My One and Only

Chapter XXII

"Hey it's gonna be okay you're not alone in this I'll be there for you" said Daytona.
"So will I no matter what you decide on we will be there" Charlie added.
"Thanks you guys it really means alot" I said.
"I'm just gonna take a wild guess and assume Mikey is the father" said Charlie.
"Wow how did you know" I said sarcastically.
"Well she sort of told me what you were planning that one day and I figured the rest" he said looking at Daytona.
I rolled my eyes smiling shyly.
"I'm just really scared to tell him and I don't know what to do" I said rubbing my forehead.
"Like I said we will help you through whatever don't worry too much" Daytona said smiling.
I smiled "I think I'm gonna go try and take a nap" she nodded and I was about to go back to my bedroom but stopped.
"Please keep this a secret for right now I wanna tell Mikey when the time is right" I said to them.
"I promise not to say anything yet" said Charlie.
"Better not cause I will kick your ass" I said
"And I will help her" Daytona said making me smile.
I then walked to my bedroom.
After closing the door I sighed and kicked off my shoes to climb into bed.
I tried processing everything that the doctor said.
I was pregnant with Mikey Manfs baby but why?
Why was I pregnant with his baby if he didn't even want me? It didn't make sense.
I psyched myself out and decided to sleep away my stress and thoughts like always.

The next few months were long and rough. I woke up throwing up almost every morning and the back pains, oh the back pains they were already setting in and they were beyond painful. Currently I am almost 4 months along meaning I wasn't really showing but I had a little hump. Time was running out and I couldn't push this back anymore. I had to tell Mikey, Charlie has been bugging me to tell him lately and today was the day I needed to get my shit together and tell him. We still weren't talking at this point but he still needed to know what was going on.

As a little kid I was always against abortion and that was still the case now.That left me with two options, keep it or give it up for adoption. I still never really came to a conclusion.

After getting ready I grabbed my phone and keys and went downstairs.
I assumed Charlie and Daytona were still asleep because they weren't in the living room nor the kitchen. They've grown super overprotective in the past few months. It was almost as if they were my parents. I wrote a note saying I was running errands and left it on the counter.
Then after slipping on my shoes I went out to my car getting into it.

It took about 15 minutes to arrive at Mikey's apartment. After parking I took a deep breath before going to the elevator. Once the doors opened I walked in and pressed the button leading to their floor. As the numbers on the elevator went up I got more and more nervous.
The doors soon opened and there was no turning back now.
I got out walking over to the door hesitant to knock.
You wouldn't understand how much I wanted to turn around and just run back down to my car.
I sighed and left a soft knock on their door.

A few seconds later a sleepy Gavin opened the door.
"Hey Aryana what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I uh need to talk to Mikey" I said.
He then opened the door wider revealing Mikey sitting on the couch.
I awkwardly looked down at the floor when I felt Mikey's eyes on me.
"Aryana? what are you doing here?" he asked looking beyond confused.
"I just need to talk to you" he stared at me silent.
"In private" I said fumbling with my fingers.
He then got off of the couch grabbing my hand leading me out to their balcony.
"What's up?" he asked after closing the door.
His choice of words kinda threw me off. Especially since we hadn't talked for months.
"Well I don't really know how to put this but" I paused.
"What what is it?" he asked again.
"You remember around the time about I don't know 3 months ago before we got into that huge argument-" he then interrupted me.
"Aryana I'm still so sorry I-" I interrupted him back.
"No let me finish" I said shushing him.
I let out a big sigh.
"Mikey I'm pregnant and you're the father"
As soon as I spoke those words his face fell pale and he began running his fingers through his hair as he paced back and forth.
"Are you joking please tell me you're joking" he said.
"I am NOT joking" I said looking at him starting to get annoyed.
"This can't be happening I have a girlfriend" he said.
At this point I had already grown so angry with him I decided to leave.
So before he could say anything else I swung open the door to the balcony and stormed out of their apartment.
After getting in the elevator and going back to my car I left their complex and decided to go somewhere to clear my mind.
The beach was the best place to go when I needed time to myself.

Once I got to the beach I parked and decided to leave my phone in the car.
I made my way to the water and stood at the shoreline overlooking the water and the sun setting in the distance.
Suddenly my stomach started to feel weird.
I kept feeling a slight thud in my stomach.
I assumed this was the baby kicking so I started rubbing my stomach to calm him/her.
"I'm new to this so go easy on me" I said.

I ended up relaxing on the beach until it became dark out before I decided to go home.
When I went back to my car I looked at my phone seeing I had way too many messages from Charlie, Daytona and Hailey altogether asking me where I was.
Before I could text any of them back my phone died.
I sighed and just decided to go home.

When I got back home and opened the front door Charlie and Daytona looked at me very concerned.
"Where have you been?" Daytona asked.
"I-I wen-t-to" I attempted to say something but my vision blurred and my head began to spin.
What was happening?
