Not so stereotype arranged marriage

Chapter 18 NSSAM

Chapter 18

I was driving to school with James and the way there was silent but not in an awkward way. In a way that we could talk without really saying anything, that's just how we are at time. When he pulled into his parking space I turned to look at him and said, "James are you sure you can't tell I'm pregnant? My clothes are getting tighter and I'm sure you can see my stomach sticking out. I look like I have a muffin top."

"Layla you look fine. You don't even look pregnant, you look sexy and you're going to gain a little weight you're pregnant."

I smiled and kissed him on the cheek, then got out of the car. I saw James and my friends and skipped over to them. Justin saw me skipping and sent me a glare and looked down at my stomach. "Layla come here I need to talk to you." Grabbing my hand Justin brought me away from the rest of the group, "Layla is it safe for you to be skipping and jumping while being pregnant? I want our baby to be safe."

"Justin I'm sure the baby is fine. Oh by the way I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Do you want to come?" I asked placing my hand on my stomach.

Justin place his hand on top of mine and smiled, "I would love to. Even though I'm not James I want to be part of my child's life. I think your ring is on the wrong finger." Justin said almost glaring out of jealousy at my new engagement ring.

"James proposed to me this morning." I said looking down at the ring on my finger.

"Why it's not like the child's his. If anyone should marry you it should be me!!" Justin started yelling. It's like he's a jealous boyfriend, getting upset like James would do if Justin proposed.

"James said he'll treat our child as his."

"James says a lot of things. How do you know that he'll actually treat him or her as his child? And what are you going to do when OUR child finds out that Jams isn't there dad?"

"Justin I'm not taking our child out of your life. I'm still going to let him or her know you're the father and I still want you around me being the father of YOUR baby. I'm not taking away your child; I still want you in his or her life."

"But then our child is going to have a messed up family." Justin complained

"Our child already has a messed up family. I'M NOCKED UP!!!!!" I yelled getting the attention of James who has been watching our little argument the whole time. "If you really want to know the main reason why He proposed and why I moved here ask him" I said pointing to James.

"Wow!! What's going on here? Justin what did you do to make Layla start crying?" I didn't even realize that tears have been rolling down my cheeks until he mentioned it.

"James what is she talking about the main reason why she moved here?"

"Justin I think we need to talk about something." Before he could really say anything else the bell rang signaling that we have one minute before homeroom. Saved by the bell. "We'll talk later ok?" He asked Justin who just pushed past him and went to class.

"Baby its ok. Whatever happened he'll get over it." James said trying to make me feel better.

"I hope he looked really mad." Worry showing in the frown on my forehead and in my eyes.

"Just go to class and give him space. I'll see you later." He kissed my cheek and walked the other way to his first period class. This is going to be a long day.

Lunch came a long way to fast for my liking. I was sitting at a table with just Justin, James, and I in the back of the cafeteria isolated from everyone else. James sitting next to me and Justin sitting across from us. "Justin Layla came to live with my family and I. Our parents had a legal agreement stating that the first group o kids that have a son and a daughter around the same age are to get married. Layla's dad came up with the idea because him and my dad were so close as teenagers and in collage. They wanted to be connected in some way. But later on around ten years after then signed to legal document their friendship was ruined. Don't ask me how I forgot. Were the first two children who were both male and female who were born around the same time. Resulting to us getting married. When we both found out we hated each other. I thought she was a lonely loser emo who cut herself and she thought I was smoking hot. Like alw-"

"Actually Mr. conceded I thought he was a preppy big headed conceded jerk who only cared about himself and popularity and wouldn't put anyone before him. But now I know I was wrong."

"And that I was wrong about her too. Back to the story; I didn't want anything to do with her and she the same. I told her I didn't want people to know that we even knew each other but then you two became friends and I practically didn't have a choice. But being with her at school and at home seeing her act around my family and brother I just feel in love. Of course I was upset when I found out she was pregnant with your baby but then remembering that night and how I treated her I was ok about it. Still upset but not something to hate her about considering that I love her."

"So you're saying that you guys are in an Arranged marriage?" Justin asked

"Yes" We both said at the same time.
