Mara POV. 21 weeks of being pregnant! (5 months)
So far these months had been very tough; there had been ups and downs. Mick and I had broken up since my 3rd month of pregnancy, which I hadn't figured out if that was an up or down. I had broken up with him in the beginning of my 3rd month pregnancy so a month would pass so that Jerome I would start dating without having Mick be very suspicious, and fortunately it worked! (It was a plan that Jerome had come up with when and how I would break up with Mick). Mick still seemed quite jealous though, even to this very day of my ultra sound. I wouldn't want to be mean but he seemed to be getting obsessed, which made me worry a little. I hadn't told him about my pregnancy; it was something I couldn't do which I did not know why….
ANYWAYS today was the day … I was so happy! I had just crossed out Wednesday out of my Calendar, because today I would officially be able to see my baby in my stomach. Jerome and I had been waiting for this for a really long time, now. All of the Anubis gang the exception of Mick of course couldn't believe that I was already 5 months into my pregnancy and no one notice. Not even Mick nor Trudy or worse Victor. We all went out that day, it was a cloudy day yet I could feel mist in the air when the wind blew. Fabian had called in a cab and told Trudy we were going to a movie (of course we were going to the doctors), Trudy of course covered for us with Victor saying that we were at the "library" "studying". Mick was doing his daily exercise with some new coach his father had hired for him. Since my baby stomach was not a full one, like the ones you see on TV. We wanted to know if my baby was healthy and that there weren't any abnormalities with my baby.
Jerome POV
When the gang and I had gotten to the doctor's I was very excited! I was finally going to see my baby…eh I never thought that in a million years would I have to say MY BABY in my teen years. When I was growing up I always knew that if I had a kid, it would be in my early to mid 30s. I am not even joking. When the doctor called us up I was to firkin excited yet, very nervous. Alfie gave me at pat on the back; we could only have 2 people in the room so Mara picked Patricia. When going into the room they had Mara lay down on this chair that looked like the dentist chairs, like the ones that they make you lay down. When the doctor was putting something gooey on her stomach and then using some sort of mouse on top of her. When I saw the baby and its tiny little fingers with its tiny little toes, I was speechless…
"Jerome, that is OUR baby," Mara said in a happy and excited tone.
"Isn't it beautiful?" she asked.
As I was about to answer Patricia cut me off….
"Well don't call it "it", I mean c'mon Mara "it" is beautiful but what is "it", boy or girl?"
"Patricia I think you are right I don't want to wait, Jerome pleeeaaaasssee (please) can we find out the sex of the baby?"
"I actually I wanted it to be a surprise, but since then we can be prepared and we can know what to buy for the baby…sure let's find out?"
"Doctor?" I said, "We would like to know the sex of the baby please."
The doctor replied, "Ok then… let's see what we got." She maneuvered the mouse around Mara's perfectly round baby ball of a stomach, that was noticeable when the shirt was off but not when she would wear that baggy sweater that I let her have after our 5th date. "Well it seems you will be having a beautiful baby boy."
I was so happy… but then Mara asked the most important question of all.
"Doctor?"
"Yes?"
"I would like to know… if the baby is healthy."
"Oh! Why yes of course, a perfectly healthy baby boy… now as long as you keep eating your vitamins and not smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, nor do drugs your baby will be fine." The doctor said with great confidence.
Mara's face lit up and I could see she was very happy.
LATER IN THE DAY
Jerome POV
I was in my room with Mara hanging out with her and our new healthy little boy, when suddenly Nina comes in and tells me…
"Jerome listen we found something that could help us with….oh, Mara!"Nina said.
She had stopped herself before telling me something about the whole Sara mystery in front of Mara. I knew we couldn't say anything to Mara about the mystery or else that would put her and the baby in danger…especially if Rufus was involved. Who knows to what length he would go to get revenge on me. I couldn't let him hurt the ones I loved…so I made damn sure that Mara wasn't involved…even though it pained me to lie to her about it sometimes. Since the baby thing with Mara I haven't been so much into the mystery anymore cause of my responsibilities. Of course when I got the chance Alfie would update me on what is going on and then I would go to the Sibuna meetings to get myself updated with the newest information. When suddenly Mara broke the silence….
"Can help you with what?" Mara asked very curious.
"Oh! Well you see Mara I have been….ummmm…..writing a…. song with Fabian!" Nina told her in an unsure voice, of course that was a pretty good lie on the spot if I do say so myself.
