Chesney Anderson didn't know anything about wedding venues or getting married but we had a venue in our family for generations. My mother ran it until she passed away unexpectedly and I was left to make people's wedding dreams come true.
With it nee...

It has been a month since I took over Forever Fountain and things are going smoothly.
I gave Whitney a raise because she does way too much and I gave Dwight one as well.
Stone has the venue looking so good I couldn't be happier.
We have been hanging out a lot and still having sex just not putting a label on what is going on.
I haven't been feeling good lately and I am kinda grouchy and can't even stand myself.
I was in my office working on paying some bills when it clicked.
Oh shit. When did I have my period last?
I stop what I am doing and snatch my bag up and rush out the door and run down to the local grocery store. I can't go to Clay's gas station and chance being caught.
I grab a drink, a chocolate bar, and a couple of pregnancy tests. I didn't have time to go home to take the tests so I will just have to take them in my office.
I walk back in and wave to Whitney.
"Are you ok Chesney?"
"Yeah sorry, terrible headache so I went to get some medicine."
"I could have given you some ibuprofen." She smiled.
"Thanks, I will remember that for next time." I smiled heading to my office.
I set my drink and candy bar on the desk and rushed into the bathroom with the tests. I lock the door and grab a plastic cup on the sink to drink water out of and peed in it and then dipped the sticks.
I set a timer and it's the longest wait of my life. Pregnant? How can I be pregnant? I will be a horrible mother just like my own. I didn't have a good role model growing up.
I begin to cry before even knowing if I am or not. I am falling to pieces and just try and breathe when the timer goes off.
I slowly pick the stick up and turn it over. I take a deep breath and look at it and the words are staring back at me. Pregnant.
How am I going to be a mother? I need to make a doctor's appointment and I am going to have to ask Whitney for a gynecologist's name and number.
I wipe my face and pick up the sticks and put them in my purse before walking out to the reception area.
"Hey Whit can you recommend a good gynecologist? It's time for my yearly and I have no idea where to go."
"Sure I can call and see if I can get you in with my doctor. "Dr. Nickels is the best."
"Thanks, I would appreciate it." I smile.
I look outside and see Stone at the fountain.
"What is Stone doing here?"
"I am not sure he hasn't come inside."
I walk outside and to the fountain and all I can think about is that is my baby daddy.
He looked up and smiled when he saw me walking his way. "Hey there!"
"Hey Stone! What are you doing here?"
"I stopped by to clean the fountain for you."
"Thanks, I forgot."
"Umm do you want to grab some dinner this evening?"
"I can't. I need to sort through some of moms stuff. A rain check?"
"Sure that sounds good Chesney. Well after I do this I am headed home. If you get bored come over."
"Thanks, Stone." I smiled and turned and went back to my office. I feel like I am being suspicious or something.
When I walk back in and set at my desk I feel like I let out that breath of air I was holding in.
I place my hand on my belly. I can't believe I am pregnant.
I looked up and Stone was standing in my doorway frowning. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, it seems like you are trying to avoid me."
"I am sorry Stone. I just want to go through all that crap so I can throw it away. I am sick of looking at it."
"I understand. I just wanted to make sure that we are ok."
"We are fine. Thanks for checking on me Stone."
"Call me later?"
"I will if it doesn't get too late. Have a good night."
"You to Chesney." He smiled.
When he walked out the door I felt bad for pushing him away but I need to deal with this on my own.
After work, I headed home and changed clothes, and went to the basement to look through this crap. Most of it was garbage and Clay doesn't want any of it unless it was dads.
After I went through a good bit of it I went upstairs and grabbed something to eat and went to my room and opened the journal.
I read page after page and most of it was about how she needed to keep her claws in dad and she hated the thought of a baby ruining her figure.
I never even gave that a thought. I mean a baby is supposed to bring joy. Here I am single and pregnant.
When I tell Stone he is going to be a father he isn't going to want anything to do with me.
I close the book and throw it on my bed when Clay walks in.
"Sis, you ok?"
"Yeah been going through that crap and reading on this journal. She didn't care about having a baby she just didn't want her figure to be messed up."
"Sis you can't let that get to you because mom was a royal bitch and she hated the both of us and you can't let that keep rent in your head."
"Thanks, Clay."
"How about some chocolate ice cream with chocolate chip cookies like old times?"
"That sounds delicious."
I get off the bed and follow him to the kitchen.
"So you and Whitney stayed the night together huh?"
He blushed. "Yeah, we did."
"Did you do the monkey mambo?"
He choked on his spit. "Chesney!"
I can't help but giggle at him as I eat my cookie.
