Chapter 38: Telling Everyone

Shailene P.O.V

I waited at my locker for Marissa and Taylor. I grabbed a few books and put them in my book bag. I threw it over my shoulder and shut my locker just as I felt a kick from my baby. I put my hand on my stomach and smiled.

"Shay!" I looked up to my friends staring at me.

"What are you doing?" Taylor asked.

"I felt him kick." I picked my head up and smiled at him.

"I'm sorry, him?" Marissa pointed out my flaw. They both smiled at each other, then at me.

"Crap..." I bit my lip. "Yep! It's a boy!" I smiled at them.

"Aww, Shay! I'm so happy for you and Brett!" Taylor hugged me while I hugged back. When she let go, I noticed Marissa standing there with her arms crossed. Her hands were tucked in and her head was down.

"Marissa, are you okay?" I asked. Taylor soon joined me and looked concerned.

"Yeah, I-I I'm fine." She looked as if she were going to cry.

"Marissa, we've been friends forever and we know when something is wrong. Spill it." Taylor spoke softly so no one but us could hear.

"I can't tell you." She began to cry, then walked away.

"Marissa!" Taylor called out. "I'll talk to her." She whispered to me while I whispered back "okay".

I closed my locker and watched Taylor and Marissa talk. Marissa seemed to be telling her everything while Taylor stood there in shock. As Taylor looked at me. worried, Brett blocked my vision.

"Hey Shay," He put his hands on my stomach, "and Jack Jr." He kissed me gently.

"Okay, we are not naming him that!" I protested.

"Okay fine! What do you like?" He asked while rubbing my stomach as if he were going to make a wish.

"John... Xander... Jake... What do you like?" I asked back.

"John sounds cute." He smiled when he felt our son kick.

"Are we agreeing on John?" I asked.

"We'll see, Shay." He smiled then kissed me again just as the bell rang.

"Oh, uh, I should go." He grabbed my hips as I bit my lip.

"No, you shouldn't." He pulled me closer and kissed my neck, making me squirm.

"Brett!" I pushed him away and smiled. I started walking to class, but he soon caught up with me.

"C'mon lets skip!" He smiled while he wrapped his arm around me. I walked pass Taylor and Marissa. They looked so mad.

"I don't know, Brett." I felt an odd feeling about Marissa and Taylor.

"Shay, it'll be fun! I'll take you somewhere nice." He smirked at me. "Okay?"

"Okay."
