Hey. I just realized my chapters are messed up. I'm sorry. This is chapter twelve. Hope you enjoy. Read and Review please. I would love to get at least ten reviews, but I'll still write without them. Anyways, I don't own the covenant, and enjoy this chapter.
"So you're sure you're going to be ok?" Steph was looking intensely at Beth.
"I'll be fine. You worry too much," she said with a laugh.
"Call if you need ANYTHING. I'll be here in two minutes. Promise."
"Ok, now go. The doctor said I couldn't overdo it, and I'm really tired. Go hang out with Reid." Beth could tell this is what Steph wanted. She wasn't the kind of person to be cooped up for long.
"Ok, but remember, call me."
"Ok, good bye." Steph smiled and stepped out the door as Tyler walked in.
"Call me if you need help, because I know she won't."
"Ok, thanks," he said with a smile because he knew she was right. After the door swung closed, Beth sat up. "Hey, what'd you bring me?"
"Your prescription, soup, Seven Up, Sprite, and about thirty magazines. You're not getting up for a while."
"WHAT! I sincerely hope you don't think you are gonna keep me here, because it's not going to work."
"Yes I am, because you need to rest."
"For a couple hours, not days," she said looking dumbfounded. If this was how he was after just finding out, she couldn't imagine how he would behave when she started getting sore because of her pregnancy. "Really, I'm fine. I just need a bit of sleep."
"Yeah, you can sleep til tomorrow. You're not getting up." He had a weird look on his face. He had no idea how to take care of his pregnant girlfriend so apparently in his mind, forced bed rest was the way to go.
Beth almost laughed. "Tyler, I'm sorry but I am not staying here until tomorrow. I need to get up and move, we have classes, and I refuse to stay here. Besides," she added since he looked like he was about to protest. "Women need exercise to keep themselves healthy and strong for the baby."
"I…" he stopped. He couldn't think of a counter. "Fine," he finally complied.
"Thank you," she said as she walked over to her dresser.
"What do you want to do," he asked.
"Sleep," she said with a grin. He glared at her. They had just argued over this.
"You are so annoying sometimes," he said.
"You're very fun to annoy," she said as she lay back down. She buried herself under the covers and pulled a pillow over her head. Tyler sat down and watched her. About five minutes later, he heard her breathing slow. "What am I gonna do with you," he asked as she rolled and he took the pillow off her head. She smiled in her sleep and he silently prayed things would work out.
Reid's p.o.v.
"So, she's gonna be ok, she's just tired." He was sitting in Beth and Steph's dorm, watching Steph pull her hair into a ponytail. She had just gotten back from his and Tyler's dorm.
"I probably would be too if I'd puked like that."
"Yeah, but Tyler
looked like he had it under control."
"Yeah, he's always
been the motherly, girly, pussy of the group," he said with a
smirk.
"Well that's lovely. I wonder what you say about me." She said with a smile as she turned around.
He got up and walked over to her. "I say that you're hot, sexy, and mine." He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I also say that I want you with me all the time." She ran her hands up his sides under his shirt. He smiled, and picked her up and threw her on the bed. He climbed on top of her before smothering her lips with his. "Just a quickie before I go to practice?" he smirked while she smiled at him.
"Fine, but only because I won't see you until tonight." He laughed as he slid down her body, unsnapping her jeans as she went.
"Oh God, move," cried Beth as she shot to the bathroom. She leaned over the toilet and emptied her stomach. Tyler rushed in after her, but she pushed him away. Just because she was suffering didn't mean he had to too. Tyler wasn't having it though.
"I know you're puking your guts out right now, but I'm not afraid to use force on you. Move your hands," he said as he wet a rag and bent to place it on her forehead. She leaned sideways on the edge of the seat and he wiped her forehead. She sighed and leaned into its coolness. She looked up at Tyler's concerned face and smiled a little. It reminded her of her dad when she was little and sick like this. Well, not this exact cause, but throwing up everything that went down. She stood up on shaky legs and he helped her back to the bed. She sat down and she leaned up against the pillows. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The pills had help a little, but it was still pretty bad.
"Are you alright," he asked hovering over her.
"I'm ok. My throats just kinda sore. I'll be ok though," she added as he frowned. "See, I'm fine," she said as she smiled a big, fake, cheesy grin.
