Pink Bubblegum

Chapter 12

Third Person POV: 13 Years ago

Michiko was in the bathroom looking at her stomach. She had just found that she was pregnant. Her feelings were all over the place but she was mostly scared. "Michi, can you hurry up, I gotta pee" Kaoru knocked on the door. "Gimme a second" She said to her brother. She left the bathroom and Kaoru was at the door. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Just a little sick, that's all" Michiko explained to her younger brother. I have to tell Yuuka she thought to herself. Later that night she met her boyfriend. He was a little bit older than her and was a bit troubled. "Yuuka, I have to tell you something" Michiko said with her heart pounding. "What is it?" He asked her. "I'm pregnant" her voice broke. Yuuka looked surprised. "I'm not the dad am I?" He asked. "You're the only one who could be the dad" She replied. "Uhhhhh I can pay child support" He said. Michiko could tell he didn't take this seriously. "I'll keep the baby, you continue to live your life. You'd probably be too busy for the baby anyways" Michiko said. "Really? I don't have to help at all?" Yuuka asked excitedly. "I'll be fine by myself" Michiko said. "Ayyyyeeee you guys want another drink? It's on me, we're celebrating" Yuuta yelled at the bar. "What are we celebrating?" one of his friends asked. "I'm not a dad" He said happily. Michiko was still there but after that comment, she quickly went home. She felt stupid for ever thinking that Yuuka would be there for her. A few hours later, Kaoru found her crying in her room. "Are you okay?" He asked her. She tried talking but she couldn't form words. After a few minutes, Michiko finally spoke. "I made a terrible mistake" she said. "What happened?" Kaoru asked his older sister. "I'm having a baby" Michiko said. Kaoru was left speechless. "Are you gonna tell Mom and Dad?" He asked. "I don't know yet" Michiko replied.

Present Day: Michiko's POV

"Mom, mom you spaced out" Y/n shook me. "Sorry" I replied to her. Y/n took me to the skate park with her and I guess I spaced out thinking about myself when I was younger. Sometimes I wish Yuuka could see how much Y/n has grown. I'm proud to say I did a decent job raising her by myself, with no help from that clown at all. I learned that no parent is perfect throughout the years. I looked at Y/n skating. It reminded me of when she was five when Kaoru and Kojiro used to let her skate on their skateboards. "I remember when your uncle was your age and he used to leave his skateboard all over the house, nearly killing me a few times" I told Y/n. "Really? I can't see Uncle Kaoru being disorganized like that" Y/n said to me. "Well when we were younger he was always a pain but, he's a good brother" I explained to her. "Hey mom can I have a brother?" Y/n asked me. "What?" I quickly asked her. "I'm kidding" She laughed. "Do I look like I have the time for another child" I asked her. "No" she replied to me. "Crazy kid" I said to her. I heard a few teenagers whispering. "Dude she's totally hot" One of them said. "Should I ask for her number?" The other one asked. "Heyyy" They approached me. "Hi" I said to them. "Do you have a boyfriend?" One of them asked. "No, but I do have a 13 year old daughter, wanna see if she's interested in you two?" I asked them. Their jaws dropped to the ground. "So that's not your little sister?" One asked. "Nope, that's my daughter" I replied. "Well, I like milfs" The other said. I instantly cringed. "Y/n let's go" I said to my daughter. "Were they hitting on you?" Y/n asked me. "Yeah, one of them said that they liked milfs" I said to her. "Creepy" Y/n said. "Yeah totally creepy" I agreed with her.

Y/n's POV

I really liked having a single mom. Just the two of us were fine. I don't even remember my mom ever dating someone. I guess she did it for my sake. "Y/n do feel like you need a father figure in your life?" my mom asked. "No, not really, I just get curious about dad sometimes, that's all" I explained to her. "Uncle Kaoru and Kojiro are the closest I've had to a father figure but that's alright" I smiled at my mom. She was a very broken person but she never let it show, not even a little bit. The least I could do is try to be a good daughter. "You wanna hear a funny story?" my mother asked me. "Sure" I replied to her. "Kojiro used to have a crush on me when we were younger" she said. "Really? Does he know that you knew" I asked her. "I don't think so. He tried really hard to hide it but it didn't work out" My mom explained. We both laughed.
