Shout out to Bre for reviewing! Hmm..let's see if you're right. Here's your update!
Jade's p.o.v
"Hey" I say to Scott.
"Hey" he says, sitting on the couch.
"Can I sit?"
"Of course" he says, moving over a little.
"I'm pregnant but i'm not fat yet" I chuckle. Scott tenses up a little at the joke. "Derek told me you guys talked"
"Yeah..we did" he nods. "I'm going to be here for you, you know that right?"
"Yeah, I know" I smile.
"Is it..weird?" Scott asks a little awkwardly.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"You know..having a person growing inside of you"
"Oh" I laugh. "Yeah, it's a little weird I guess but they say babies are miracles, right? I'm still adjusting to the news so.."
"Oh, right" Scott nods. "Can I?" he asks, hand hovering over my stomach.
"It's too soon for them to kick" I tell him.
"But not too soon to feel a heartbeat" Scott smiles. I nod. He brings his hand to my stomach and his face lights up. I know right then and there that no matter how Scott feels about Derek and I doing it, he's going to love and protect our pup. "I can feel it" he says in amazement. I bring my hand to where his is, I didn't know you could do that. When I feel baby's heartbeat, it's bliss. It's perfect. The front door opens and Aunty comes in.
"An reason we're feeling Jade's stomach?" she asks in amusement, putting her handbag down and sitting down on the one-seater. Oh..I haven't told Melissa yet either.
"I should go" Scott says, getting up. I grab his arm.
"No, please don't" I plead. I have no idea how she's going to react.
"Fine" Scott sighs, sitting back down. Melissa watches the exchange with narrowed eyes.
"Jade? What's going on?" Aunty asks.
"Um.." I look to Scott but he shakes his head. He's not helping me.
"Jade" Aunty Mel says. "I do not have a supernatural level of paitence and you're really worrying me..come on, tell me" she pleads. I sit up straighter, turning my body towards her. Aunty must sense the urgency because she does the same.
"Okay, so..Derek and I are..together and.."
"I know that" she chuckles. "Wait. No" she says.
"Um..yes"
"You're moving out?" she asks. Wait, what?
"No, what?"
"Are you and him going to live together? It's a little soon to be thinking like that, don't you think?" she asks nervously. If she thinks it's too soon for that then this is going to be harder to tell her than I thought.
"No, i'm not going anywhere right now" I say.
"Oh, good" she smiles. "Then what's up?"
"Uh.."
"Jade, for the love of god, just tell her" Scott sighs, tension settling high in his shoulders at the drawn out confession.
"Tell me what?" Aunty asks.
"Derek and I..we're.." I try, bringing a hand to my stomach. She watches me with wide eyes.
"No you're not, not that. Right? You're not about to say what I think you are, right?" it's like she's trying to convince me i'm wrong.
"I'm sorry but..i'm pregnant" I finally tell her. A deadly thick silence falls over the room. Scott's eyes are darting between us. And once again, Derek's timing is complete shit. The second Aunty sees him walk through the door, she's on her feet. "Melissa, wait!" she grabs him and throws him againist a wall. It's weird to see him being thrown againist the wall when it's usually the other way around.
"Uh.." Derek says, looking at us for some sort of explaination.
"You got her pregnant?!" Aunty yells, tightening her grip on him.
"Oh..yeah" Derek's trying to keep her calm. "Sorry.." he says awkwardly. Aunty looks between us angerily. She lets Derek go, turning back to me.
"You're 20 years old, you're stuck in this supernatural world" she says. She looks between us both now. "How could you even think of bringing a baby into this world?" she asks. She's not angry anymore though..no, she's upset. Tears start to well up in her eyes before she's running up to her room and closing the door. We all hear her crying.
"Let me talk to her" Scott says softly. I nod, not able to say anything. Derek slowly walks over to me.
"Jade?" he calls out. I look up at him with confused, sad eyes. "Why don't we go out for abit? Go for a walk?" he offers softly. I nod. His hand slips into mine and he leads me out the door. What the hell just happened?