"Yeah, ok," he said skeptically. He walked over to the mini fridge and leaned over. He pulled out an ice cold Cream Soda. She thanked him as he handed it over. She popped the tab and drank greedily. After she was done, she set the can down and looked at Tyler.
"So, I was thinking about something last night."
"What," he asked as he cocked his head to the side.
"Your brothers."
"Gee, thanks," he said sarcastically. As it happened, he had been rubbing her back and stomach last night and she had been all flustered. Guess he knew why now.
"Will you let me finish," she asked in an equally sarcastic voice as she bounced like an excited little kid and her answer depended on if he said yes or no.
"Sorry, you paused and I thought you were and it's not the best thing to tell your boyfriend that you were thinking about his brothers. Just a helpful tip."
"Well if you had listened you would know that I was thinking about your brothers… and my family. I think that we should tell them. I know you said you wanted to wait, but they're not stupid. And I am NOT getting an abortion. They'll notice if I'm getting huge… or just not around," she added softly looking at the comforter. She knew he said he loved her, but she couldn't ruin his future as well as her own. She couldn't do that to him regardless of the situation.
He lifted her chin up and looked her dead in the eye. "I think they'd notice if I wasn't here either." She looked confused. "If you go, I go," he explained as he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "I'd hate to be away from the guys, but I definitely think you are worth it. She smiled for a second before her face fell and she burst into tears. Tyler looked horrified at what he had made her do. "What's wrong? Beth, please tell me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," he rushed, even though he had no idea what exactly had opened the flood gates.
She buried her head under the covers and curled up. He heard a muffled "Yes you did. And it's not true." He pulled back the covers and she turned away.
"All I said was that you're worth it."
"That's just it. I'm not worth it. I'm not worth you losing your future, and friends for any amount of time. I'm not worth your time in general."
He threw his hands up in exasperation. "Good God woman, you're not serious are you." He couldn't believe what he'd just heard.
"I'm dead serious. You don't have to stay just because I'm pregnant."
"I thought you were smarter than that. I am NOT staying just for the baby. I'm staying because I love you. Don't ever say that again. I'm serious. I never want those words to leave your mouth ever again; I don't care what anyone tells you." She looked up at him through red and slightly puffy eyes. He leaned in and held her in his arms. He picked up the edge of the blanket and wrapped her in it. Then he leaned down and lay down beside her. She snuggled in as close as was possible. He stroked her hair and she smiled.
"So, you want to tell your family, I think that'd be great. I'd love to meet them. And if you want to tell the guys its fine. You don't even have to do it, I will."
"I'd still have to face them sooner or later."
"I'll threaten to beat their asses if they mess with you about it."
"It's not teasing I'm worried about, not from them anyways. It's more that they'll think worse of me. I've only been here a couple of months."
"They won't think down on you. If anything, they'll probably blame me and comfort you." She smiled at this.
"Oh yeah, I can totally see Reid being all sweet and nice." Tyler laughed at that.
"He might deny it
with all he's got, but he's really a nice guy. And he'd be all
warm and gooey over a baby." He leaned in and staged whispered,
"I've seen it."
"What?! You lie. There's no way that
Mr. big shot bad-ass would coo over a baby." She looked skeptical.
"I'm dead serious. A friend of ours' mom had a baby about three years ago and he was over there playing with her all the time. When she was two, and if you repeat it, then I will most likely be beat to a pulp, he even had a tea party with her."
"Really," she giggled.
"Yeah, but we were all there for that one."
"Oh, I am so sorry I missed that one. I bet you looked pretty sexy sitting there sipping tea with your pinky in the air."
"Laugh it up, get it all out," he said, willing to be the martyr if it stopped her tears. She did look a little happier.
"Anyways, you said you wanted to tell your family. When would you want to go see them? Soon, or wait a while."
"I think soon. My dad is actually off this weekend. He's wanted me to visit even though it's only a couple of months until summer. Would that be ok?"
"Yeah, that's fine. Where does he live?"
"Not to far from here. About 45 minutes away."
"Well then, we'll go see him Saturday if that's ok."
"Yep, it's fine with me. I just have to call first." She took out her cell phone and hit the number 3 speed dial button. She waited, then her a voice on the other end on the third ring.
