Not A Mistake

Chapter 10

Arabella had managed to successfully dodge Skylar and Ashton. Fall break was about to start and she couldn't be happier. She was ready to be out of this school already even if it was only for a week. She needed it bad. 

Skylar found her by her locker she knew that Arabella had been avoiding her. She had figured when she would suddenly disappear between all her classes even when they were leaving the same class. " You've been avoiding me?"

She chuckled she knew that it was no secret that she had been avoiding her. She had been trying to she just wanted this school year to end without any more rumors. Because the ones that were going on now were starting to get on her nerves. "And why would you think that i have been avoiding you. I always want to cause everyone to always wonder what is going on in my life."

She understood that she knew that she was getting irritated because of everything that everyone was saying. "I know you heard the rumors."

"Unfortunately, Arabella Knight is wearing a fake baby bump she is getting special treatment for no reason." She heard everything that everyone was saying she also hated that Ashton was still acting like he didn't care when everyone else was around but was always watching to make sure she was ok. And she hated more that people had started to notice his sudden interest. "Ashton Moore has been paying specific attention to said pregnant girl."

"Are you getting special treatment?" Skylar knew the answer to that and she knew that everyone else thought otherwise. She knew that was also making Arabella irritated because it wasn't true. But of course, everyone was going to think otherwise.

"No." Arabella didn't even want special treatment as per her and the principal's agreement she was still being treated the same.

"Sorry, i just had to ask." She took a few steps back she did not want another argument to happen in the middle of the hall.

"Well unbeknownst to everyone else. I am still treated just like everyone here." That was the only normal thing that she still had in her life. That they were still treating her as if she was a normal student and not that she was having a baby. "Despite the fact that everyone is assuming otherwise."

Skylar knew that she was never going to get to that point because teenagers were going to be teenagers. And if they saw things a certain way there was no changing that. "There teenagers they are always going to want to see things a certain way no matter what anyone else is going to say about it and that is not going to change."

"I know that I just want everyone to mind their own business." She just wanted to be invisible to have no one worrying about her or what she was doing. She wanted her life to be her life, not a life that everyone knew about. Not one that was always being in the news and not one that everyone had to know about.

The door opened and once again Ashton was coming in with a different girl on his arm. She was used to seeing him with a different girl every week. And it was hilarious to her. How he said one thing but acted a completely different way in multiple ways. "Your brother is a whore."

"Is it getting to you yet?" She could see the wheels spinning in her friend's head and knew that this was making her more irritated. "I heard baby mamas are possessive."

She shook her head rolling her eyes she was never going to be possessive over him. She didn't even like him or would she ever want him. "Over him never. I like it better when he leaves me alone. He'll never talk to me in public at school. He doesn't want anyone to know he fucked up and got a girl pregnant. I just wish he would make up his goddamn mind. Leave me alone or act like you want the baby."

"Your right about that one." She knew that her brother was taking forever to make up his mind. She knew that he wanted the baby but he had a terrible way of proving that he did. "He is being careful now though I don't think he wants to have more than one on the way."

"Good cause i don't want to explain to my child that she had 3 other siblings just months younger than them." That would be an awkward conversation one that she had no intention of giving. She was still trying to figure everything out herself. "I don't even want to tell them that he is their father. Or what he did during high school."

"I don't think anyone wants to hear about what he does." She didn't even want to know about the things that her brother had done. And that was something she hoped that her nephew/niece didn't either."So you almost caught up yet."

"Close but not yet and i am still mad at you so i am going to go." She had things that she had to do like go make sure that everything is alright with her baby. She had so many appointments because they knew how stressed she was. They wanted to constantly make sure that the baby was doing alright."My grandmother is here i have a check-up the whole teen and stressed thing."

"Bye, I'm sorry."She knew that her and Arabella's relationship was going to be rocky for awhile and their was nothing that she could do about that right now. She just had to try to repair it slowly. 

Arabella nodded walking away. Isabella walked over to her. She was happy to see that Arabella had actually been talking to her. She knew her sister was trying her best to hold the grudge that she had earned. "Surprised she talked to you at all."

Skyla had to agree with that she was surprised that Arabella just didn't turn and walk away she wouldn't have blamed her for it. "She's mad at me but i deserve it i should have been honest with her. Told her that he was my brother and i was hosting the party. Maybe then things would be different."

"This is a lot for her and it does not help the timeline of things that are already happening in her life. She just needs some time i am going to convince her to give you two a chance." She knew that she had the best chance of convincing her little sister. Her grandmother was not succeeding and Layla was not yet sure what she wanted for her niece. She knew that she would have to get Skylar to take some sense into her brother because Ashton nor Arabella could agree on anything. "But what you two are doing is not helping talk some sense into your brother. They're going to be parents and that will never work if they can't get along."

She nodded she understood that it would take a miracle for those two to get along for the sake of their child."Alright i will do my best."

"I'll try to get her to talk to you but she is hurt and hormonal that is going hand in hand." Isabella could try her best with her sister and maybe it would work but it wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

"Ok."

Arabella was laying on the hospital bed the doctor had just put the gel on her stomach and was rubbing it around. She was staring at her baby on the little screen.

"Aright your baby is doing just fine. How's the morning sickness."

"Not so bad anymore." She was happy that it was starting to pass she wasn't fond of throwing up over and over again. She didn't like the feeling she also didn't like all the smells that mad eher feel sick to her stomach.

"Alright." She move the wand around on her stomach. "Baby is healthy everything seems to be going right. It should be about the size of a lime right now. It's really small it's just now developing fingers and toes they are starting to get hair folicues."

She stared at the screen looking at her baby. "Really!"

"Yeah."
