John

2 weeks later after my birthday.

I was walking down the hallway with Peggy. We were on our way to the cafeteria. I was starving. Like I could eat a whole cow!

"Peggy can we hurry! All the food is gonna be gone!" I whined softly.

"Jackie, lunch just started. We will get there."

We started speed walking to the cafeteria and we were finally there. It was such a long line. I whined softly. I just wanted food. I pulled my skirt down a bit adjusting my crop top. I started getting very irritable.

I felt someone's hands on my hips and it was Alex. He picked me up and hugged me softly.

"Hey babygirl~ I got you some food. I know you didn't want to wait in this line."

My eyes watered and I smiled. Why was I so emotional.

"Baby..Why are you crying. Are you okay?"

"No! I'm really hungry Alexander." I said sobbing. "And then you got me food!" I cried harder.

Alex looked confused. He walked me to the table where the food was at. He got me a burrito and a Coca Cola. He knows me well. I grabbed it and started unwrapping the burrito starting to eat it with tears in my eyes.

"Baby why are you crying now?"

"It's so good. I was so hungry!"

Peggy and Alex stared at me looking very concerned. Peggy texted my phone and I look at her and giggle until...

When was my last period...Shit. Fuck. Shit. I grabbed Alex and went into the empty hallway and I stare at him.

"Alex..."

"What's wrong babe!"

"Um...how can I say this. My period is late."

"You're what is what?!"

"My period! It's late. It's never been late!"

"Babe...are you sure you're not just stressed?" He said softly

"Alexander..." when I said his full name he knew I was serious.

He walked me outside. I tried to keep up but my heels wouldn't let me. I walked behind him kinda hiding in his shadow because I was very shy. Soon we got to his car and he opened the door for me and closed it.

Alexander got in the car and stared at me. He had a look of concern. Confusion and just blank stare.

"John.." he said softly.

"Yes bubba." I said looking scared not used to him saying my government name.

"This is serious. I'm a senior in highschool. I'm graduating this spring. I mean shit you're a junior."

"But we're both 18 years old and decided to make the decision to have sex." I looked away irritated.

"What I'm saying is if you're pregnant. College is out the question for me and I fought hard to get here."

"So you're blaming for possibly being pregnant Alexander. I have no family! No mom nor dad because they hate me. You have Mr Washington and his Wife!" I yelled starting to cry

I started tugging at my hair. Something I used to do when my father would abuse me and I'd get very anxious at what he would do next. Alex knew I have ptsd and was sensitive when it came to yelling. I pulled harder.

Alex recognized and grabbed my hands.

"Jackie." His eyes softened. "No pulling. I thought you were working on your anxiety."

"Not when you're yelling at me! I'm sorry I just came into your life and ruined it." I sobbed heavily.

We sat in silence.

2 hours later

I walked out the bathroom after showering. I took a pregnancy test about 10 mins ago and I was nervous. I slipped on some pajama pants and a tank top that cupped my chest perfectly. Alex was sitting on the bed and he looked at me.

I looked at him and I teared up looking away.

"John we can't avoid each other. Now let's read the test." He said softly

We both flip the test of and I was indeed pregnant. My heart stopped. It felt like it dropped in my stomach. I started feeling very lightheaded and fainted.

Timeskip

I jumped awake in a panic

"Where am I!" I yelled looking around and Alex stood up fast.

"Baby you fainted." He cupped my face softly

"I-I fainted?" I asked softly

"Yes baby...Dr.Reynolds here says you're very dehydrated. And stressed." He said softly.

"O-Oh."

"They are giving you fluids and hopefully you'll be okay. We also need to schedule you for your first OBGYN appointment." Alex said softly

"Y-You want to keep it?" I said softly

"Yes...this is my child. I want to spread my legacy."

He held my hand softly. I felt like every thing went right.

3 months later. After the first trimester.

I walked around school in baggy clothing still hiding the fact that I was pregnant from everyone. Even Peggy. I walked to my locker and Alex appeared behind me.

"Did you take your meds this morning Jackie?" He said softly

"U-Uh not yet. Usually I can't take them unless I eat food." I bit my lip softly looking flush.

"My poor baby..." he grabbed my face softly kissing my lips.

I melted into his touch and blushed softly. I'm so In love with him. Or maybe it's the hormones. He's made these 3 months so stress free. I'm passing all my classes. Alex graduates next week. Everything is going good. We plan to tell people after we find out the gender of our little bean.

"Okay baby well I have to head to graduation practice but be careful. No PE I'm serious Jackie." He kissed my cheek and ran off.

This is gonna be a hard 6 months.