"A song?" Mara asked
"Yup!" Nina said with a flinch.
"Then why do you need Jerome?" Mara quickly retorted.
"Well… you see Mara… um….Jerome was thinking of a song title…and we need it right away."
"Yea Mara… but sadly I haven't come up with one…hey maybe later I can." I said with such a relief, knowing that this lie was over.
"Oh... that's cool… but Nina if you don't mind I have to talk to Jerome about something right now?" Mara said very seriously.
"Yea sure don't worry about it….I think that Fabian and I can come up with one…bye now." Nina finally said and then left.
Mara POV
I wanted privacy so I told Jerome to follow me to my room where I sat him next to me in my bed then I asked…
"Jerome what's going to happen after I have the baby?"
"Well first we are going to keep it, then with the money I get from my mum buy a house and hire a babysitter." Jerome said with such certainly.
"Well yes Jerome but what about the baby and Mick?" I asked very seriously.
"What about Mick and the baby?" Jerome asked very confused.
"Well don't you think Mick would find a bit suspicious that after I broke up with him I magically became pregnant then started dating you." I said very worried
"Yes?" he said still very confused.
"Ok listen Jerome if Mick finds out I'm pregnant he is going to fight for custody to see the baby, he still doesn't know you and I slept together." I explained
Then all of a sudden a burst through the door came and it was Mick with a furious look on his face.
"YOU AND CLARK DID WHAT?" Mick said with such anger and furry.
Jerome and I quickly jumped off the bed and Jerome stood between me and Mick trying to protect me and the baby if things got out of hand.
"Answer me MARA"!
"Ok listen, Mick there is no need for yelling…" Jerome got cut off
"NO NEED FOR YELLING!"
"WOW …well let's see first my girlfriend breaks up with me and then starts dating a jerk!"
"Then I find out that you two slept together?" Mick continued in a rampage.
"Ok Mick I get you are mad but there is something you are not getting." I quickly said
"What is it Mara?"
"HUH?" "Cause it seems I put all the pieces together now."
I was about to explain when Jerome came to my aid…
"Listen Campbell, there is more than meets the eye!"
"Oh shut up Clark you no good girlfriend stealer."
I quickly interrupted before things go out of hand…
"Mick listen I'm…pregnant." I said slowly and cautiously.
"You are what?" Mick said with a surprise look on his face, it had seemed as if he loosened up.
"I'm pregnant."
"Now I get it Mara… now I get it." Mick said
"What do you exactly get?"Jerome asked him.
"Well that Mara is pregnant with my baby." Mick said with a happy- go-lucky face.
"Ummm Mick…I hate to break it to you but it's not your baby." Jerome said trying to break up his smile
"What do you mean?" Mick said with a lost for words and expressions.
Jerome POV
With this ordeal that Mara and I were in we had to tell Mick the truth as much pain it caused me Mara had to tell him the details of that night the baby was conceived and what was going one through these past few months. Then I had to explain what was going to happen after she had the baby. After we told him the story, Mara begged and pleaded to him to not tell Victor, Trudy, or any adult as a matter a fact, especially any other student. We also told him that the house mates in house of Anubis already knew about. He seemed speechless at first but then ….
"So all of this happened behind my back?" Mick questioned.
Mara and I just nodded.
Then Mara asked
"You aren't going to tell anybody right?" she asked with worry in her eyes
"Of course not I wouldn't let yours or my reputation go down the toilet."
I couldn't believe he actually looked sincere.
"Really?" Mara asked.
"Yes Mara I still care about and I'll do anything to make you happy."
"Ok then….. (I was cut off)
"But wait you guys never told me who the father is?"
"I want to know because if it is mine then I want part custody?"
"Well personally Mick, Jerome and I think it's his."
"Well of course you do, you love him and slept with him…But that doesn't mean we know who the real father is do we?" Mick said with such an expression that led me to think he was up to something.
"Well Mick that is something else I don't feel comfortable sticking a needle in me and risking something…I'm sorry but if we do want to find out the real father we have to wait after the birth ok..Can you respect that Mick?" She said with such fear within her eyes …it was something she was serious about.
"Of course Mara or course." Mick said in a tone of voice that I wasn't sure about
Hope you all like it and please review and comment and all that good stuff FYI please tell me what you thought of this chapter good? Bad? Ok? And guys how's my writing? I would also like to add that by the next chapter I am thinking it be about Mara's baby shower and no drama and the next her birth how does that sound?
