Flesh and Blood

Unhappy Birthday

"I want pizza"

"You always want pizza"

"I know. It's my favorite."

I giggled at Tristan while we watched movies. My dad and Colby have Tristan staying with me while my dad is gone during the week. It was mainly because I was pregnant and my dad was worried about me being home alone..."What if something happens?" he said...he's such a worrywart. Things have been better here though. My dad spends nearly all of his down time at home with me and I make sure that I get to school every day and do my work. It's getting harder and harder at school though. The bigger I get the more people talk and Caleb prances around with his new girlfriend spreading lies about me. And he told everyone about my dad and all of the times he had to help me pick him up off of the floor. I sighed and looked down and picked at my nail polish

"Cassie I really think you need to tell your dad what's going on at school."

I shook my head "No. I just need to learn to deal with it.'

"Yeah, but Cassie...I...."

"I'll be fine. Look I'm gonna go get pizza. I'm hungry and I'm in the mood for a Hawaiian pizza. I'll be back"

I grabbed my keys and purse and headed to my car to get pizza. I felt the baby move and I put my hand on my stomach and smiled thinking about Thursday. It was my birthday, my dad's birthday and I get to find out if it's a girl or boy. I turned on the radio, plugged my phone into the stereo and turned on "My Kind of Love"  and started to sing along. Half way through the song my phone rang and I picked up

"Hi daddy"

"Hey kiddo. Are you OK?"

"Yep...I'm good. On my way to get pizza."

He laughed at me "Pizza huh? Is Tristan with you?"

".....No...."

"Cassieee"  He sounded annoyed 

"Daddy I'm fine. It's just up the street. I'm being safe. I promise."

"Alright fine. I'm just calling to check on you two. I love you."

"I love you too. I'll see you in 2 days."

I picked up my pizza and started to head for home

Jon's POV:

I sat on the couch in my locker room and waited for the show to end. Colby came in and sat down. I looked over and smiled and got up from my seat and went over to my bag. I pulled out a little black box and brought it over and handed it to him

"Oh honey...you shouldn't have"

I backhanded his arm as he laughed "Asshole. I bought this for Cassie for her birthday. Do you think she'll like it?"
