Chapter 23
Heather was in her room, pulling her hair up, when the phone rang. Jeff reached across the bed and answered it,
"Hello?"
Rae took a deep breath,
"Hey Jeff, is Heather around?"
Jeff nodded,
"Sure Rae, hold on a second."
"Okay, thanks."
Jeff held out the phone and Heather walked over. She took the phone,
"Rae?"
Rae sighed heavily,
"Hey Heather. Uh, could you come over here, I want to talk to you."
Heather narrowed her eyes,
"Why can't you tell me on the phone?"
Rae swallowed,
"It's really important, and I don't wanna tell you over the damn phone, so bring your ass over here," she said, her voice getting louder. Heather looked at the phone confused, something was irritating Rae and she didn't know what it was. She sighed and nodded,
"Fine, don't get fuckin snippy."
"Yeah, sorry. Just, please, come over here."
Heather nodded,
"Sure. See ya in a little bit."
Rae nodded and hung up the phone. Heather hung up her phone and sighed. Jeff looked at her, confused,
"What was that about?"
Heather shrugged,
"Something's really bothering her. I need to go over there."
Jeff nodded,
"Want me to come with you?"
Heather shook her head,
"No, I think it'd be best if it was just me."
Jeff nodded and watched as Heather grabbed her coat and walked out of her room. He shook his head and started flipping through his magazine.
Rae was pacing her living room, rubbing her hands together nervously. Mark was watching her from the dining room,
"Rae, it'll be okay. Your friends aren't going to disown you or anything."
Rae nodded and looked at her father,
"I know, I'm just really..."
Rae stopped and ran off to the bathroom with her hand clapped over her mouth. Mark shook his head and sighed. Rae finished in the bathroom and came walking back out. She groaned and leaned against the wall,
"His damn demon seed..."
Mark started laughing and hugged his daughter,
"You'll be okay."
Rae sighed and looked up at her father,
"Dad, I have a question for you."
Mark nodded,
"Shoot."
Rae swallowed hard, she didn't want to get her father irritated, but she wanted to know,
"What was Rena like when she was pregnant with me?"
Mark ran his hand over his hair and turned away from his daughter. Rae watched him, her eyes following his every move as he thought. Mark swallowed hard,
"She was excited, surprisingly enough. She was so damn excited about having a kid, having a daughter."
Rae cocked a curious eyebrow,
"So, what happened?"
Mark sighed heavily and looked back at Rae,
"When you were about 3 months old, she and I got into a big fight. What it was over, I forget. All I remember about it is, I was going to leave. I was heading out the door, and she was screaming at me, then I stopped, and came back in. She slapped me a couple times, but I took you out of your crib, and I was going to leave. Ever since then, she knew you meant more to me than anything else in the world, and being the selfish person she is, she couldn't handle that."
Rae sighed and looked down at the floor,
"Why didn't you leave?"
Mark sighed and looked at his daughter,
"I figured it was best for you to have some kind of mother in your life. I was obviously wrong."
Rae sighed and hugged Mark tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and returned her strong embrace.
Heather arrived at the Calloway house, and saw that Amanda was there, as was Victoria. Heather guessed that Lita would be there as well, and there was also a car that Heather didn't recognize. She walked up to the front door and knocked on it. The door opened and Heather smiled at Mark,
"Hey Mark."
"Hi Heather, come on in."
Heather nodded and walked into the house. She looked around and saw that Lita, Amanda, Victoria, and surprisingly enough, AJ was there. Rae smiled weakly at Heather,
"Hey."
Heather nodded,
"Hey, what's going on," she asked as she sat down on the couch next to Lita. Rae swallowed and looked at Amanda. Amanda nodded slightly and then Rae drew a ragged breath. She sighed heavily,
"I need to tell you guys something, and AJ, please, don't kill me."
AJ grinned slightly and looked at Rae confused,
"Why would I? You've been super nice to me since I moved here."
Rae nodded and pinched the bridge of her nose,
"Yeah, but this might make you want to kill me."
Heather cocked a curious eyebrow at Rae,
"Rae?"
Rae sighed heavily and looked around at her friends. Mark leaned against the wall and looked over the faces of the girls, waiting to see their reactions. Rae clapped her hands together and sighed again,
"I'm pregnant, with John's kid."
Lita and Victoria both gasped. Heather and AJ both just sat there, staring at Rae. Heather's mouth curled into a grin,
"We're gonna have babies!"
Rae smirked at her friend's excitement. Rae's friends then hugged her, save AJ, and congratulated her. None of them seemed to really care that Rae was having John's baby. It didn't matter to them. Rae looked at AJ and stood up,
"Wanna talk outside?"
AJ nodded slightly, and they both walked onto the porch. Rae closed the door behind them and leaned against the side of the house,
"You okay?"
AJ shrugged,
"Yeah, I'm happy for you, but I mean it's weird. I move here, meet you guys, and you're awesome, start talking to John, and he's awesome to me, now, you're pregnant by him."
Rae nodded,
"Yeah, but if I wouldn't have been so stupid, I wouldn't be pregnant."
AJ looked at Rae and shook her head,
"You're not stupid."
"What I did was," Rae replied and looked out across the yard. She sighed,
"I knew about his rep, but I thought he wouldn't do it to me."
AJ sighed heavily and Rae looked at her,
"Just be careful with him, okay? Don't get too close to him, too soon."
AJ nodded and watched as Rae walked back inside. She sighed heavily and wrapped her arms around herself. She only hoped that John wouldn't hurt her, like he had hurt Rae, or at all. She wanted to get to know John, and felt they could have a relationship, but things weren't playing out too well, and she had only been living there for less than a month.
Author's Note: Poor AJ. :: grins :: I find it hard to believe that Rena actually cared about "me" even though I wrote it. LoL. Hope y'all liked it... REVIEW for... JOHN'S DEMON SEED! LoL!
