A Few Minutes Later…4:20 PM
Tori and I have tears pouring down our faces. Tori collapses and I drop to the ground and wrap my arms around her.
"I'm sorry Tori. So, so, so sorry. So sorry." I mumble into her shoulder.
"What are we going to do? What…what are we going to do?" Tori mumbles.
"We'll figure something out baby. We can do this. We can do this." I say.
"O…ok." Tori mumbles.
A Few Minutes Later…4:45 PM
After Tori and I collect ourselves, we stand up, wash our faces off, exit the bathroom and walk over to my bed.
"Will you hold me?" Tori asks me.
"Sure baby." I say.
30 Minutes Later…5:15 PM
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" I yell. The door opens and I am met with the sight of my mother and father. Tori and I sit up.
"Hey Jade. Your father and I…oh…hey Tori. How are you doing?" My mom asks Tori.
"I'm not feeling well." Tori mumbles.
"Ohhhh…I'm sorry. Are you sick?" My mom asks Tori. Tori shakes her head no. I really hope she doesn't…
"I'm pregnant." Tori mumbles. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This is not the way I wanted to tell my parents that Tori and I are having a baby. Fuck!
"Excuse me…did you just say that you're pregnant?" My mom asks Tori. Tori shakes her head yes.
"Oh my god. I…I don't know what to say right now…you're…you're pregnant?" My mom asks Tori.
"Yes. Jade and I found out a couple of minutes ago that I'm pregnant." Tori says.
"Is…is it Jade's?" My mom asks Tori. Excuse me…she did not just ask my girlfriend if the baby is mine.
"I can't believe that you just asked her that. How dare you insinuate that Tori cheated on me and…" Before I can finish yelling at my mother, my Dad interrupts me.
"Jade honey, you need to calm down and stop yelling at your mother." Dad says.
"Excuse me…Mom just asked my girlfriend if the baby is mine…how would you react if someone asked mom if you were the father of me? Hah? How would you react Dad?" I yell.
"Jadelyn West…you really need to stop yelling at me. It's disrespectful and you're making your girlfriend cry." Dad says. I turn my head towards Tori and I frown at the sight of the tears that are rolling down Tori's face.
"Ohhh Tori…please don't cry baby. It's ok…shhhhhhhhh." I say as I wrap my arms around Tori and give her a kiss on the top of her head.
"How…how did this happen Jade? I mean…did…did a condom break? Or were you guys trying for a baby? Just…please…please help me understand. Please." My mom says.
"Tori…Tori and I had sex a couple of months ago, and…and the condom must have broke." I say.
"O…ok. Are you guys going to keep the baby?" My mom asks Tori and I.
"We don't know yet." I say.
"Ok. Have you told your parents yet Tori?" Mom asks Tori.
"No…they're…they're in Italy right now." Tori says.
"Ok. I…I need some time to think. I'll…I'll be downstairs if you need me." Mom says as she turns around and exits the room.
"I'm really dis-appointed Jade. You're 17...your mom and I need some time to think about all of this. The four of us need to sit down later and have a talk…ok?" My Dad asks Tori and I.
"Ok." Tori and I say in unison. Dad exits the room and shuts the door.
"I'm sorry Jade…I'm sorry…I can't…I can't lie…I…I'm sorry…I'm sorry I'm not good at lying…I'm sorry that I told your parents that I'm pregnant…I'm sorry." Tori says as she starts to cry harder.
"Do you want to keep the baby? Or give it up for adoption?" I ask Tori as I let go of her and lay down. Tori lays down too and puts her head on my chest.
"I want to…to keep it." Tori mumbles.
"Are you sure?" I ask Tori. Tori shakes her head yes.
"You're not going to leave me are you?" Tori asks me.
"No baby. I'm not going to leave you. I love you." I say.
"I love you too Jade. I'm scared…really, really, really scared. My parents are going to freak out when I tell them that I'm pregnant. I'm scared baby…scared." Tori mumbles.
"I know you are baby. I know you are. I'm scared too. This…this baby changes everything. We're going to have to make this baby our number one priority. I'm not worried about whether or not we have the funds to raise a child, because I have nearly four million dollars in my bank account. I can't touch it until my 18th birthday; but it's there and ready to be used once I turn 18. Anyways…the thing I'm worried about the most is our careers. I personally think we should wait until our baby gets older before we pursue a career in acting. What do you think baby?" I ask Tori.
"I agree." Tori mumbles.
"Are we going to be ok Tori?" I ask Tori.
"We're going to be ok baby. We can do this. It's going to be hard; but we can do this." Tori says.
"I'm scared." I mumble.
"Me too. Do you think we should tell our friends at school tomorrow?" Tori asks me.
