How I got Pregnant.... And REJECTED!! #Wattys2014

Chapter 10: The Bond Made Me Do It!!

"Okay so you kissed Eric?" Cassidy asked confused as we sat around her room. Me on her bed Indian style right next to her as we flipped through a magazine.

"No, he kissed me!" I scoffed falling onto my back just for her to prop up on one arm and look down at me.

"Did you push him away from you?" She asked with a sneaky grin you would only find on her.

"No, not... Not exactly." I sighed looking away at the ceiling.

"Well then you kissed him stupid, you shouldn't be ashamed or guilty. You guys have a bond even Ryan can't break. A good boyfriend would try and understand that." She sighed with a shrug.

"So he should understand no matter what he does I'm always gonna want Eric? Because I don't know if I would accept that if the tables were turned." I huffed.

"It's different, you and Eric are mates and have a baby on the way! There's gonna be chemistry when you two are around each other, there's no changing or denying that." She sighed getting to her feet and grabbing her cellphone and then coming over to pull my shirt up and snap a belly picture.

"Well maybe me and him shouldn't be around each other. I don't want to be the type who runs off but I don't like the idea of being a cheater either." I groaned as she continued to take pics of my small baby bump.

"Its not cheating, it doesn't classify!" She yelled.

"Either way I don't want to hurt Ryan, I know how that feels and it doesn't feel nice." I pouted.

"Well what are you gonna do, but honestly there's not much you can." She frowned at me raising her eyebrows.

Before I could answer my phone rang and it was Ryan asking if i'd come to the forest behind my house. I smiled at the text and decided to go hugging Cassidy goodbye as I did. When I got there I followed his scent all the way to my favorite tree, a old white oak. He leaned in to kiss me but backed up giving me a weird look.

"What?" I asked giggling.
"You smell like... Did you see Eric today cause he scent is all over you." He asked with a joking grin as he kissed my cheek and pulled me onto his lap.

"Yeah, sorry. He sent me a weird text asking to see me." I tried laughing it off.

"That must've been interesting." He chuckled locking his eyes with mine as I tried to keep my breathing steady.

"Oh it was very interesting." I heard a voice say from above us and looked up to see Eric looking down as us nonchalantly.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" I asked pulling myself off of Ryan.

"Just climbing around." He smiled jumping down and giving Ryan a glare, but Ryan just shook his head and grabbed my hand. I pulled away and looked at Eric in disbelief.

"Get the hell out of here!" I yelled infuriated.

"Tell him." He said blankly. "Go ahead tell your little second chance what just happened with your first."

"What's he talking about?" Ryan asked and I turned around to face him.

"Nothing." I said and when I looked again Eric was gone.

"You're lying, I can tell." He said crossing his arms and looking down at me.

"It was the bond..." I whispered.

"What was the bond." He demanded.

"We kissed but it was just the bond I swear, I wouldn't have done it otherwise and you know that." I frowned as Ryan's head dropped in thought.

"You kissed him..." He stated softly.
"He kissed me!" I corrected.

"But did you kiss him back?" He asked as if he already knew the answer and my response didn't mean anything.

"I... It-It was the... The bond." I stammered moving closer trying to grab Ryan's hand but he back away from me.

"Did you like it...?" He asked looking down, hurt lancing his voice.

"It was the bond." I whimpered.

"I DIDN'T ASK THAT I ASKED IF YOU LIKED IT!" He frowned all the hurt being replaced with anger.

"Yes okay, yes. But Ryan I couldn't help it. The bond was too strong I couldn't help it." I cried not letting the tears fall.

"Yeah, and that's what hurts the most. I can never be him, you and I will never have that bond." He frowned.

"You're better than him, you're all that I want!" I whimpered.

"No, I'm what you think you want." He sighed before turning wolf and running off and no matter how much I wanted to to after him I knew I couldn't shift. I watched as the sun began to go down over the hills and I walked into the house. The next week went by and I heard nothing from Ryan or Eric. I tried not to think about it too hard because I knew the stress wasn't worth it but at the same time I kept wondering what had possessed Eric to be such a jerk to me. My mom had said he was young and the stress of being a Alpha and the confusion of finding his mate was just more than he expected. She said Ryan would get over it and eventually understand, he just needed a bit of time. Maybe she was right.

But then again... How should I know?

I crawled from the bed groaning at my stomach. I don't care how much people said my bump wasn't that obvious, from my view it was and that was enough to upset me and make me feel fat. I huffed and went to the bathroom turning the shower on hot and brushing my teeth as it warmed. I climbed in and let the warmth of the water calm me loosening my stiffness and opening my closed pores, the only benefit of this pregnancy way the glow it left me with. My skin was flawless!!

I soaped my body with body wash and rinsed before repeating the process and moving over to wash my hair.

"Addy? You in here?" My dad's voice crept through the room causing me to feel shocked and worried. My dad hadn't called me Addy since he found out about the pregnancy. Matter of fact, he didn't even talk to me unless it was up-most necessary and even then it was as if I was a stranger to him. I turned off the water and pulled on my underclothes a pair of gym short and a tank before walking out to greet him suspiciously.

"Yeah?" I shrugged as he sat on my bed holding a photo album.

"Come sit." He smiles and I flopped next to him on my bed with one leg tucked under me. "When your mom told me she was pregnant with you.. I was so nervous I wouldn't be a good dad I avoided her for a month. She was patient with me and after the first ultrasound, oh you had me wrapped around your little paws just like that. The only time your mom ever saw me cry."

He smiled at himself as he scooted closer to me and opened the photo album to a page containing multiple shots of my mom pregnant with my ultrasound on her belly.

"We got so excited we brought cribs and seats and pacifiers. It was weird having all those baby things around, especially when we knew you were a girl. Pink this purple that, greens to boyish yellows too peppy." He shook his head laughing at me. "I held your hand through everything. Right behind you your whole life with a camera so I wouldn't miss anything. You skinned a knee and I'd take you to the hospital to be assured you wouldn't get a infection. I tried to hold your hand through everything, and I'm just realizing that."

He turned the pages skimming through my baby years to my toddlers/child/preteen/teens and now. He looked smug and yet hurt at the same time but every now and then he give me a look that reminded me of before all this stupid stuff happened.

"I can't control your life, your gonna make your own decisions and mistakes are gonna need to happen in order for you to grow... Mature as the woman your becoming." He huffed. "And the only thing I can do is support you and accept that your not a baby anymore. And so I wanted to tell you I'm not angry, never really was. I was just afraid of my little girl growing up but now that Ive seen how afraid you are... Realized how much you still need me."

"Thank you daddy, I really needed that." I sighed hugging him. This wasn't gonna be easy, but with my dad's actual support I knew it wouldn't be as hard.
