Saint - Finding the Normalcy Within the Abnormality

Chapter 6

At school, Axton approached me very warily. Callie has become a little ball of yap who wants every second of my time nowadays and he's very scared of her. So when it comes to making plans these last few weeks he's always on his toes. He asked if I had and plans before we decided I would go to his house after school. However, with that comes with the fact I have to stay with him while he's at basketball practice. This is the one thing I dreaded. Lately, my energy has been on zero and while he practiced I was asleep the whole time. He woke me up and we went to his car to go to his house.

Axel and Jaceson were waiting in his driveway in Axel's car when we arrived. We all went inside together and as I waited for Axton to finish his shower I had a tiny nap. Axton came downstairs and I sat on the couch while they surrounded me like starving baby birds. I helped them with their homework but I couldn't help but think the O'Hara couch seemed very comfortable today. I never notice how soft it is. No one will mind if I lay down for a moment.

"Are you sleeping again?!" Jaceson exclaimed startling me awake. "All you do is eat and sleep nowadays!"

"If I didn't know better I would think you're pregnant," Axel said causing Jaceson to clap his hands amused.

"We should take a test," Jaceson suggested

"Why when we know the results?" Axton snorted.

"With the way, Jake's been acting you never know," Jaceson argued. "I have a test in my bag."

"Why?" I asked and he let out a laugh.

"Sicily thought she was pregnant cause she missed her period, but the first came out negative so she just told me to throw the other one away," Jaceson explained mentioning his older sister.

"That's why you wanna do this. You don't want to waste your money cheapskate," Axel accused.

"Don't I know it," Jaceson said with a laugh. "Take it, Jake."

I was forced into a bathroom by Jaceson. I followed the directions the box and when I was finished I gave it to him. He said it had to sit for two minutes and we'd know when it finished. I doubt I'm pregnant for one very important reason I'm a guy. The test began to beep and Jaceson snatched it up before anyone else could. He looked to me with a straight face and said:

"You're pregnant," He said and Axel began to laugh. "I'm being so fucking serious right now."

I laugh as well and take the test from him. Of course, it had to say positive. Of course, it did. When I was silent Axton took the test from me. As soon as he saw it he began apologizing. My fist clenched and my jaw locked in anger.

"Take me to CVS now," I demanded and he quickly got his keys.

Axel and Jaceson rode with us for the heck of it. However, I was seething, livid. Why the hell did this happen to me? As soon as we got there I made a beeline for the tests and grabbed as many as I could get and made Jaceson grab a jug of juice. When we went to check out the lady gave us a smile.

"I wouldn't use this kind sweetheart. They always come out negative unless you're in your third trimester. And water is a better choice. Juice makes the pee a little more acidic so it may come out negative as well," She explained.

Axel exchanged it for a jug of water. On the way on I practically chugged the whole jug of water. Of course, I didn't finish it, but I drank a lot and I kept drinking when we got to Axton's house. I had enough pee to take three test at one time. As we waited I kept an icy glare on Axton the whole time. He sat on the floor twiddling his thumbs like a doofus. When we checked the test again they all read positive.

"It's the curse," Jaceson hissed causing Axel to slap him in the chest.

"Jacob I'm so sorry," Axton apologized grabbing my hands and I snatch them away.

"I need to go home now," I gulp and he nodded quickly accommodating my wishes.

When I got home my parents were arguing with Brendan about his wedding. Brendan who still had yet to get married wanted to borrow my dad's 1962 Chevy for the wedding. Of course, this blew up because they didn't even want him married while he was still in college. Which I guess is understandable. They want him to wait a few years and establish himself before getting married. But what do I know? I'm pregnant. I scurry to my room before anyone notices me. I leaped for my phone which had been at home charging at day. I find the number of the nearest free clinic and make an appointment. I text Axton soon after telling him about my plans.

The next morning I pretend to go to school and instead go to Axton's house. He had a pitiful look on his face and his parents were behind him. His father seemed upset while his mother was trying her damnedest to hold back a smile. It didn't work.

"Sorry. They beat it out of me," Axton said and I looked at him appalled.

"Come in Jacob," Leon said motions me in.

He motioned to the couch where I sat but not without the help of Axton. Apparently, since I'm pregnant I'm not able-bodied anymore. He scurried off to find me some water as well leaving me alone with his parents.

"Alright. Conception is when? Axton keeps talking about it's all his fault and as far as I know sex involves two parties," Leon said

"Around September 15. I was piss drunk and Axton was DD so of course he had to be sober and he took advantage of my intoxicated stated," I tattled

"Axton Kristen O'Hara I thought I taught you better than that!" Bianca exclaimed chastising her son.

"We won't keep you long since you have an appointment," Leon said. "But when you guys come back we're going to have a serious talk. And we need to talk to your parents Jacob."

Before I could object we were ushered outside to Axton's car. Axton drove really well. Then again he was driving a tad slower than he usually does. Except on the freeway, some asshole cut us off making Axton slam his break and almost causing us to get hit from behind. This pissed Axton off and beeped his horn only to get the finger from the guy. It pissed him off even more to the point that Axton rode his bumper and flashed his lights on and off. I tried to talk reason but Axton's childish. The car stopped in the middle of the freeway and he got out. Axton got out as well.

"Is there a problem bro?!" This guy who seemed only a few years older than us yelled in Axton's face.

"Yes, there is! You almost caused us to get in an accident! I have my pregnant boyfriend in the car!" Axton screamed in his face and shoved his shoulder. Oh lord.

The guy looked to me and I gave him a shy wave and an apologetic look. The guy apologizes and swears he wouldn't do that to a pregnant person if he had known. I'm shook. How could he believe so easily that me, a guy, is pregnant? They shook hands and got into their car. Axton gave me a goofy smile and we were off to the clinic.
