Chasing Champions

The horror

Sarah POV:

As the next morning rolls around and we get moving. I stand in front of the mirror looking at my stomach from each angle. From the front you couldn't really see any change but from the side, the area below my belly button was slightly swollen. To anyone else it would just look like I had ate just a bit to much or was bloated. But as I press a hand to it, it was rock hard. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that this bump was a little human growing inside of me. Without realizing I had started to rub small circles with my thumb in the middle of it. And that was what Chase walked into, and it made him smile as he came up from behind and spun me around and knelt down so he was eye level with my hand. He reaches up and joins his hand with mine, moving it up slightly to kiss my stomach softly. It made me smile with tears in my eyes, tears of happiness. But as he stands back up and I look at my side profile again, I know we need to tell our families soon. I lay both of my hands on my lower abdomen and say,

"We need to tell them soon. If I am already starting to show then it's only a matter of time before someone will notice. And in a week we are supposed to start supercross training, which I obviously won't be doing for awhile. And people will want to know why."

He nods his head in agreement while biting his lip before sighing,

"Well, what if we tell your family tonight? That's why I came up here, Jett texted saying that they miss you and wanted to know if we wanted to come over for dinner."

I blink at him a few times before muttering,

"Sounds like Jett has had enough of keeping his mouth shut. And has decided to have us spill."

We both look at each other and laugh, knowing that was exactly what happened. But I had to agree that it had to be done. And this way the boys will both be there to help back us up if shit goes south, so with a grimace,

"But it's probably going to be our best shot. Might as well get it done and over with before one of them slips it by accident. But before that, I need to call Axell and let him know. I promised to let him know what was wrong when I found out."

Chase frowned down at me with his eyebrows drawn together and asked,

"You told Axell before me?"

The sound of his voice makes my heart drop. He sounded hurt, so hurt and betrayed even and I quickly explained,

"Not because I wanted to! God no, he was with me on the gate right before the last moto and was just joking with me and trying to keep my nerves down when I got a quick nausea spell and he noticed it I guess because he asked me about it but the air horn went off. And after when we were talking he grilled me about it and I told him what I knew then, that I was having random spells and didn't know what was going on and that following week I was going to go to my doctor and figure out what. He said I really should have told you and I agree, I was just scared. Scared of what could have been wrong with me. Scared of getting into your head and messing up the end of your season. Scared of losing my dream so close to being able to reach it. The thought of being pregnant never crossed my mind I promise! I was actually going to tell you the following day when we got home but, I never got the chance."

He looked me dead in the eye without much emotion and said,

"You tend to keep a lot of things to yourself Sarah. How do I know you really were going to get checked out? Really tell me? How can I trust you, after you promised me to come to me when something wasn't right after your whole mom problem? How can we be together if you can't trust me enough to tell me these things? How can we raise a child together when your too closed off, when your too busy dealing with only yourself? Who's to say if you did know you were carrying our child that you would have stopped?"
