good father. That's saying something. You're going to have your own son or daughter to love. You're going to be entertaining and your child is going to love you." That brightened Sheen up a little. "You'll be fine. This is a blessing not a curse."
"Maybe you guys are right. Maybe I can do this. I'll be the best Ultra Dad ever!"
"Okay don't get carried away now." Jimmy said. They all laughed a bit. "We have to leave but are you okay now?" Sheen nodded now feeling excited about having his own kid.
A few hours later, Cindy was in her room listening to music when the phone rang.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Am I ready to be a mother?" Libby asked her.
"I just convinced Sheen now I have to convice you two!" Cindy whined. "You'll be a great mother."
"Yeah but my plan was to go to college and get an education. I can't do that with a baby!"
"Have your baby, raise it for a while then deside if you want to go to college or not. I heard Nick's starting a band. Try to get the job as manager sinse you like music and you could make money off of that until you find a permanent job or Sheen gets one to support you guys or something." Cindy suggested. This made Libby feel safer.
"It sounds like you'd be good at this." They both laughed.
"Hey I had to deal with my mother and a marrige. I think I'll wait for the kid thing." They laughed again.
"Thanks Cindy... I don't know what I'd do with out you."
"Neither do I." She smiled. "I think I'm going to go to bed soon. I'm really tired for some reason."
"Yeah. There's been a lot going on." Libby agreed. "Hey have you talked to your mom?"
"No, I keep avoiding her. She keeps trying to talk to me."
"You know you need to talk to her." Libby said trying not to upset Cindy.
"I know but that's going to be one hell of a conversation." Cindy sighed.
Okay I don't know exactly how far I'm going to go with this story but I know I want to have Libby give birth and one more thing... which I won't say b/c it might change. Oh and also I have the perfect song to fit how Sheen feels which will come in later in the story.
