THIRD PERSON

"do you think i look fat ?" Athena asked jack, holding her stomach. "No" Jack said in disbelief, she was perfect in his eyes. "idk i've just felt so bloated recently" jack hugged her from the back while she looked in the mirror, her eyes glued to her stomach. "i think you look perfect" athena huffed and continued getting ready for their day.

both walked into the studio as everyone else was already there. "hi guysss" she greeted everyone as she sat down in the chair. urban offered her takis. she looked at them before grossing out. "ehh im okay thanks"

jack immediately went into the booth before walking back out. "athena get in here" Jack had been pressuring her to complete her album but she has just been pushing it off for some reason.

groaning athena got up and followed jack into the booth. 2fo signaled that he was ready and jack nodded at the athena to start.

after the studio athena complained of how hungry she was.  jack gave her many options but only one thing was on her mind . Chickfila .

she insisted on having it. jack said okay and began mobile ordering their food. "spicy deluxe ?" "yes please" "extra pickles right ?" as soon as he said that she immediately got grossed out. "ew no, no pickles"

jack looked at her "wdym ? i thought you loved pickles" "idk im just not feeling them today" jack obliged and ordered the food.

after returning to the car he realized athena had connected to aux, blasting old miley cyrus. "ITS THE CLIMB YEAAAEEAAAEAAAAAA" she yelled her heart out as jack embarrassingly got back into the car.

he turned down the music and looked at athena with a goofy smile. "i was gone for 2 seconds" "it popped up on tik tok" she smiled and reached for the food. she gave jack a kiss before digging in.

as soon as she put the first fry in her mouth her brother was facetiming her. confused, since they dont really call as much, she quickly answered the phone. "WERE HAVING A BABY" cameron yelled on from the other side of the phone.

it took a minute to realize what he had said but as soon as athena processed it her whole face lit up "WHAT ?" she looked at jack to see a smile on his face while cameron was showing them the positive pregnancy test.

"omgg congratulations!" cameron handed the phone to violet. "thank you girly, i was having such weird cravings and i was pretty bloated for a minute so i just decided to take one" jack laughed as he put a fry in his mouth.

athena smiled before it clicked. bloated, none of her favorite chips that urban was eating, no pickles ? what ? she loves pickles. she wasnt late, at least she didnt think so.

jack had her phone now, congratulating the two. athena tried to calm herself. maybe she was overthinking. it couldve just been violets symptoms not hers. jack had said bye and athena waved as she reached for her phone.

she was quiet the rest of the ride home. she didnt know what to do. on the way home she had opened her period tracker to find out she was in fact late. a week and a half to be exact. she couldnt exactly go out to get a test. and she didnt wanna tell jack fearing it would scare him.

once they were home jack hopped in the shower, tired. she called urban from the farest place in the house away from jack, the pantry.

"urb" "whats up ?" "what are you doing rn ?" "ummm im just chillin with the boys why whats up" she lowered her voice "i need a favor" "are you okay what happened ?" "dont tell anyone please" "thena whats wrong ?" "how fast can you get a pregnancy test and drop it off?"

she slipped out of jacks grasp and she got the text that urban was outside. the creek in the floor made jack stir but not wake up. she quickly went to the front door to see urban staning there with a bag. "i got you three just to make sure"

athena thanked him and took the bag "pregnant athena ? are you sure ?" "we're about to find out" "what if you are ?" athena didnt really think about that. she didnt mind having a kid. she was old enough. she just always thought it would come later in life.

she shrugged "do you think jack will freak out ?" urban gave her a look "anything you do he will. he'll love you either way" athena smiled and gave urban a hug. "ill let you know okay ? thank you for this"

"anytime" urban said as he pulled away and began walking away "oh and one more thing" athena paused as urban turned back around "dont tell jack"

"athena lets go !" jack yelled from downstairs, keys already in his hand. athena was dressed, ready to step out of that door. only one thing was holding her back. well three things actually. the three positive pregnancy tests lying on the bathroom counter.

although she told herself to wait to take them because she knew they were busy today, she couldnt take not knowing. she didn't know how to react. she didnt know how jack would react. instead, she grabbed all three and shoved them in her makeup bag, quickly leaving the bathroom. 

" what took so long ?" "sorry i was peeing" jack made sure to lock the door behind them. "are we late ?" jack looked at his phone "only ten minutes" they were headed to one of jacks interviews.

athenas phone lit up to urban calling her. she quickly answered "hey whats up ?" "did you take them ?" athena glanced at jack driving, making sure he wasnt tuning in "yes i have" "is jack with you ?" "yes we're on our way" she noticed jack shifted, probably trying to listen "urb we're not gonna be late. ill see you in a few"

"everything good ?" "yea he was just asking when we were gonna be there" jack nodded. "i cant believe violets having another kid" jack chuckled at athenas disbelief.

"would you want to have kids ?" " would i?" he glanced at athena, fiddling with the toothpick in his mouth "absolutely but only if its with you?" athena smiled at his corny jokes "how many ?" she leaned over the console and gave him a kiss on the cheek .

"nmmm 2 or 3" he paused "or 4 or 5" she laughed "thats a lot" "i love you a lot" he pulled into the parking lot of the news company. athena quickly unbuckled herself and gave him passionate kiss "i love you more"
