Rachel's P.O.V

*At dinner*

We are all sitting around the table. Elizabeth (Hayes's and Nash's mother) had fixed lasagna which is usually my favorite meal, but tonight just the smell of it makes me sick to my stomach. I think it was just nerves, so I force myself to eat. I quickly regret this choice and run to the bathroom to puke my guts out.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" I hear a familiar voice belonging to Hayes say from the door. Once I am finished, I collapse on the floor exhausted, and look up to see Hayes, Nash, and Elizabeth all standing there with worried looks on their faces.
"Are you okay dear?" Elizabeth questions.
"I'm fine. It was probably just something I ate earlier," I respond trying to convince Elizabeth I was fine.
"Okay, if you're sure you're fine, I'll be at the table. You can come when you're ready," she says and smiles at me before she leaves.
"What really happened?" Hayes asks.
"Well, apparently the baby didn't want to eat your mom's lasagna so it made me throw it up," I explain.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he apologizes
"It's fine. I'm used to it," I respond to him.
"So, when are you going to tell our parents you're pregnant?" Nash asks. I shoot a questioning look at Hayes.
"How about now?" Hayes suggests.
"I guess now is as good of time as any," I sigh worried about how they will react.
"It'll be fine. Trust me," Hayes says grabbing my hand.
We quickly return to the dinning room and take our seats. After a couple minutes, Hayes clears his throat and stands up.
Once everyone is looking at him, he begins to speak,"Rachel and I have an announcement. She wasn't sick because of something she ate. She was sick because she is pregnant."
"What?" Elizabeth asks,"Hayes how could you get a girl pregnant?"
"Listen mom, I'm sorry, and I will take full responsibility for Rachel and this baby. All we ask is that you will support our decision," Hayes says.
"I am very disappointed in you, but I'm glad you're keeping it. I will support you and Rachel in this difficult time," she says.
"Thanks mom," he replies smiling. I was relived that at least his family supports us.
"You're welcome. Have you told Rachel's parents yet?" she questions looking at me. Well, there goes my gladness.
"Umm no, we were planning on telling them tonight," I speak up.
"Okay, I can drive you if you would like?" she asks.
"That sounds great, thanks," I say.
As she goes to get the keys, Skylynn walks up and sits next to me.
"So there's a baby in your tummy?" She asks with a confused look on her face.
"Yes, sweetie, there is," I say smiling at how adorable she is.
"Did you eat it?" she questions horrified. At this Hayes broke out into a fit of laughter.
"No," I chuckle,"I didn't eat it."
"Then how did it get in there?" she asks.
I shoot a nervous glance at Hayes, and he just smirks at me.
"I think you should ask Hayes. He knows a lot more about this than I do," I smirked at Hayes.
"Okay," she yells running over to Hayes.
"So, how did it get in there?" she asks.
"Well um," he blushes,"Il'l you tell when you're older."
"Okay. Pinkie swear?" she asks.
"Pinkie swear," he promised as they intertwined pinkies.
Right after that, Elizabeth walks in holding the keys.
"Found them. Ready to go?" she questions.
"Yeah," I reply nervously.
"It's going to be okay," Hayes whispers in my ear, and I suddenly don't feel as nervous any more.
