Ch 6

Nevaeh sits next to Colby eating their food and laughing about different things from their childhood. They kept laughing at telling funny stories from growing up.

"Seriously my mom used to get mad at me because we had a pool in the backyard and I would after being in the pool take my shorts off and come back into the house naked. She would get mad because we lived on the bottom of a hill in our small town so people can see me but it made sense to me and never be afraid."

"Hahahaha wow. Colby the nudist who knew. I don't have stories like that but I do have one of being with Penelope and her brothers and sitting in their room watching a movie and her brother Anthony kissed me. That Eric ran to our parents and told them like it was some big deal to them about our first kiss."

"Wow so you and Anthony were really close?"

"We were together since we all met at 3 years old. They are triplets so when Anthony died in the car crash it hurt them. He was my first kiss, my first love, and right before he died I hurt him by getting with this guy at an independent show."

"Oh, wow that's crazy. You always felt you would marry him, didn't you?"

"I did. When he died I thought my life was over."

"I'm sorry but hey now we have a new life to think about right. So, tell me stories about your dad and you."

"Well Dad and I used to when he would come home from the road go out to this diner down the street from the house and eat cheeseburgers and French fries. Then we would go try to see a movie or go out somewhere just us. He would go out of his way to spend time with me when off work that Joanie used to cry that he wasn't home. She never wanted me to be there at his home in our hometown. He would take me there and we would spend some time together for a few days but I remember she would cry when I was there because she wanted nothing to do with kids or have kids."

"Wow that's crazy. Well I better get some sleep and so should you." He gets up and gives her a hug and walks to his room.

He went back to his room and ran a hand through his hair with a sigh. He sat down and grabbed his phone texting Joe and Jon. Even with being apart storyline wise they are still very close friends.

Hey, can you guys come to my room quick and talk to me please. - Colby

Sure, on my way. - Joe

Me too see you shortly. - Jon

They come to his room a few minutes later and knock on the door. After he lets them in he sits back down on the couch.

"So, what's going on Colby that you have to call us from our room at 1am."

"This stays between us."

"Well remember when Nevaeh and I left the party a month ago and I told you guys how we had sex well….."

"Let me guess you got our girl pregnant Colby." Joe says.

"Yes, I did. We just found out and I am flipping out here."

"Why because you want to get an abortion?" Joe says.

"No because I am afraid I am going to be a terrible dad and what about everything else going on in my life right now."

"Well you did this and only you can work on it Colby. You better step up and be with her and your child. Am I saying be in a relationship with her only you two can decide that. But I am saying you need to be there for them. You will be a good dad. Just know it's understandable to be scared. We are here for you guys every step of the way." Joe says as he gives Colby a hug then walks out the door.

"He is right brother you got this." Jon says as he follows him out of the room.

Colby goes to lay down and his phone goes off. He looks at it to see a text from Nevaeh.

Thanks for being with me tonight. Like you said we will get through this together. Good night Colby. – Nevaeh

Good night Princess and I will always be there. This is our baby together so it is our job to do this together. - Colby
