'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 44

Oh crap, I can't be pregnant, this cannot be happening. I spent a few days thinking about whether to tell Marshall or not, we are right back to square one where we are constantly bickering at each other, being down in each others throats. If we are not arguing or cussing each other out we pretend we don't see each other, like we don't exist to one another.

I grab my phone from my nightstand and I call up Nancy first to tell her about the pregnancy and what I should do with the baby. She picks up after three rings "Hey, what's up?" Nancy asks me, odd, her end of the line sounds quiet, usually, when I talk to her you can hear Chase rebelling, running around the house, serving his stepdad attitude, and driving Nancy crazy "not much, you free to talk?" I ask her "Yes I am but not for long since I'm getting ready for work" She tells me, and I sit up feeling nervous about telling her about the pregnancy "Amanda, are you okay?" She asks me and I haven't noticed I've gone silent for 40 seconds "I.... ummm... I'm pregnant" I bite my nail "WHAT?" Nancy yells in disbelief "You're pregnant, whose the father?" Nancy asks me "It's Marshall" I tell her "You guys had sex? I thought you guys hated each other" She yells "We did it twice last month" I stutter

"Amanda, how can you be so stupid?" Nancy sighs "How could you have slept with him twice when you guys can't stand each other" I know Nancy is disappointed "It was different, he came over to my place after he found Kim cheating on him and we had sex, he said he needed it and that I shouldn't feel special because he needed easy pussy" I feel so ashamed "Of course he did and you let him" Nancy says "It wasn't like that, he came through the door and kissed me before I had the chance to say anything" I explain "You should have kicked him in the balls and smashed his head against the wall' Nancy laughs "So when was the second time?" Oh god "We were at work and I got the call from Aubrey that Ian had died, Marshall was so sweet to me, he even drove me home" I smile a little to myself "I didn't want him in my apartment but he insisted on staying with me because we both had lost someone important" I tell her

"He cooked me dinner when I didn't have an appetite and then out of nowhere I asked if he can sleep in my room since I didn't wanna be alone" I finish "My god Amanda" She says shocked "I know I know, big mistake" I sigh "More like a huge mistake, have you thought about what you're gonna do with the baby?" Nancy asks me "I don't know, I still need to talk to Marshall about this" I tell Nancy "You need to tell him soon" Nancy says "I will" I nod "I have to go to work" Nancy says and before I can say anything she hangs up the phone.

I call up a doctor and book an appointment to have an ultrasound and now I'm getting ready for work. I haven't had my morning sickness at all and I hope I don't have one at work, when I see him at work, I need to tell him. I drive to work and enter the building, Marshall hasn't come in yet which gives me some time to prepare what I'm gonna say. I enter the gaming room which I did not know we have and I look at the arcade games, I feel like a little girl. I walk to the window and look out of it, the weather today is beautiful, it's finally sunny since it's been raining for a few days.

After some time thinking I hear Marshall's laugh and I hear a girl's laugh, I walk out of the room and see Marshall's arm wrapped around, no other than, Taylor freaking Dawson. Taylor gives me this bitchy look as I'm only looking at Marshall "Marshall, can we talk?" I ask him nervously "Get lost bitch, me and ma girl are gonna get to work, if you know what I mean" Marshall smirks at me "I can't believe you ever dated this bitch, she's so fucking ugly and I bet she is boring in bed" Taylor smirks at me "Nah this bitch is a freak in bed according to Enzo" Marshall smirks "Marshall" I holler his name for him to stop "Whose Enzo?" Taylor asks I'm in disbelief, I can't believe they are talking about me like this "Some prick she sucked in the restroom of this nightclub after Cole and her broke up" Marshall says "Good riddance, she's a whore and he was too good for her" Taylor smirks "Yeah true, he could do so much better than her" My eyes fill up with water and I run to the restroom covering my mouth, I hear laughing as I shut the door and slide down. I bring my knees up to my chest and hug them as I cry to myself quietly.

There a knock on the door "Amanda, open up" I hear Deshaun's voice "Please leave me alone" My voice cracks "I know what Marshall and Taylor said to you, please just open up" Deshaun continues to knock on the restroom door and I get up, I open the door and before we can say anything to each other, he pulls me in for a tender embrace "I'm so sorry Amanda, I don't know what's gotten into him" I'm a little short compared to Deshaun which his why his hand is placed on the back of my head "I hate him, he wants to be hated, it's just easier that way" I cry in his chest "Shhhh, I'm gonna fix this" Deshaun says and I pull away from the hug "Fix this? I don't want you to fix this okay, I don't even know if I want to keep his goddamn baby" I raise my voice at Deshaun

"My what?" I hear Marshall say in complete shock "Huh? So you stuck your dick into her" Taylor gives him an attitude "Taylor not now" Marshall looks over at her "Fuck you, Marshall, all you do is fucking lie to me" Taylor speed walks out of the building "I'll leave you two alone" Deshaun says "Don't you dare" Deshaun ignores me and walks
away "You're pregnant?" Marshall asks me surprisingly calm "Yeah, I wanted to tell you that before" I look down at my shuffling feet "How did this happen? We used a condom" I look back up at him "Not the second time, no" I shake my head "I already booked an appointment for my ultrasound on the 17th at 10am" I tell him where "If you want you can come with me and be as involved with the baby as you want, if you don't want to then I can't do anything about that, it's totally up to you" I tell him "I'll think about it' Marshall nods and heads back to work.