"Beth," Tyler heard someone scream on the other end. He assumed it was one of her little sisters. She had told him all about her family about a week after 'the josh incident'. She had three little sisters, one brother only two years younger than her. She had used to be home schooled, but once she was 17 her father put her in public for, as he put it, "social interaction with peers of your own age." He was a bit weird. Anyways, her brother and sisters were home schooled also, and when he turned 17, her brother would also start at a regular school. Tyler jolted back to the present as he heard the girl on the other end yell "MOMMA, SISSY, SISSY, PACKY, COME HERE! IT'S BEFFY!" He smiled as she looked a little embarrassed at her sisters' nickname. Two were identical 5 year old twins and the other was 7 years old. None of them had been able to say Beth when they were little so it turned to "Beff," and then "Beffy" and it had just stuck for a few years afterwards. She hadn't minded in private, but with her boyfriend/father of her unborn child in the room, she turned red as he laughed quietly.
"Yeah, it's her, here listen. Beffy, say hi," demanded the voice.
"Hi," said Beth as she listened to the little girl say "See, I told you."
"Hi Beffy. It's Maddie again. Where are you? Are you still at school? When are you coming back? I lost a tooth. Now me and Haley aren't the same no mores. But," she whispered, "We're trying to get her tooth out so we are again. I got," she started but Beth cut her off.
"Maddie, where's mommy. I gotta ask her something."
"She's not here. I thought she was, but she wasn't. She went to get food for daddy. He's at work. But Matty and Shane are here with us. Beffy, Matty's said I was named after a boy cause he was born first and we have the same name." She sounded close to tears.
"What! You are not, his name is Matthew and it has t's in it. Your name is Maddison and has d's in it. Can I talk to him?"
"Will you get on to him," she sniffled.
"Yes I will, but I can't if someone doesn't give him the phone."
"Ok. Bye Beffy, I love you. Talk to you later." Tyler heard her scream "MATTY! Beth wants to talk to you! And you are in truh- bull." Beth laughed. That was something that she had taught the girls. She new it annoyed Matt.
"What'd I do," she heard him say before taking the phone. "Hey Beth. What's up?"
"Did you tell Maddie she was named after a boy? You know how sensitive she is. Why would you do that?"
He snickered. "It was funny. Besides, Shane was over and she wouldn't leave us alone. When are you coming back, he wants to see you," he said laughing. It was common knowledge that Shane had had a crush on Beth since she was 11.
"That's what I was calling about."
"Shane," he asked confused.
"No you dork, coming home this weekend. The only way I'd talk about Shane is if he grew about three feet and put on twenty pounds of muscle. Otherwise, no thanks. I'm good for now."
"Ouch, that's cold Beth. I've been trying to get you to go out with me since I was nine, and now that you're in school you go after the first guy with a cute face." She assumed Matt had put it on speaker phone because she heard him and Shane laughing.
"That is not true. You were the first cute one to come along." She looked at Tyler as he started stroking her hair. "I went after the second. And I didn't go after him; he came after me, with a big white smile and incredibly sexy hummer."
"What's his name? I'll kick his ass."
"Haha, I'd like to see you try. Matt, what are y'all doing this weekend."
"Nothing. You gonna come down?"
"Yeah guess so. What about tonight?"
"Same, mom and dad are out though. You could surprise them though. They've been whining about you coming back, said they might just have to come up their."
"Oh gosh, please no. What's mom's new cell number? I forgot it."
"Hang on, I'll send it to you." She waited a minute or two and then heard the beep alerting her she had a new message. She read it then said, "K. thanks, I'll call back in a little bit. Bye, tell the GIRLS I love them. Not Shane."
He laughed then said, "I know you're just dating other guys to get over me. You want me."
"Oh yeah, that's it," she said sarcastically before saying bye and hitting the end button.
"Who is Shane?" Tyler raised his eyebrows. "A friend of yours?"
"Maybe. Why, you jealous?"
"With you involved, hell yeah." He ran his hands over her waist line and ran a hand up under her shirt and sliding it up slowly. His other hand joined and she moaned into his shoulder. "Did he used to call you Beffy?"
"Ewww, don't say that anytime we are ever doing something like this. That is what my little sisters call me. You are sick," she said as she grimaced and turned away.
He was laughing at her. She smacked him in the arm. "Ok, I'm sorry," he said as he extracted his hands from her shirt and he asked. "Are we going tonight?"
"If you want to."
"Yeah, that's fine with me."
