Sky flushed her vomit down the toilet, washed her hands, and walked out of the bathroom and made eye contact with Ana, who was in the the kitchen.
"You still get morning sickness. Aren't you like 12 weeks now?" Ana asked
"Um, I'm about 14 weeks now. But it's not as frequent as it was in the beginning. I'm glad the morning sickness will be over soon, because it's really been an inconvenience" Sky answered, and Ana nodded. It was obvious Ana was holding back everything she wanted to say because of Sky blowing up at her the other day. "Look, I'm sorry I blew up at you the other day. I appreciate that you care so much, but I was so overwhelmed that it was all too much" Sky apologized
"It's okay, I know I can be a bit intense. I just hope everything is okay with you" Ana says. Sky takes a seat by the counter table.
"I'd be lying if I said everything is okay. I mean everything with the baby is okay, but as far as my life is concerned. It's an absolute shit show" Sky admits to Ana.
"Try me. I'm a pretty good listener" Ana said
"I've gotten myself into a situation. I've been hanging out with Rodney, and he wants us to be exclusive. Problem is I haven't told him that I'm pregnant, or that I regularly hook up with my baby daddy" Sky says bluntly
"Yikes. Well how do you feel about him?" Ana asked
"Honestly? I really enjoy his company, and how he's able to make me forget that I'm expecting" Sky answered
"I meant what are your feelings towards him?" Ana rephrased
"I'm sexually attracted to him, if that's what your asking" Sky answered
"No, I meant do you have feelings for him?" Ana rephrased once again.
"To answer that I need more time with him. We've only been out a couple of times, that's not enough for me to want to be in a committed relationship" Sky says.
"Maybe if you tell him your secret, you'll be able to figure it out" Ana replies
"I don't want to tell him though, the whole point of him was to make me forget everything. But if I let him into my life as my boyfriend, like he wants, he'll be another person I'll have to care about, and another opinion into my situation." Sky says
"You really don't have time on your side, soon enough your belly will tell Rodney everything he needs to know" Ana said, and Sky sighed frustrated. "Unless there's another reason, you don't want to be with Rodney" Ana suggests
"What?" Sky says lost, as what she could be referring to
"Maybe you have feelings for Junior, and that's why you don't think you're ready for a relationship with Rodney" Ana smirks, and Sky starts to laugh.
"I don't have those type of feelings for Junior. I mean he's one of my best friends, and I care for him. But to say I have feelings for him is dragging it" Sky responded
"Okay, whatever you say" Ana said obviously not believing her
"I'm serious, I really don't have feelings for him" Sky said frustrated, Jazz walked into the kitchen at the moment.
"Have feelings for who?" Jazz asked as she headed to the fridge.
"Sky claims she has no feelings for Junior" Ana explained.
"Oh, she definitely has feelings for him" Jazz stated with no hesitation, Sky sighed annoyed. Jazz grabbed her juice, closed the fridge, and walked towards Ana and Sky. "Look, you and I are Tauruses. Once we fall for someone, that's the only person we see." Jazz says
"Which would explain why you feel like you ain't ready for a relationship with Rodney" Ana referred back to what Sky told her. Jazz nods her head in agreement.
"I think it's normal for me to question a possible relationship with Rodney, especially since I'm lying to him, and on top of that we've only been out a couple of times" Sky defends
"But don't you two text almost everyday, obviously that was enough time for Rodney" Jazz says
"You know how you feel, you're just denying it" Ana states
"You know what I don't have the time for this" Sky rolled her eyes and got up to leave the kitchen, When Jazz said under breath. "What a dilemma, to have two guys that want you, yet you still have time to complain" then taking a sip of her juice.
"Do you have something you want to get off your chest?" Sky says walking back to the kitchen, totally feeling the huge shade from Jazz, and this was not new. Jazz had been making snide comments about Sky ever since they got the news that Sky would be red-shirting this season.
"No, I'm good" Jazz says
"No go ahead and say it, because I'm tired of your attitude" Sky exclaimed
"You're tired of my attitude? I'm tired of your choices. This was going to be the year of the Olympic trials, and our chance to make it into the Olympics. But you had to go mess that all up by getting knocked up. I have a boyfriend, and I am still careful, but I see you're too busy playing games to be careful. Instead of trying to figure out your new situation, you went and found another distraction. I can't believe you risked your career for some boy you barely even know. You should've kept your eyes on the dream. OUR DREAM" Jazz went off.
