Too Much Is Never Enough: Chapter 6
~Kira P.O.V.~
We just stood there. He held me tight and didn't say one word. The mood was tense and I felt a rush of emotions because I didn't know how he felt about this news.
I felt so ashamed of myself. Here I am, 16, in high school, not married, not even grown and now I'm pregnant. I wanted to tell my Mother but we just rekindled our friendship and I didn't want to destroy it by feeding into her assumptions and admitting that I was pregnant.
"Are you sure you're pregnant Kira?" He finally broke the silence that surrounded us. I simply nodded my head against his chest. "Like 100 percent positive?"
"Joey it's been well over a month since my last period and I've been feeling nauseated a few of these mornings. I went to the doctors, I took a test and it came out positive." I said as tears started to roll down my cheek. This isn't what I wanted and I know this isn't what Joey wanted, especially after just getting over the Tasha problem.
"How long have you known?" He asked still holding me tight against his chest; not caring that I was soaking his shirt with my tears.
"I've known for just about a week." He pushed me back gently and held my chin up so I was looking directly into his eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me the day you found out?" He asked so sympathetically with a little bit of hurt in his voice.
"I was scared." I wanted to look away from his eyes but he wouldn't let me; His iris' staring deep into mine.
"Why would you be scared to tell me?" The hurt that was in his voice had moved up to his eyes. They softened under the fact I was hiding something from him. I never wanted to hide it from him.
"Because all the drama with Tasha going on and I didn't want to add onto-"
"Kira. Tasha drama was just dumb effortless bullshit. I already knew that child wasn't mine. Nothing would have added onto my stress because there was none to begin with. I'm sorry if it seemed like telling me would have only angered me or flustered me but if its regarding you, I'll put everything to the side and focus solely on you." He gently cupped my face in his hands and it looked like he had something to say but was thinking wisely about how to say it. "Kira, I have no doubt in my mind that; that baby is mine and I'm not saying you were sleeping around or anything but the baby is mine right?"
"I'm not appalled by that, its just a question. Yes the baby is yours without a doubt." I knew Joey didn't want children at a young age, very much like me. I kept searching his face for some sort of expression that let me know how he really felt. "Can you please tell me how you really feel?" I asked quietly as I closed my eyes.
"I honestly don't know what to tell you. I don't know how I feel because this isn't something to take lightly." I felt his hands drop from my face and I heard him start walking up the stairs. I wasn't going to panic about him walking away because I know he wanted to have time to himself since this is a big deal of news to swallow.
I woke up with Joey's back turned to me and he was restless all night long. He kept tossing, turning, and constantly getting up to go to the bathroom or kitchen. I wanted to reach over and hug him but I didn't know if he would be happy if I did that.
I started to feel nauseated so I got out of bed and jogged to the bathroom holding my mouth until I got to the toilet and felt the stomach acid burn my throat as it came out of my mouth. I felt a pair of hands pull my hair back and away from my face.
"Thank You" I managed to mumbled before the next round came up.
"Mhm" he said as he started to rub my upper back in soothing small circles. I was glad he at least said something, may not have been a full structured word but it was something. I felt him put my hair up in a clip before I heard his footsteps move slightly over to the sink. "I'll get your toothbrush ready" he said with a soft yawn. I just nodded my head as I spit up the last bit.
