Nerd Girl

Chapter 27

Chad's POV

I couldn't tell Isabelle it was Heather for reasons I'm not going to get into, so now that Heather told me that I was the father of her child. I am doing everything I can to be in her life. I do not want to turn out like my father. I was done with practice, so I decided to go over to Heather's house. On my way there I picked up some things for her and the baby, well I can't really call her a baby if she's already two years old, but I still got her a teddy bear. I got to the house an walked up the door, when I knocked Heather opened it holding Jacquelyn, she moved out of the way without saying anything and let me in. She walked into the kitchen and I followed, she sat Jacquelyn in her high chair and I stood by the doorway

"I didn't come here to fight with you Heath, I just came to drop off somethings for you and Jacquelyn" I said, she closed the fridge and looked at me

"We don't need anything from you, we're just fine" she said sitting at the counter

I slowly walked in and sat across from her putting the bags on the table "Heather please you at least owe it to me to help you guys out" I said, she stared at me and then turned to the bags. she took out the food and then got out the teddy bear "Its's for Jacquelyn, I thought she'd like it" I shrugged, she raised an eyebrow but handed it to her. The smile on her face made my day a little better

"So do you still hang out with your little football buddies" I nodded slowly, she scoffed

I looked at her "I'm not like I was in 10th grade, what is it going to take for me to show you that" I said frustrated, she simply shrugged then I thought of an idea "I know, go to prom with me" I said, she stared at me

"No, I can't who's gonna watch Jacquelyn, what am I gonna wear, I don't even know anyone that's going" she said shaking her head no

"I can get someone to watch Jacky, you can pick out a dress this weekend and you know at least three people that are going" I said, she looked at me

"Who do I know that's going" she said tilting her head to the side

"Well besides me, you know Shawn and Isabelle" I mumbled Isabelle's name, she raised her eyebrows

"Who?" she said crossing her arms

I sighed "Isabelle" I said looking at her

"Oh, that's who I thought you said" she said

"I also kinda told her I have a child" I told her looking at the counter

"You told the one person that I thought you hated that you had a child, did you tell her it was me" she asked panicky

"No, I didn't tell her because if I had told her it was you she would hate me" I said, she nodded agreeing

"Yea she probably would, knowing how Belle could be in a situation like this, but then again she'll hate me too for not telling her in the first place" she said, I looked over at a sleeping Jacquelyn and got up and picked her up. She buried her head in the crook of my neck and I smiled

"Where's her room" I asked, Heather stared at me for a second with distant eyes then snapped back to reality

"Upstairs second door on your right" she said, I nodded

I walked the stairs and took her to her room. I laid her down and she was cuddling with the teddy bear I gave her, I stared at her smoothing her hair back. She looked like me and my mother. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. I turned around and Heather was in the doorway, I walked out and quietly shut the door. We walked back downstairs and sat down on the couch

"So is that a yes to going with me to the prom" I said searching her face for an answer, she huffed and breathed a laugh

"Yes I'll go with you" she said, I smiled at her an she smiled back
