The One Night Stand {An August Alsina Story}

Chapter 31.

~Bethany~

The reunion had been pretty good so far even though I'd been hiding my stomach all day.

I wasn't ashamed of my baby, but it just didn't feel like the right time yet.

Right then, everyone was sitting down at a long picnic table about to have dinner.

Although Veronica had been sending me dirty looks all day and smirking like she knew something I didn't, I ignored her.

I hadn't heard from Derek all day.

No texts, calls or voicemails.

Nada.

I expected this from August, but not Derek.

On the bright side, Sebastian hadn't left my side all day except to beat my dad and uncles at domino and poker.

I'm just glad he showed up or I probably would have left.

My grandmother shushed everyone and began to say grace.

"Amen." We all chorused when she finished.

Sebastian looked at all the food on my plate with a raised eyebrow.

"Hush." I mugged him and dug in.

He knew damn well I was eating for two.

He slapped my hand when I tried to steal a roll from his plate.

"Hell no, Bethany. Eat what you got." He scolded, bucking at me.

Boy bye.

I pouted and continue eating.

"B." He nudged me and I ignore him. "Bethany."

I scooted away a little.

Yeah I'm petty but dang, it was just one roll.

He leaned over and kissed my temple.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want you to eat too much." He said.

Aw.

"Okay."I blushed and pushed his face away.

"You two are just adorable." My Aunt Caroline smiled at us. "When y'all gone have some babies?"

Veronica snickered. "Too late for that."

I closed my eyes and mentally groaned .

"Veronica!" Chris shook his head at her.

"What! Damn, I'm just telling the truth." She rolled her eyes.

I looked up to see the confusion on my parents face.

"Bethany, what is she talking about?" My mother looked from me to Veronica.

"Go ahead, sis." Veronica smirked at me. "Tell her the great news."

"Veronica, stop!" Chris hissed. "This isn't your business."

"Shut the hell up, Christopher." She glared at him.

"Dammit! What the hell is going on!" My father slammed his hand on the table making me jump.

I guessed then was the right time...

Sebastian placed his hand on my thigh under the table reassuringly.

"Um...Mom, Dad." I said quietly.

"What is it?" They both say.

I take a deep breath.

"I-I'm pregnant."
