I felt a lump in my throat as I was now allowed to leave the room. I walk around the hospital, trying to find Justin. I called him a few times but he didn't pick up.

Is he sad that he's going to be a dad?

It's so obvious that I'm pregnant. I should've know the first time I started puking. And I missed my period a few days ago so it should've been obvious.

Justin's probably waiting for me outside. The doors automatically open when I stand in front of them. I look around and found Justin at the side of the building. He was smoking.

"Justin?" My voice cracked, seeing that he's upset but he's dealing with it by smoking.

"Let's go home." He mumbled, throwing the cigarette on the ground.

I followed him to the car. I sat in the passenger's seat and I leaned my head against the window. I felt tears slip down my cheek.

My life is going to change forever. I felt Justin glance over at me a few times. We got home to my house and we entered.

"Soo, is there anything wrong?" Alisha says.

"I'm pregnant." I said.

Alisha hugs me. I dig my nose into her shoulder. I pull away.

"Congratulations." She smiles.

"Thanks... I gotta look for my baby daddy." I awkwardly say.

I look around the house, and found him on the balcony, smoking. I stood next to him.

"You shouldn't be smoking. Especially near me. It's unhealthy for you and the baby." I said.

"Then why did you come near me?" Justin mumbled, finishing his cigarette and throwing it on the grass, basically littering on my lawn but he technically lives here now.

"Justin, I don't know why you're upset, but you gotta stop." I said.

"You're pregnant with MY baby for god's sake! My life is going to change drastically." Justin says, walking back into our bedroom.

(Btw their bedroom has a balcony.)

"I know how you feel, Justin. And I'm sorry." I said.

"I-I don't know what to think." Justin says.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I asked.

"I want it to be a girl so I can call her my little princess." Justin says.

"Same." I blushed a little.

"I can't believe we're talking about our child. Where is the room for the baby?" Justin asked.

"I don't know. Alisha took the room."

"Wow. We have a kid together and we aren't even dating."

"We don't have to be dating to take care of our child." I said.

"You're right. We don't have to." Justin says coldly.

"Justin.."

He all of the sudden hugs me, kissing my cheek. I hug him back and I fell his tears slip down onto my shoulder.

He's crying? I've never seen him cry before.

"I'm going to fall in love with you." He says, making me form a lump in my throat.

"You don't have to love me back." He says, hugging me a little tighter but making sure he doesn't crush our baby.