"Then hush," she said as she punched in her mother's number.
She answered on the first ring. "Hush Mike, its Beth. Hey sweetie, how have you been?"
"Great mom, umm I was calling to ask something."
"Of course, what is it?"
"Can I come down tonight?"
"It's kinda sudden. Will you be ok to drive?"
"Yeah, if it's ok, I won't be driving alone."
"What do you mean?"
"I was wondering if I could bring some friends."
"Yeah, you know we have the room. Just come on when ever you want to."
"K, great. I gotta pack some clothes, get a few things, and then we'll be on the way. It'll be a couple hours. I heard you were with dad. Don't rush, ok?"
"Alright, well we see you then. Bye bye sweet heart."
"Bye mom, tell dad I love him." She hung up the phone.
"She said that it's ok. Do you want it to just be us, or do you wanna take the guys?"
"We can all go. Will you have room?"
She laughed at a joke he didn't know. "I think we will, but we have to call and see if they wanna go."
*************************************************
About an hour later, they were sitting in the car. Still. It had taken Sarah and Kate forever to pack. Beth was excited because she was driving. Reid had objected at first, but was over ruled by the fact that Beth was the only one who knew the way (Steph had moved before they got this house).
Tyler was sitting beside her looking nervous. This was one of his favorite things.
"Oh, would you guys relax. I'm a good driver."
"She really is," chimed in Stephani. "Once we drove all the way to Forks, Washington for this Twilight road trip in her jeep with three other people and we were all yelling and singing and we were perfectly fine."
"I trust her it's just, I don't even like Reid driving and I've known him longer."
Without taking her eyes off the road she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "But I think I've done more to earn it."
He shivered and she leaned back laughing. He looked tight and uncomfortable all of a sudden. Sarah, who was also sitting up front noticed and laughed.
"Shut up Sarah, or I'm pretty sure I could do the same to you sweetie. After that night, I know some spots that make you scream," he whispered in her ear. Caleb was the only one who knew what exactly she had done. She blushed scarlet. Beth just patted her on the shoulder and mouthed 'watch this'. She slowly inched her hand over to his manhood and squeezed him through his loose jeans. He hissed and looked over at her like she was crazy. She slowly started massaging him and he bit back a groan. Sarah caught her eye and started laughing silently. Tyler was quickly growing larger. He was fixing to grab her hand, so Beth pulled back. She watched in amusement at the look on his face. It was at that moment that she heard a moan that didn't come from Tyler. Looking up in the rear view, she almost ran off the road.
"Beth, what's wrong. Careful with the hummer please," he said as the others looked up in shock.
She said "Reid and Steph just disappeared!" they all turned around. Then they heard the moaning again, a little louder now. Caleb scaled the seat and next minute was saying "OH MY GOD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WE ARE ALMOST THERE AND YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS NOW! WHAT THE FUCK!"
"What, what is it man," asked Pogue as Caleb climbed back into his seat looking disgusted. Beth thought she had a pretty good idea what it was as she saw Reid's head pop out from the very back where the clothes were.
"I look back there, and Reid's was trying to shove his cock somewhere it shouldn't be while in a car, especially with other people."
"OH, EWWW. STEPHANI! Are you serious? That is so gross," complained Beth. Sarah, Kate, Pogue, and Tyler were all laughing at this.
"Not a word to your parents Beth," said Steph in a worried tone as she too popped up.
"Well, you're in luck. They aren't home. I think, I don't know though, I can't see." They all looked up at her words as she pulled up to a massive house. There was even a small guard gate to go through. The property was surrounded by tall hedges. Tyler raised his eyebrows.
"We like our privacy," Beth supplied.
"I noticed."
"Just drive in the gate ok," she said before hopping out and not even waiting for a reply. She walked up to a small box on the side of the column supporting the gate.
She hit the call button. "Hey, let us in." she prayed someone would open it soon. It was hot today.
"Well, well, well. What have we here," she heard a voice and turned. She had called and told them she'd be here soon. Shane was standing on the inside of the gate looking smug. "It seems the fair maiden is in need of my assistance."
"Just open the gate jerk off."
"Say please. And give me a kiss."
"Ummm… NO!"
"Well, then I don't think I'll be able to find the button. Sorry."
"I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND MY FOOT ONCE I SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!"
