Chapter Ten

Cameron bought the last of Abi's boxes in to his room, he hadn't let her carry anything.

"Well that's it" He wrapped his arms around her "We live together" He kissed her until they felt the baby move, they pulled apart, smiling.

Cameron poked her bump "Stop it. She was mine first"

"Have to learn to share"

"Listen, I was wondering... do you want me to decorate one of the spares room for the baby? I know you and Mom had said the baby could share with Ella..."

"I'd love for him to have his own room"

"You think it's a boy?"

"Yeah, I do...I'd like him to stay with us for awhile"

"Thought you'd say it. That's ok with me, not gonna make much difference, only small" He kissed her head "Lets go talk to Mom"

They walked downstairs, holding hands, and in to the kitchen.

"Hey mom?" Cameron said

Joanne turned around and smiled at them "Hey kids, whats up?"

"We were wondering if we could turn one of the spare rooms into a bedroom for the baby?"

"Umm, yeah, sure, if that's what you want to do, we'll still have two more rooms after that" She said "Speaking of my grandchild, have you called the hospital yet?"

"Oh..." Cameron said "...Not yet"

"Abi" She sighed "You're eighteen weeks, you need to see a doctor"

"I know...I'm just worried"

"You don't need to be worried" Cameron said "Do you want me to call them instead?"

"Or I could?" Joanne offered

"Would you?" Abi said

"Who would you prefer?" Joanne said

"Would you mind?"

"Of course not" She turned to Cameron "Pass me the phone"

Cameron passed her the phone and she got the number off the board, she still had it on there from having Ella

"Hello, my son's girlfriend's very shy so she hasn't called before, but is it possible to book her a scan...she's eighteen weeks...well they're both fifteen so she's been worried what you'd say...yes I know...really, that soon...? Her names Abi Kingston, ok, thank you..." She hung up and turned to face them "11 o'clock tomorrow"

"Seriously? That soon?" Cameron said

"It's because of how far a long she is" Joanne said "Do you want me to take you?"

"Yeah...please..."

...

A couple of weeks later it was Abi's grandmother's 60th birthday, she didn't go to the party with her mother though, she went with Cameron's family instead.

They walked out into the garden of the building that had been hired for the event, Abi's grip on Cameron's hand tightened, dreading her grandma's reaction

"It'll be ok" He whispered in her ear as they walked down the steps "Everything's gonna be fine"

"That's easy for you to say, you're not twenty three weeks pregnant"

"I know...I wouldn't have got you pregnant if I was...but I'm here, I'll just...I'll do something..."

"Thanks" She went up on tip toes and kissed his cheek

"Welcome" He spotted her grandma "Wanna get it over with?"

Abi's Grandmother spotted them before Abi could respond, she started walking towards them. Cameron's arm looped around her.

"What the hell happened to you Abigail?" She looked Cameron up and down "Aren't you Joanne's son?"

He nodded "Yes, I am...now also Abi's boyfriend..."

Abi's grandmother had turned back to her "How could you get pregnant?" She sighed "I thought you were the sensible one..."

"I am" Abi managed to say "I just made a mistake...but I don't regret it...not one little bit. I'm having a baby...and there's nothing you can do about it"

"I can tell...why didn't your mother tell me?"

"Not many people know, she only found out a few weeks ago"

"How could you hide something like this?"

"I'm fifteen years old Grandma. I'm scared, I'm terrified, even with Cameron by my side, supporting me. I was scared of what you'd all say"

Cameron pulled Abi in to his body as she started to cry, partly because she was upset and partly because her hormones were flying around everywhere

"Come on, its ok" He kissed her head "Why don't we go sit up in our room for awhile huh?"

She nodded "Ok"

They headed back inside and up to their room.

"I don't wanna go back down there" She said, sitting on their soft bed

"Look" He sat beside her "You shouldn't care what they think, but if you really don't want to go back down there, I understand"

"Thanks" She wiped her eyes "I might wanna go down in awhile"

"That's fine" He put his arm around her "What you wanna do now?"

She shrugged "I need to lie down for a few minuets though, backs hurting again"

"You sound like your Grandma" He smiled

"Hey, its your fault I'm pregnant in the first place"

"I know, just making a statement"

...

They didn't go down until breakfast the next morning.

"Where were you two yesterday?" Kim said as they sat at the table

"Grandma didn't take the news too well" Abi said "So we stayed out the way"

"Abi?"

She turned around and was surprised to see Mrs Baskett

"Mrs Baskett? What are you doing here?"

"I'm friends with your Grandmother" She looked Abi up and down "You're getting big"

"Yeah" She smiled, then pulled Cameron up from his seat "Mrs Baskett, this is Cameron, the baby's Father"

"Hi" Cameron said

"Hello" She smiled "Where were you both yesterday?"

"Oh, um, Grandma isn't exactly thrilled about the baby, so we stayed out the way"

"Ah. Well, I can talk to her if you want..."

"No, no, that's ok..."

"What are you doing about school?"

Abi and Cameron looked at each other, they hadn't thought of that.

"I could home school you" Joanne said "I was a teacher before I had Ella"

"That could work" Cameron said

...

Cameron flopped down on to the sofa next to Abi after the first day at school

"How was it?" She smiled

"Tiring" He sighed "How've you two been?"

"Do you mean me and your mom, or me and the baby?"

"Baby"

"I think today's making mommy feel sick from all the moving I'm doing day"

"Well thats not nice" He ran his hand over her bump "So hows your school day been?"

"Not that bad, your mom goes easy on me. Especially because of how her grandchild's treating me"

He smiled "Let me guess...she said he's like me?"

"Yeah, got that about 5 times" She smiled at him "But we both missed you"

"I missed you both too" He kissed her "But we get to spend the whole weekend together"

"But that's forever away..."

"I know, but we can do this" He said "Just remember, I'm being home schooled for a couple of months with you once he's born. Get to be together all the time then"

"Hmm" She snuggled up to him "I guess you're right"

"Always am" He smiled
