Short chapter but never the less it's an update!
Maya was changing in the bathroom as she was looking at herself in the mirror.
Something was off about her. Her bra didn't fit anymore… Maya has never been bigger than a 36C. A decent size that she was happy with, but now her boobs were literally popping out of her bra.
"How could they possibly be getting bigger?" She asked herself.
"Maya are you almost ready?" Lucas asked from outside the door.
"Yea, just a minute please." She answered.
She put in her tank and the crop top quickly. The outfit was meant to bring attention to Maya's breasts to make them seem bigger but it just seemed like they were popping out of the shirt.
Maybe she was just being paranoid, they weren't getting bigger, she just wanted them to seem bigger. She ignored herself and exited the bathroom.
"Alright, lets go." Maya said grabbing her bag and walking out the door for school.
"Alright ladies, the dance competition is tomorrow so today is the last day to make any adjustments to our costumes. Just go try them on and let me see how they look please!" Leila requested.
One by one the girls let Leila look and make adjustments to their consumes.
The hip hop ones were all perfect since they wear the same style for ever hip hop dance, but the lyrical ones were different.
They were two piece costumes meant to emphasize the body and its curves.
Maya's fit near perfectly. No adjustments needed to be made at all.
"Maya, yours looks fantastic!" Leila exclaimed.
"Really?" Maya said looking at herself in the mirror.
"Actually yea! I was worried since you're the smallest one here that it wouldn't fit right."
"Well maybe I'm just that lucky." Maya said smiling at herself.
The dance competition was over in a flash. The team not only qualified for regionals again, but they placed first in the hip hop and lyrical division of the competition.
They lyrical dance was amazing. They story the girls told was amazing. Maya was the lead dancer.
It's was a love story between a girl and a boy who loved each other but were being torn apart by the best friend, but prevailed in the end.
The costumes did more then help tell the story, they made the story. They were two piece soft blue. It was a bustier too with fabric flowing all over it and a matching bottom skirt. Maya's costume was pink however because she was the lead dancer.
"You did amazing!" Lucas said picking Maya up and spinning her around. "Voted most outstanding in the whole competition too!"
"I try." Maya smiled. "And thank you." She said giving him a kiss.
"I am so proud of you!" He exclaimed.
A couple days later:
"Maya, we need to talk." Vanessa said as they sat down at Topanga's.
Maya was eating something so nasty that it's not even describable.
"Alright, shoot." Maya said.
"We've been noticing things."
"Like what?"
"Like this. Your eating whatever the hell that is." Vanessa said.
"So?"
"And your gaining weight." Leila said.
"And your mood is always changing." Vanessa said.
"Is this an intervention or something?" Maya asked.
"No. Maya, are you pregnant?" Vanessa whispered.
"What? No!" Maya instantly protested.
"How do you know? Have you taken a test?" Leila asked.
"No, I don't need to."
"Maya. We think you should…"
"But Lucas and I haven't had sex in forever."
"When was the last time?"
"I don't know." Maya shrugged.
"Maya."
"Fine. It was when we were stuck out in the middle of the ocean."
"Oooh, Maya and Lucas getting freaky in the ocean."
"Vanessa!" Maya gasped.
"What?" She chuckled.
"Maya, if you were out at sea you would've had no protection." Leila said.
Maya's face fell pale.
"Maya, you should take a test."
"Uh-uh okayy." Maya stuttered. "You'll go with me right?"
"If you want us to." Leila said.
"We'll be right by your side." Vanessa assured her.
The girls went to the store and Leila went in and bought the test for Maya. She was to nervous about getting odd looks.
They made their way to Lucas's house since Leslie is working today and Lucas has practice.
"Okayy, it says 3 minutes." Leila said starting the timer.
Maya was very silent for a long time.
"Maya, if it's positive this isn't the end of your life."
"I know that, but we're just Sophomores in HS. We can't have a baby now."
"Are you suggesting you'll get an abortion?" Vanessa said.
"I don't know." Maya said.
"How about you figure that out after the test is done." Leila interjected.
DING
"Are you ready?" Leila asked.
"No." Maya said getting up.
She moved to the counter as Leila and Vanessa just sat there.
"It's um-" Maya was shaking and stuttering her words. "Uh, um, it's p-positive." She whispered.
Leila's heart dropped for her.
"Oh Maya." Leila said getting up to hug her.
Maya started shaking.
"He's gonna be mad at me." She cried.
"No Honey, he's not."
"He'll leave, they'll kick me out."
"No they won't. They love you." Leila tried to calm her.
"Vanessa, tell her."
"Maya Lucas loves you. There's no way he'll leave you alone in this, but if it happens that he does then Leila and I are right here for you to fall back on."
Maya just clung to Leila.
Leila and Vanessa had to leave due to family dinners and such but they left Maya in good condition. She was strong and she was going to tell Lucas with no fear.
Her phone started ringing. It was Lucas. Maya pulled herself together before answering.
"Hello?"
"Maya? Where are you?"
"Sorry babe, I skipped class and just came home since you had practice. I forgot to text you."
