College mom-to-be

Chapter 8

*Hey guys. It's been a while, sorry. A lot of stuff popped up so I haven't been able to write for a while. Love you guys and thanks for reading my story...... and being patient with me haha.*

I hate mornings like this. You know the ones where you're waking up with vomit rushing up your throat. I think this morning sickness will be the death of me. Now I'm really hungry. Does that even make sense? Why would I want to eat after I just saw puke? This pregnancy stuff doesn't make sense to me one bit.... When I walk out I see two bodies in the same spot as they were last night. I walk around the couch and see that they have fallen asleep kind of propped up against each other. I've got to say, the sight was pretty cute. I grab my phone and do what any bestfriend would do. I take a picture of them. I mean I would want someone to take a picture of me and my non-existent boyfriend too. I make my way over to the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of cornflakes and sit down on one of the bar stools next to the counter. About 10 minutes later and stumbles in Kate opening up the fridge and pulling out the apple juice. When she turns around she lets out a loud squeal and spills the juice all over herself making me jerk away from my bowl of cereal splashing milk onto the counter.

"What the hell??!?!? You scared the shit out of me!" She yelled.

Then in runs Adam with a lamp in his hand sliding around the floor because his socks are causing him to slip resulting with him landing on his ass. Kate and I look at him then each other and start bursting with laughter while Adam just lays there with a petrified look.

"What. Is going.on?" He breathes out.

Kate and I couldn't get a word out. Then Adam joins the laughter. A few minutes later we settle down still laughing a little bit but more on the inside than what we were doing before.

"I'm gonna take a shower, now that I have apple juice all over me." She laughs again and walks out to her room. Which leaves Adam and I alone.

"Look Lindsey.... I'm sorry how I reacted yesterday. I didn't mean it I'm sorry. It's just... your my baby sister. Even if you were married I wouldn't like it. But the fact that you're not even dating the guy made me upset..." My family is the type of old school people who don't like sex before marriage and things along those lines, so I understand what's going on through his mind. It's gone through my mind before too.

"I know where you're coming from Adam... I'm sorry."

"There's no reason to apologize to me...... So um, what are you up to today?" he asked.

"Oh nothing. Probably just going to sit around here. I've gotta call the doctors thought to schedule an appointment. I might go to Conners though and tell him, ya know."

"Conner is the father I'm guessing."

"Yeah..."

"So Conners the one I'll be killing..." he laughs.

"Ha. Ha. You will do no such thing. When my baby grows up I am not gonna explain to him or her that uncle Adam is in jail because he killed daddy."

All of a sudden he gets this big grin on his face, "Uncle Adam.... I'm gonna be an uncle!!" Well dang that was a mood changer wasn't it.

I laugh at him and grab my phone to call the doctors and walk down the hall to my room. I dial the number and it rings 3 times before a lady answers, "Hello, Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group. My name is Holly how can I help you?"

"Hi I'd like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dana Chortkoff. I'm 2 weeks and 2 days pregnant.." That still feels weird coming out of my mouth...

She takes a couple seconds before she says, "Okay so she can fit you in on your exact 8 week mark on October 24. How does that sound?"

"Perfect, thanks."

"No problem. Make sure to be taking prenatal vitamins. What is your name, number, and birthday?"

"Lindsay Rose Taylor, 555-1399, and December 28, 1994."

"Okay. You're all set. Have a good day."

I say the same and hang up. I probably should go to Conners now even though I really dont want to. I pull on some white shorts and a flowy red tank top. I grab my purse and phone and tell Kate and Adam where I'm going then head down to my truck. 10 minutes later and I'm pulling into the fraternity house where he stays. As soon as I get to the door Brayden opens it not even giving me a chance to ring. Shit I forgot he lived here too.

"Hey Lindsey! What are you doing here?" he asked excitedly.

"Hey, is Conner here? I kinda have to talk to him..."

His face drops and he nods and leads me to his room upstairs then leaves. I knock on the door and hear a faint 'come in' from the other side of the door. I let out a breath I didn't know was getting held in and walk through the door. Conner has his back faced to me and he looks like he's looking for something but turns around and grows a smile when he sees me.

"Hey lindsey! What's up?"

"Hey I kinda wanted to talk to you about something..."

"Alright make yourself comfortable. You don't have to stand there." he laughs. But to be honest, I'd rather stand here, so when I tell him he doesn't have time to react because I'll already be out the door. But not wanting to be rude, I sit down anyways.

"So remember the party right before school started? And uh, what happened then?" He has a confused look on his face but nods knowing what we're talking about. I didn't want to come out and just say it so maybe I'll just hint at it.

"Were we careful?"

"I can't remember why?"

"I think I'm uhh..." I trail off and he figures it out then. He stands up in fury.

"No you're not." He says in full denial.

I look away but say yes. He sits back down and puts his hands on his hands. I move closer to him and I'm about to put my hand on his to comfort him until he starts yelling at me.

"NO! You whore. I can't even remember having sex with you so we probably didn't. That's not my baby. GETOUT!"

I run to my car and start balling in the drivers seat. I can't believe I thought he'd react different. I thought he'd be more nice than that, but no. He's just like all the stupid other jocks at this dumb school. I pull out of the driveway and speed down the road passing a couple red lights all the way home. I pull into the building parking lot and walk up to my apartment. I open the door and ignore the faces I'm getting from Adam and Kate and speed walk to my room. I fall onto my bed and start crying again. I ignore the frequent knocking on my bedroom door. I ignore all the phone calls and texts through the night. I don't care about anyone or anything. All I want for my baby is two parents who accept him or her and I only got half of what I wanted.
