~Opposites Attract~

And You Didn't Tell Me ?!

The many months make it harder and harder for me to hide the bump that had slowly begun to form,making my shirts tighter on me,and my worries greater,but Mike was enjoying every bit of it,making me remove my shirt at least once a day just so he can see it...well...and other reasons. I feel myself fall asleep on the couch as I watch Mtv,and when I wake up,my mom stands before me,tears in her eyes.

" Layla,you told me... " She starts,her face looked hurt,and I followed her eyes to my stomach,pulling the blanket over it with a gasp.

" Mom,what are you- " I start in a chuckle,pretending not to know what she's talking about.

" Do you really think you could hide it from me forever,I'm your mother,I should know these kind of things,and I know that you're way to young to be pregnant " She cries,letting tears fall. Why was she so upset ?

" Mom,I thought you'd be happy for me,but I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd react like this " I say,starting to cry myself now,I throw the blanket off of me,and lift my shirt up.

" So here it is,take a good hard look " I spit,then run upstairs to my room,locking the door.

" Layla,you just don't understand all the possibilities " She cries outside my door,she lets out a sigh,and unlocks it,sitting down on my bed next to me.

" There's a lot of things I think you should know about " She says more calmly,and closes my door. I didn't know what she was talking about,so I was all ears to figure it out.

" When I was your age,I was raped...and then I got pregnant,not by the same guy,but by my boyfriend,the only guy I would ever be able to trust,so I went to the doctor to find the diagnosis on my baby,and I had a miscarriage. Then they told me I would never be able to have kids... " She cried,her bright blue eyes staring into mine,what was she talking about ?

" Mom,what are you talking about,you have three kids,those doctors were obviously full of it " I say with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood. She looked down and shook her head.

" I should've told you a long time ago... " She cried,now it all was coming together,all those years of saying I didn't look like my parents,all those years of being told me and.my siblings looked nothing alike,and never remembering my mom being pregnant with Ally,and always wondering why she was walking the day I came home from school,but they always told me it was because she grew fast. I get up,backing away from her,tears in my eyes.

" No honey no,it's not a bad thing,I always wanted kids,but couldn't have them myself,so i- " She started.

" So you lied to me,you lied to everybody for years " I cry,running down the stairs,bumping into Austin,his face was sympathetic,and he must have known. He held me in his arms,but I pushed him away.

" You're not my brother,and that's not my mom,just get away from me,all of you " I cry,and run out the front door,starting for Mike's house. I reach his window,and climb in,he immediately notices me,and engulfs me in his arms,holding me for hours until my tears ran dry.

****Austin's POV****

The secrets out,and now she knew. It was hard for me to keep it a secret from her all those years,and even though she was technically my sister,I couldn't fight my feelings towards her. I loved her,and that's why I was so protective over her,especially around Mike. He was a punk,and had no business being with a girl like Layla. I wanted her for myself,and that's why I guess you could say I teased her when we were growing up,but nobody knew,they would think it was wrong,especially since nobody knew we were all adopted. And now she's pregnant and engaged to the bastard that she says she loves,and he might say he loves her back,but it would never last,they just aren't meant to be,and if he doesn't take care of her child,then God dammit I will,and I'd be a better father than he ever would,I'd show he,I'd show all of them.
