A story for Ma Cherie

Anxiety

                   Everyone was so excited about the pregnancy. I couldn't wait to hold this little bundle of joy. As the days passed, I continued to get more and more anxious about the whole thing. A random guy's baby is in me. I pushed the thoughts off. I had Dom and Alex. Plus everyone else. This baby is mine. I will love it no matter what.

I was sitting on my bed scrolling through my pictures. "Hey Remington!" I yelled down the hall.

"What's up?" he said, walking into the room.

"Millions of people have been commenting random pregnancy questions on all of my pictures. I'm just going to do a live. Wanna join me?" I set my phone up, ready to press the 'go live' button. He sat down beside me and looked at himself in the camera, adjusting his makeup a little bit.

I pressed the button and seconds later, hundreds of people had joined. "Hey guys! How are you doing today!! I'm good, just chilling with one of the weirdos. So since you guys have been asking so many questions about the pregnancy, I thought I'd just go ahead and answer as many as possible. I think the biggest question is who's the father." I looked over at Remington who gave me a reassuring smile.

"Before she talks about that though, I just want to say this: if your out in public by yourself, be extremely careful. Especially at night. Make sure your phone is charged!" I elbowed him in the arm.

"So. As all of you know, me and Alex are engaged. We are very much in love and I am so excited to start a family with him. But... It's not his. You all also know that me and Dom have been in a relationship as well. We've been dating since the day I got pregnant. But its not his either. I don't know who the father is. I don't know what he looks like, what his name is none the less. That is exactly why everyone needs to be extremely careful. This baby was never meant to happen. I'm not saying I don't want the baby, or anything like that. I'm just saying I wish the situation had never happened." I started tearing up a bit. Emerson came into the room and sat beside me.

"Hey everyone!" he said, putting his hat on my head.

"Next question: how far along am I? 12 weeks. The only real cravings I've been having is Remington's nutella, and Sebastian's french toast. I have thought of names, but I do not intend on telling anyone yet." A few people requested to be in the live, and I looked through the names. I finally picked someone whose username was @babyemmakropp

"Oh my gosh, hi." They were excited.

"Hi how are you?"

"Good, how are you?"

"I'm okay." I talked to the girl, answering more random questions. I let a few other people join and talked to them. Remington made a bunch of random comments like always, and Emerson talked about his art for a bit. We were on for just over two hours. "Okay everyone, this little queen or king is getting hungry. *whispers* Guess it's time to go steal some of Remingtons nutella." Remington jokingly punched me in the arm. "Bye guys!" I ended the live and turned to Remington.
"I wasn't joking." I stood up and ran down the stairs. He chased after me, but I had gotten there before him. I grabbed the nutella and bolted back up the stairs. I pulled Emerson in front of me. "Shield meeee" I joked.

We joked around, fake wrestling for a bit until we agreed to share the nutella as long as I made him my homemade mashed potatoes later that week.
