17 and pregnant

Chapter 4

Hunter grabbed the bags he filled with clothes threw them on the bed. Then he grabbed my laptop , headphones, backpack, phone charger and nail polish an the bin of my uncles stuff. He knows how important it is, because my uncle was like my dad, But then he died in an accident. The other guy was a drunk driver and is serving jail time. Asshole..

When he finished packing , I grabbed a couple other things and put them in my purse. He grabbed a majority of the bags and I grabbed the ones that were left. We went downstairs and I completely ignored my mom. And I hugged my dad and told him I loved him and that I was sorry. He slipped something in my pocket then made 'the quiet sign'

When Hunter and I got into the car, I reached in my pocket and I pulled out money with a note stuck to it that read :

"This was actually your college savings , but I think supplies for the baby is more important. I'm sorry Aria. I love you so much"

My dad has always made things better, when my mom was not around... In a bad situation he knows how to make it better. I guess that's what dads are for. So I really hope my mom doesn't find out.. 15,000 dollars. She shouldn't find out because my dad is the only one that saves up for me.

Hunter looked at the money and smiled.

"Where the hell did you get that?"

"My dad... he just gave it to me. it's my college savings, but he said the baby would be more important."

"Wow.. Your dad isn't such an asshole after all."

"Yeah. Well let's go tell your parents what's going on"

Hunter said alright, leaned over , and kissed me.

On our way to his house , which is about 15 minutes, we talked about the living situation for the baby.

I am going to live with him until we can get our own apartment or small 2 bedroom house..

When we got to his house, we went in the living room where his mom was and we were just standing there waiting for her attention to turn to us.

"Hey Aria! Hey Hunter! what are you guys doing?"

"Mom. We need to talk."

"How far along are you?"

"Mom what are you talking about?"

"Arias pregnant, right?"

We all just looked at each other.. I was really shocked that she knew. I think hunter was too.

"Yes. She is, can she stay here? Her parents kicked her out.

"Of course she can, she's always welcome here"

She smiled and stood up ,kissed me on the forehead , and told me everything was going to be okay.
