It was me, not you

Chapter 1

"Are you excited for your party tonight?"  I ask Hailey. She nods her head. "I can't believe your getting married to Ty." I say rubbing my stomach.

"And I can't believe your pregnant" she says pointing at my belly. I hated how people said 'your pregnant' like it was actually my child. It wasn't mine. I was a surrogate and carrying my sister baby. Winnie last time she had a kid became really sick during and seeing she wanted more kids I decided to help her out and carry it for her.  

"Yeah. Bad thing I have to pee every five minutes and morning sickness." I explain. She scrunches up her face. 

"There's something I should tell you" she says. I look at her and shrug. I didn't know what she possibly had to say.

"Can some of you girls dance tonight?" she asks. I nod my head but I could tell that wasn't what she wanted to say.

"Yeah sure. Speaking of that I better get set up for the session. I'll see you tonight" I say and hug her. She gives a fake smile and I walk off. 

I change into some dance clothes- my high waisted and a grey crop top. I walk in and the girls are stretching. After finishing school I took a course to become a dance teacher. So now I am a dance teacher, which I love. Today it was a group of girls from age 15-17. I put my bag down and stand there.

"Tonight we have a gig. I have checked with all your parents and they said it was ok if you wanted to do it. We'll need a new routine and what your wearing plus make-up. So lets get started. 5...6...7...8" I say and walk into the middle of the room. The girls stand up and watch my routine as I go through it. I teach them the steps and let them go. 

We practice a few times then stop for a drink but the main factor was that I was feeling sick. The door opens and someone walks in it was James. I run up to him and wrap my legs around him as I hug him. I jump down and he puts his bag down. He looks at me and sees my belly. 

"Your pregnant?" he asks.

"Surrogate for my sister" I say smiling. "We were taking a break but you do want to see our routine for tonight. You are going to the party right?" I ask. he nods his head and grins. I grab his hand and sit down next to him. I hit the music and they dance. I smile at how well they were doing. 

I stand up at the end of the dance "Thanks girls. Now can you guys decide on a outfit and make-up for tonight. I'm leaving it up to you. Make it good" I say and sit back down.

"So they're dancing tonight?" he says. I nod my head.

"I have a question for you. Will you be my date tonight?"

"Sure. Anything for you. So hows the pregnancy going?" he asks. I take a huge breath.

"A big mistake. I feel like I'm about to throw up and I need to pee every 10 minutes. Speaking of that I'll be back" I say and walk of to the toilet. I could see in his face there was something he wasn't telling and I think it was the same thing Hailey was hiding from me.

I look down at my black dress that the long-sleeves were lace. I had already tried on six dresses already and I wan't do be done. I had had enough of it so I grab my clutch and walk out. I see Winnie outside my door. 

"You don't know how happy and thankful I am that you are carrying my baby" she says. I roll my eyes and them laugh. 

"You could have told me earlier the whole... you know vomiting and peeing every 5 minutes thing."
