Here's another update of What You're Worth.
Thanks to the readers and reviewers once again.
I own Garrett, Rosalyn, Bailey, Phoebe, Mason, Lily, Eric and Tommy.
This chapter is quite short, but the chapter I post tomorrow will be longer and the drama will continue...
Ted and Cody both headed over to the DiBiase house when their wives revealed the outcome of Rosalyn's pregnancy test. They couldn't ignore the results. Now that they knew she was pregnant, the bigger question was who the father was.
Rosalyn was hiding out in her bedroom. She occasionally heard raised voices downstairs and knew that they were discussing how to deal with the issue of her pregnancy. The blonde had never imagined herself as a mother, which seemed strange. If only she had Garrett to lean on, but he wasn't likely to stick around when he found that she might be expecting Tommy's baby. It was all her own fault for pursuing the young Cena.
A knock on the door made her groan, because she had no desire to see anyone right now. The door slowly opened and the blonde hid her head under the bed covers in a pathetic attempt to become invisible. The person walked over and sat on the bed next to her.
"Hey Rosalyn." Her brother said quietly.
"Eric?" she frowned. Since when did her younger brother come and see her?
"I'm guessing you're hiding from those guys downstairs?" he raised a brow.
"Do you ever wish you were invisible?" Rosalyn asked him.
"No. It would be cool though." Eric replied.
"I'm hungry, but I don't want to go downstairs and see them." The blonde pouted.
"Pregnant women like chocolate, right?" Eric asked her.
"How did you know?" Rosalyn gasped.
"It's not normal to puke up every morning." He replied.
"Don't tell anyone." His sister pleaded.
"I won't. Now are you hungry or not?" he asked her.
"Starving." The blonde nodded.
"Here." Eric smiled and handed her a chocolate bar.
"Where've you been hiding this?" the blonde frowned.
"I bought it today from the vending machine at school." Eric replied.
"Mm, nice." Rosalyn nodded as she bit into the chocolate.
Eric could be really cool sometimes. At one point he used to prank her almost every day. She thought that he looked like their dad more now considering he had always looked more like their mother. Rosalyn was always kind of glad that the two families were so close. She and Garrett were close in age, as were Lily and Eric. Mason was only a year younger than her, so really they were never alone or stuck for anybody to hang out with.
"Why are they arguing about this when it's your choice?" Eric asked her suddenly.
"Good question." She mumbled as she ate the chocolate.
"I hope you do what's best for you." Her brother told her.
"Thanks Eric." The blonde smiled.
"For what it's worth, I hope it's Garrett's." he added as he walked out of the room.
"Me too." Rosalyn replied sadly.
Garrett was in his car on the way to see Rosalyn. Something wasn't right with her at the moment and he needed to know why. After all, he wanted to protect her and care for her. As his red Honda pulled into the driveway he frowned at the sight of his dad's car there too. The young man got out of the car and walked towards the front door. As he got nearer he could hear raised voices. Curiously, he listened in.
"I care about protecting my daughter." Ted was saying.
"What are we supposed to say to Garrett?" Phoebe asked.
"Maybe that's not a good idea right now." Ted replied.
"I agree. She's been through enough already." Bailey said.
"It's all going to come out. We have to realise that it might not be Garrett's." Cody sighed.
"She won't want to keep Tommy's baby." Bailey added.
"Should we do a DNA test before the baby's born? Phoebe asked.
"Maybe we should talk to Rosalyn." Bailey said.
"I agree. It's her choice." Ted nodded.
"But you already admit that she may be too fragile to make the choice." Phoebe replied.
"I think we should take a break." Cody nodded and turned around to see his son standing there.
"Garrett, how long have you been…?" Cody's eyes widened.
"She's pregnant." Garrett said. It was as if everything fell into place.
"Yes, she took a test today." Bailey confirmed.
Before anyone could say anything else, Garrett ran up the stairs and began knocking on Rosalyn's bedroom door. She knew it was him and she didn't know how to react. He must know the truth. The next thing Rosalyn knew, he had opened the door and ran over to her. He sat on the bed and took her in his arms. Garrett kissed her head tenderly as she curled up in his lap. Ted came upstairs and glanced into the room. He pulled the door closed, deciding to leave them to talk for a while.
"When did you know?" Garrett asked after a few minutes.
"I only found out everything today." Rosalyn replied.
"Do you think it might be Tommy's baby?" he asked her, fighting the lump in his throat.
"I honestly don't know." The blonde shook her head.
"I'm here for you, completely." Garrett told her.
"I hope that it's yours." Rosalyn sniffed back tears.
"I said I love you, that won't go away." He told her.
"I'm scared." The blonde admitted.
"Of being pregnant or of the baby not being mine?" Garrett asked her.
"Both. What if I can't do it?" Rosalyn asked him.
"Rosalyn DiBiase, I know that you can do anything you want to do." He told her.
"Will you stay with me?" she asked.
"Of course I will." Garrett nodded as he lay down on the bed next to her.
