Fantasy Becomes Reality

Chapter 20

We both walked downstairs and Andrew sat at the kitchen counter with me. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

"Can we talk to you?" I asked almost immediately choking up. My parents both looked at us and Andrew started squeezing my hand as hard as he could and I knew he was trying not to show any emotion either.

"What?" My dad asked first, sitting across the counter from us. My mom sat down next to him and I looked over at Andrew and his jaw tightened. He wasn't letting go of my hand.

"What Jasmine?" My mom said rasing an eyebrow.

"I can't Andrew." I whispered and my voice cracked and I started crying and Andrew rubbed my thigh. I don't even think he knew what to do.

"God dammit Jasmine." My mom said.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you fucking pregnant?" She asked. My dad glared at Andrew as I knodded my head. My mom took a deep breathe trying not to get too angry. She had me at my age and my dad didn't even know how to react. He threw his hands up and pinched the bridge of his nose. I could tell he was pissed and so was my mom but she understood more.

"Jesus Christ." She mumbled.

"Mom please." I said. Andrew looked over at me and his eyes were watery, this time I squeezed his hand.

"No, I'm glad you came to me. I understand more than anyone else wouldJasmine. Shit happens okay? Im just disapointed, you're so young, you have college. Andrew you're older and I know Jasmine is legal now but how are you going to explain this. You two cannot hide this anymore." She said.

"I know." Andrew said. My parents were best at understanding, this is why I wanted to tell them because I knew they would give me advice and understand and just help me through it but this was so much different than anything else yet they still understood.

"You wouldn't get in trouble." My dad said to Andrew. He looked up at my dad considering he was expecting my dad to hate him.

"Yes it was illegal to date her if she was in highschool, but she graduated and was eighteen when she graduated. You two had nothing to do with eachother when she went there until after she left and we as her guardians approved of you dating her. You won't get in trouble." He said. Andrew looked relieved.

"I just want to let you know I'm not just going to leave because of this. I would never do that to her. I love her so much and she means the world to me. Yes I want to have a future with her. I want children, I want to be married, I want her. I know this happened too fast for you, it happened too fast for the both of us but I promise you one thing I will take care of her until the day I die." Andrew said. My mom smiled and my dad just knodded his head. It's exactly what happened with my parents. My dad got my mom pregnant at eighteen and my dad was around the same age as her but he understood where Andrew was coming from since he felt the same way about my mom and they were still together. I think me and Andrew were both at a lost for words. I was one hundred percent sure that I was going to be thrown out the house tonight and they didn't seem angry at all.

"You two go upstairs, you both look like you need the rest." My mom said and Andrew took my hand and we went upstairs. I closed the door behind us and Andrew sat on the bed.

"How does your dad know that I won't get fired?" He asked.

"He used to be a cop." I said. He looked up at me.

"When did he stop?" He asked.

"This year, he retired." I said.

"Thank god, I was so worried about that it's not even funny." He said.

"So was I." I said. He patted his lap for me to go sit on it and I did as he held me and kissed me cheek.

"Everything's going to be alright love." He said.

"Thank you." I said.

"For what?" He asked.

"Always making sure I'm okay." I said.

"I'm never gonna stop." He said. I kissed him and he hugged me so tight to the point he was squeezing me.

"Andrew calm down." I said laughing as I pulled away from the kiss.

"I love you." He laughed pulling me down lightly with him so I was laying ontop of him.

"What do you want? A girl or a boy?" He asked.

"A boy." I said.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah, what about you?" I asked.

"A boy, I was just suprised because I though you would have wanted a girl." He said.

"No, a boy because if we have another kid later on and it's a girl he'd be an older brother and protect her." I said.

"If it was a girl I would be so protective over her it's not even funny." He said.

"You wouldn't let any boy break her heart?" I asked.

"Nope." He said popping the p.

"Boys are made for breaking hearts." I said.

"I haven't broken your heart have I?" He smirked.

"Last time I checked you were a man." I laughed and he smiled.

"I love you dork." He said.

"I love you too." I said.

"What would we name it if it was a girl?" He asked.

"I've always loved the name Skylar so no matter if you like that name or not you have no choice." I laughed and he laughed too.

"Well, if we have a boy then I get to pick the name." He said.

"What would the name be?" I asked.

"Jake, daniel, or Brett." He said.

"I like daniel or Jake." I said.

"You don't have to go to college." He said randomly.

"What?" I asked.

"Jasmine, i make almost two hundred thousand a year. That could support the both of us and a baby." He said.

"Andrew I wanted to go to school." I said.

"I know, and you can. But I'm just saying if you need to hold off after having the baby and everything we can afford that." He said. I knodded my head and he kissed me.

"Trust me on this okay?" He said and put his pinky finger up in to pinky promise. I wrapped my pinky around his and laughed.

"You're so cute baby." I said.

"You're cuter." He said.

"Rub my belly." I said. I laid on my back and Andrew lifted up my shirt and rubbed his hand on my belly in circles.

"You're spoiled." He said kissing my cheek.

"I know." I laughed and brought his hand up to my cheek and cupped it for a deeper and longer kiss.

"You're the cutest fucking thing." He said pulling away from the kiss. I could have moaned with how deep the kiss was but I stopped myself. He continued to rub my belly and I fell asleep as he did.
