Just a little warning, there's a small bit of sexual activity in this chapter, but it's not very descriptive. Just thought I'd let you know.
Savannah ran her hand through her hair, and she let out a small breath, before opening Vanessa's office door.
Vanessa looked up and smiled a little. "Good morning, Savannah. You're up early, even for you."
"Yeah, I have a slight problem."
"Oh, well, come in. We'll talk."
Savannah closed the door behind her and she sat in the chair across from Vanessa, biting her lip a little.
"What's on your mind?" Vanessa asked.
"Um... Well, it's... It's kind of not on my mind, it's kind of...in my uterus..." Savannah said.
"...What?"
"I'm pregnant..."
Vanessa sighed. "Savannah..."
"I know. I know. It's a little soon, especially having Lani, but Vanessa, I can't change what's already been done... And I need a favor."
"It depends on the favor, whether or not I'll do it."
"I know you're going to take me off of the squad, but I have to keep my scholarship, otherwise I'm barred from classes. I have to have a scholarship to stay in my classes."
"Savannah, I don't know if it's going to work like that. I can't promise you anything, but I can try... But, if this doesn't fall through, don't come crying to me. You put yourself in this situation. You chose to have unprotected sex, and you-"
"We used a condom. It wasn't unprotected. Look, I've already given myself this lecture, so can we skip it? I went through enough torture last night."
"Last night?"
"I was a mess."
"That's so un-Savannah like."
A few days passed and Savannah told Dan about the baby. She wasn't going to tell her parents, since they weren't even on speaking terms anymore. After that dinner date at their house, Savannah lost all respect for them. She wanted them to know, but she wasn't going to be the one to apologize to them. She missed her father like crazy, and she felt bad about not even trying to get ahold of him, but her mother screwed everything up. Savannah called the house a few days after it happened and she never got an answer, so she just stopped trying.
Right now, Savannah was at Dan's house and they'd just finished talking about what they were going to do about the baby. Of course they were going to raise it, they just had a few differences to work out. They were in Dan's bedroom, laying down while Leilani took a nap.
"My mom will be here soon... We should get out there so we don't keep her waiting," Dan said.
"I highly doubt waiting forty-five seconds won't kill your mother to wait so we can get from the bedroom to the door," Savannah said, cuddling up to him.
"You don't know my mother."
"She can wait. We don't devote our lives to her, Dan."
"I just don't want any trouble when she's here."
"The only trouble will be her complaining about something that I did. She hates me."
"She's not used to you."
"She needs to get used to me. I'm not going anywhere, especially now that we're having a baby."
"You don't have to."
Savannah sighed lightly and she laid her head down on his chest. "We could always do something to pass the time..."
"We could," Dan said, kissing her head.
"We should."
"Then, let's," he said, kissing her lips lightly.
Savannah scooted a little closer to Dan, and she rested her hand on his cheek lightly, as Dan's hand ran over her leg lightly. Her mind drifted, and she opened her mouth a little as Dan slid his tongue with hers. Savannah pulled away from the kiss and she smiled, biting her lip a little when she felt Dan's hand slide into her shorts, and she looked at him.
"You're gonna get me going, and then Sylvia will be really pissed about how long she has to wait," she said.
"It won't kill her," Dan said, kissing her neck.
Savannah laughed and she ran her fingers through his hair, before letting out a small breath when she felt his fingers slide over her. If there was anything going on around her, she didn't notice it. She wouldn't have even cared if they were getting off in public; she was in complete bliss.
If there was one thing in the world she'd enjoyed more lately, it was having those cute romantic moments with Dan. It didn't have to be sexual; she just liked the time with him. She couldn't imagine herself with anyone else right now. She loved him, Leilani loved him, he loved Leilani. Her life was complete.
A wave passed through her body, and she gasped lightly before letting out a moan, digging her nails into his back a little.
"Oh hey, Hellcat; sharp claws, retract, retract..." Dan said.
Savannah laughed and she moved her hands from his back. "Sorry," she said as the doorbell rang. "That's your mom, go wash your hands and get off me so I can get the door."
"Yes, Ma'am."
Savannah rolled off the bed and she jogged to the door, opening it with a small smile. "Hi, Sylvia. Sorry I took so long, I was in the bedroom," she said.
"I don't need to know secretive details," Sylvia said, walking into the apartment.
"Uh... Actually, I was just putting a few clothes away, but thanks for thinking lowly of me."
"Let's not start a cat fight, Van," Dan muttered as he walked by her. "Hi, Mom; how've you been?"
"Fine," Sylvia said.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink?"
"No, I want to talk about whatever it is you wanted to talk about so I can get home."
"Oh... Okay, well, Savannah and I have some good news."
"What is it?"
Dan looked over to Savannah, and she walked over to him, so she was facing Sylvia.
"We're having a baby," Savannah said.
"I beg your pardon?" Sylvia said.
"I'm pregnant."
"What?"
"Pregnant. Knocked up, bun in the oven. Dan and I are having a baby."
"Excuse me?"
"I know you heard me, if you ask me one more time what I said, so help me God-"
"Savannah," Dan said, putting his arm around her waist. "Mom, you're getting your first grandchild."
"How did this happen?" Sylvia asked.
"Uh, we had sex on a day that I was ovulating and we conceived," Savannah said, crossing her arms.
"You don't have to be a smart alleck."
"You don't have to be so rude about it. I've been nothing but nice to you, and I've been trying my best to stay on your good side, but every thing I say or do is wrong to you. Stop being so insensitive."
"Dan, are you going to let this... harlot talk to me like that?"
"Lady, I'm am not a who-"
"Mom, stop," Dan said. "You have absolutely no right to talk like that to Savannah. She's a very respectable woman, and she's the woman that I'm in love with, and it's going to stay that way. We're having a baby together whether you approve or not, and if you don't like that, then you can leave and never come back."
Sylvia looked back and forth from Dan to Savannah a few times, and she stood up from the couch. "Well, then. I guess I'll be going. Don't come to me when you two mess up. I won't be helping you through your problems."
"The only problem we have is you," Savannah snapped.
As Sylvia left, Dan looked at Savannah just as her eyes started swelling up with tears, and he wrapped his arms around her. "Don't cry. She's only saying it to hurt you. Don't give her the satisfaction in crying," he said, kissing her head.
Savannah sobbed and buried her face into his chest. "I'm not a harlot..."
"I know you're not. She's only saying it to get to you."
"She has no right to call me names. I tried my best to be nice to that... Bitter, frigid, cold hearted bitch, and if she's gonna treat me like that, then that's how she's getting treated back."
"I'm with you on that one."
"I never want to see her again. I'm not saying you can't see her, but if she comes anywhere near me, I'll pound the bitch so hard she lands in the bottomless pit."
"If she weren't my mom, I'd help you."
"I hate you for being her son."
"...Did that one make you feel better?"
"...A little bit, yeah..."
"Mommy!" Leilani yelled.
"You want me to go get her?" Dan asked.
"No, I'll do it," Savannah said, wiping her tears from her cheeks. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Okay."
Dan watched Savannah walk down the hall, and he stayed silent for a few seconds. "Hey wait a minute, what's a harlot?"
