So, I was watching 16 and Pregnant with one of my nieces when this little story popped into my head. It's my first story so be easy on me but make sure to tell me what you think. :D You'll notice that all the girls are from Washington, I know that's not how it is in the show but I made it that way for a reason. You'll learn why in a couple chapters. :) So, without further ado, Read on.

Rosalie
35 weeks pregnant
"Where are you going?" Mom asked as I struggled to put on my shoes.
I suppressed my huff, "I'm going to meet up with Jacob."
"In California? I don't think so Rosalie."
"Will you relax?" I said, rolling my eyes. "He came down here to visit his grandparents for the weekend."
"Oh," she calmed down. "Will you two work it out?"
"Probably not." I said. "I won't kill him though, so don't worry."
"I think you should bring him home for dinner," Mom added. "He needs an adult's perspective on things."
"Ha, no." I said. "I'll be home later tonight."
"What time?"
I shrugged and grabbed my car keys.
I met Jacob at Pacific grill, my favorite restaurant. I figured since he'd be getting on my last nerves, the least he could do was buy me my favorite meal.
And you damn well better believe It was the most expensive thing they have.
Jake looked good, fuck he looked amazing but he always has. It's one of the things that attractive me to him in the first place. Ladies, you should see his abs, they're the best.
"Rosalie," Jacob nodded, politely, when I took a seat across from him.
"Jake," I said.
"How have you been?"
"Do you really care?" I asked.
"I see your attitude hasn't change a bit."
"Nope," I said. "Not at all."
"Nice."
"Did you expect pregnancy to make me this super nice woman or something?" I asked with a snort. "It might've had you not left me the day you found out."
Jacob grimaced.
I could tell he was uncomfortable.
Good.
"Look, it was a coincidence. I was planning to tell you I was leaving that day anyway...and then you just sprung the...the...pregnancy news on me."
"You act like I planned this."
"Well..."
"Fuck you," I snapped. "I didn't want to become a teenage mother. I still had plans to go to college, have fun. Not to mention the fact that I wanted to keep my body the way it was."
"Is it even mine?" he boldly asked.
"Fuck you," was my response once again. "I was always faithful to you."
"You do have a reputation."
"Ask any motherfucking guy I went out with," I snapped. "When I'm with you, I'm with only you. Not your friend, not your neighbor, just you..."
I don't know who even started those rumors but I had half a mind to track down that person and beat them to a pulp.
"Damn, no need to get angry," Jacob laughed. "Is it weird that I still think you're hot when angry?"
The corner of my mouth twitched, "I'm always hot."
He laughed.
"I missed you, Jake," I said, quietly. "And I hate that you just left me like that...left your child like that."
The smile fell from his face, "I miss you too, Rose. I had a lot on my mind, okay? I was scared shitless."
"You don't think I was?" I asked. "I had no one."
"You had your mom."
"No, I didn't tell her," I sighed. "Not right away. I was like three months, already starting to show and she found out herself."
"Why wouldn't you tell her?"
"Because I was scared," I said. "I'm such a fuck up as a daughter. One more thing and I felt like she'd just chuck me to the curb."
"But she didn't."
"She wanted too," I said. "Not that I blame her."
"You and your mom never got along," Jake said. "I don't understand why either. She cares about you a lot and you...you're just a bitch to her."
"I can't control my temper," I shrugged. "According to my mom, I got that from my sperm donor."
"I bet."
"But this isn't about my mom, or even my temper," I said, moving things back to the conversation at hand. "This is about you being an asshole."
"I don't know what you want me to say."
"How about, 'I'm sorry, Rose. I'll be here from now on'? That seems like a good place to start."
"I'm sorry," he said. "But I don't think I can do this."
"Why'd you call me then?" I asked, trying to hide my tears. "What was the point?"
"I just wanted to apologize."
"But you aren't changing anything!" I yelled.
"Will you keep it down," Jake hissed.
"No." I snapped. "You're an asshole. People think that you're perfect but you're not...far from it. One day, you'll look back and fucking regret this."
With that, I grabbed my things and stormed out of the restaurant.
Fucking douche bag.
"Rose, wait," Jacob yelled as he followed me out.
"Why?" I asked.
"I'm sorry."
"You can say it all you want, it doesn't mean that you actually mean it," I said, unlocking my car.
"I have a scholarship to..."
"I don't care," I snapped, facing him. "I don't care how many scholarships you have or what you have to do in your future. Mine is ruined thanks to you. And you can't even man up...So fuck off. Enjoy your wonderful life, okay? Me and your son won't be a part of it, at all. And you'll miss out."
I climbed into my car and quickly sped away, fighting my tears the whole time.
This is why I don't get close to people.
They always fucking leave you.
