Young & Pregnant

Chapter 10 - Surprise!

"Wait, you're moving?" I say with tears trying to escape my eyes but I hold them back. 

"Uh, yeah, I'm moving. I'm sorry.. I didn't know this would happen and I just found out yesterday, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"Oohhh, no, don't switch this all on me like I'm the one that forced you to have sex with me. I'm sorry to tell you, but you can't move. We need two parents for this baby, I don't want my child to grow up without a father in his or her life.. pleasee..." I couldn't hold back, I had to let me tears out, if he doesn't stay I'm going to do something I will regret. 

"Soo , um where are you moving?" I might have to just move with him.  

"I'm moving to North Carolina, I'm just moving to get my mind clear, to start new. I have a two-bedroom apartment for $600 a month. I'm just trying to look for a roommate to live with then I'm out. Why?" I can tell he was really curious and getting the idea. I hate how he can read my mind. 

"Just a question. Maybe I can move with you?" I sound really stupid. 

"What? No. You can't I-I- No, I'm sorry. You can't live with me." He stumbles as he talks. 

"Why not? You said you needed a roommate right? I can be your roommate. We can start new together. C'mon. Please. What do you have some kind of girl that your going to have sex with? Fine get another girl pregnant" I think I kind of overreacted.

"No I don't fucking have girl to get pregnant. Don't you listen through your damn ears Nevie? I WANT TO START FRESH! Don't you have a boyfriend to be moving in with anyways?" He was angry, his face got red, veins popping out his neck and head. It was scary.

"Yeah... b-b-but he's not the father of my baby. YOU ARE. Fuck it, and FUCK YOU. This stress is not good for the baby at all." I wipe my tears and just stare at the ground.

"Okay? He can. Nevie, really?" He was calming down, I like that. 

"Don't call me that, you call me Naveah. Just go, I have to call my boyfriend that is gonna be in OUR baby's life. You should feel ashamed of your fucking self. Just, leave."

As I told him that, he tried to kiss and hug me a goodbye. But I just put my hand up to stop him from it. I wasn't in the mood. He was right. Luis can be the father of my baby. As we are just standing in the hallway, mami comes in the room.

"What's going on here? Too much noise for my brain, please keep it down. Gracias." she says looking so tired and she walks back to her room scratching her butt.

"She said thank yo-" I tell him thinking he doesn't know what she said.

"Yeah I know, I took Spanish for 3 years." He says trying to prove a point.

"oh okay." silence in the room.

I look at him.

He does a long sigh and walks out the door.

 I got to my room to talk to my baby again. Not my boyfriend baby, my baby baby.

Hey growing person in my belly. Mommy is under a lot of stress right now, but I'm just trying to do the best for you. Your're 4 months and you're already trying to kick aren't you? I laugh. I'm finding out your gender tomorrow, then mommy's going to look for a place to provide for you and me. Mommy is going to become and independent woman, Yeah, I'm just 17 years old and I think I should get my drivers license. Mommy is good on her own, she just needs her boyfriend by her side right now. My dream job is do be a nurse or a business woman but all that happens later, I need to focus on you right now. You're my main priority. But tomorrow, I'm not going to school, and I'm going to look for apartments, gonna get my permit and talk to daddy, my boyfriend. I love you bebe.

Soon as I stopped talking. I fall asleep...