"Ah…yes…yes I do; but I think we should wait until after summer break to tell everyone else. I mean…we should wait until they start asking questions…I don't know." I say.
"We'll tell our friends tomorrow, and we'll tell everyone else in a mass email once I start to show." Tori says.
"A mass email?" I ask Tori.
"Yeah. I think we should tell everyone in a mass email, because I don't feel like telling everyone individually…you know?" Tori asks me.
"Yeah. Like, once you start showing, people will start asking questions, and we'll answer there questions in a mass email." I say.
"Ok." Tori says.
"Ok." I say.
A Little Over An Hour Later…6:35 PM
"Have you guys made a decision yet?" My mom asks Tori and I.
"Yes…we decided that we want to keep the baby." Tori says.
"Ok. Are you guys going to move in together when you both turn 18?" Mom asks Tori and I.
"Yes." Tori and I say in unison.
"Ok. Jade?" Mom says.
"Yes mom." I say.
"You turn 18 in a month…which means that the four million dollars in your bank account is yours to use however you like. I really hope you use it wisely; but knowing you, you will. Your father and I will put the bank account in your name on your 18th birthday. Right now it's in our names; but we haven't touched it…promise. Anyways, your father and I are leaving for Texas in the morning, and…" Before my Mom can finish her sentence, I interrupt her.
"You guys just got back from New York City." I say.
"I know honey…I'm sorry that your father and I aren't more involved in your life; but we have work, and…" Before my mom can finish her sentence, I interrupt her.
"Whatever mom…just go and have fun with Dad in bum fuck Texas." I say. I know my parents love me; but they always leave me, always.
"I'm sorry Jade…I'm sorry." Mom says.
"Whatever Mom. Have fun in Texas. Come on baby…let's get out of here." I say to Tori.
"O…ok." Tori mumbles.
A Few Minutes Later…7:00 PM
Tori opens the front door of her house and we step into the house and freeze.
"Oh my god." Tori and I say in unison. Cat quits eating Trina out, sits up, and Trina grabs a blanket off the back of the couch and throws it over herself and Cat.
"Tori!" Cat yells as she gets off of the couch, runs over to Tori and wraps her arms around her.
"You're naked Cat." Tori says.
"Oops…sorry." Cat says as she lets go of Tori and runs over to the pile of clothes on the floor.
"Hey…hey guys." Trina says. This isn't the first time we've walked in on Trina and Cat having sex. It's still a bit of a surprise; but at this point, we're kind of used to it.
"Hey. Do you guys want to go grab some dinner with Jade and I? We have something important to tell you." Tori says.
"Ah…sure. Come on baby…let's go shower and get dressed." Trina says to Cat.
"Kay Kay." Cat says.
A Few Minutes Later…7:30 PM
Trina, Cat, Tori and I are seated at a table towards the back of Denny's.
"What did you guys want to talk to us about?" Trina asks Jade and I.
"Ah…this…this might come as a bit of a shock; but I'm…I'm pregnant." Tori says.
"Oh my god!" Cat and Trina say in unison. Both of their mouths are hanging open.
"We…we didn't plan on having a baby. It just kind of…happened." I say.
"Jade…can I talk to you for a second…please?" Trina asks me.
"Ah…sure." I say. Trina stands up, grabs my arm, pulls me out of the chair, and starts leading me to the front of the restaurant. She opens the front door and drags me over to the side of the building. She let's go of my arm and punches me in my left eye. I double over in pain and put my left hand over my left eye.
"I knew this would happen. I knew Tori would get pregnant. I told her…I told her that she should go on the pill; but she didn't listen. She didn't listen." Trina mumbles.
"What?" I ask Trina.
"I'm sorry I punched you." Trina says.
"It's ok. You're mad. I would be mad too if I were you; but what did you say before you told me you were sorry?" I ask Trina.
"When…when Tori told me that you were born with a penis…" Trina whispers the word penis. "I told her that she should go on the pill, and she told me that she wanted to get pregnant and…" Before Trina can finish her sentence, I interrupt her. My mouth drops open and all kinds of thoughts start running through my head. Is Trina telling the truth? Did Tori want to get pregnant? No…that's not right. Tori was downright terrified when we found out she was pregnant. She's a good actress; but not that good. Jesus Christ. What if Trina is telling the truth? What if Tori wanted to get pregnant? Oh god. I need time to think. Without saying a word to Trina, I turn around and start running. I run to my car, open the drivers side door, get into the car, take the keys out of my pocket, shove them into the ignition, start the car, put on my seatbelt, throw the car into reverse, back out of my parking spot, throw the car into drive, and speed out of the parking lot.
Trina's P.O.V.
Good work Trina. Now all's you have to do is wait. Jade will be yours in no time.
