My Growing Heartache

Chapter 33: The Truth.

"Kennise Dianne Richmonds, what did you say." He asks again. I hate when he calls out my government.  

"I said that I'm fucking pregnant William!" I yell.  

"If you're doing this because of what I told you, that's not funny." He said.  

"I'm not, I have the paper to prove it." I slightly whisper, getting teary-eyed. I walk to my purse, taking out the paper, prescription, and the pills and bringing them to William, "When I said I went to the clinic and they gave me vitamins, I wasn't lying. I went there to make sure the tests were right and they told me I'm pregnant, then they prescribed me prenatal vitamins. I wasn't going to tell you just yet because I wasn't sure how to and when I showed you the tests and you said what you said, I got scared." I say, looking up into his eyes so he knows I'm not lying. 

"How far along are you?" He asked, rubbing his jaw.  

"Two and a half weeks." I respond.  

"Come here." He says, motioning to me, after a long pause and a sigh. I did as he said and walk over to him. He pulled into a hug and I smiled to myself because he took the news way better then I thought. I know this is really hard on his part, hell, it's hard for the both of us, but things happen.  "We'll find a way to make it work..." He whispered, kissing the top of my head and I nod.

Will's POV: 

I didn't know what or how to think. Aren't those stupid tests supposed to work? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I've got her and I'll be the father to that child no matter what, but I don't know what my parents will say or even do. 

"What's wrong?" She asks, looking up at me.  

"Nothing. You should go get some rest." I tell her, not wanting to make her worry.  

"I really should." She said with a yawn. I follow her to her room and we lay down on her bed. I hold her and, instinctively, my hand rests on her belly. I feel her smile against my chest as she puts her hand on top of mine. I thought about what I should do while Kenz was falling asleep and when she was in deep sleep, I got up as quietly as I could and give her a light peck. I head out her house and back over to mine.  

"Ah, brother! It is so nice of you to join me!" My 19 year old brother, Blake, says as I close the front door and go into the living room.  

"Oh, shut up. You know where I was." I reply a little harsh.  

"No need to get feisty!" He says with a laugh. I roll my eyes and drop down onto the couch next to him. "I went to work today," Blake says, proud.  

Today was his first day at his new job because our parents feel that he lacks work ethic since he came back home after dropping out of college since it was 'too hard'.  

"There was this one girl who came in, she was with her friend, and boy was her friend beautiful. Anyways, she looked about your age, turns out she's pregnant. My first day and I'm already dealing with these interesting files. This job seems promising." Once he said that, I knew he was talking about Kenz because he works at a clinic.  

"William, are you alright? Why do you look so zoned out?" He asked.  

"Because, that girl that went to the clinic today is my girlfriend and she's pregnant with my baby." I confess, ignoring his first question and answering his second one..He just shakes his head and chuckles. 

"Mom and dad are going to kill you.." he warns.  

"I know, but...I love her. Hell, I even think I'm in love with her. And she was told she couldn't have kids, that's why I'm happy about this baby." I cut him off.
