Dancing Away With My Heart

Chapter 23

It was 8:00. I woke up with an insane headache. Alan was sleeping peacefully next to me. I got out of bed and slowly walked down the steps. I knew someone was awake because I heard noise, but I didn't know who it was, but, I was praying that it wasn't Jenna. Thankfully, When I reached the bottom of the stairs I saw Sasha making coffee.

"Morning, Boozy" He says. I sarcastically smile.

"Morning" I say.

"Care to join me on the patio for some coffee?" He asks holding out a coffee cup in my direction.

"Sure" I say and follow him out to the patio, He shuts the sliding glass door behind us and then we sit on the lounges.

"So, How are you feeling?" He asks.

"Aside from this killer headache, I feel fine" I say taking a sip of coffee. "Where is everyone else at?"

"Well, Alan and Emma stayed up until about five o'clock this morning watching you, making sure you were okay" He explains. " And, I never went to sleep because I couldn't get comfortable" .

"And Jenna?" I ask.

"She was up and down all night throwing up" Sasha says. "I sat in the bathroom with her for an hour holding her hair back, Emma thinks she has a stomach bug".

"Yeah, Well, There's something in her Stomach" I say.

"So, Care to tell me what made you out and get drunk last night?" He asks.

"It...It was nothing" I say.

"Yeah, I don't believe that at all" He says. I sigh and look behind me back into the living room of the condo to make sure no one else was awake.

"Promise me you won't say a word to Alan or Emma about this" I say.

"I promise" He says.

"The reason Jenna is throwing up all the time isn't because of a stomach bug" I say quietly.

"Then what's the reason?" Sasha asks.

"Morning Sickness" I answer.

"But, Morning sickness happens when women get pregnant" He says sounding confused.

"Yeah" I say.

"Wait, Are you saying that Jenna is..?"

"16 weeks" I say.

"Oh My God" He says. "But, Dani, that isn't anything you should go get hammered over".

"No, But the fact that the baby is Alan's is" I say. He spits out the coffee he just took a gulp of.

"What?!"

"Now do you understand?" I ask.

"Yeah, That's...Crazy" He says. I take a sip of coffee nodding my head. "And, Alan doesn't know?".

"Well, If she just told me about it yesterday, do you really think Alan knows?" I say.

"Probably Not" He says.

"I-Im not even angry because she's pregnant, I just wish she told me" I said. "Well, and I kind of wish that it wasn't my husband's child".

"I understand" Sasha says.

"She kept saying she was scared to tell me because she didn't want me to hate her" I say. "I-I could never hate her, I just really don't want to see her right now".

"Well, Luckily, Today you don't have to because Alan has a special activity planned" He says with a smile.

"Should I talk to her before then?" I ask.
