Matthew POV
"I'm going to be a father?" I asked Joey, shocked. "Yes" she said, tears rolled down her face. "I don't know if it's good or bad" she added. "Me either" I said. "I don't get it. We were protected" she said. "I don't know. Maybe it broke or something. I have no idea" I said. "Fuck. I'm absolutely fucked. I'm meant to be graduating, not raising a child. What the fuck am i meant to do. I don't want a child at this age, I don't want to go through that. I want to live my life to the fullest and I can't do that with a child at the age of 17" Joey said crying and throwing things. "Jo, you need to calm down" I said to her. "No. Do not tell me to calm down Matthew. I don't understand how this fucking happened. What the fuck" she said. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. But what ever, there's nothing we can do about it. There is 3 things you can do. Have the baby, have the baby and give it to a family, get an abort-" i started to say before I got cut off by Joey she stood up and started to raise her voice, "DO NOT EVEN GO THERE! YOU KNOW I WOULD NEVER EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT THE LAST OPTION. Why would you even suggest that. I can't believe you" she said, i looked down at my hands, "if I keep the baby you won't be there, you will just run. Its easy for you to run, but I can't. I don't know what to fucking do" Joey added, she dropped to the floor and just cried. She laid there holding herself, and cried. "I'm going to call Nash" I said to her. I didn't get a response from her. "Yo Nash can you please get here as soon as you can" I said as Nash answered my call, "yeah man I'm at the cafe next door to your house so I'll be two seconds" he said, "ok bro". I ended the call and walked over to where Joey was laying on the floor, "Nash will be here any second now, ok?" I said softly to her, She nodded her head as she sobbed. Nash walked in and sat on the floor next to her. "Princess come here" he said putting his hands on her hips and trying to lift her over to him. She slightly got up and he pulled her into his lap where she laid and cried. Nash looked up at me I shook my head and sat on the chair that was behind me and put my head in my hands. "I don't know what to do bro" I said to him. "Yeah I know" he said.
Nash POV
"Sweetie you need to calm down, I know it's hard but you need to, if not for you then for me" I softly spoke to the love of my life who was currently crying and laying across my lap as I brushed her hair out of her face which tears were rolling down. "Nash take her into the spare room to lay down for a bit" Matt said, I nodded and thanked him. I picked up Joey and laid her on the bed in Matt's spare room, I went to walk back out to Matt but I felt hands wrap around my arm, "lay with me" Joey's cute voice muttered at me. I shyly smiled and laid down next to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and stomach. "What should I do?" Joey questioned me. "What ever feels right" I said squeezing her a little tighter. "But I don't know what that is" she said, I could hear in her voice she was about to start crying. "Baby calm down. Please don't cry, we will get through this I promise, it might be hard but it's nothing we can't work through" I said giving he a soft kiss on the neck. She turned over to face me, my arms still wrapped around her, she kissed my nose, I smiled. "Promise you will be here for me no matter what" she said to me. "I promise baby" I said bringing her closer to my chest. "I know I shouldn't be asking you to promise that since I'm the worst girlfriend ever" she said. "Hey! Don't say that, you are not" I said. "Yeah I am. I'm not even pregnant with my own boyfriends fucking baby. I'm pretty sure that classifies me as the worlds worst girlfriend" she said. I shook my head.
"Nash I don't want this. I want a life, I want to graduate and go do something big in the world, but I love this baby, he she is mine and I can't change that." Joey said after we laid there in silence for about 20 minutes, i didn't say anything, I just kissed her and said we are going to the doctor with Matt so he can be told all the details. We planned to do it next week.
A week went by and I drove Matt, myself and Joey to the doctors. We only had to wait 5 minutes because we were booked in, "Josephine-Ariana Dallas" a midwife called, the three of us went in and watched Joey get an ultra sound, "ok so your about 10 weeks pregnant, does that sound about right?" The midwife asked Joey. "Yes" Joey said to her. The midwife put the gel on Joey's stomach.
Matt myself and Joey watched the screen which her ultrasound was coming up on, "ok so you can see a little something right there" the midwife said pointing to the screen. "And you should be able to hear the heart beat, but the sound mustn't be on" she added.
She played with the sound, as she did that Joey looked up at me with a worried look on her face, it was almost like she could tell something bad was happening. "That's strange, it's up full blast" the midwife said. She zoomed in on the ultrasound and looked at all the writing that was on the screen which tells you the heart beat and stuff.
"Ok could you please step outside and go into the first door on your left" the midwife said to us as she wiped off the gel from Joey's stomach. We got up and did as she asked. A few minutes later she came in, "ok so Josephine is it?" She asked. Joey nodded. "You want the boys to know everything that I need to tell you?" She asked joey, "yes of coarse" Joey said as she squeezed my hand. "I'm very sorry to tell you this" the midwife said and paused for a second. "you have lost your baby" she finished. Joey began to shake. She stared at the midwife and did not say a single thing. I looked at matt, we both had tears in our eyes. Joey was shaking like crazy, "I'm very sorry" the midwife said opening the door for us. We stood up and as we exited Matt and I thanked her, Joey couldn't speak.
We walked to the car, Joey and I still hand in hand, we stopped and I gave her a big hug, she wouldn't let go of my hand. "Baby say something, anything. Your shaking like a leaf" I said to her, she still had my hand she wouldn't let it go. "Ok you need to let go I need to drive" I said to her. Matt offered he drove and I sat in the back with Joey, so I did. Half way home Joey let out a sob, it was a very quiet one, I rubbed her thigh with the hand of mine that she wasn't holding. One sob lead to another and she was letting out big loud cries. Matt slowed the car down to pull over. "Matt keep driving we just need to get her home" I said. I took off mine and Joey's seat belts and I pulled her close to me, she climbed on my lap and rested her head on my chest.
