One Night Stand? More Like Nine Months Chapter 4

(Chapter Four)

Alex’s POV

I watched her leave. What the hell am I going to do?

“Alex?” Jack asked knocking on the opened door with the guys behind him.

“Yeah.” I said sitting down on the edge of my bed.

“What the hell happened?” He asked walking into the room.

“Do I really need to repeat what you guys already heard?” I asked with a weak smile. They all stayed quiet. Rian was the first to speak to speak up

“What the hell is your problem, Alex?” He asked with disappointment in his eyes.

“It was a mistake, it was graduation-”

“No, how could you tell her to get an abortion? I’m not mad about you getting her pregnant, I’m fucking pissed at how you can say something like that. Did you not see how scared she is? And you go and pull a dick move like that?” He said shaking his head. I got mad because what he said was the truth but who was he to tell me.

“Well what the fuck, Rian? What did you want me to say? That I’ll stay and hold your hand? Drop the band and fuck us all over at what we worked our asses off for to raise a baby?” I yelled getting up from the bed. I am two seconds away from not being the only one getting punched in the face.

“It’s not just a baby, it’s your baby.” That was a slap on the face. It’s my baby…

“And the band?” I asked.

“Fuck the band, man, we have a bigger problem right now. Plus, we got signed already, if they drop us they drop us. We did it once we can do it again.” Jack jumped in.

“Go talk to her, Alex.” Zack said throwing my keys to me. I caught them and looked down at my hand. Everything that they said was true but can I really do this, raise a baby? I closed my hand around the keys and shook my head.

“I’ll be back.” I said and ran out my bedroom only to run back in. “Thanks, you guys.” I said with a smile.

“Go.” They all said at the same time. I ran back out of the room and to my car. I got into my car and started my baby up. She won’t be my only baby for now on My heart skipped a few beats with that thought. Shaking it off, I backed out of the drive way and started off to Jennifer’s house. I thought of things to say to her but nothing came to mind as I drove to her house. Me? A dad? I can’t raise a child, I barely managed to take care of myself. Fuck, what is mom and dad going say? I thought parking in front of her house.

“Come on, you big ol’ girl. Go talk to her.” I said to myself as I banged my head on the stirring wheel.” I stopped and left my head on the wheel. “God, my life had turned into a goddamn soap opera.” I said under my breathe. A five minutes have passed and I am still sitting in the car, thinking of the pros and cons on talking to her when there was a light tap on the passenger side window. Looking up I unlock the door. I watch as she slide in the car, shutting the door silently. We both stayed quiet.

“Hey.” Nice. Pussy. My brain yelled. She’s pregnant and all you say is ‘hey’, real smooth, dip-shit.

“Hi. Sorry about punching you.” Jennifer said biting her lip. God, she does look scared to death. As fragile as she is she still is a beauty. Smart and loving, she would make a great mother.

“Ha!” I laughed out loud, “You did punch me, that’s horrible.” I said with a light laugh.

“You’re retarded.” She said sharing the laugh with me. Her hands were holding her stomach. Huh…

“I am, and I’m sorry for what I said in the room.” I said turning in my seat to look at her better.

“It’s okay, we both said some things earlier.” Jennifer said with a shrug in an end-of-story kind of way. Okay…take a different route

“What do we do?”

“I really don’t know.”

“Well, for starters we need to tell our parents.” I said stating the obvious.

“I know but I can’t. It’s just way too hard to tell someone about this.” She said looking at her stomach.

“You told me.” I tried.

“That was out of rage and when I left I felt dumb for telling you.”

“But I over reacted-”

“No, because that would’ve been my reaction and think of our parents. If you reacted like that, how do you think they are going to take it? I don’t think they are going to be excited or be calm the way Brea was. I’m dead, Alex, no matter how we tell them.”

“Jen, you aren’t factoring in the two things we have.” I said.

“And what is that?” She asked turning her head to me.

“One, our parents are friends and two, your mom loves me.” I said feeling confident in telling our parents, well her parents at least.

“I don’t know. It’s just too soon to tell them. I don’t even know how far along I am.” She said chewing on her lip harder.

“Okay, we need to know how far along you are so why don’t we set up an appointment?” I asked staring at her mouth.

“Okay, I’ll try to set one up for this weekend.”

“Okay, I’ll drive us there.” I said.

“What?” She asked quickly.

“I’ll. Drive. Us. There.” I said again, this time slower

“No, you don’t have to, I mean I know that you guys are going on tour and I don’t want to get in the way of everything.” She protested.

“Jen, none of that matters right now.” I said truly meaning it, with what the guys said and how she trying to be strong I know I have to stay, that she needs me more then what she wants to admit. The band is going to have to be put on a pause for now , just for a few weeks. Tops.

Jen’s POV

“Jen, none of that matters right know.” He said. How could it not matter

“What are you taking about?” I asked angrily.

“What do you mean?”

“How isn’t going on tour not matter to you? You’ve been waiting your whole lives for this and you are going to throw it away? I watched you during practice and went to all of your shows, how does this not matter?” I asked shaking my head at him.

“Okay, it does matter but not as much as you do to me. Jennifer, you’re pregnant, with my baby.” Alex said taking my hand in his and giving it a light squeeze.

“Fuck me.” I groaned. 

“I already did, ergo why we are here in the first place.” he said trying to lighten the mood.

My cheeks started to burn. “Shut up, Gaskarth.” I said swiping at his chest with the hand he was holding. He chuckled and reached for my hand again.

“We’re in this together, Reyes.”

“All three of us.” I said rubbing my stomach with my free hand.
