"josh!" i yelled jokingly, i punched my brother playfully as he made another joke about me. "mom! josh is making jokes about me and whales again!" i called.

mom walked into the lounge with her doctors outfit on. she smirked at josh and sat down next to me. "josh, what did we say about calling mel a whale?" mom joked.

"now, mel, you have a appointment this afternoon at the infirmary okay? that little baby of yours could come any day now and we need to keep an eye on you." she said rubbing my swollen 'whale' stomach. she kissed my forehead and walked out the door. then Josh stood up.

"i gotta go now, i'll see you when I get home." he called. then he left.

i started staying home after my sixth month of pregnancy because one, she didn't want me to go into labour at school, two, she knew i was going to get teased and three, i need to keep off my feet, relax as much as possible.

mom also wanted me to stay home because if i went into labour, i knew my mom would always be there. i want no one else but my mom delivering my baby. she was the only one i wanted there, mom had really been supportive during the pregnancy so i want her there for the birth.

i saw maddy emerge from her room, she was ready to start the day by the looks of her. "hey maddy." i simply said, she smiled and walked over.

"feeling any better?" she asked. i shook my head. the morning sickness was still going and i was going to pop any day now. "have a good day. contact me if anything changes okay?" she gave me a quick hug before walking out the door.

i sighed, having a mother as a doctor is great and all but not when your the patient and your her kid. ever since mom found out I was pregnant, she has been eying me like a hawk.

"mom, can i talk to you for a second?" i asked quickly. mom looked at me suspiciously and walked over and sat next to me on the couch.

"is everything okay sweetheart?" she asked. i nodded and let the tears drip down my face.

"i was raped..." i said. she looked at me and her eyes widened, a mask of concern on her face.

"you where what?" she asked. "are you okay? why didn't you tell me sooner."

"mom, i'm fine now. i wasn't going to tell you anyway."

"why the sudden change of plan?" i felt the hot tears drench my face and my pulled me in for a tight hug.

"something came up." i stopped. should i tell her? "i'm pregnant."

she looked at me and held a hand to her mouth, eyes tearing up.

"your pregnant?" she asked again. i nodded. i was going to be pregnant with a strangers baby. "we'll get through this... i promise."

present time

i had been feeling pains in my lower abdomen all morning, i assumed it was nothing. i had got pains in the very early stages of pregnancy so i thought it was nothing. i hoped it was nothing.

...

i looked over at the clock. time for my doctors appointment, again. i sighed, i went in for an appointment a couple of days ago.

i walked out the door, reminding myself that everything would be fine.

i stepped into the infirmary, my mom waiting for me at the door. i smiled at little and she walked towards me. she wrapped her arms around me for support. it wasn't easy being a fourteen year old being nine months pregnant.

...

the appointment was good, everything seems normal, mom said after today, she gonna stay home with me just in case anything happens, basically if I go into labour, my mom will be there.

i was surprised to see josh, tasha, skye, max and hunter sitting on the couch when I got home. "guys, what are you doing here?" i asked. skye ran over to me and so did tasha, cooing over me and my bump.

i cleared my throat, everyone looked at me. "so what are you doing?"

"otg, and your coming with us." skye said.

"skye, i can't go otg. i'm nine months pregnant..." i said stubbornly.

"exactly, we want to take you on one more otg trip before you become a mom." josh explained. i gave him the evils.

"please..." tasha begged.

"fine".

...

we kept walking until we were just two hundred metres away from the gates, out of sight but we could still see the gates from where we were.

my bump gave me a kick in the wrong spot and i whined. everyone looked at me. "i'm fine guys, the baby just decided to do boxing in my stomach..." i laughed.

i got suspicious looks passed around. "your sure you okay?" skye asked.

"skye i'm-" i started but i was cut off by a pain in my stomach. i whined and put my hand to my stomach.

"nope, where going back. your gonna have a baby." skye insisted. she and tasha wrapped their arms around me and we walked back inside the gates. i was about to have a baby.
