Charlie Gillespie~ pregnant ~

5 months later

Okay we're doing another song because.. yeah.. don't play it until I say so (omg that was so aggressive.. um yeah)

Charlie: Okay Yale just breath everything will be fine!
Yale: Charlie.
Yale: Woah is that a head?
Yale: Shut up! This is serious!

We both continued laughing.

Charlie: Why do we need a birthing class? I think I can do this on my own.
Yale: Movie births are the most unrealistic thing ever.
Charlie: Oh really and since when are you the baby birthing expert?
Yale: Um the backup plan for example. Jennifer Lopez drives to a farmers market on her way to the hospital, has a conversation with about 4 different people THEN has the baby like 30 minutes later and doesn't even break a sweat. Her makeup remains perfectly in tact, it makes no sense.

Charlie let out a sigh

Charlie: Yale. I've been meaning to ask you this?
Yale: What's up!
Charlie: Is your cooch gonna tear because if it does, we should probably call the wedding off.

I grabbed the nearest pillow and smacked him with it. Ellie's came downstairs.

Charlie: Hey there monster
Ellie: I'm going out
Charlie: Going out where?

Ellie fiercely slammed the door.

She's been angry ever since she got back from Bay City with Vinnie. I'm not exactly sure what happened in the week they were gone but it wasn't good.
_______September 20th 2021___________
Ellie's POV
Vinnie: Sooo we've been driving like an hour now. Do you know where you want to go?
Ellie: Umm we're 24 minutes away from Bay City.
Vinnie: Bay City? What's in Bay city?
Ellie: I don't know.
Vinnie: So why do you want to go there?
Ellie: I don't know.
Vinnie: Good answers. Bay City it is.

After arriving in Bay City, Vinnie and I checked into a hotel and got separate rooms that connected with one door. It was pretty late and I just wanted to sleep, cry a little but mostly sleep.

Vinnie: Um I'm gonna sleep now. But if you need anything, here's a second key card to my room.
Ellie: Thank you Vinnie.
Vinnie: It's no problem. I love going on spontaneous road trips with beautiful women.

He turned around and entered his room.

Ellie: You think I'm beautiful?
Vinnie: Goodnight Ellie.

I loved my mother. But I also hated her. Growing up, she never did anything with me. If I ever asked her to join me at a protest, she would just take a photo for instagram and leave me there. When Charlie was in rehab, she called once. She said she needed to fix herself so she could be better to us. Ben raised me more than she did.

I felt so alone, seeing her tonight just made me feel worse. I needed someone. I got up and entered Vinnie's room. He was laying there shirtless. I hopped across his floor and climbed underneath his covers and faced the wall. Vinnie wrapped his arms around me and I turned around.

Ellie: Vinnie I-
Vinnie: I know.

I laid on his chest and he put his arm behind my head. I felt his chest go up and down. Memories from last summer came to my mind.
______May 20th 2021________________
Ellie: Hi um you're Vinnie right?
Vinnie: It's the last day of school, I was kind of looking forward to not receiving an airdropped petition from you all summer.
Ellie: you're fucking funny

Vinnie closed his locker

Vinnie: oooo America's sweetheart has a potty mouth
Ellie: So you're like good at science or whatever right?
Vinnie: define being good at science..
Ellie: You beat me 3 years in a row in our elementary school science fairs.
Vinnie: Well maybe if you had done something other than "why women are scientifically stronger than men" every year you could've beaten me too.
Ellie: Speaking of..
Vinnie: It's Summer..
Ellie: Could you help me with the scientific aspects of being pro choice?
Vinnie: No.
Ellie: Why not?
Vinnie: Because I don't care.
Ellie: Vinnie please. No one knows more about this stuff in the school and I don't trust the internet. I'll do anything.
Vinnie: Anything
Ellie: Anything.
Vinnie: Go on a date with me.
Ellie: Wh-
Vinnie: I'll DM you princess
____________May 25th 2021__________
Ellie: Oh my gosh Vinnie! You cracked this debate wide open! Thank you so much!
Vinnie: It's really not that difficult. It's basic biology.
Ellie: To smart people
Vinnie: Hey you're not the sharpest knife when it comes to Science but you aren't dumb. Remember the spelling bee in 7th grade? You kicked my ass with-
Ellie: totalitarianism
Vinnie: What 13 year old would know that word- oh wait. Miss East Lansing 2016!
Ellie: 2016 was a pretty good year. Kicked ass in spelling bees and pageants too.
Vinnie: My queen.
_________June 19th 2021______________
Vinnie: What the HELL is Juneteenth?
Ellie: It's a celebration of slaves being freed.
Vinnie: You have really pretty lips. Has anyone ever told you have really pretty lips.
