Chapter 4: stupid bacon
" wait where are we going to stay?" Rosie said as a sudden thought creeped into her mind while she looked through the boxes lying around the room to find her clothes
" what do you mean?" Macro said coming down the stairs with one bag already and the other empty for Rosie to put her things
While they were in bed cuddling after they finished properly celebrating, they decided that it was to tell their parents sooner rather than later or before they heard it someone else. That was the thing was small towns everyone knew everyone so it virtually impossible to keep anything a secret. Although she knew that to would it would be a while before she started showing since she was a month and half pregnant, she knew that people would notice something was different about her. And there was the fact that her and Marco were now together, it would make people more aware something was going on since everyone knew their history from high school meaning they were the least likely couple ...ever.
"I mean after we tell them I'm guessing our parents houses won't exactly be the most welcoming of places" she said opening one of the many boxes from her place
"Yeah I don't know about your parents, I know mine might take a while to become the gushing grandparents" he said making a pot of decaf coffee so that Rosie could have some too
" mine either, also it might be confusing to them and downright weird for us not to be in the same house or even in the same bed" she said as she begin to fill the travel bag he brought down for her
" yeah you have a point, I mean I know we've only been together a short while but I think I would miss sleeping next to me at night" he said knowing he sounded sappy and pathetic but he didn't care he knew that he could her anything without her making fun of him
" so what should we do? Stay at the moonlight?" She said knowing that that would be a tip off for everyone
" we could or we could stay at Jess's place, I'll can text her to measure" He grabbed his phone to text his older sister Jess who he knew would be in Chicago with her husband and kids where they lived
" ok that's me all packed I want to put a few things in my bag like a book and my iPod, in case I can't sleep and then we can go. Are you sure you'll be okay diving through the night? We can take turns" she said joining him in the kitchen as he put his phone down waiting for a reply
" I'm sure, I'll just drink a lot of coffee to keep me awake thank for caring about me" he said gently kissing her as he pulled her closer to him
" it's okay you make easy for me" she said smiling as she continued to kiss him, she was right being with him right now was easy
" and as much as I'd love you to meet out parents in my t shirt, I think you should get changed" he said as he realised she was only wearing his t shirt which she threw on when they got to of bed
She chuckled at the thought as she went through the box with her clothes in to find something comfortable to wear during the journey then went to get changed. Marco told her that he was going to start put their things in the car and that Jess said they could stay at their place,he had a set of spare in the apartment in cases such as this. When Rosie came out she was wearing a pair grey Aztec print leggings, white t shirt although you could see her black bra through it and a grey hoodie. She was putting her combat boots when Marco came back
" hey you ready to go? Im thinking if we leave now we should make it by like 8" he said looking at the clock, seeing it was close to midnight
" yeah I guess" she said as she felt get more and more tired although she felty bad for wanting to sleep on the ways there since he was driving,
" promise me you'll let me know if you start feeling sick or something hurts, even if its not baby related, ok?"he said worrying about her and the long journey, it was touching really
" I promise... What is this?" She said holding up one of his blankets and a pillow
" I thought that you be uncomfortable sleeping in the car so I thought this might help, plus i took your iPod out of your bag and hooked it up to my car so that way we could play the slow songs to help you sleep" he said watching her smile at him
" that was really sweet of you as was the bag of food and drinks in the back" she questioned him as they got into the car
" I thought you might get hungry or get a craving for something" he said panicking that he missed something that his pregnant girlfriend might need
" that was clever and handy in case you need sugar" she said as she fastened her seat belt around her stomach which wasn't as flat as it used to be, no one but her could tell
With that Marco began to drive to Creekwood where they grew up, just outside of New York. Rosie decided to sleep due to the amount of urging from Marco who knew she would need all the sleep she could get so she took of her boots and curled up in the car seat with the blanket covering her. Marco would never admit this to anyone, maybe to her, but he loved to watch her sleep she always looked so peaceful. It was close to 7 when she finally woke up with a certain alertness, as of someone had just shocked her. Her breathing was shaky
" hey Rosie, you ok?" He said reaching over to gently stroke her hair with his hands, hoping it would soothe her a little
" yeah... I just has a bad dream that's all" she sad leaning on his hand as he continued to stroke it
" want to talk about it?" He said passing the famous creek, that ran right though the whole town
" it was nothing, I'm ok really although I'm a little hungry" she said digging into the bag of food and drinks bag, eventually getting two bottles of water for her and Marco as well as a jar of peanut butter and a bag of Oreos
" I remembered you used to love them in high school so I thought why not" he explaining the weird food choice to her as he took a sip of his water
" I love it, how far away are we?" She said thinking that they weren't that far away for the town square
" about ten minutes away, I managed to take a couple of shortcut and we didn't make as many pit stops as I thought we would have to" he said watching the scenery from their shared past by them
" that's because I was asleep therefore didn't need to throw up or need the bathroom, now the subject I'm really glad this doesn't trigger my morning sickness" she said whole scooping more peanut butter onto an Oreo
"So want me to drop us of at Jess's place then our parents? That way we can shower and get changed?" He said entering the town square, nothing ever changed in Creekwood
" yeah my mom would have a fit if she saw me like this" she said hinting towards her current outfit of choice
Five minutes later they were coming out of the car which park in Jess's drive way, Marco gave Rosie the key to open the door as he said he would get their stuff out of the car. As she stepped into the house the first time she was struck by how homey and beautiful it felt.