"And you want to know how I lost sight of "the dream"? Because I hurt my leg, and this summer when I needed you the most, you weren't there!" Sky snapped back
"Don't you dare blame me! I wasn't even going to go! You told me to go!" Jazz defends
"I told you to go represent at the finals, but I ain't tell you to abandon me for the entire summer! The only person who was there for me was Junior. He came to my rehab appointments, and helped me with the exercises. These days he's the one person who understands me. He's not just some boy to me, he's is to me what you used to be to me. My best friend" Jazz rolls her eyes. "I think it's so rich that you are coming at me for not being focused on "the dream", but you spend all of your time at Doug's, you aren't focused on track either. Even though it's pre-season didn't mean you could start slacking and showing up late to practices. Your times are trash, even I could beat you pregnant and all" Sky says, and Jazz laughs.
"I'm sorry if I find it laughable that you think you could beat me. Maybe if waddling were one of the events, you'd probably have me beat. Too bad they don't make events that accommodate knocked up athletes" Jazz sneered, and Sky glared at her for mocking that she will be waddling eventually, Sky was seeing red.
"You talk about the Olympic trials, but at the rate you're going I doubt they'll even let your lazy ASS try-out." Sky scoffed fed up, and Jazz gasped "Yeah I said ass, because you've been looking a little plumper lately. If I didn't know any better I would think you were the one pregnant not me" Sky smirked referencing the fact that she hasn't gained any baby weight yet, but Jazz gained weight over the summer. Jazz step so close to Sky their chests were almost touching. Ana was very uncomfortable with the tension so tight, you couldn't cut it with a knife, but she knew better than to intervene. She lowkey hasn't recovered from the last time Sky lashed at her.
"At least under these clothes I look like a woman with beautiful curves, and not a 12 year old boy who has yet to reach puberty" Jazz spat, this time Sky gasped. "But hey, don't worry this pregnancy will give you all the curves you need. At least something good come out of your distractions" Jazz seethes
"You talk about my distractions, what about yours? Doug is a huge distraction to you. Whenever he calls, you go running. No matter if you have something important. It's like you don't have balls to say or do anything for yourself" Sky spat, Zoey slowly walked into the kitchen, seeing the battle that was happening between the twins.
"You're such a bitch!" Jazz growled
"At least I ain't nobody's little bitch" Sky claps-back, Jazz was about to step closer to Sky, when Zoey physically puts herself between the two of them.
"Woah, woah, woah what is going on between you two?" Zoey asks while still being the barrier between them.
"You think it's okay to be a bitch, just because you think you're "keeping it real". But in reality you are just rude and disrespectful" Jazz stalked off up the stairs to her room, slamming the door behind her. Sky rolled her eyes and left the house. Confused, Zoey looked back at Ana for answers.
"Why didn't you intervene?" Zoey asked
"Look I am not going to intervene in any verbal fights with the Forster sisters. Sky hasn't teared into every insecurity you have, and I didn't want a second round of it" Ana defended
"Yeah, and I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that" Zoey says
"You only caught the ending of the this fight, they just brutally disrespected each other. That right there was a verbal knife fight, honestly I don't know how they are gonna come back after that" Ana said honestly
"They're sisters, they probably fight like this all the time. I have a sister, so I would know" Zoey says
"I don't know, this fight felt different" Ana says
Sky rang the doorbell of the Johnson family house, she waited for someone to answer the door. When the door swung open Sky was face-to-face with Rainbow Johnson, Junior's mother, Sky was disappointed when she answered the door. It's not a secret Bow is not the biggest fan of Sky"Hey Mrs. Johnson! Um, is Junior home?" Sky asked, Rainbow opened the front door wider for motioning for Sky to come in the house.
"Um.. yes he is. Is everything okay with the baby?" Rainbow asked concerned, as she closed the door.
"Yes, everything is okay. I just need to talk to your son" Sky admitted, Sky hear footsteps come down the stairs, and looks up to see Junior. She smiles when he sees him.
"Hey Sky, what are you doing here?" Junior asked confused, but Sky gave him the face letting him know they should y'all about it in private.
"Honey, who was it?" Andre asked while walking towards the front door.
