The Pain We Face

Naming Names

I wake up and look around. It looks like it's about 2 in the afternoon. Carl has his arm loosely around me. I smile and play with his long brown hair. It's really soft and shiny. He starts to open his eyes. He smiles and moves closer to me.

"Come on let's go outside or something." I say still playing with his hair.

"How about no." He says rolling on top of me, and pinning my wrists on either side of my head. I giggle, and he smiles and kisses me.

"You're so perfect." He says in between kisses.

"So are you." I answer.

"I wish" he laughs.

"But you are." I say. He pulls away and looks into my eyes.

"What cha lookin at?" I ask giggling.

"I'm starring in to your SOUL!" He practically yells. I try not to laugh.

"Actually I'm looking in to the beautiful eyes of my future wife" he says blushing. I smile.

"And who's that?" I ask twirling a piece of hair around my finger. He looks at my and kisses me.

"This beautiful girl named Nikki Garnino." He says.

I grin and say "I love you." He touches our noses.

"I love you too" he says. He's about to kiss me but then Jett walks in, I glare at him past Carl's shoulder. Carl rolls off me but still keeps his arms around me.

"Jeeeeett you just totally ruined the moment!" I whined.

"GET A ROOM GUYS!!!" Jett yells.

"This is a room!!" I yell back.

"Yeah it's my room!!" He says, then my mom walks to the door.

"Jett what did you see, how much of it do I have to explain." She says winking at me. I cover my face with my hands.

"He's fourteen he already knows all of it!" I say totally embarrassed.

"EWWWW" Jett yells, and my mom drags him away closing the door. I turn to Carl who is trying not to laugh.

"Shut uppp" I whine and lightly punch his chest.

"I didn't say anything!" he laughs.

"Yeah, but you were going to." I say messing up his hair.

"Hey hey hey, don't mess up the flow." He says fixing his hair.

"Wow boys are the same, even in the apocalypse." I laugh.

"Basically." He says. I roll my eyes and get up.

"Where ya going?" Carl asks sitting up.

"I want to go talk to Julia and CeCe about something." I say opening the door. Tina is outside of the door, it looks like she had her ear to the door, but as soon as she sees me she stands up.

"Can I help you?" I ask crossing my arms.

"No!" She says giving me a look. I roll my eyes and walk away. I go out to the fire but no one is there, I shrug and head to Julia and Daryl's room. Julia and Daryl have been together for a few years now. The door is closed, so I knock on the door.

"Come in." I hear Julia say. I open the door slowly, step in and close the door. Julia is on her bed reading.

"Hey" I say. Julia looks up for her book.

"Hey baby bear" she says. She's like an older sister to me, since she is 31.

"Can I talk to you?" I ask.

"Of course" she says patting a spot on her bed. I walk over and sit down.

"What did you want to talk about?" Julia asks.

"Um.... When do you think I will be due?" I ask stuttering a little. She closes her eyes to think and takes a deep breath.

"Well..." She begins. I just look at her, she opens her eyes and smiles at me.

"It's April now, and your probably about a month pregnant. Sooo..... March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November. November. You should probably be due around November." She says. I smile. I'll have an Autumn baby. Fall is my favorite season, so I'm glad he or she will be born in the fall. "Unless you have him or her early, then it could be October." She says.

"Yay!" I say. She looks confused.

"I just love fall and my baby will be an autumn baby." I say excited.

"Oooo if it's a girl you could name it Autumn." She says smiling.

"Oooo I like that name!" I say.

"What other names were you thinking of?" She asks.

"Well for a boy I like... Zach, Chris, or maybe Joe." I say.

"Hmmm I like Zach" she says laughing.

"That's my favorite too, but Carl has to like it too." I say. She nods.

"I'm sure he'll like any name you like. Ok so what about girl names?" She asks getting excited.

"There's alot." I say laughing.

"Well tell me!!!" She says shaking me.

"Ok well I like Autumn, Addison, Nicole, Mackenzie, ummmmm Kate, Emma, and ummm well that's all I can think of now." I say smiling.

"I like Autumn, Nicole, and Addison." She says.

"Those are my favorites too." I say.

"Well I'm going to read some more.. So scram." She says shooing me away. I laugh and leave. I walk to the kitchen and grab a small bag of chips.

"What do you think your doing?!?" I hear a voice yell from behind me. I spin around and see its Tonya.

"Um getting a snack." I say holding up the bag of chips and making a face. She walks towards me and snatches the bag out of my hand, and puts it back in a box.

"What the hell?!?" I yell.

"We only eat at meals!!" she hisses.

"Julia and CeCe told me I have to start eating a little more." I say confused.

"Yeah well they are wrong, you're not going to waste all of our damn food because you were a slut and got pregnant. You shouldn't even be keeping that baby, your not responsible enough!" She yells getting in my face.

"Who put you in charge?" I hiss, crossing my arms.

"I should be in charge, since I'm the only one with any common sense." She says.

"Not really." I say rolling my eyes.

"Watch your mouth girl." She says pointing a finger at me and walking towards me.

"Or what." I say slapping her hand away.

"You don't want to know!" She yells. She keeps walking towards me until I'm pined against the wall.

"HELP!" I scream.

"Oh wheres your little Carl now?" She says covering my mouth, and putting her am against my throat.

"You're going to take the abortion pills! Got that?" She asks choking me slightly. I start coughing. "OK?!?!" She yells. I bite her hand, and she lets go of my mouth. "AH shit!" She says looking at her hand.

I try to run away but she grabs my waist and pulls me back against the wall. "CARL!!!" I scream.

He comes running around the corner. "WHAT THE HELL?!?!" He yells.
