TOBYS POV
I walk into the garage with Happy by my side. Happy is now 4 1/2 months pregnant, she's getting really antsy. I try to take really good care of her and help her as much as I can. She's amazing.
"Where's Meghan?" I ask Paige. Meghan is only about a week pregnant so she looks no different.
"I'm not sure she went up to her room with Jasper about an hour ago. He said he needed to tell her something." Paige responds.
"Oh no." I respond.
"What do you mean?" Walter asks from the fridge where he is getting a water. He passes me one.
"He's not staying." I say calmly even though I am internally freaking out.
"Shit." I hear Paige say under her breath.
"YOUR WHAT?" I hear Meghan shout from upstairs. There's a short silence.
"GET OUT OF THE FREAKIN GARAGE YOU BASTARD!" Meghan shouts we see Jasper run out of the garage. I look at the team who is standing there with their mouths wide opened. Meghan comes storming down stairs and sits on the kitchen counter. She is wearing a slightly cropped Adidas shirt, you could only see a bit of her stomach, her distressed jeans and and white printed nike shoes (Picture in media). She's so young, only sixteen, but she's so tough.
"What the hell just happened?" Happy asks Meghan.
"Remember when I said Jasper was kind of like Toby?" She asks looking at us.
"Yeah." Happy responds.
"Well I was shit wrong."
"What do you mean?" Paige asks.
"Jaspers leaving. He said he didn't want to deal with this and he couldn't handle it." She says looking away now. You could hear the sadness and anger in her voice.
"Meghan I'm sorry." Paige says.
"Yeah me too." Meghan responds.
"What did I tell you?" I whisper to everybody except Meghan, but apparently not quiet enough.
"YOU KNEW?!" Meghan shouts
"Well I may have had an idea."
"And you didn't tell me?!"
"I didn't think you would want to know."
"Screw you." She says walking away and up the stairs. I look at the team and Happy punches me in the arm.
"May have misplayed that one." I say rubbing my shoulder.
"Yeah no kidding." Happy responds. We hear a huge bang upstairs.
"What was that?" I ask.
"I believe that was Meghan punching a wall." Happy responds. Paige goes running upstairs. We follow but don't go into her room, only Paige goes in we watch from the door way.
"Are you ok?" She asks quietly sitting on Meghan's bed (Picture in media).
"I don't know." She responds looking down, you could see a tear slip down her cheek but she quickly wipes it away.
"Are you mad at Toby?" Paige asks
"Not really, he was just trying to protect my feelings. I'm pissed at Jasper. I never thought he would do this to me." She says a tear slipping down her cheek again, this time she doesn't wipe it away.
"Some guys are jerks, but I promise you that you will find your definition of the 'Perfect Guy' one day." Paige says looking at Meghan.
"Did you?" She asks.
"Yeah... I think I did." She responds, she looks up and sees us standing there, her face turns red and she quickly turns back to Meghan.
"And Meghan, I know you could do this. Your a tough girl who can take great care of this child. I promise. And I also promise that you won't be alone, you've got a room full of geniuses and two normals. One of which has already been pregnant. " Paige says smiling softly at Meghan. Meghan shows a small slightly visible smile. Then we all walk in.
"Yeah we've got you back, don't worry." I say sitting down next to Meghan.
"You're going to be a fantastic mom." Walter says sitting next to Paige.
"We can do this together." Happy says.
"Yeah we can." Meghan responds giving her a hug.
"We love you." Sylvester says for us because we didn't know how to say it. Meghan gives us each a hug.
"Hey your knuckles are bleeding." Paige points out.
"Oh yeah that's from punching the wall." Meghan responds, we all turn our attention to the hole in the wall.
"You've got a pretty nice punch there." Happy says looking at the hole in the wall and then at Meghan's knuckles.
"Oh thanks, my mom used to be a professional boxer before I was born and I used to have a punching bag in my room." She says looking down at her bleeding knuckles.
"Do you want me to wrap your knuckles?" I ask her.
"No thanks I'm good." She responds.
"It wasn't really a question." I say getting my first aid kit and getting the ace bandage out. I put gauze on her cuts and wrap it with the ace bandage.
"Thanks Toby." She says to me.
"Your welcome and sorry for not telling you. I thought I was trying to protect you." I say when I finish wrapping her hand.
"It's ok Toby, I know it was out of love." She responds.
"So does anybody want to hear another video of Meghan singing?" I say taking out my iPad.
"Don't you dare!" She shouts running out of the room after me.