"It was Sky, Junior's...um..."Rainbow struggled to find the correct words to define Sky to her husband.
"Hi I'm Sky, I'm a friend of Junior's" Sky extended her hand to Andre, and Andre shake it with a smile.
"Oh so you are the infamous Sky, the woman is carrying my grand child. Do you have any dinner plans? Because we'd love to have you over for dinner, so we could all get to know each other better" Andre asked
"I'd love to!" Sky answered politely with a smile.
"Dinner is tonight at 6" Andre informed Sky
"Okay guys, Sky and I are going up to my room" Junior announces as he grabs Sky's hand and heads up the stairs. Once they get to Juniors room, Sky walks in and started pacing, and Junior closed the door behind them.
"Sky, what's up? Why didn't you call me?" Junior asked
"My phone died, and I just got into the biggest fight with my sister. I am so furious, you don't even know." Sky explained. Junior seat in his swivel chair across from her. "Can I borrow your charger?" Sky asked as she grabbed Junior's phone charger, and Junior nodded yes.
"Why were you two fighting? I don't understand" Junior inquires
"Okay so I noticed that Jazz had been annoyed with me lately, but she never voiced what was annoying her until today. I was having a conversation with Ana about what Rodney had asked me yesterday and-"
"Wait, what'd he ask you?" Junior asked
"He asked me to be his girlfriend, but before I could say no. He told me to think about it and tell him later" Sky answered, and Junior nodded. "But anyway as I'm talking to Ana, Jazz puts inserts herself into the conversation. Then I make her tell me what's her problem with me, because she kept making snide remarks. She let me know the she was pissed that I got pregnant, and ruined our dream" Sky eyes watered remembering the harsh words from her sister. "Right now, I can't tell if I'm emotional because of my hormones, or if what Jazz said to me really hurt me. All I know is that it all feels the same" Sky sighed and plopped down onto Junior's bed.
"I totally get it, my mom used to be my best friend in this house. We were extremely close, since my dad and I didn't have a close relationship at all. I would tell her everything and do many things with her. Now she barely speaks to me, and when she does look at me, her face is full of disappointment. It hurts when you feel someone you were so close to, push you away and act differently. All because of a decision we made. In those times it's so hard, to try not to blame yourself. Especially since the people around you blame you" Junior looked over to Sky, who had tears streaming down her face. Junior stood up, walked over to Sky, and embraced her on the bed.
"She blames me for everything, the worst part was the disgust in her face while she was insulting me. I never thought there was anything I could do to make my sister look at me like that" Sky sobbed into Juniors chest. "I know I've made a bunch of mistakes, but I'm trying to deal with them the best I can. I wish we could make mistakes, and still count on people to be there for you, when you need them the most"
"Is that what you meant when the other day you said you could only count on me?" Junior asked
"100%, because you have been the one person who actually listens when I talk. I know it might be because you feel obligated to do it, but I really appreciate it" Sky stated, and Junior pulled her into a tight hug.
"And it's not because I feel obligated, it's because I care about you" Junior reassured Sky as they pulled away from their hug. He looked into her eyes to make sure she knows he's being honest, and she looks up at him and smiles. Sky loves how Junior makes her feel seen. Sky leaned her head onto Junior's shoulder. "Did you at least get a few good shots in?" Junior smirked
"Come on, you know me. Of course I did" They both chuckle. "But I have to admit, it didn't make me feel better after I said it. I crossed several lines, and so did she, but in the moment I really wanted to hurt her, the way she was hurting me" Sky admits
"At least you got to get everything off of your chest. Most of the things I want to say to my parents, I can't say because I have to be respectful, and grateful that they haven't kicked me out yet. But I'm afraid that me keeping it all inside, I'll eventually explode" Sky nodded completely understanding. "My parents don't get that I already feel bad that I've disappointed them. The way they've been treating me is worse than how my dad used to treat me. My dad has never been shy about making it known I'm his least favorite child, and that I'm not the son he wanted. I felt like back then he didn't have a valid reason, but now I've given him one. Just as our relationship was getting better, I go an ruin it" Junior choked out, shocked how emotional he got.