" I'm going to put these in the guest bedroom ok?" He said as he went pass her, she followed partly because she really wanted a shower and partly because she wanted to see move
"This place is amazing" she said as she followed him to the guest bedroom was a pink beige colour, feminine but at the same time not
" yeah Jess decorated it all while she was pregnant, it was part of her whole nesting thing. Oh the joy" he said realising that they had all of that to look forward to
" you make her sound like a bird" she said opening her case and picking a cream spotted dress which matched her brown leather boots perfectly, something her mother would approve of
An hour later they were dressed in things that their parents would expect of them, at this point they would do anything to soften them up for the blow. Since Rosie's was the closest to Jess's house Marco decided to drop her off first, they decided to tell their parent separately as a way of lowing the risks of someone being punching. Although Marco made her promise to phone him once she wanted him to pick her up, as he drove away with one last kiss of assurances Rosie couldn't help but walk down memory lane as she walked up the path to her childhood home. As she opened the door she could smell her mothers pancakes as well as some bacon. Uh oh!
" mom! Dad! It's me Rosie!" She shouted so everyone could hear her which they did since they were hugging her to the point she couldn't breath
" Rosie sweetie what are you doing here?" Her mom said ushering her into the kitchen where the smell of bacon got stronger
"I figured I needed a couple of days away from the city so why not come here" she smoothly lied, well withheld the truth
" that's good, do you want some breakfast? Why am I even asking of course you do" her mom said as she placed a plate full of bacon and only two pancakes, she decided not to breath through her mouth
" so how's business going?" Her dad said as he putting down his paper to talk to her about her food truck, he always liked the idea where her mom took so some amount of convincing
" it's great, we are busy all the time and our lines are huge" she said trying to be polite as she could while she was trying not to be sick
" sweetie you aren't eating your breakfast, you know you can't really afford not to eat you're too skinny" her mom said not knowing that was all going to change over the course of her pregnancy
" mom I'm fine really" she sad trying to convince them to let it go but knowing them that was the last thing they would do, they wouldn't stop till she eat it all
" sweetie listen to your mother, she knows best" her dad said kissing her head as he made his way towards the alluring coffee pot, she couldn't help but think how wrong he was
" ok...fine I'll eat it" she said hoping it was just the smell that made her sick and not the taste, how she wrong she was
As soon as the bacon hit her tongue her stomach gave a massive heave she threw the bacon down while running to the ever familiar bathroom. Her parent still downstairs who could hear her being sick were puzzled by her reaction to back, she used to love it, they tried to work it out but failed to find an appropriate answer. When she came downstairs she took a drink from the water her mom left out for her, thinking she would need it after being sick
"Rose are you hung over? Is that why you're sick? Did you drink to much?" She said in such a motherly tone, she made Rosie wish that was all it was but yet again she had to disappoint them
" no mom I wasn't drinking last night" she said softly as she wondered if there was some book out there that gave advice about giving out this kinda of news because she still didn't know how and this was her fifth or sixth time breaking the news
" then what is it? Sweetie you know you can tell us anything we won't be mad" her dad said hoping that he could keep his word depending on whatever her reason was
" Im pregnant!" She blurted out hoping that was correct method to say it, she could practically hear her parents's begin to minds spin and form several different questions,one of them being...
" who's the father?!" Her dad asked angry, already hating the guy for knocking up his little girl
" it's Marco Tate from high school" she said looking at her dad to see any hint of what he was planning on doing next
" I'm going to kill him!" He said making his way to the door as Rosie quickly, or quickly as she could without being sick, after him
A/n: so a couple of things I'm not sure if Creekwood is a real place, if it is then im sorry if anything i say is incorrect or offensive. Also I'm not sure if Tate is Marco's second name, if anyone knows it them pm. Let me know what you think by reviewing or pming me, I'd love to hear what you think good or bad, also let me know of any suggestion you have.