Ugh!
I made it home by six thirty but stayed in my car, crying until well after seven thirty.
My mom was the one who finally came out to see if I was okay.
"Rose?" she asked, tapping on the window.
"What?" I sniffled.
"Oh, honey," she pulled open the door and pulled me into her arms. "What happened?"
"Nothing," I said. "Nothing."
"Rose, you'll feel better if you let it out."
"Not really," I said, dryly. But I told her what happened anyway. "Jake still doesn't want any part of this. He has a life to live and he can't be hindered by a kid."
"He's an asshole," mom said, making me laugh. "You don't need him, just like I didn't need your father. You can do this Rosalie."
"That's not the same thing you've been saying for the last seven months."
She sighed, "I had to come to terms with the fact that you will keep Grayson. Now, It's time to be your cheerleader."
I smiled a bit.
I guess my mom could be nice when she wanted to be.
After moving my pity party into the house, and eating a couple gallons of ice cream, I felt better.
Fuck, Jake. I could do this on my own. I wouldn't be the first girl to have to go through it.
And I definitely wouldn't be the last.
Of course, just when I was feeling like my normal self, Jacob had to pop my bubble by calling me.
I didn't answer the first call, or even the second or third call, but by the forth call I was getting annoyed so I picked up.
"Can I help you?" I asked, harshly.
"You haven't been answering my calls."
"No shit," I snapped. "That usually means someone doesn't want to talk to you."
"I get that..." Jake sighed. "I just...don't hate me."
"Oh, of course I don't hate you," I said, sarcastically. "Never could. In fact you're one of my favorite people right now."
"Ha," he sighed. "We're really having a boy?"
"I'm having a boy," I corrected.
"Right, right." he said. "Did you think of any names?"
"Why do you care?"
"I was just wondering..."
"Grayson," I said. "I'm naming him Grayson."
"That's cute," he said. "Grayson."
"Yeah, it is."
"Have you...have you thought about adoption?" Jake asked, bursting my bubble.
Just when I think he actually might be coming around, he has to make me mad.
"No."
"Why? It's good, we could make a family happy." Jake continued. "They have open adoption so we could get pictures and stuff...even visits occasionally."
"I'm not letting someone else raise my child," I snapped. "I'm the one Grayson will call mom, I'm the one who will see his first steps...not someone I don't trust, or even know."
"My aunt is looking to adopt,"
"Ha, double no."
His aunt hates me.
"I have to go, okay? Stop calling because it's stressing me out and that's not good for my child."
"Rose wait..."
"Don't worry, you won't be put on the birth certificate or even summoned for child support. Goodbye."
I hung up on him and then turned my phone off for extra measure.
Only to turn it back on so I could send a text to Vera and Tanya, asking them to come over.
My girls rushed over as soon as they could and brought food with them. We pigged out in my room while I told them about my meeting with Jacob.
They agreed with me that he was being an asshole and said that I needed to forget about him.
And what's the best way to forget about something? Yeah, getting drunk but since I'm unable to do that, we hit up a party instead.
Vera's friend's cousins, or whatever, was throwing a big summer bash and of course we were invited.
My mom didn't want me to go, but what's new? I went and had a great fucking time. I danced, hung out with my friends, and avoided the alcohol they were passing around.
I didn't go home that night. Instead, I spent it at Henry's house with Vera and Tanya. Henry's mom, was much like mine, and was being bitchy when we stumbled, or rather my drunk friends stumbled, into the house at two am.
She didn't kick us out though, which was good.
I crashed on the couch and was the first one up, it was about three thirty in the afternoon. I decided to head home and face my angry mother but she wasn't there, which was cool.
I showered and then rummaged through the fridge from food.
Of course, my mom just had to choose that minute to come home. Thankfully, she didn't say anything to me. She just went about her business while I went about mine.
37 weeks pregnant
Jacob went back to California without talking to me again.
I expected that. However, I didn't really want that. I wanted him to suddenly see the light and decide to be here for me but he didn't.
I want to forget about him and move on with my life but I knew that wouldn't be possible. After all, I'd always have a part of him.
Today my mom was throwing me a baby shower, and despite being down about Jake's leaving yet again, I put on a happy face.
Although, it wasn't hard to pretend to be happy when I had my friends surrounding me. They always knew how to cheer me up.
Some of my friends, the ones I haven't seen in a while, were shocked to see how big I got and naturally, they made fun of my baby bump.
"You're all belly," Stacey laughed, rubbing my bump.
"Yeah."
"It'll be easier to lose," she said. "When I had Kendra, I gained weight all over not just my tummy."
I was hoping she was right about that.
As the party progressed, I loosened up a lot more and actually started to enjoy myself.
