Chapter Twenty-Three| I Can't Believe This

Justin's POV

As Audri and I were waiting in the room for Dr. Li to come back, I couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. I know Audri said that she wasn't pregnant because she took a pregnancy test and it came out negative, but what if it was wrong? What if there was a mistake with the reading? What if-

"Justin," Audri snapped me out of my thoughts as she grabbed my hand and rubbed her thumb over mine. "You're making me nervous."

"I'm sorry. I just have a lot going on in my head right now. What if the results come back po-"

A knock on the door made me discontinue my voiced thought and in came the doctor with her clipboard, which held a few papers that she was glancing down at. "So I have your results and..." she looked up at us.

I reverted my eyes at Audri and she had an anxious expression plastered on her face. My fingers tightened around hers as I brought my attention back to the doctor.

"Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"

"B-Bad news?" Audri sounded scared.

Shit, I was scared too. What kind of bad news could there be? It's not like she had a miscarriage or something like that...

"Alright, it's not that bad," Dr. Li chuckled, which calmed me down just a bit. "You'll be eating a lot more than usual, seeing that you are in fact pregnant," she grinned. "Congratulations!"

Pregnant. Congratulations. Pregnant. Congratulations. 

"You are just at five weeks and everything seems to be going fine!" she grinned at Audri.

"I-I'm pregnant," Audri looked down at her stomach and then slowly back up at me. "Oh my God," she covered her mouth with her hand and I could see tears forming in her eyes as mine were already a little watery.

"Um, I will leave you two to talk while I go fill out a few more papers and then I'll be back to set up an appointment for a check-up," the doctor excused herself, leaving Audri and I alone.

"We-we're going to be parents," I said just above a whisper as I ran a hand through my hair.

"Justin, I'm so sorry," Audri choked out as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Baby," I frowned, bringing my arms around her in a warm embrace. "You do not need to be sorry."

"B-but I fucked everything up," she sobbed into my neck as her fingers clutched onto my shirt.

"Shhh," I pressed my lips against her hair and rubbed her back. "Please, don't cry."

"I can't help it," she said, sucking in a breath between each word.

I felt really bad that she thought it was her fault that we were in this situation. We both made it happen so if this were to badly affect my career and how people saw me then that's on my part. I didn't need her blaming herself for what I was a part of too. I understand that we were young, but everything happens for a reason.

After a few minutes Audri finally calmed down. "I'm not ready to be a mom," she sighed. "We're still working on our relationship, how are we going to parent a child?"

"We can work through it. I won't let you raise our baby alone, if that's what you're thinking," I eyed her.

"No, Justin. You don't get it. I am not fit to be a mom. I'm not good enough," she put herself down and it made me slightly angry.

"Stop. You are going to be great. I hate when you talk about yourself like that," I said in a serious tone. "I will be here for you every step of the way, I promise you."
