It's Not That Easy.

Chapter 23

Melanie's POV

"Are you almost done?" Chaz whined from behind the closed door.

"Give me a minute." I said.

"You said that 10 minutes ago Mel. Hurry the fuck up." He cried.

"Patience!" I yelled and laughed.

"Goddamnit. I take shorter shits than you." I heard him mumble.

I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me. "I'm not taking a shit Chaz." In fact, I've been in the bathroom for quite a while now, just staring at myself in the mirror. Well, my stomach, in this case.

We were currently at mine and Justin's beach house to go swimming and all of the other bathrooms were unavailable due to plumbing and other issues, therefore, Chaz has been standing out there with a full bladder for a pretty long time. I just couldn't seem to stop myself from looking at my "visible" bump. We still haven't told anyone other than Chaz and Ryan since they were the ones that bought us the pregnancy tests and we just had to tell them the truth.

It's been a couple weeks since Justin told me about his new song with Selena. I haven't seen her yet but today's the day. I'm seeing my "ex" best friend today as Chaz kept telling me. It's not that I'm nervous, it's just I'm not into this whole setup. If you haven't realized, this was all Justin's idea. The whole crew was coming after Justin and Selena's session at the studio and I have to admit, I don't want my stomach to be showing just yet for them to know.

I looked at stomach one last time and put down my top with a deep sigh. I opened the door and Chaz immediately stood up from the ground. "Finally." He sighed in relief loudly and slammed the door shut quickly after stepping in.

"Sorry!" I called out before walking down to where Ryan and Alfredo were with Alana.

"Damn Mel. That must have been the longest shit you've ever taken." Alfredo chuckled along with Ryan.

I gave them a look. "I wasn't taking a shit!" I let out in exasperation.

"Well what were you doing?" Ryan asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Oh shut up." I mouthed and walked over to Alana when they continued to laugh.

"Mommy, let's go swimming now." She said as her legs swung back and forth as she sat on a really high chair.

"Did you put your sunscreen on?"

"Ryan did."

I nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

"Yes!" She smiled and hopped off. She pulled up the sliding door and stepped out to where the pool was.

"You guys swimming?" I asked as I grabbed my sunglasses.

"Yeah, I'll be out there in a sec. I'm going to grab the beers for when everyone comes." Alfredo told me.

I nodded and looked at Ryan. "Ry?"

He quickly opened a beer and started walking towards me. "Yeah." We both walked out into the burning sun and Alana was already in the water. "So, what were you really doing in the bathroom?" Ryan quickly asked.

I smiled and looked at him. "Nothing." I barely let out a whisper.

"Come on. You can tell me." He nudged me softly.

I pursed my lips. "I was just checking my stomach." I told him and sat down in the shade as he sprayed on some suncreen.

"Mel." He let out.

"I know I know." I softly sang. "I just wanted to make sure I wasn't showing anything yet. I don't want everyone knowing right now."

"Well you can't really wait that long. You do have two mini Biebers in there you know."