"Okay, now, I want you all to take this and cut off as much string as you think you'd need to fit around Rose," Mom said, passing out the balls of string.
Tanya won in the end. I guess it wasn't that surprising considering she's been around me the most as I gained baby weight.
After we played a few games, we got to eat. My mom went all out for my baby shower and catered in lunch and had a cake professionally made. It all looked amazing.
"Is Jake coming?" Clarissa just had to ask.
"He moved," I said, not wanting to admit that he just abandoned me.
"I heard," she pressed. "But you think he'd come down for this."
"He'll be here for the birth," Courtney said, confidently.
"Jake won't be here for that either," My mom finally spoke. "He decided he doesn't want anything to do with Grayson."
"Wow, that's harsh," Courtney spoke first. "I mean...he was like in love with you."
"Not to mention he was always stuck up your ass," Stacey said.
"He just needs time," Clarissa said. "This is a lot to process."
"Is that why he moved?" Courtney asked.
"Probably," I said, moving my cake around my plate. "He's an asshole who wanted to escape the problem."
"I heard his dad was offered a better position at the company."
"Yeah, well he didn't have to go with," I said. "He could've stayed with his grandparents, or even here, if he really wanted too."
"His mom wouldn't let that happen."
Yeah, I knew that. Jake was her golden son who she never liked having out of her sights. She almost had a stroke when he brought me home.
"Dude, his parents don't even know Rose is pregnant."
"Seriously."
And just like that my baby shower went from fun to miserable in a matter of seconds.
While they continued to talk about why Jake hid this from his parents, and why he wasn't here now, I tuned them out and stuffed my face.
Only Vera and Tanya knew not to put in their two cents and tried to distract me.
When the baby shower finally rolled to a close, I was relieved. I said goodbye to everyone but Vera and Tanya and helped my mom clean up.
"That was fun," Mom said, smiling.
"Yeah, sure."
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing," I sighed. "I'm going to go out tonight, okay?"
"I wish you wouldn't."
"Yeah, I know." I laughed.
"Why don't you rest tonight?"
"Because I had a shitty day and I want to have fun," I snapped.
"Today wasn't bad."
"No, it was just perfect," I said, sarcastically. "I especially loved the part where everyone was talking about Jake and I."
Mom sighed, "Rose, they're your friends."
"Still, you didn't have to add fuel to the fire."
"I apologize but I still don't think you need to go out." she said.
"Goodnight, mom," I said, grabbing my purse.
"Rosalie!"
"Let's go," I ushered Vera and Tanya out of the house as quickly as possible.
Since there weren't any parties going on tonight, we chose to hit up a carnival that was in town. Of course, I couldn't go on any of the rides but it was fun nonetheless.
My girls definitely knew how to make sure I had a good time.
As we were walking back to Vera's car, getting ready to get some McDonalds, my phone rang.
I checked to see who it was, almost a hundred percent sure it was my mom, but instead I saw Jacob flashing across the screen.
"It's Jake."
Why does he always have to pop in when I'm starting to feel better about losing him? It's as if he has a radio for that shit.
"Answer it," Tanya said.
"You think I should?"
Vera nodded.
I sighed and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hey."
"What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing much," he said. "I was just calling to see how you were doing."
"I'm doing fine," I said. "I'm out with Vera and Tanya right now."
"Seriously?" he asked, surprised. "You're still partying even though you're pregnant?"
"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I have to stop."
"Yeah, it does."
He sounded angry and that made me angry. Who the fuck does he think he is? He wants no part of me and our baby so why does he think its okay to boss me around like this?
"You're an asshole."
"You're the asshole, Rose."
I gasped.
"You're having a child, grow the fuck up," he snapped.
"Excuse me! Take your own advice. I grew up the day I found out I was pregnant. What have you been doing?"
"I..."
"Goodbye, loose my fucking number!"
I hung up the phone.
"Wow," Tanya said, shaking her head.
"The nerve of that kid," Vera snorted. "I'll kick his ass if you want."
I laughed, "Thanks but I can still beat him down if I chose too."
I was still riled up thanks to Jake but I pushed my anger aside and continued on with my night of fun.
40 weeks pregnant
"This isn't working," I laughed as I continued to bounce on my mother's exercise ball.
My due date was three days ago and yet I still don't have my baby boy in my arms. My doctor said this sometimes happened and that if Grayson still didn't come out by Tuesday, I would have to be induced.
At home, Tanya and I read up on ways to induce labor naturally and I've been trying them.
I already tried a bumpy car ride, that only helped make me nauseous, I've also tried dancing, and now bouncing.
Still nothing.
Grayson was as stubborn as ever.
"Let's try squats."
I groaned and did squats with Tanya.
