I'm so sorry it took so long but I finally have another chapter done. I tried to make this one sort of long to make up for it so yeah. I hope you guys enjoy it and I'd love to hear what you think :)
I sat on the cold tiled floor with my arms resting against the seat of the toilet, a position I had been stuck in for the past couple of days. I tied my long hair up into a bun on top of my head to keep it out of the mess. I felt awful, even worse than when I turned into a Waka Waka bug.
I heard footsteps going up the stairs leading towards my room. I tried to stand up but my stomach turned and I ducked my head towards the toilet again.
There was a light knock on the bathroom door followed by Brady's voice, "How ya doing?"
He seemed to come up and check on me every hour lately. Sometimes he brought me stuff other times he just talked. I always kept the door locked. The first time I got sick he came in and tried to hold my hair out of the way only to get sick watching me get sick, resulting in him throwing up all over me.
"Okay," I managed to reply before I began to feel that gurgling in my stomach again.
"Do you need anything?" he asked.
"No."
"Hey Mikayla?" Brady responded, "I'm sorry I did this to you."
"Brady I'm practically throwing up my insides right now, it's not the time for me to be reassuring you its fine."
"Yeah I know, I just feel really bad. I mean if I had been more careful then we wouldn't be here right now."
"You have a brain the size of a walnut what do you expect."
"Ok I can tell you don't want to talk so I'll leave."
"I wish this thing would leave my body!" I shouted before vomiting for the billionth time.
"You're kidding right?" Brady replied with worry in his voice.
"No I'm not. I can't handle months of feeling sick followed by becoming fat and ugly only to go through child birth and have this thing ruining my life."
"Mikayla you're probably just tired or hungry or something, you don't actually mean that."
"I do. I know it's awful and I didn't think I could ever actually consider it but I am."
"But it's our baby, how could you not want it?"
"Because Brady I'm not like you. I have dreams and goals for my life. This is just going to ruin everything."
"I have to go, Boomer is calling me but we'll talk about this later."
I bent over the toilet as silent tears fell down from my face. I knew I was breaking his heart, I was breaking mine as well but it would be the best for everyone.
Suddenly I moved my hand down to my stomach, I didn't even think it just ended up there. I stroked my fingers across my flat belly. There's one person it wouldn't be good for. One person who I would be robbing of life, of their chance to make an impact on this world. This one person who would grow up to be the next leader of this island.
POV Brady
Boomer stood with his back against the wall as he watched me pace up and down the hallway.
"Boom I just don't know what I can do about this one. It seems like everything I do I mess up and even when I try to do the right thing it just blows up in my face."
Boomer looked up from his portable video game and asked, "Wait what are we talking about? I was trying to get past the second level, the dragon keeps knocking me off the bridge."
"I'm talking about Mikayla and the baby."
"What? Mikayla had a baby? How long have I been playing this game?"
"No Boom Mikayla is pregnant and she wants to get rid of our baby."
"Your baby? How is Mikayla having your baby?"
"Dude you really need to read that book Mason gave you."
"But it's like ten pages long!" Boomer complained.
"Boomer I'm serious!"
"Woah dude take a chill pill," Boomer stated.
"No, I'm trying to be responsible for once and I know if she does this is will be a big mistake."
"Well she never said she was going to do it, she's just thinking about it right?"
I nodded.
"It's fine then, what girl doesn't want a baby."
"Mikayla."
POV Mikayla
I stood up from my position on the cold dirty bathroom floor and unlocked the door. I was beginning to feel better although I knew it probably wouldn't last for long. I shuffled over to my bed and fell onto it. Grabbing up all my pillows and hugging them against my body. I could only think about one thing, I needed my mom.
"Hey, you're out of the bathroom," my dad stated as he sat down beside me on the bed. He reached over and pushed my hair out of my face.
"Daddy can you tell me about mom?" I asked.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I really need her right now."
"Your mom was an amazing person, smart, strong and beautiful just like you."
"But what happened to her? All I know is she died when I was five."
"It's a long story, all I know is that the people from her island had something against her."
"Did she want to be a mom?"
My dad looked at me with wide eyes then sighed, "Not at first but she loved you so much once you were born."
"Sorry to interrupt but Mikayla we really need to talk," Brady stated as he stood in the doorway.
My dad got off the bed and walked over to Brady. He stopped in front of him with his hand on his sword and stated, "I'll be watching you." Before leaving down the stairs.
"That was terrifying," Brady stated.
"Brady."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry about what I said earlier."
"You are? So you're not going to have an abortion?"
I shook my head. I stood up and walked over to him. I draped my arms around his shoulders as I stared into his brown eyes, "How could I ever do anything to our baby."
"I'm so happy, I know I'm not the most responsible or mature guy but I promise I'll try really hard," Brady replied with a huge smile on his face.
"I know you will," I grinned as I leaned closer and kissed him.
