I sat in the car, head on the steering wheel and refusing to drive. "I can't. I just can't. Why do things have to go this way?" I muttered.

"It's not like we planned this." Seth said putting a hand to my back in attempt to comfort me.

I glared at him. "Because we didn't plan this. I thought this was a result of me and Aryia. But realizing when I was told I was 2-3 months along the time didn't add up..."

"Sorry." Seth said in defense, removing his arm from my back.

"Sorry doesn't fix the fact that I'm having a child with my ex boyfriend who's now dating one of my best friends. All while I'm dating someone else.." I whined slamming my head against the wheel once.

"We can't just sit here in this parking spot."

"Well we can't go home either! I can't go home to Aryia...he'll ask how the appointment was! It might accidentally slip out... I'm scared." I say lifting my head to look at Seth.

"Okay first, let's take a breath. Breathe..." says Seth instructing me. "Good. Now secondly, stop worrying. Everything will be okay. Nobody has to know that this child isn't Aryias, okay?"

I sniffled and used my sleeve to rub my nose. "I have to lie? You want me to lie to my own boyfriend and my best friend who is your girlfriend might I add...that this child is biologically Aryias?"

"This may be our only way." Seth sighed.

"But we know the babies not gonna have any similar traits to Aryia. He's already been bending down to my stomach and talking to the child..telling it that he loves it so much. It'll break his heart.." I frowned once more, wiping away more tears.

"I got it!"

"Got what, Seth?" I asked.

"Listen. Let's wait until after the child is born okay? If it ever gets brought up then we'll talk. If not then it's no biggie, right? Otherwise we'll just wait until the child is older.." he suggested.

"You really think that kind of a secret can be kept that long?"

"Of course it can."

"If it's our only option then I guess we have to."

We were now back at my house, Aryia wasn't home yet. We were sitting in the kitchen.

"Would you like some tea?" I asked Seth not wanting to be rude. "I got Milo's in stock. A few gallons, and I also got some diet blackberry tea."

"I really should be going..I don't want Aryia assuming anything when he sees my car in the driveway." Seth says getting up and walking to to door.

"Are you sure?" I asked walking to the door with him.

"Yeah, don't worry about me. Like I said I don't want Aryia assuming anythi-"

The door opened right as Seth was about to finish the sentence. "Oh hey babe." Aryia greeted me with a kiss.

"Hi, love." I say greeting him.

"What's Seth doing here?" He asked not hesitating.

"He went to my appointment with me..remember?"

"Katie couldn't go? Or Lyra? Heck even Colby?!"

"They we're all busy. Trust me I considered Kevin too but realized he was the one that you just happened to go visit."

"Chill man, I'm not trying to steal her I have my own girl. So what if I texted her and asked her what she was up to?" Seth said stepping up to Aryia. "She asked me to take her so I did. At least I was there for her, and the child isn't even mine."

Ouch.

I realize now how cringey this story may be getting due to the recent chapters and I do apologize for that.

I do hope that you continue to show this story support in anyway you see fit.

I feel so crappy though for writing it this way but then I was rereading and realized the timeline didn't match so instead of editing I just wrote it like this in hopes that it would be better. I guess I will see.
