Teen Dads

Chapter 7

It was September, a few more weeks later, and Alexa got home from school with Leo. They started doing their homework on the couch for a while. After a bit Alexa went to the kitchen for medicine.

"Are you okay?" Leo asked.

"Yeah. Always get sick around this time of year."

"Oh. Okay." She nodded and sat back down with her water. There was a knock on the door so Alexa got back up and went over. Carson was there again, needing to calm down in quiet.

"Hey, can—" she shook her head violently and pointed towards the living room. "What?" Leo came around the corner and walked over.

"What are you doing here babe?"

"Oh, I uhh—"

"He just probably figured you were here." Alexa finished.

"No, I am telling him."

"Telling me what?" Leo asked, confused.

"So you know when I'm upset cause of my parents?" He nodded. "Well I kinda don't go to your house but I come here." Leo crossed his arms.

"Why?"

"Cause you always just get mad but her and her family comfort me and let me talk."

"Well why didn't you tell me? I didn't realize I did it. I just get mad when people are rude to you."

"And I love you for that but I'm just saying I'd rather come here and spend time with you other times."

"Okay."

"Are you mad?"

"No."

"Okay. I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"I'm just going to go."

"No. Come in. I won't get angry, okay?"

"Can we just go to your place? We can talk and then hang out."

"Okay." Leo looked at Alexa who nodded and smiled. "I'll see you later."

"Okay. Have a good night!"

"You too!" He grabbed his things and left with Carson. Alexa shut the door and ran to the bathroom. She opened the toilet seat and was about to throw up but didn't. She put her hands on her head and sat there. That's when a light went off in her head. She got up and ran to her room, checking her calendar.

"Shit!" She screamed. Since her periods had become normal she had never missed one or been late but she's late now. She grabbed her keys and went to her car, driving to a drug store in her sweats. She grabbed a pregnancy test and went home as fast as she could. Her dads were of course home as she got back.

"Hey honey! Where were you?"

"The store. Had to grab something." They nodded and she ran to her room. She went to her bathroom and peed on the stick, waiting for the result. "Please don't be positive..." she kept repeating. After the timer went off the turned it around. "I think I'm going to be sick." She opened the toilet again and threw up. Blaine ran over and opened the door, seeing her over the toilet.

"Honey, are you okay?" He was about to get down with her before he saw the test on the counter. He picked it up and read it, making a concerned face. When he looked at Alexa, she was just sitting there, tears rolling down her face. He got down and hugged her, speechless.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay honey. We will figure everything out."

"I can't tell dad."