"Felt that" Sky said compassionately "My father hasn't spoken to me in 2 weeks, my mom checks in on me and then just fills in my dad. So I totally understand the feeling of being a disappointment" Junior wiped the tears from Sky's face, and locking eyes with her. They slowly leaned in, when their lips met they kiss slowly and sensually. The kiss was completely intoxicating mixed with her tears and saliva. Sky felt butterflies and like she was on clouds when they kissed. When they pulled away they both stared into each other's eyes for a couple seconds, Junior felt like she was staring into his soul. They reconnected their lips and fell back onto the bed.
Jazz went up to her room, where Doug was waiting for her. "Jazz what took you so long? and where's my juice?" Doug asked as he noticed Jazz empty handed.
"Sorry I forgot your juice, but I just had a big fight with Sky and she completely disrespected me like I was just anybody. The bitch blamed ME for her getting pregnant in the first place, then proceeded to call me fat, pregnant, and your little bitch. Just because I have a man, doesn't mean I don't think for myself" Jazz sighed as she took a seat in her desk chair facing Doug.
"My little bitch? What did I do to get brought up in y'all's fight?" Doug laughed
"She thinks you're a huge distraction from track. She says you're the reason my times are bad, but she's wrong! I made the decision to be with you all the time" Jazz informed him
"What's been up her ass lately? other than that baby" Jazz giggled at Doug's remark. "I mean, you don't believe that I'm holding you back, do you?" Doug asked
"No! absolutely not" Jazz said quickly reassuring him.
"Good, because we're going to prove her bitter ass wrong" Doug said very determined.
"How?" Jazz asked
"She coming at you, because you're falling behind in track. Then only way shut her up is catch you up" Doug said
"So what you want to be my coach?" Jazz asked
"Yes!" Doug said enthusiastically
"I'm sorry, what do you know about track?"
"Hey, I watch ESPN. Besides, all I'll be doing is keeping you focused on getting better. You're going to be doing all the work" Doug answered
"You just might be right" Jazz complimented
"I know" Doug smirked
"We've had fights before, but we've never crossed the line like this" Jazz stated
"I'm surprised, you held up with Sky. I mean, Sky is a professional insulter" Doug said
"Hey! Just because I'm not as blunt as she is, don't mean that I don't think it" Jazz smirked, and Doug grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed.
"You don't think of insulting things about me? Do you?" Doug asked
"I mean if I were to say everything that came into my head, like Sky, I could really violate you" Jazz chuckled
"Well I'm grateful you made the conscious decision to spare me" Doug said with a smile. "Now could you go get me some juice, please?" Doug asked, and Jazz laughed and jokingly hit his arm.
Sky was awoken by the vibrations she heard coming from her phone. When she woke she was shocked it was dark outside. She looked up from Junior's chest, who was still asleep. Sky tried to get up and out of Junior's arms, when she felt his grip tighten around her. Sky laughs realizing he's up. "Junior you have to let me go."
Junior replied with his eyes closed "Mhmm 5 more minutes", Sky smiled. "Come on, we don't even know what time it is. Plus your parents invited me to dinner, and I don't want them to have an even worse impression of me" Sky wriggled out of Juniors grip.
Junior groaned: "Ugh who cares what they think." "Um I do! I don't want to give them more reasons to hate me" Sky sat up and leaned over to grab her phone, she checked the time. It was 7pm, and there was a bunch of notifications. 2 texts from Rodney, 3 missed calls from Zoey, 2 missed calls from Ana, and 1 missed call from Mom. Sky listened to the voicemail her mom left, saying "Sky where are you, your friends are worried about you. They keep blowing up my shit, girl call them back" Sky ended the voicemail and deleted it, she ain't going to call nobody back because she doesn't have the energy.
"So what are you planning to do?" Junior asked after hearing the voicemail, and looking at his own phone, seeing multiple missed calls from Zoey. Sky got up from the bed, while pulling the flat sheet to cover herself whilst she grabs her clothes.
"I was going to ask you if I could spend the night here" Sky suggested as she began to put her clothes on.
"Come on, Sky. You can't run away from them" Junior
"I'm not running, I'm merely postponing seeing them until tomorrow" Sky said
"I'm only letting you stay because I know you had a rough day" Junior said, as Sky jumped into her jeans
"Don't lie, you like having me around. Especially overnight" Sky said seductively, then leaned in and pecked his lips. "Now, get dressed I want us to help your mom set the table." Sky demanded, and Junior sighed fell back into the bed.
