Jacelyn's P.O.V
"Congratulations!" Me and Adam say at the same time. It's 12 in the afternoon and I haven't seen mom in days. I miss her. I haven't checked my phone since we've left the hopstial. I quit playing with Adam's hair and pull my phone out of my pants pocket. No texts from Jake, thank gosh. I have texts from mom and Abby, and one from Adam. I must've received Adams not long ago, or not seen it when I was texting Mariska, he texted me at midnight and told me happy birthday. I feel so bad because I didn't say thanks but he knows I'm thankful that he remembered. I text him back and say:
*thank you :) so much you were the first to tell me happy birthday. Do you want to go to moms later with me?
I check the text from mom and it reads:
*happy birthday. I hope we see you today, I love you baby doll.
*thanks mom I love you and I'll be over in a few.
"When are we gonna tell everyone?" Micah asks Mariska as he looks at the three tests.
"I don't know, I need to make an appointment first. I think once we know if everything is okay with the baby and all that we can tell family and close friends." They head over to sit on the couch.
Adam sits up on the loveseat and says," We're going to Jacelyn's mom's place because it's her birthday and I'm sure her mom will want to see her," he stands up and grabs me up with his one hand and we head out the door.
"We'll be back later," he says as he shuts the door behind him.
I drive after arguing with Adam for 5 minutes about who should drive. I made my point that he shouldn't be driving and he agreed. On our way to my mom's, Adam instructs me to stop at McDonald's to get him a sweet tea and fries. He asks me if I want anything and I get fries and a mocha frappé, those are both my favorite things from McDonald's. Once we have our order, we get back on the road.
I eat my fries every few minutes and drink my mocha. We finally are at mom's and we get out of the car. Mom will be surprised with who I'm bringing him, but I think she's always known everything that's happened, she just doesn't say anything. Before we get to the door my phone goes off real loud, singing "save me I'm lost, show me what I'm looking for." Me and Adam both stop and I pull my phone out and see that Mariska is calling me. I answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jake just came, got in his car, and left. Do you think he knows that you left back to Ider for a few hours?"
"I sure hope not, maybe he just got tired of waiting for us to come back or something and just wanted to leave, I hope he's not up to anything."
"Me too. I'll let you go so you can spend time with your mom, see you when you get back," she hangs up.
"Is everything okay?" Adam asks me.
"I think so. Mariska said Jake showed up, got in his car, and left."
"Good the s.o.b can stay away because you're all mine," he kisses me on the cheek.
"Am I really?" I meant the question in a both serious and playful way and I think he caught on, because he just put his head down and said,"
Let's go inside," and that's what we do.
"Jacelyn!" My mom rushes to the door to hug me and I hug her back as she squeezes me.
"Hey Adam," she says as she pulls away from me to give him a hug.
"Hey Mrs. Grays."
"How many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Tara," she smiles at him.
"Are you guys hungry?" Mom asks.
"Yes, how about you Adam? Are you hungry?"
"Yeah, I'll have something to eat," we both follow mom to the kitchen and she has fresh fruit and vegetables cut up on her butterfly trays, along with cheese, ham, turkey, and crackers. I grab a plate and fill it up with two of everything. I go back to sit in the living room and mom brings me and Adam a water.
"Is water okay with you guys? I have other drinks if you want something else."
"I'm fine with water," Adam nods as if he's saying he's fine with it too.
We stay at moms for a long while and I tell her I'm living with Mariska and Micah over in Fort Payne. When we leave it's 5:30. I miss my mom a lot. She's all I had growing up and now I'm 18 and moved out (kinda?) and I miss her everyday. I drive back home and Adam falls asleep. He must be tired from his pain medicine he has to take.
We get back to Micah's, and walk in. We all talk for a while and watch some movie that came on and we all go to bed. It's 8 something now. Me and Adam sleep in the same room, same bed, and everything. Even though I dated Jake for a while we never slept in the same bed together. I refused to. I don't know why,I just did.
I go to the bathroom thatb will be mine and Adam's for a while and start the water for a quick shower. I'm in and out in 10 minutes. I towel-dry my hair, brush my teeth, and clean my face. I put on my cut off shirt and my gray stretchy shorts, they're a little bit short but oh well it's bedtime and I'm tired. I don't care. I turn the bathroom light off and head back to our room. I love saying that.
I run and jump on the bed and my hair gets all over Adam.
"Ew, you little butt. Your hair is damp," he laughs and pushes it off of him.
"Oh, I'm sorry little fart," we always aggravate each other like this and it's one of the things I like about us being around each other.
"It's okay," he smiles, " we need to go to sleep I'm really tired."
"Okay, goodnight," I roll over on my side and close my eyes. I feel Adam grab my side and pull me closer to him. Not long after we're both asleep.
Mariska's P.O.V
All of us go to bed early and I go to take a shower before I lay down. I feel nasty because I haven't had a shower since yesterday morning.
I let the cool water run over me and clear my mind. I think of everything I have to do tomorrow. I have to call the O.B.G.Y.N to get an appointment and then go to another doctor for mine and the baby's help I hate calling this baby 'the baby' I can't wait to know what mine and Micah's little peanut will be. I get out of the shower and dry off. I put my pajamas on and go lay down in bed with Micah.
He plays with my damp hair and we lay there in silence. I don't know what to say. I roll over and scoot my body closer to his. He rubs his hand on my stomach and I get goosebumps, his hands are cold.
"I can't believe we have a little baby."
"Me either, it's crazy."
I eventually fall asleep and sometime in my sleep Micah out his leg over me and I'm tangled in his arms.
