Raising The Flag. (Guardians Trilogy)

5. Mama Said

Link
      Jax's words shocked me. Pregnant? I mean.. It would link up.. Now I realize I haven't had my period for nearly 3 months."are you sure?" I asked her, nervously."I think so, but.. We better be on the safe side.. I'll get the tests. Stay here" she said grabbing her keys and running out. I went downstairs and Pete came up to me."wheres she going?" He asked curious."oh, she needed some female things" I said covering it up. He nodded signaling he understood as I walked over to Josh on the couch."you okay Linkin log?" He asked scooting over to let me in."oh, yeah, I'm fine.. Jax needed something" I said trying to appear normal. Honestly, I was worried. I was only 25 about to be 26, and Patrick's birthday was tomorrow, and then they'd have a short 2 week tour. It was April 26th and the guys left for the short tour May 1st. If I was pregnant everything would change. I quickly wiped my thoughts away and put my head on Josh's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me and placed his head on mine. He kissed my forehead and placed his head back on mine as we watched breaking bad on the tv. 30 minutes later, Jax came back with 3 bags."hey guys, link come here, i need to show you this gadget" she said running up the stairs into my room. I nodded and followed. I shut and locked my bedroom door and she sat the bags on my bed. She handed me one that had 5 pregnancy tests in it."geez Jax" I said looking into the bag."well.. We've gotta be sure" she said. I took a box and went into my little bathroom. I opened the box and followed the instructions. I waited for about 10 minutes and came back. I picked up the test and my jaw dropped. I covered my mouth and began to tear with what appeared joy. I looked down at the small stick which had a clear as day plus sign on it. I ran out of the bathroom crying tears of joy."well?" Jax asked nervous. I showed her the test and she forced me to take the rest.

   Here we are Two hours later and all the tests are done. As suspected, all turned out positive. Jax and I had clearly hid all the tests but one to show Josh, but we were sitting on my bed when someone knocked on the door."hey Linkin log.. Everything okay? It's been a while" I heard Josh say."uh yeah we're fine just playing a game" I replied giggling."oh, okay, we're having Taco Bell for dinner" he said."okay" I replied."alright.. I'll let you know when it's here.. Love you" he said through the door. I hesitated to reply considering Jax was infront of me,"I love you too" I replied quickly. I heard his footsteps disappear and we continued. We came Up with the grand plan to tell him tomorrow during dinner since everyone would be here for Patrick. We settled the plan and headed downstairs. We pretty much hung out till the end of the night then went to bed.
--- next day, 4 pm--
It's been a nervous day.. Jax and I have been working hard as crap to make Patrick's birthday dinner. I mean, Patrick's my best male friend so I wanted too. He didn't exactly know we were doing this so I had duty on distracting him. He called me as we put the macaroni in the oven."hello?" I asked."hey link.. Are you busy?"."not really, what's the big birthday boy want to do?"."hmm.. We could go to the mall?" He asked."sure! Be there to pick you up in 5" I said clicking off. I washed my hands and gathered my phone, wallet, and keys. I drove to Patrick's and he climb in."hello link" he said happily."Hiya pattycakes" I said chuckling."ready?" I asked."sure am" he said and we headed to the mall. We walked around the stores and shopped a little, even stopped for a few fan pictures. We finished up when Jax texted me the okay."ready trick?" I asked seeing he has gone everywhere."yeah.. You?" He asked."yeah, wanna come to the house?" I asked."sure, can we watch Supernatural? You've Got me hooked" he said lightly laughing."sure!". And with that we headed to my house. We arrived and walked in. Everyone screamed happy birthday and Patrick smiled. I platonically kissed his cheek and Josh looked a little angry. We all sat at the table and I sat inbetween Jax and Josh. We all had just finished eating when i decided it was time. I poked Josh and waited for a reply."yes Linkin log?" He asked."I have to tell you something" I said nervously."you can tell me anything, babe" he said. Patrick started to turn red. I got up and grabbed the test Jax and I left out.  I walked over to Josh and handed it to him. He began to smile."are you pranking me?" He asked while looking at me. I shook my head no and he jumped up pulling me in the tightest hug."I'm gonna be a dad" he said crying with joy. I began crying with him as we swayed a little bit. They're was a few 'aw's and then Josh pulled away and lowered to his knees. He lifted up my shirt to reveal a developing baby bump. He put his hands around it and then kissed the middle. He looked up at me and smiled enormously. Josh stood up and kissed me. After we finished, Tyler walked over and hugged him. They began to talk, and so did everyone else. I noticed Patrick was teary eyed so I pulled him out of the kitchen into the living room. He was letting the tears roll down his face without making noise."pattycakes, what's wrong?" I asked sitting him on the couch. He shook his head and continued to hold back sobs. I pulled him into a hug."hey, trick, look, whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be okay.. On the brightside, you're an uncle" I said trying to calm him down. I felt his grip tighten and he began to spoke."I guess you're right". I hugged him a little longer then pulled away."look, everything's fine" I told him smiling. He smiled back. We went back into the kitchen and sat back down. Josh held my hand and we all finished up....  
        Things have changed for me.
