If It Hadn't Been For Love

Chapter 15

"Good morning baby." I felt someone touching my hair and woke up.

"Fuck!" I was too shocked that I fell from my bed. Luckily, there was a huge, thick pillow on the floor and my body hit on there.

I'm sorry baby.

I held my bump and carefully sat up.

"Mum?" I was confused why my mum is in here.

"Sorry baby for waking you up in this way, come on honey." Mum went to me and helped me to stand up.

"Good morning again Delly." Mum pecked my cheek.

"I'm sorry mum, I was just too shocked lol. Good morning too! How did you get in here?"

"You gave me an extra key, remember?" Mum smirked.

"Oh, oh yes. Sorry I forgot mum. I-" I felt the urge of throwing up so I ran quickly to my bathroom and locked the doors.

Fuck. Why now? Shit.

"Delly, honey? Are you alright?" I heard her voice from the outside.

I did not say anything since I was still vomiting on the sink.

How am I gonna say this to mum? She'll probably disown me as her daughter. Ugh. Fuck you Alex. Fuck you!

"Delly, open this door at once." Mum commanded.

"No mum!" I yelled like I was a child, refusing to take a bath.

"Adele Laurie Blue Adkins! You stubborn big baby, let me in!" I can feel the nervousness on her voice.

Fuccccccck!!!!! I curse you Alex and your doxy!

With my head bowed down, I opened the door.

"My God baby! Are you okay? You're going to kill me for being so worried about you!" Mum hugged me so tight.

No mum, you're wrong. The news I've got for you will be the one who'll took away your breath.

"Mum... I need to tell you something..." I said without lifting my gaze.

"Yes? you should explain all of this Delly. Are you sick honey?" Mum lifted my chin. She saw my eyes filled with suppressed tears.

"Oh mum! I'm sorry!" I said as I hugged her neck so tight.

"Wait baby. I understand that you missed me... But honey... You're choking me..."

"I'm sorry mum." I said giggling.

"What's happening?" Mum looked me into the eyes.

"Muuuum!" I said hugging her neck again while sobbing.

"Goodness gracious Delly, are you crazy baby? You were crying then you laughed then here you are, crying again." Mum cupped my face and held it steady.

"Mum, I'm going to tell you something..."

"Adele. Say it straight to my face. Stop being a cliffhanger." Mum pulled out her serious face.

"Mum can you do me a favor? Will you please smile first? You're going to kill me with that look."

"Oh Delly, you're such a wag!" Mum laughed.

"That's better." I smiled and pulled her into my bed.

I took a deep breathe and notice that mum is just staring at me.

"Mum!" I called her attention.

"What Delly? You're acting weird baby. You're emotions are fluctuating, are you on your period?"

"Mum follow whatever I do huh?"

"Okay?" Mum stared at me confused.

I inhaled and exhaled, motioning her to imitate me. We did sets of breathing until mum interrupted me and it caused me to jump a little because I was shocked.

"Delly! Can you please?" Mum squeezed my hand.

"Mum please, stop scaring me. It's not good for my baby." I sighed, holding my belly.

Uh oh. Fuck I slipup.

"I'm sorry, you did not informed-" mum stopped and widened her eyes.

"You're-"

"Mum! I'm really sorry. I'm sorry because I was too stupid to give myself to Alex. I thought he loves me but... But... Ugh mum! I fucking hate that man! I'm in the urge of shredding his dick into pieces and mum, I understand if you'll be ashamed of me. I'll understand if you'll hate me. I'll understand if you want to disown me as your daughter-" I was stopped, panting.

"Woah! Adele baby! Where did that ideas came from? Who told you I'll be angry at you and disown you as my baby? I would never do that to you my princess, never in my entire life." Mum rubbed my back.

"I thought you'll be shifty with me for being a careless woman, for getting pregnant at this early age." My tears started to drop.

"Baby, don't you ever doubt my love for you honey. I won't leave you, you are my life you know that Delly. I've been there before, remember? I told you, I had you when I was still 17 (a/n: fuck I forgot how old Mrs. Adkins got pregnant to Adele 🙈) and I made it through without the help of your father. And look at you now, you're going to be a mum! You're going to experience the sweetness of life I had when I got pregnant to you." Mum flashed her sweetest smile and caressed my cheeks.

"But mum, I'm still too young tho. 19, merely 20? Fuck." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Me, 17; you, 19. Not bad baby lol." Mum chuckled.

"Mum!" I said as I held my face.

"I'm just kidding my Delly. So, how was my grandchild? Is he doing well? Are you doing fine? Did you already went to the doctor?" Mum was intrigued.

"Yes mum, we're fine. I went to my ob-gyn yesterday and she told me my baby is strong and I'm 2 months and 1 week pregnant." I smiled.

"That's great baby! I'm so proud of you! Finally I'm going to be a grandmother! I waited for it for a long time." Mum caressed my bump.

"You wanted this all the time?" My eyes widened.

"Yes baby! It's been years since I carried a child. But I did not imagined you having a baby with Alex. I knew you deserve better than him."

"Then who would that be mum?" I smiled to her.

"Simon, your best friend. He's really the perfect guy for you honey." I almost choke of what I heard.

A/N: lol exactly 1000+ words. I really wanted this chapter to be longer but I'm having a difficulty on breathing right now. Ugh. I'm sorry guys. I'll just see you on the next chapter 😊 x