"I wanna watch you work for it." He waggled his eyebrows.
She smiled at him. "Ok, fair enough." She turned and walked back to the car. She poked her head in Kate's window. "Steph, get out for a minute." Steph climbed out the back and said "What do you want." The back was still open so everyone heard her answer.
"Your pants." There were wolf whistles from the front.
"What, no way. I am not flashing Shane."
"No, I need them because I'm in a skirt and need to climb."
"If it'll get us in, just give 'em to her," said Reid smiling.
"Fine." The girls stood at the back of the hummer and slid there pants/skirt off. All the guys pointedly looked forward. After the exchange was made, Beth started back to the gate when Tyler got out.
"There is no way you are climbing that."
"Yeah, I am. It's no big deal. I've climbed trees bigger than this."
"I don't like it."
"Sorry, I want to baby boy." They walked to the gate again. Shane stepped back a bit at the sight of Tyler, glad for the bars.
"He's not gonna hurt you."
"Yet," Tyler muttered.
"Just give me a boost please," she said. He squatted and made a stirrup with his hand. "Whoa," she cried as he stood up. It was a fifteen foot column. With his height and hers, she was at the top. She scrambled on top of it sat down.
"Whatcha doin Beth," Shane asked from below as she pulled off her sandals.
"This," she replied and launched them at his head.
"Ow, that hurt dude." She snickered as she grabbed onto the wrought iron gate. There was a pattern on them which made it easy to find footholds. She went down about eight feet, and then jumped back. She landed on her feet with a soft thud to applause from the truck. She bowed then hit the button. She smiled as Reid drove through to stop by them. "Wanna lift, oh masterful acrobatic woman and assistant.
"No," said Beth. She gave Tyler her shoes as he looked at her. She turned to the sunny, well trimmed gardens and lawn. "I have to rub Shane in the dirt."
"Suit yourself," Tyler said as he climbed in.
"Just follow the path Reid. I'll be waiting for you guys there."
"Your prey just escaped," he stated.
"I know, I wanted him to have a head start. I gotta go now," and with that she took off after him. The windows were down so they could here her shout "Hey Shane lets try and find your face." Reid turned to stare at Tyler and Beth. "That is your girlfriend and your best friend," and he started to drive. True to her word, she was waiting for them and she had her knee on his back and a hand on his face, shoving it down in the grass. She let him up as they climbed out.
"I let you do that," he said.
"Uh-huh, just like last thanksgiving when I beat you up and your mom cheered me on."
"Shut up," he said and they smiled. Steph then ran up and tackled him. "Don't forget: I helped." He climbed up. "Nice to see you too Steph. By the way, love the pink bunny panties."
"Shut up Shane." At that moment the rest of the group came up while the door opened.
"Beffy," three girls screamed. If Tyler hadn't been right behind her, when they tackled her legs in hugs, she would have fallen over. There was instant chatter as they all strived for her attention and Matt came down the steps. "Hey sis," he said as he hugged her. "Hey babe, how are the girls treating you," she replied as the children in question let go of her. They had just noticed the four extremely huge male strangers.
"Girls, these are my friends Kate, Sarah, Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler. And y'all know Steph." She was instantly showed the same affection. After the guys shook hands with Matt and Shane (grimacing in pain as Tyler gave him an extra hard squeeze,) Beth introduced her sisters, and Steph gave Matt a hug, they all just stood there awkwardly.
"Mom and dad should be back soon, so if you guys want to just come inside, we'll get you settled in."
"Beth, have you still got clothes here," asked Sarah.
"Yeah, I just randomly packed some when I left for Spencer. That's kinda why my bag is half empty. I have more here"
"I want to see your closet." They all laughed.
"Ok, but no make over's until after I get food. I'm starved." They all went inside and Beth really hoped the trip was going to go well now that everyone was comfortable. It was just too bad she'd have to shatter the peace with hers' and Tyler's news.
Ok, sorry it's been a while. I've been babysitting a few more kids, so bye bye free time. Heads up, there will probably be a lemon in the next chapter. Heads higher up, it will probably be with more than one couple. Betcha you can't guess who it will be (sarcasm). Oh well, I'll write more soon. Anyways, I'm down on my fanfic knees, please read and REVIEW. I love hearing from you guys. It's like a skittle in an M&M's bag. An awesome surprise. TTFN and asta lasagna