"Is everything alright?"
"I'm fine Lucas. Just a bit shook is all."
"Maya I can read you like a book. Plus we need to talk. I'll be home soon."
They hung up.
Maya broke again. "Need to talk." He was gonna dump her. It was only a matter of time.
Lucas came home and Maya hid the stick.
"If you're gonna break up with me I understand." She started before he could even say a word.
"What? Why would I-"
"I'm wrong for you. I get it." Maya said.
"Maya I'm not breaking up with you."
"What?" She said.
"I love you."
"You say that now."
"And I mean it."
"Not after you find out."
"What's with all the vague terms Maya?"
"Lucas I need to tell you something."
"Maya?"
"Lucas your not gonna be happy."
"As long as you're here I'll be more than happy, but you're scaring me."
"Lucas I- I'm- Lucas I'm pregnant."
Silence.
"Please say something." She begged.
He was speechless.
"If you want me to leave I understand." She said getting up and walking out of his room.
She was almost to the front door when he ran after her and flipped her around kissed her passionately.
"You're not leaving." He whispered. "And neither am I."
Maya hugged him so tight.
"What are we gonna tell your mom?" Maya said breaking the silence.
"Well just tell her. I know her and I know she's gonna support us."
"I hope so."
"Maya, my momma isn't going to let us do this alone."
"Maybe, maybe not. I mean parents act in all kinds of ways. She could kick me out and I'll be put in some pregnant slut home for unwanted children."
"Maya, that is never going to happen, and you are the farthest thing from a slut. You are my girlfriend and I love you and if Momma can't see that then we'll both leave and stick together."
Maya took a deep breath.
"Okayy." She said sitting next to him.
He put his arms around her and pulled her close.
"We're gonna get through this." He whispered kissing her head.
"Momma, we need to talk to you." Lucas said as he and Maya stood in the kitchen doorway.
"Is everything alright? She asked.
"Yea momma. We just have something we need to tell you."
"Alright, well lets sit." She said sitting at the table.
"Momma, we don't know how you're gonna take this."
Maya was staying silent. She was gripping Lucas's hand so tight underneath the table and looking everywhere but at Leslie.
"Momma, Maya's pregnant." Lucas blurted out and Maya's grip got that much tighter.
Leslie was silently gasping.
"Momma?"
"I don't know what to say." She said.
"Momma we know this is gonna be tough but we'd really like your support."
"My support?" She laughed. "My teenage son is having a child and you want my support. How am I supposed to support that!?"
"Momma."
"Lucas go to your room."
"Mom-"
"Now!" She yelled.
Lucas got up hesitantly because he didn't want to leave Maya there.
Maya was looking down.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Leslie asked Maya.
"I'm sorry." Maya whispered.
"What?"
"I'm sorry!" Maya said louder.
"You're sorry, that's it?" Her voices raised.
"How about how you're sorry for becoming pregnant. Or your sorry for not thinking about protection. Or your sorry about how you've messed up not only your life but Lucas's too! Do any of those work?!"
Maya stayed silent.
"Maya, how did this happen! I trusted you!"
"I know, I'm sorry!" Maya cried. "I didn't mean for this to happen! I didn't mean to screw up Lucas's life! It just happened!" She cried harder.
"Maya." Leslie said sitting next to her hugging her.
"I'm so stupid and I messed up."
"Maya honey, stop crying. Just breath. I'm sorry I yelled at you but you need to calm down, this isn't good for the baby."
Maya calmed down but it took a couple of minutes.
"I am going to support you and my son 100% through this, but I just don't understand how this happened."
"It was on the island. We were stupid and weren't thinking. It just happened." Maya said.
"Oh honey. Well I hope you'll think before you act next time."
Maya shook her head.
"We need to get you a doctors appointment asap. We need to make sure everything is alright because you were on that island and you've been dancing non stop since you got back."
"Oh god. Do you think I hurt it?" Maya asked.
"No but either way we need to speak to a doctor."
"Are you angry at Luke?" Maya asked.
"No honey, I'm just disappointed in him. I raised him to be better than this."
Maya lowered her head.
"I don't mean you, but from things like this happening."
"I'm sorry." Maya said again.
"I know honey, I know. But sorry only goes so far."
"I'm going to go call the doctors to see what I can get scheduled. Don't plan on going to school tomorrow." Leslie said getting up and leaving.
Maya took a deep breath before going upstairs.
"Maya? What happened?" Lucas shot go from his bed. "Are you alright?" He hugged her tight.
"I'm fine." She said.
"What happened?"
"Well, she yelled at me for one, but then she came around and said she is gonna stick by us."
"Is she mad?"
"No. She's upset by the decisions we made, but mostly disappointed in you."
"Me?"
"She said she raised you better than this."
"Things happen though."
"That's what I told her."
"And?"
"And nothing. She gonna go call some doctors but she's keeping me home from school tomorrow."
"And me?"
"She didn't say anything about you. She just got up and left."
"Oh. Well we're gonna get through this."
"I know Luke. I know."