My mom and Demetri were laughing and after a while, I couldn't help but laugh along.
But in the end, nothing happened.
"Okay, let's try some visualization," Tanya laughed. "Picture your water breaking."
"Seriously?"
"Yup, that's what it says."
I closed my eyes and pictured my water breaking. Still nothing was happening and I started to pout.
"He's just not ready yet, Hun."
"I'm ready," I groaned.
More than ready.
"It says sex can induce labor," Tanya giggled. "Let's go find you a man."
"No," Mom said, scowling.
"How awkward would that be if your water broke when some dude was inside you?" Tanya continued with a laugh.
I laughed too.
That would be very awkward, and very weird too.
Eh, if you sleep with a heavily pregnant chick, you should probably prepare for the worst.
In the end, I didn't try that option out. Frankly, it was too much work and my mom was very much against it.
I grew tired after a while and decided I'd resume operation induction tomorrow morning.
I never had to try again in the morning because at exactly eleven thirty, while I was changing back into my pajamas, my water broke.
I had just put my pants on when the gush of liquid left me.
I froze, my eyes widening before I screamed out for my mom.
"Mom! Mom!"
"What?"
"My water broke,"
She appeared in the doorway in a split second.
"Alright, let's get you change first,"
I nodded, letting her lead me back to my room.
"It seems our efforts paid off," Tanya said, smiling. "He's coming."
He's coming...
Oh God
I wasn't ready for this.
Everything moved so fast, at least that's what it felt like. One minute, I'm on my way to the hospital, the next minute I'm in the hospital gown strapped to different machines.
~Three hours into labor~
The pain was intense.
I never actually thought about what the actual birth would be like, or even the hours leading up to the pushing.
But I didn't imagine I'd be in this much pain.
"Mom," I whimpered.
"I'm here, honey," she pushed my hair away from my face and kissed my forehead.
"It hurts."
"I know, baby."
I squeezed her hand and wished I was able to get the damn epidural.
~Six hours into labor~
The contractions were getting closer but it still wasn't time for me to push.
My mom told me that could take hours, as in longer than four.
That alone made me want to just get up and leave.
Fuck, I could keep my mind off the pain way better at home than I could here.
"Hey, girl," Vera smiled. "How you doing?"
"I want to leave," I said, honestly. "Did you come to spring me?"
She laughed, "You know it."
I sighed.
"How dilated are you?" Henry wondered.
"About three centimeters," I grumbled.
"Damn, really? Don't you have to be at a ten to push?" Henry asked.
"Yeah."
"Sucks to be you."
I glared at him, "Ass."
"Aw, you know I love you."
"I got an interesting call this morning," Vera said, yawning.
"Oh?"
"It was Jake."
That caught my attention.
"What did he want?"
She shrugged, "He wants me to ask you to call him."
"You were there last time we talked," I said. "I don't want to talk to him again."
"Why not?" my always nosy mother asked. "You should tell him you're in labor."
"Why?"
"He's coming around," Mom said. "You don't see it but I definitely do."
"Fuck..." I grunted as another contraction hit. "Ugh."
"You okay?"
I nodded. "Fine, I'll call him."
It was against my better judgment but I did it anyway.
"Hello."
"It's me."
"I've been trying to call you for the last two weeks," he said. "Look, I'm sorry about what I said. You're right...I had no business saying it."
"Ya think?" I breathed out through clenched cheeks. "Ow."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm in labor," I snapped. "I have been for the last four and a half hours."
"Oh, OH!"
"Yeah, so, my mom convinced me to call you to tell you that," I snapped. "Now that you know...Goodbye."
I hung up and tossed my phone back to my mother.
~9 hours into labor~
Before I knew it, I was given my epidural and it wasn't long after that, that I was allowed to push.
My mom and Tanya stayed in the room with me the whole time.
I thought the pushing part would be quick but it wasn't. It took an additional three hours before my little man finally came out.
I heard his cries fill the room and collapsed back against the bed.
"Oh, Rose," mom gasped as he was placed on my chest. "Look at him. He's gorgeous."
I looked down at Grayson.
He was screaming his little head off, his face bright red and scrunched up, and despite still being covered in blood, he was gorgeous.
"Oh," I smiled. "Hey, little man."

I have another story up. It's called Breaking Twilight. It's about a band (Edward, Bella, Emmett, Jasper, and Jake are in it). At first I wanted to do something just about living life as a celebrity but then as I started writing out their backstory (How they met) it became to long to do in flashbacks so I wrote them out as short chapters (Each chapter is 1500 words or more, sometimes less but it never gets under a thousand). It's all prewritten so you won't have to wait for updates.
REVIEW AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER STORY BREAKING TWILIGHT. :D
