Having The Bad Boy's Baby (new version)

10. Jacob

December 3, 2020 (11 weeks and 2 days along )

I logged onto Twitter just for the hell of it and saw that my follow count had grown from a couple —30–to 10 thousand in a matter of days. I was shocked. How the fuck did that even happen? I looked at the notifications and saw that Brook had tagged me on a photo of me holding Grayson's hand at the carnival last Saturday. She had captioned the image with Carnival with these two boys and there was a heart at the end. The tweet alone had a whopping two thousand likes and three hundred replies.

I shook my head and decided to check instagram to see if it had changed and I wasn't even surprised to see that my follow count had also grown in a matter of days all because of a single post from Brook. This one had been of the two of us at the studio. One of her friends had taken it. It had been two days ago, actually. Brook had insisted I go to the studio with her to record a song, I was reluctant because I didn't think I was good.

"I heard you singing in the music room, so don't even try to say you're not a good singer because you are amazing, Jacob," Brook had said when I complained about not wanting to sing.

So there we sat, with me holding a guitar in my lap and her sitting beside me, "Just pretend that were alone," she had said.

It was a bit nerve wracking to say the least because I never really thought of myself recording a song. I mean I liked singing and playing various instruments but to actually record a song? That was a whole other level.

But I did as she said and just pretended that it had just been the two of us.

"Did you write any other songs other then the one you were singing in the music room?"

"Uhh, yeah," I said and she nodded with a smile,

"Then sing." She said and I sighed before I began strumming the guitar and I saw her look over her shoulder but said nothing as the song I had written came forth.

Well, I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

I wrote this song the day that Brook told me the news of her being pregnant. I knew that my life was going to change and though I was terrified, I was looking forward to it.

With arms wide open under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open, now everything has changed
I'll show you love, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open

I opened my eyes when I fished the song and jumped having forgotten where I was. I looked up to see Brook's friends, Cam and Anton, clapping on the other side of the clear glass.

"Jacob," a soft whispered voice has said making me turn to Brook to see tears running down her face but she wasn't upset, in fact she was smiling which had me confused because I didn't know whether to be worried or not, "did, is that, I can't even speak." She stuttered over her words making me chuckle.

"About our baby?" I asked and she nodded, "yeah. I, uhh, I wrote it the night you told about being pregnant."

"It's beautiful," she said and I smiled before looking at her friends,

"That song is fantastic," Anton said with his sister adding

"You need to sing more often. You have a great voice, Jacob. I'm sure if you decide to go down this path that you'll be huge."

"I actually haven't thought of making singing a career," I said rubbing the back of my neck after setting the guitar on the floor.

"You definitely should, you have an incredible voice and I have no doubt that you'll be just as popular as Brook is if you release music." Cam said but I had only shrugged at her words.

We exchanged a few words after that before Brook and I decided to head out. We went to have a late lunch before I took her home since she wanted to get Grayson before we headed to her check up. She was officially 13 weeks along. It feels surreal to think that a lot of time has passed since our first night together. I didn't think that I'd ever have a chance with her because to me she was so out of reach with her being a celebrity and all. But then again, things don't always go as you think they'd go because here I was, dating the school's 'IT' girl as people call her because of how popular she was.

Anyway, as I was saying, the photo that Cam or Anton had taken was of the two of us sitting on the ground with me holding my guitar with her sitting beside me, she and captioned the photo with I know we're young and it's early to say this... but, I hope you're the one. I smiled at the caption before commenting "I hope you're the one too" and it freaking blew up like a volcano eruption.

Of course there were a few people that were saying that our relationship was fake and that I was only using her for fame and all this crap which had me rolling my eyes. But as many of those 'hate' comments there were comments that said that they were happy for Brook and that they wished us the best. I closed out of the app and sighed.

I looked up in time to see Brook coming out of her house with Grayson and a diaper bag  slung over her shoulder and  quickly climbed out of my seat to help her. She smiled and Grayson gave me a toothy smile eyes bright with happiness upon seeing me.

"Hey there little buddy," I greeted and he babbled clapping his hands making me chuckle. "Have you been behaving for your mama?" He babbled and squealed making me chuckle, "I'll take that as a yes," I ruffled his hair before closing the door and walking towards the driver's side and got in.

"Ready?"

"Mhm"
