Cali, here I come!

Chapter 29: Real.

It's been 2 months since Wes and I found out that I'm pregnant. He has been completely supportive, as has the rest on his family.

Emblem3 released their debut album, and the guys bought a condo type apartment. I, of course, moved with them. I haven't told my mom or dad about the baby yet, and I don't know if I'm going to. We did, however, decide to tell Cameron.

Wes and I walked into his house, an he lead us into the living room. I paced back and forth on the hard wood floors of Cam's apartment.

"Charlie! Will you relax and just say what you have to tell me?!" Cameron snapped. Wes was sitting in the chair by the couch on which my brother was sitting. Wesley breathed in a deep breath, and let it go slowly, wringing his fingers nervously. Cam had always been protective over me, ever since my dad did what he did to us and left.

"Cam, I'm pregnant." I blurted after a while of enjoying my last breaths. Cameron was going to kill Wesley and I. He just looked at me, rage growing visible on his face. He stood up, walking towards Wes, who's eyes were the size of saucers.

"I am going to kill you!" Cameron yelled, punching Wes straight in the nose, instantly causing it to bleed.

"Cameron! Stop!" I yelled. He stopped and looked at me, disappointed.

"Why?" He asked, simply.

"Cameron, I love your sister more than anything. I'm not going to leave her." Wes spoke up, wiping the dripping blood from his nose. Cameron collapsed back onto his couch.

"I swear Wesley, if you hurt her, or leave her and your baby, I promise, I will kill you." Cam said.

"Deal." Wes smiled awkwardly, nervous. Cam half smiled back.

"Does mom or dad know?" He asked.

"No. I haven't talked to them in like 2 and a half months." I replied, sitting down on Wes's lap. He wrapped his arms around me to set his hands on my growing stomach.

"Are you going to tell them?" He asked.

"I don't know..." I trailed off. Cameron kept glancing at my baby bump.

"How far along are you?" He asked.

"2 months. We have a doctors appointment tomorrow for an ultrasound." I smiled.

"I expect a copy." He smiled back at me.

"Of course Cam." I said.

After a while of talking and catching up with my brother, Wes and I left to look at some baby stuff.

"I like this one Wes." I smiled, looking at a dark wood crib, changing table set.

"Me too." He said. We ended up buying the set, along with a minty green paint for the walls of the nursery.

Once we got home, we ate dinner and went to bed. I've been so tired lately, but I guess it's all a part of being pregnant.

I woke up to an empty bed the next morning, and heard the shower running. I grabbed some clothes and entered the bathroom. Once stripped from my pajamas, I got into the shower with Wesley.

"Morning babe." I said, wrapping my arms around his torso, and kissing his bare shoulders.

"Morning Charlie." He smiled , turning around to face me. He got down on his knees, and grabbed my hips gently, pulling them towards him.

"And good morning baby." He said. Kissing all over my belly. I giggled and he stood back up and kissed my lips.

After we had showered, we got dressed and drove to the doctors office. Sitting in the waiting room was terrible. The glares, the cold stares, the whispering that they thought I couldn't hear. Whispers like: "What a shame." And "Her mother must be so proud." Or "Society these days needs a wake up call." I even heard one lady say to her daughter, who had to be about 12, maybe 13, "Don't end up liked her." I just looked up at Wes, and he looked down at me reassuringly, telling me that he heard them too.

"Ms. Rose?" The smiling nurse called. Wes and I both stood up, and walked toward her.

"Hello." She smiled.

"Hey." I said. Wes nodded. He was so nervous, but he wouldn't admit it. He was anxious to see our baby, as was I.

"Okay, the doctor should be in shortly Charlotte." The nurse said, and left the room. I hopped up into the table, and Wes pulled the chair from the corner of the room over by my side. He grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles lightly. I smiled at him, and the door was opened as the doctor walked through it.

"Hello Charlotte. Wesley." She said, shaking each of our hands.

"Hello." I said.

"Hey." Wes replied.

"So, are you guys ready to see your baby?" She smiled.

"Absolutely." Wes replied, excitedly. She chuckled a bit.

"Okay, this is going to be cold." She warned me. I nodded.

"Do you guys want to know the sex of the baby?" She asked.

"No, we want it to be a surprise." I said. She smiled once again. A she squeezed the cold gel on to my stomach, I shivered, and Wes chuckled lightly. I rolled my eyes playfully at him, and giggled a bit.

"Okay. Here we go." She said. As the picture of our baby popped up on the screen, my eyes began to fill with tears of joy. I looked at Wesley, who was staring at the screen like a little kid watching Sponge-Bob. His eyes, too, began to fill with tears. He looked over at me and smiled as he kissed my cheek. Seeing this, made this whole thing becomes I much more... Real. I'm going to be a mother.

Wesley's POV:

Telling Cameron that I got his little sister pregnant went exactly as I thought it would. After punching me though, we're okay.

At the doctor's with Charlie, I noticed a lot of people staring at her and whispering. When she looked up at me, I knew she had noticed too. I smiled at her reassuringly, and soon her name was called. After all the formalities, the doctor finally pulled up the picture of my baby. It was perfect. From its little head, to its little toes, it was perfect. Seeing it made this whole thing real for me. I was going to be a dad.
