Ch.8 part 2
Jamie's POV
"You called him?!" I yelled.
"Ya, what's the problem?" He asked innocently.
"What did you say? Did you tell him about Savannah? Why did you call him." I asked.
"I was inviting him to the party I'm throwing tonight. Don't worry, Mom said that she will take Savannah to see the grandparents so she won't be effected." He said coolly as he sat down on the couch near Savannah. I had to lower my voice so I didn't wake her.
"Did you mention Savannah?" I yelled in a hushed tone.
"No why?"
"I haven't told him yet. You are NOT to tell him, do you hear me? He isn't to know until I say!" I told him.
"You haven't told him?!" Eric whispered yelled. "He's the father, Jamie! You can't keep this a secret forever!"
"I wasn't planning on keeping it a secret forever! I just need some time. Promise me you wont tell! Promise." I said.
"I promise, but he's still coming over tonight. So you better get along with him cause I don't want you two fighting." He said. I groaned as I walked to the kitchen to get dinner and apparently get dressed for the party tonight.
"Wait, how did you know we were fighting?" I asked.
"He seemed confused that I'd be inviting him over and he asked if you knew. I finally got him to come though, so run along and get ready. You need to look good. I don't want you embarrassing me in front of my friends." He laughed. I glared at him and walked out.
I finished eating dinner and fed Savannah. I brought her upstairs and put her in the swing while I got undressed. I realized I hadn't taken a shower that morning and grabbed the baby monitor and brought it into my personal bathroom. I gave her a quick kiss before I grabbed an outfit and put it on my bed. I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I put on my white robe and went back into my bedroom and turned the t.v. on for Savannah. She needed noise to keep her busy.
"I'll be right back baby." I said as I gave her another kiss. I saw her smile and I smiled back. I walked into the bathroom. I took off the robe and stepped into the steamy shower. I relaxed as I washed my hair and body and listened to Savannah's gurgling on the monitor. I heard elmo talking on the t.v. and laughed as I heard her giggling.
She was only three months old, but she laughed and cooed and even giggled every now and then so much. She was a very lively baby. I loved her so much. I thought sadly about what I was doing to her. I was keeping her from her daddy. I felt guilty and contemplated whether or not to tell him tonight.
I got out of the shower and dried off. I was going to have to be brave enough to do this. It was fair, for all of us. I got dressed in my thigh length purple lacy dress. It had wide straps and a v neck. I put on my black high sandals with rhinestones on the straps. I put on my shining silver charm bracelet my parents got me after I came back.
I put on a thin silver chained necklace with a small diamond on the end. I looked at it and then took it off. It was the one Austin got me a couple days before our first time, our only time. Though I wish it wasn't. I let my wavy hair down and put on black eye makeup. I was ready and turned off the t.v. I picked up Savannah and brought her downstairs.
I cuddled her close and wished I could go with them to see my grandparents instead of staying at the party, but Mom said it was good for me to keep up my social life as well as care for my baby. I sighed and I lifted her over my head and gave her a kiss. I lowered her and brought her back up. Her smiling and me laughing. I settled her in her car seat and watched as Mom put on her coat.
"She'll be fine, sweetheart." Mom said reassuringly.
"I know, but I'm going to miss her so much." I said as I looked at her sucking on her fist.
"Eric has all the baby stuff in my room. He shut our doors so none of it is able to be seen." She said as she gave me a hug.
"Thanks. I'll see you later." I said as I watched her pick up the car seat.
"Bye Honey, I love you."
"Love you too Mom." I said. I waited as she pulled out of the driveway and waved before I shut the door. Eric came up behind me.
"Can you help me get the beer and snacks out?" He asked.
"Fine." I said. I walked into the kitchen and helped him out.
An hour later the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw Austin standing there.
"Hey." I said.
"Hi, your brother invited me." He said putting his hand in his jean pocket. His black leather jacket was sexy on his body. I remembered how his chest felt underneath my hands. I shook the thought from my head and let him in. He seemed to be looking me over with wide eyes for the second time since he got in.
"You look beautiful." He said. He seemed to have realized what he said because he became quiet. Eric walked in, saving me from a very awkward moment.
