REGRETS
A/N: Hey so this is chap 16, my god, where the time has gone?
Don't own anything except the foetus! Oh, and thanks for the reviews! 2008ccampbell, this one is longer!
Shelby's apartment, A Quarter of an Hour Later
"So, uh who called you?" Scott asks me unsurely as he gets out of the bathroom. He looks so sexy in my purple towel!
"Your mother. She wanted to know if we had bought the pregnancy test. She seems really interested by this story." Maybe too much, if you want my opinion.
"You didn't have nauseas those last days, uh?" Do I say the truth? No. After all, it's my fault if I'm pregnant, I wasn't taking my pills since I hadn't had sex since a long time…
"Not really, I just felt a little bad yesterday before you came but no."
"I hope you're not sick. Maybe you caught my disease?" No, I know I am pregnant, I can feel it. Daisy told me once that a future mother develop a sixth sense and can feel her baby living.
"No, it's not the same symptoms." I have to buy this test. Just to be sure.
"Oh. So when are we going to buy it? Today's good?"
"If you want." I look at him as he buttons his black shirt nervously. He seems a little worried, or mad I don't know… "Scott? Are you mad at me?"
"No, I'm just…I don't know. You weren't taking pills for birth control, right?"
"No. I'm sorry. I didn't think we would make love this quick to tell you the truth…"
"You don't have to feel sorry Shel. If you're pregnant, it's not the end of the world. There are lots of solutions." What is he talking about? No he can't be!
"What? You would want me to have an abortion? How can you even think of it?" I am mad now, very mad. Maybe he's not the one after all.
"Shel, calm down, and think clearly: we don't have a lot of money and we're still at school. What future can we offer a child?" Am I having a nightmare? What a jerk!
"I hate you Scott, I hate you for what you just said! Leave!" I can't even bear his looks! I really hate him…This morning he was telling me about moving in with him and beginning a family life and now…what happened to him?
"Shel…" I won't let him even try.
"Please Scott, leave me alone." I feel his gaze on me and look up. I know he sees I'm crying. Right now I don't care. He hadn't the right to tell me those things and we both know it. I see hurt through his eyes but I don't care. He opens the door and rushes out, not even bothering closing it behind him. What am I gonna do now?
Supermarket of the Mall, Two Days Later
"I can't believe you called my mother! She has nothing to do with this!" Here we go. It's been about ten minutes Scott and I are giving a show in the supermarket of the mall. I can't believe we ran into each other there! Must be that soulmates thing!
"Oh, really? I'm pregnant with your baby Scott; so I think she has the right to know since she's the grandmother!"
"You're pregnant?" Yes jerk, I am and you better not tell me a thing about abortion.
"Yes. I am. Now please would you just leave me, I have better things to do." I turn around and walk towards the cash register. Suddenly, a hand takes my wrist causing me to drop the blackberry jam I had. My blackberry jam! That's my favourite! "What the-" He's still here! I can't believe it. People stop to watch what will happen next and the cash register stares at me mad. Hey, it's not my fault if the jam dropped on the floor, slut!
"Shel, listen to me. I just want to talk to you." Sweet voice, why is he being so gentle? And why does he have to be so cute with his puppy eyes? I can't deny the sensation of love I'm feeling inside right now.
"Okay. Look, give me a minute to buy this, and I join you." He nods smiling a little. Oh, don't think you won me back…you would be so wrong.
"Thank you Shel."
In Front of Shelby's apartment, A little While After
We didn't take once during the time we spent in his car. I kinda wanted to be in my own territory. "So, uh what did you want to talk about?" I can't even believe I accepted to let him drop me home. We're standing against his car, and the sun is dazzling me.
"You know what. I love you Shel, and I don't want to lose you." Oh, how cute!
"You know that's not enough if you don't want this child. I won't get rid of it. It's a part of me now. A part of you, too." And if I can't have you, I'll have it at least…
"I didn't mean what I said about abortion Shel. I just didn't know if you were sure you wanted it. But since you are…" Maybe we just went too fast after his break up with Tina?
"Scott, you don't have to agree if you don't want it." What the hell I'm saying! Of course you have to! You're the father!
"I know, but I do want you, and you're the only one who can give me the kids I've dreamed of. I'm sorry Shel…I guess I'm just being afraid of being like my father." He's apologizing, isn't he?
"You know you won't be like him. You're too good for that, and I'm going to help you too." I promise I will.
"So, then it's settled? We're going back together?" Oh, Scott, I just knew you would come back to me; we're so made for each other…we're soulmates, that's the only explanation.
"I love you Scott." Maybe too much…I feel I'm smiling at him, I can't help it. I can't help getting closer to him either.
"I love you too, so much." He leans on and kisses me like he had so many times, except this time he puts his hands on my stomach and rubs it softly while doing it. And it feels great, just great.
At first I was thinking of ending this story here…then I had a second thought! There's still so much I can do with this one…like the moving in of Shelby, an unexpected visit, and lots of surprises! But I'm not going to reveal you everything!
