A month or so later later
I jumped up and headed straight for the bathroom. After I threw up I brushed my teeth and went on with my day.
However, my bathroom trips were becoming more frequent.
My doorbell rang at 1pm. I wondered who it was, since I told everyone earlier this morning that I wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to be by myself. I opened the door and Trevor walked in.
"Trev, I don't feel good, I just wanna lay around."
He shoved a bag in my hand, "Come out when your done." And pushed me upstairs.
I opened the grocery bag and pulled out a pregnancy test. My eyes got wide; it never occurred to me that I could be carrying a kid. I followed the instructions and went downstairs to wait.
"Trev, why?"
"You got all the signs, but I'm the only one that's noticed, except your mom. We talked and I picked you up a test."
"It never crossed my mind."
"When's the last time you two didn't use a condom?"
I shifted on the couch. I talk to him about almost everything, but my sex life! After all he's like my brother!
"Graduation night and my birthday."
"Damn it." He whispered.
"Trev, it's not like it was on purpose! We just forgot it's not like you use a condom every time you fuck!"
"I haven't fucked anyone for quite some time thank you, and I only forgot once!"
He took a deep breath. "Bring it down here, and we'll find out together."
I nodded, grabbed it and came back downstairs.
"Ok, I'm going to turn it over on the count of three." I said nervously.
He nodded.
We both took deep breaths.
I turned it over and my heart stopped: POSITIVE
I dropped the test and fell back onto the couch.
"Oh…. my…god…"Was all I could say.
Trevor stood there, stunned.
"Trevy, what am I going to do? How will I tell my mom? How will Randy take it?" I said shaky and crying.
He bent down in front of me. "Cassandra, it's gonna be ok. This isn't the end of the world. Your mom already thinks you are, so it won't come as such a shock. And well, Randy helped create the child that's forming inside you, and he's a man, so he'll stick by your side. Plus, you'll have Jessi, John and myself to help you. You know we'd never turn our backs on you. We all love you too much, but you need to tell them."
"I know, but this is still a shock."
"I know baby girl, but with me by your side, you'll be alright."
I smiled at him and hugged him tight.
I picked up the phone and looked at Trev, he nodded. I dialed Randy's cell first, but no answer; so I called Jessi.
"Hey, Jessi," I said shaky.
"Cass, what's up? What's wrong?"
"Can you come over?"
"Yeah, John's with me."
"That's cool, I need to talk to him too. Do you know where Randy's at?"
"Nope, haven't seen him all day."
"Oh, ok…" I paused, "How soon can you be here?"
"Give me five."
"Ok, love you."
"Love you too."
I tried to call Randy again, but he didn't answer. Go figure, the one time I really need to get a hold of him, his ass won't answer.
"We'll get a hold of him, don't worry sis." Trev said hugging me.
I heard tires squeal, then Jessi came running in, "Is everything alright? Are you ok? Is mom ok?" She said without breathing.
"Jessi, calm down, take a seat." Trevor said getting up, motioning for her to sit there.
"We need you to calm down before we can tell you."
"Tell us what? Is everybody ok?" John asked, running in.
"John, take a seat, you both need to be calm." He waited a few minutes. "Ok, I don't know if anyone's noticed Cassy acting different lately."
"I have, but its probably PMS." Jessi said.
"Well, it's not. It's serious, Cassy?"
I couldn't look at them, "I…I'm…" I stopped as tears started flowing, "Jessi I'm pregnant." I said breaking down. I heard them gasp, then arms around me.
"Oh my god, are you sure?"
"I bought her a test, it came out positive, and she's got a doctors appointment tomorrow at one."
Jessi hugged me tighter and was crying as well. "It'll be ok baby, I'll be here every step of the way. I promise, I love you sis."
John sat their opened mouthed, unable to speak.
I laid a blanket over Cassy on the couch, and motioned for them to follow me into the kitchen. We sat down on the stools by the island.
"John, do you know where Randy's at?"
"He didn't look at me."
"John, you better tell me where that boy is." I said angry.
"He's not with someone else if that's what your thinking."
"Good, cuz' I'd kill him.
"Yeah, me too."
"Where is he then?"
"His recruiter called him today."
"Recruiter for what?"
