Patience

Chapter Twenty Eight - Deep

Taylor

It's been a few weeks since I told Duff about my pregnancy. I haven't told anyone else though, how am I supposed to? What if the guys kick Duff and I out because they don't want a baby around? All of this worrying is making me sick. In fact, just about anything makes me want to vomit. 

I sat downstairs at the kitchen table watching Axl crack eggs into a hot pan. The smell of the cooking eggs wafted through the air, my stomach churned and my nose burned. 

"You all right Tay? You look a little, pale." Slash asked

"Yeah, yeah, great." I lied

Axl turned around and stared at me. 

"Are you sure?" He asked in his soft deep voice

"Mhm." I hummed, forcing a smile

"If you say so." He turned back around

I coughed and held onto my stomach. I wonder what the gender of our baby will be. A boy or a little girl? Either way, I'm just excited to have a baby, with someone who I really admire. 

"Morning." A voice from behind said, startling me.

I glance over my shoulder and see Izzy, figures. He always is stealthy moving around, almost in a mysterious way. 

I clear my throat and Slash glances up at me, I give him a nervous smile. 

"I need to tell you guys something." My voice sounded small, smaller than what it normally sounds like.

"Go for it." Axl said, leaning against the counter

"Well" I stammered

I almost wish Duff was here. 

Where is he anyway? 

My stomach twirled and my hands sweat.

"Hey guys!" I heard Duff's voice call and a sigh of relief escapes my lips

"Morning doll." Duff grins as he walks into the kitchen

"M-morning.' I stutter

Duff takes a seat next to me, I move my chair closer to him. I lean over, close enough to his ear and whisper, 

"We need to tell them." 

Duff turns to me with a questionable look.

"Now?" He whispers

I nod my head and glance over at the guys. Slash was trying to suck orange juice up with his nose and I roll my eyes.

"Please." I look back up at Duff and meet his eyes.

"All right." He sets the mug he had in his hands down.

"Hey guys, Taylor and I have something to tell you all." Duff says and runs his hands through his golden locks.

"What is it?" Izzy asks quietly and grabs a piece of toast.

"Well it appears that I'm going to have a baby McKagan around here soon." Duff says and avoids everyones gaze. 

I look up from the spot I was staring at on the table. Everyone's eyes were set on Duff and I. It was beginning to make me feel uncomfortable. I shifted in my seat awkwardly.

"What?" Izzy asks, holding the piece of toast he had bitten into limply in his hand.

"I'm pregnant." I say softly, smiling.

"Are you serious?" Axl asks, the tone of his voice suggests that he is quite excited

"Mhm." Duff nods
