The Vampire & The Witch(Trials of sucess)

Part 23

     "What's wrong?"Lilly asked with an expression on her face.

     "Nothing I'm just happy I got my stitches out."

    "You're lying, something else is bothering you."

    "I'm pregnant."

Lilly wasn't surprised, instead she was happy. She  hugged me then said congratulations.

      "No Lilly I'm freaking out. I just can't be pregnant."

      "Hey, you'll be fine. I promise."

      "Lilly please don't tell anyone until I figure out how I'm going to tell Josh."

      "I won't."

We drove home from the doctor's office and I hung out with my dad for the rest of the day avoiding Josh and his gaze.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a whole week since that doctors appointment and Lilly has managed to tell everyone in the house besides Josh, despite the fact that I told her not to. I still haven't found the right time to tell him. It seems like when I get ready to let him know, something always happens. I sat in the living room with my mom, NaNa, and my dad all staring at me nervously. Lilly was in the kitchen bringing me water and Josh was somewhere in the back.

    "Guys you can stop looking at me like my head's about to explode."

    "I just want to make sure my grand baby is alright."

    "I'm fine really."

    "I wasn't talking about you child I was talking about the little bun in the oven."

    "Gee thanks NaNa, love you too."

Lilly came in with my glass of water but before I could insist she sit down, because she was making me anxious, Josh came in with a certain look on his face.

     "Paris can I talk to you for a minute?"

     "Sure."

I got up and followed him into my room and sat on the bed.

     "What do you want..."

     "Do you think I'm stupid Paris?"

     "What are you talking about? Did you lose your favorite pair of jeans?"I chuckled.

     "Bun in the oven Paris? When the fuck were you going to tell me!"

All the color drained out of my face. Shit. How could he possibly know, Lilly wouldn't have told him, I know that for a fact.

     "I was gonna tell you Josh."

     "When? I just happened to walk in the living room and I hear your mom's thoughts about if you're going to have a boy or girl."

That's how he found out, I forgot all about the fact that he could read my mom's and dad's mind.

     "There was never a good time to tell you."

     "How could you be so stupid!" He yelled.

     "First of all lower your voice, you're not going to yell at me in my parents house. Second of all it's your fault as well. You ever hear of a condom Josh?"

     "Don't try to turn this around on me, we're talking about you. You get mad when I'm keeping stuff from you yet you're doing the same thing. You're supposed to come talk to me first Paris that's how it works. Am I even the father?"

My hand instantly met his face, which was a lot harder than I expected. It made my fingers throb. He didn't even flinch.

      "I've been with you since day one, there was never a minute that went by that I didn't think about you. So don't you dare say I cheated."

      "You're always yelling at me for doing wrong shit well now it's my turn. I need to cool off."

      "Where are you going to go."

      "Don't worry about me."

He grabbed his jacket and went out the door.

      "Go to hell Josh! I don't need you anyways!"I yelled and then slammed the door.

I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. So much for keeping my stress levels down. I mean how could I possibly cheat? When would I have the time to cheat? I was on the bed crying when I heard a knock on the door.

     "Go away."

My mom came in and sat down on the bed next to me. The tears were making it hard to see.

    "Sweetie this is not how to keep your stress down."

    "He's such an asshole. Does he really think that I would sleep with some one else?"

     "He's just saying those things because he's mad baby. He doesn't mean it."

     "Mom I didn't ask for this, I swear."

     "Sometimes god works in mysterious ways Paris, but it all fits in with his plans for you."

     "Is this how you felt when NaNa found out you were pregnant?"

     "Just about. We had a huge argument and we said things that neither of us meant. It blew over though because we both realized we were wrong."

     "Thanks mom. I'm glad that I have you."

     "No problem baby. Are you okay by yourself?"

     "I'm fine thank you."

I know she didn't believe me but she left the room so I could think. I was up all night, Lilly came in and kept me company but fell asleep as soon as she laid next to me on the bed. Her breathing was relaxing, it was a steady pace which made it easier for me to fall asleep.

I woke up and looked at my alarm clock it was 8:00 am. I went into the kitchen and grabbed myself a bowl of cereal. Josh was gone all night; Where could he have possibly gone? You know what I don't even want to know anymore. I hope and pray that he hasn't done anything wrong. Just then I hear the front door open and I see Josh.

       "Morning."I said but got no response back. "I thought you would come back to the house. Whose house did you sleep in last night?"

He walked pass me and went into the living room to watch football probably. Now I know how he felt when I was mad and stopped talking to him. Lilly walked into the kitchen and grabbed the box of cereal.

       "I still can't believe you're leaving and going back to New York today. Do you have to?" I asked.

       "Yea I have to go back and do some very important things but don't worry I'll visit as often as I can."

       "Thank you for staying longer than you were supposed to."

       "No problem French Fry, I need to go to the hotel and pack."

       "I'll help you."
