She's mine

58

"I'm pregnant."

Eddie looked up at me from the flash cards.

"Shit." He mumbled looking at me. I bit my lip nodding my head.

"Yeah, shit. I'm two months apparently."

Eddie looked at me and stood up rubbing his face.

"Two months. So oh fuck."

I chuckled a little laugh nodding my head. "Yeah I know. I found out last week. I haven't told Billy. I don't know if it's yours or his. Which makes it complicated."

Eddie looked at me sitting down beside me. "If it's Billy's then I'm happy for you guys. If it happens to be mine, you know I'll support whatever you decide Nat. I don't want what happened between me and you to fuck you and Billy up."

I looked at Eddie nodding my head "I know. I have a appointment today. Will you come with me?"

Eddie looked at me smiling "of course I will sweetheart."

Eddie looked at me wiping my tears away and hugging me.

"We will figure it all out I promise."

I nodded my head as I clung onto Eddie and the hug. After we studied for another two hours we headed to my appointment.

"Todays an exciting day huh natalie. Hi I'm doctor evans."

Eddie shook her hand smiling "hi I'm Natalie's friend. Here for support."

Evans nodded her head and went straight to the ultrasound.

"Okay. Everything looks good. Strong heart beat. Good size. Movement is fantastic as well. Okay let's find out your due date."

I grabbed Eddie's hand and he looked down at me but he didn't say anything. I was nervous and so was he. Deep down I knew neither Billy or Eddie was ready for a kid. Hell neither was I but it happened. I couldn't do anything about it. After a few long dreadful minutes evans spoke up again.

"Your due date is February 16th."

After my appointment eddie and I headed to his house.

"So how do we figure out if it's mine or Billy's?"

I looked at Eddie grabbing his calendar from the wall as I sat down on his bed.

"By counting backwards from my due date."

Eddie looked at me nodding his head as he lit a cigarette. I honestly couldn't help but smile at his worried manner. I went to February 16th and I counted backwards.

"It's Billy's."

Eddie sighed "oh thank fucking god."

I looked at Eddie and started laughing hysterically.

"I'm sorry I'm just not ready for a kid. I would have stepped up if it was mine, but me and you ain't in love Nat. That kid woulda been fucked up. What you and Billy have is real. Me and you was just some sex between friends."

I looked at Eddie walking over to him hugging him.

"Thanks for not letting all of this ruin our friendship Eddie. Your a really great friend. Really. One day your gonna find someone who is absolutely perfect for you."

Eddie smiled at me "yeah I know. Hopefully she lives in California."

I looked at Eddie and started laughing again before we got back to studying. I got home just as my phone started ringing.

"Hi lover boy."

Billy started laughing as soon as I answered the phone.

"Hi Princess. I miss you. I'm trying not to bug you but fuck I really miss you."

I couldn't help but smile.

"I miss you too. It's definitely been a long fucking week."
"What's wrong?" Billy asked in a serious tone.

I sighed heavily as I walked into the kitchen to make me something to eat.

"Uhm god I hate doing this over the phone."

I wanted to tell him in person. I didn't wanna tell him he was about to be a dad over the phone, but it's not like I could just drive over to his house.

"Princess what's going on? Talk to me."

I took a deep breath and I sighed heavily.

"I'm pregnant."

There was a pretty decently long pause on the phone. I honestly thought Billy hung up on me. The next thing I knew was the huge scream blasting into my ear.

"OH MY GOD! IM GONNA BE A DAD! MAX!!!!! MAX NATALIE IS PREGNANT! OH MY GOD!"

I couldn't help but laugh as I listened to Billy and max both scream on the other end of the phone in pure happiness.

"IM GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!"

I started laughing and crying at the same time.

"Oh shit she's crying." Max mumbled stopping the celebration between them.

"Baby what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

I couldn't stop my tears so I spoke in between them.

"I'm sorry. It's just it sucks I had to tell you guys over the phone. I wanted to tell you in person but I couldn't, and I totally freaked out when I found out. I thought it was Eddie's and I just really miss you guys and it would be great if you guys were here with me. What if I fuck something up?"

I could hear Billy laughing gently.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I whined as I wiped my tears away.

"Because baby your hormones all fucked up. It's kinda cute. Your gonna be okay I promise. It's gonna be no time before your in California with us. You should have called me though. I never want you to feel like you are alone in anything princess."

I smiled wiping my tears away.

"Your not mad? Really?"
"No baby I'm not mad. You and Eddie are in the past. It's understandable why you woulda thought that."

I chuckled lowly "I really love you. You know that right?"
"Yeah baby. I know. I love you too."

I couldn't help but smile as I was still crying.

"Baby you have to calm down. Stop crying."
"I can't help it. I'm sorry."

Billy instantly laughed at me "don't apologize for being hormonal princess. Your okay, we're okay, everything is okay Princess. I promise."

Billy and I spent hours on the phone together. I ate while on the phone and got ready for bed. I must have fallen asleep while on the phone with him because I woke up the next morning in bed still holding my phone.

I rolled over plugging my phone in and going to the bathroom. That became a normal routine for Billy and me. I would go to school then study with Eddie and go home to talk to Billy until one of us fell asleep.
