Secret Mistake

21.

** sorry I put the last chapter as 21 instead of 20 so I fixed it**

Gia POV

After taking a shower I stood there staring in the mirror. I wasn't naked but I had my sports bra and underwear on. Putting on a crop top shirt all I could do is stare at myself. This belly was bigger than I thought. This is getting real now.

My mistakes were real now and staring me right in my face. Rubbing over my belly I couldn't believe I got pregnant.

(Knock, knock)

"What?!" I asked.

"Your Mom is here" Delano said. Rolling my eyes because I wasn't in the mood to deal with her.

Walking out the bathroom I grabbed a pair of shorts and put it on. Seeing her just sitting there looking around. "How did you know where he lived?".

"No hello? How are you?" My mom said.  I stood there just staring at her she's up to something.

"I could ask you the same thing. You saw me and didn't say anything".

Delano just excused himself so he wouldn't be in the middle of what was about to happen.

"So this is your new home. Shabby place" my mom made a disgusted face as she looked around.

"Too shabby for you but I don't have a problem with it" she raised her brow and shook her head "and where will the baby sleep?".

"It'll sleep in the room with us. We have a crib we could put in there" my mom shook her head again.

"A baby should have its own room. So in the long run they can sleep alone and not with the parents".

"Well maybe if we had a bigger place it would be that way. But we have to make what we got. And since no one is complaining then I don't see why you care".

"Gigi you were always the one to be different. You could never be like your brother".  I'm so sick of her and my dad always judging me of how I live my life. That's why I moved out when I could.

"I don't want to be like him... ever think of that? I'm fine the way I am. Yes, I got myself into a sticky situation but I have to suck it up".

"Maybe if you weren't so wild this wouldn't have to happen to you. Just think about it. Look how you walk around this man's home. In booty shorts and a tank top".

"Umm news flash... I can't really fit any of my clothes at the moment. And I don't have time to shop  right now. And is Delano complaining? You know what? DeLANO!!!!" I yelled. He came in looking cautiously "what's up? You okay?".

"I'm fine, please tell this pest that you don't mine me dressing like this" he looked me up and down "Nope no complaints here plus she's pregnant. Let her be I can imagine it's uncomfortable as is".

"Thank you. Like I said no one cares" my mom didn't  like that Delano stuck up for me.

"What are your plans? Once this baby comes what's going to happen next?. You're only 24. And we'll Delano looks old enough".

"I don't know. And who cares. You don't have to have plans for your life to go smoothly. I usually go with the flow".

"And that's why your life has always been reckless. Then that's why you ended up pregnant for a man who feels obligated to be with you". That's it I had enough of her criticism.

"Mom nice seeing you but you can leave" she looked offended. I'm trying to not cry right now so she needs to leave.

"Well... Fine then. But don't come to the house looking for handouts!" She stormed out slamming the door. All I could do is plop myself on the couch and cry. That was the one person that can break me. She knows exactly how and what words to use.

Delano came out from the back to see if the coast was clear. He must've heard me sniffling he rushed to my side "what happened?". I didn't say anything I hate bothering people with my problems.

"Gia you can talk to me. Why are you crying?" He asked. He moved my hair from my face and stared.

"That woman just knows how to get to me. The things she says are just rude. I will never understand why they love my brother more than me".

"I don't think your parents love your brother more. Maybe it seems that way" Delano said.

"No they do. They told me numerous times before. He's he golden child who could do no wrong. But me... all I have to do is breath hard and it's the end of the world. I hated growing up in that house. Told myself if I ever had kids I would never favor one more than the other. That shit hurts". Wiping my eyes from the fallen tears.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. But I can promise you one thing this baby will feel so much love that it won't know what to do with it" he joked.

"Can I ask you something?" I looked up at him. He nodded "sure".

"You don't feel obligated to be with me because I'm pregnant, right?". He smiled "Gia I already told you I have actual feelings for you and this was before this all happened. With you being pregnant just makes me love you even more".

"Wait? Love? You love me?" I asked. He got closer to me "of course I do. You being here with me a dream come true".

Feeling stunned that he loves me. Looking up at him again he leaned in and kissed me. This time I didn't fight him. Maybe Bria was right.