"Ran signed up to join the Marines a while back, and they called him in again today. They've called him up there a couple times in the past few months…"
"Is that why he gave her the ring?"
He nodded, "He wanted to give it to her incase he got shipped of, he wanted to make sure he got it."
"Has he mentioned the Marines to Cassy?"
"Not that I know of."
"What?" I yelled, "So he's probably getting shipped off and that's going to leave Cassy alone with no baby daddy! I'ma hurt that goddamn brother of yours John."
Marines? What? How? Why? I sat upright, listening to their conversation How could her have joined and not told me?
DING DONG
I ran to the door and looked through the peephole, as they piled out of the kitchen, and saw Randy.
"You mention anything about me being pregnant and I will kill you, ok?" I glared, making John shrink back, Jessi and Trev nodded.
I opened the door.
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" He kissed me cheek.
"Where ya been?"
"Errands."
I looked at his eyes; they said that was a lie.
"Bullshit, where ya been?"
He sighed and looked down near his feet. "My recruiter called me and told me some news."
"Recruiter for what, the Marines?" I said pissed.
He looked shocked and nodded.
"What'd he say Randy?"
He didn't say a word.
"Randy, what'd he say?" I asked testy.
"I leave for boot camp in a couple days."
"WHAT?" I yelled surprised.
"Cassy, go upstairs." Trevor said pulling me out of the doorway, "Jessi taker her up there."
She nodded, noticing the flame in Trevor's eyes.
"Come on Cassy." She said pushing me. We got to my room and I slammed the door. I threw myself on my bed. "Jessi, what am I going to do? I can't raise this kid by myself." I cried.
She lay down beside me, "You won't be alone. You've got your mom, Trev, John, and me. We're going to be here for you, your not alone I promise." She hugged me.
I understood that they'll be here, but I want Randy, the daddy to be here…but he's leaving.
TREVOR'S P.O.V.
When I heard Cassy's door slam, I moved and pointed Randy into the living room, he sat down on the couch.
"Why didn't you tell her?" I said trying not to yell.
"I forgot I signed up before we moved here, and I totally forgot about it."
"When'd you find out?" I said sitting in the chair across from him.
"Two weeks before graduation."
"That was almost two months ago!" I yelled.
"I know but they called me in and got my physical, health records and all that."
"Why and how did you afford to give Cassy that ring?"
"They gave me a couple thousand for signing up and almost ready to go to camp."
"How much did the ring cost?"
"Enough."
I glared at him.
"It was close to two thousand."
"Why'd you give it to her on her birthday?"
"They told me I might be getting shipped off in a couple months. I wanted to make sure I gave it to her, so I gave it to her on her birthday."
"Why didn't you tell her then?"
"I didn't want her to be mad or depressed."
"Well you fucked that up bro." John said angry.
"I know, I didn't want her to find out like this…" Randy said, his hand in his hands.
"When you leaving?"
"Two days."
"That's a hell of a notice." I snarled.
"I didn't know it'd be that short of a time!" He defended himself.
"I don't give a shit! You could have told her so it wouldn't be such a shock!" I yelled in his face.
"Bro you needa leave." John said, "Trev go check on Cassy."
I glared at Randy and went upstairs.
JOHN'S P.O.V.
I looked at my brother, "Randy you fucked up."
"I know." Randy said looking down. "I wish it wasn't like this," He said sadly.
"Well, it is. Go home, your not going to talk to her tonight." I said opening up the front door.
Randy hung his head and sighed, "Tell her I love her. I'll be back tomorrow."
JESSI'S P.O.V.
Trev came in and got in on the other side of the bed. Cassy snuggled up to him.
"I'm going to talk to John." When I got to the door I looked back and saw Trev rubbing her back, whispering words I couldn't hear.
I sat by John on the couch.
"How's she doing?" He asked.
"She's calmed down a little, but she's still upset. Trevor's up there with her, how'd it go down here?"
He explained everything to me, "I know you love your brother, but not telling us was fucking stupid."
"I know, and he is in the wrong, but he deserves to know he's gonna be a daddy."
I sighed, "I know, but that's not for us to tell. She'll tell him sometime."
Ok, I don't know if anyone actually reads this, but I'd appreciate if at least one person could tell me. I don't care if you review to tell me this story sucks, that'd a better review than none at all.
