"You haven't called me in a week, what's up?"
"Alex you better leave my stepfather is gonna kill you."
"Are you gonna come with me?"
"No I'm not." she said about to close the door but he stopped her.
"Yes you are come on"
"No, I'll call you."
"You are coming"
"No, I'm not."
By this time he was getting pretty pissed at her as asked her firmly "Why are you making this harder than it has to be?"
"Why are you acting like this?"
"You haven't called me in a week and you expect me not to be mad, now come on, we need to talk, come on please."
She saw in his eyes that he really wanted to talk to her and she released a huge sigh as she said "Okay, let me tell them I am leaving."
"Just come okay, I'm not in the mood to deal with your Stepdad tonight so come on."
He quickly pulled her out and closed the door. She tried to hold it in but she couldn't help laugh at him. She walked to his car and got inside and him on the other and he quickly pulled off.
As he drove realizing what she had done she buried her face in her hands as she said "He is going to kill me."
He looked over at her "What's been up with you, you have been acting so strange, not returning my phone calls, not calling me, you haven't came over or nothing." She didn't speak at all she just sat there and he hit the wheel and yelled at her "I know you hear me talking to you, What the hell is your problem?"
She yelled back at him "Don't yell at me and their is nothing wrong with me."
He was just quiet a long while before he spoke just to calm himself down "Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"
"Because I am fine, I'm okay."
"I have known you almost all your life you think I don't know when you are lying, now tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong."
He decided to wait a while before he spoke to her again. He drove to a nearby park where he parked and it was complete silence and he turned to her "Are you cheating on me?"
"I would never cheat on you."
"Could you please tell me what's wrong?"
She just started crying not wanting to tell him but she knew now that she didn't have a choice and she spoke sadly "I didn't want to tell you this because of all the busy things you have going on and your career but." She got quiet for a long while before she said "I'm 2 months pregnant."
He couldn't even talk. He wanted to see if he had heard wrong "Y-y-y-you're pregnant."
"Yes"
He just got out the car and so did she as she met him on the other side and she jumped as he yelled at her "How did you get pregnant?"
"You know how I got pregnant."
"Are you sure it's even mines I haven't talked to you in a week?"
Now her mad yelled "2 months, How could you say that to me?"
"2 months Claudia, What about me and my career and everything I have going on now what I'm I suppose to do."
"What about me I am only 19 and I am pregnant."
"I can't believe you're doing this to me, at this time in my life-"
"It's over between us, you can go to hell, I can't believe you, everything you ever told me was a lie, I thought you said you'd love me no matter."
He began to realize what had went on and what he'd said to her and he looked over at her in tears and he said "I'm sorry"
"No I hate you, I swear I never, ever want to see you again, just forget about the baby, forget I ever told you."
She walked off and it was pretty cold and with everything that had just happened she stopped suddenly he thought she was about to turn back to him but she fell to the ground and he ran over and she wasn't moving at all, he picked her up in his arms and carried her back to the car. He felt so bad for talking to her the way he did. And he changed her into so cozy clothes and sat her in front of the fireplace to warm after a while she began to move a little and she opened her eyes a little she was happy to see him as she said softly "How could you say that to me, I didn't get pregnant by myself."
"I'm so, so, so very sorry for talking you like that, I didn't know how to react, I was shocked you said that, I'm sorry."
"But you ....what you said hurt very badly."
"I'm sorry I swear."
She was quiet a while and she drifted back off to sleep.
The next morning she found herself in his cozy bed, she felt a lot better, she heard him in the kitchen cooking breakfast, she hated to get out the big warm bed but she wanted to see him so climbed and she went into the kitchen quietly she crept behind him hugging him and he turned to her "Good morning, you feel better."
"Yeah, I feel a lot better."
"I'm done you hungry?"
"Of course, I'm always hungry." she laughed and he did a little, she was about to walk off when he pulled her to him wrapping their arms around each others waist and he looked down at her "Listen, I'm really, really, sorry for going off on you the way I did last night, I know you didn't make the baby by yourself and it's out baby and I want you to have us a healthy, jolly, bouncing little girl."
He kissed her on the forehead as he walked over to the fridge and she stood there "A girl?"
"Yes a girl"
She walked over to the stove and began to fix herself something to eat and he just watched and it made him think about how much he loved her and when she was done she walked out the kitchen and pass the living room she stopped with him behind her "What happened in here I cleaned up in here just last week."
"Well the guys came over and you know how guys are."
"Yeah right."
Finally they both climbed back in bed she was sitting up in bed eating and he asked the questions he had been asking her forever "Are you gonna move in with me now?"
"No." she said laughing a little knowing the question was coming.
"You know how my stepfather is about you and you know how you are."
"What do you mean 'How I am?'."
"How many female friends do you have? How many times a day do they call you?" she asked looking over at him from her plate.
"That has nothing to do with us."
There was a knock and she dropped her fork and looked at him "What if that is my stepfather?"
"So what if it is?"
She rolled her eyes pulling the covers off "I'll go get it then." And she got up a little nervous as she walked to the door.
