Then high school happens

What we thought life meant

Marci's POV

     The sunrise woke me up too early. Z was fast asleep, facing me. I grabbed my phone and it said I had a text from Stella.

     Mornin. How're things goin with little one? I don't even know when it's due.

      I reply morning, just woke up. Yeah, it's cool, it's due in like a month.

     Wow really?!

     Yeah... I'm really nervous...

     I put down my phone and sat up. My belly was huge now. It was due St. Patrick's day. I feel my hands trembling as I remembered. Who was the dad? I hated growing up thinking that my dad hated me. What would it be like not knowing who he is at all?

     I'm stressing myself out, I gotta stop. Just think happy thoughts...

     Ymir and Christa, that time Z and I snuggled all night, Jean and Marco, princess Armin, that time I got a 4 in English, watching YouTube.

     I climb back into bed, it was February so a winter chill clung to the air. I resumed the position that I woke up in, and closed my eyes.

     A familiar blackness greeted me, the same blackness I see almost every night. But there was a light... That only meant one thing...

     "Hi my sweet bumblebee"

     "Mom! I've missed you so much! I thought you left forever."

     "I can only visit you when necessary."

     "And being pregnant for 8 months isn't necessary?"

     "Honey I'm sorry... I love you so much. I wish I could be with you right now. I've been watching you, you are doing really well. When I was pregnant with you, I was so happy, but wasn't sure what's would happen in the future. And one thing I dreaded was what has happened to me and your father. He sends love and wishes he could be here now."

     "Why can't he?"

     "It's complicated, things are different here."

     "So you know about Z?"

     "Of course my love. I think she'll bring you great happiness for a long long time."

     "Like forever..?"

     "I can't say, the future is blurred even for me to tell. I just know that something won't be right... But don't worry about it. If it were something huge, I would know... I have to leave bumblebee, a surprise will awake you. I love you so much... Until we meet again... Which will be soon. Goodbye."

     "I love you too momma..." Tears streamed down my face as I watched her fade away.

     "...Marci..? Marci?"

     Z's sweet voice brought me from the darkness. She kissed me on the cheek.

     I pretended to stay asleep, playing with her. She went to lay back down and I grabbed her shoulders and kissed her all in a fast motion, making her jump in surprise.

      I pulled away. "Haha I got you!"

     "Damn you" she smiled and kissed me again. "What are we gonna do today? Wanna have a YouTube day?"

     "Sounds good, which channel should we stalk first?"

     "How about Pewds?"

     "YASS QUEEN!!" I love Pewdiepie!

     We raced each other downstairs to the couch. I slipped and fell on the floor.

     "Are you ok!" Z frantically asked.

     "Yeah, I'm ok... I hope I didn't hurt little one... I can feel it kicking me... Ugh that feels so weird!"

     "Oh it's kicking!? Let me feel!! Wow that doesn't sound weird at all..." Z said with an awkward laugh.

     "Yeah, go ahead... It just feels really really weird having something move inside me..."

     Z put her hand in my huge belly and pulled away I'm surprise.

     "Oh weird!" She said.

     "Alright, let's get to watching PEWDIEPIEEE!" I said like how he starts his videos.

     "Yeah, let's do it bros."

Time skip

     Three hours later I started nodding off. Z had her head on my chest, and I stroked her purple hair. I don't know what my mom was talking about that's bad in the future, nor did I care.

     "Hey Marci?"

     "Yes kitten?"

     "What are you gonna name little one?"

     "I don't know, I've always had a knack for names, I'll think of something."

     Z yawned, making me realize how tired we both were.

     A video of Dan and Phil came on where they were against tumblr.

     I looked at my phone to check my notifications.

     Stella: don't be nervous! It's all gonna fine!

     Stella: hey how ya feeling?

     Im feeling better I reply.

     Z fell asleep.

     Then something happened.

     "What the HELL?!" I screamed.

     Z woke up with a start. "Wha- OMG!!! Your water broke!!"
