Not A Mistake

Chapter 7

It was the day before her parents funeral she had tons of family that had come for it. Although she had decided to stay in her room. And Isabella had been bringing her food. She had agreed that she was just not going to let the food sit.

Some of her family was here but she had not really wanted to talk to them. She was to scared of the reaction they were going to have when they found out that she was pregnant.

There was a knock at the door. "Come in." She had a feeling that she knew who it was that was at the door.

Her aunt opened the door walking in closing the door behind her. She didn't understand why her niece was ignoring them. She knew that it was a hard time for them and that they should be around the other family that they did have." Arabella you can not ignore everyone in this family forever."

"I am not ignoring y'all." She knew that it was not true but it was the only thing that she could think to do right now.

"Fine you can't avoid us forever." She corrected she didn't get why Arabella didn't want to see her.

"Says who." Arabella countered she was pretty sure that none of them could do anything about her avoiding them until she was ready to tell them about her pregnancy.

"Arabella you have to tell us something." She just wanted to know what was wrong what made Arabella think that she couldn't talk to her.

She looked up at her aunt it was looking like she didn't have much of a choice right now. "I'm pregnant"

"What?" She was sure that her niece was joking that wasn't like Arabella.

"I''m pregnant." She knew that it was hard for her aunt to believe hell it had been hard for her to believe.

Layla sat at the edge of her bed she couldn't see her niece getting pregnant this early. Especially not this one she did everything right. " This is not a joking matter."

"Why is it that every time I am honest someone thinks it has to be a joke." She was being honest about her pregnancy and her aunt thought she was joking she couldn't believe it. She hated that every time she said it they thought that she was kidding. Why would she lie about something like that."I went to a party before school started I got drunk I slept with someone and I am now pregnant."

"How far are you?" Layla asked she doubted that her brother had knew about Arabella being pregnant.

"Almost 7 weeks." She lifted up her shirt to show her small bump she had spent an hour looking at earlier she was already obsessed with her bump.

"Did your parents know?" She was sure that she knew what the answer was but she wanted to be sure.

She shook her head she had wished that she would have told her parents. She wished that they could be here with her now. "I didn't tell them? I should have I should have had them come home early so that I could tell them that I was pregnant. So that they could have come home early and not gotten trapped in that storm."

She could see the tears starting to cloud in Arabella's eyes. She knew that this accident was affecting her a lot. "You can not blame yourself."

She knew that maybe her aunt was right and she couldn't blame herself for something that she had no control over. But she couldn't help it. She could have had them come back earlier than what they would have. "Why not I could have told them if they would have known when I found out they would have flew back that day."

"Hey listen to me it is not your fault you were scared for them to find out." Layla understood her being scared of her family finding out about her being pregnant. Scared of how everyone was going to react to the news. "Do we know this guy?"
