Our Wonderful Mistakes

Chapter 8 (Edited)

Alex's POV:

When Brooklynn told me she was pregnant I froze. I'm going to be a daddy before I graduate highschool! I was 100% happy that it was me who got her pregnant first and that she's gonna be the mother of my baby. When I seen her cry when she walked in, I knew something was wrong. It broke me inside. After it kinda started registering this, I gently put our lips together. It felt just like it did when we first kissed when we were 15. There was so much love and passion into it. I felt sparks go off just like everytime I see her, touch her, or just kiss her. We pulled away and went out to the living room to find Beth and Michael kissing. While the girls went and cooked dinner Michael and I watched Football. But I couldn't concentrate on the game. My mind just wandered to the baby and Brooklynn and how we were gonna make this work and what our future holds for us. I wonder if it's going to be a girl or boy. I've always wanted a boy but as long as the baby is happy and healthy I don't care. I'm going to love it with every fiber in me and I'll never stop. She should be due in February since she's already five months along and it's mid October. How we were we going to support the baby? Neither of us have jobs..is she going to stay in school? We graduate in like 7 months. Our baby will be almost or 3 months old when we do. Wow. I'm a dad.

Beth came in to get us, breaking me from my thoughts. We got up and went in there and ate. We talked about the baby. Come to find out Beth is pregnant too! We watch tv until Brooklynn decides to go to bed. I go up with her and we lay down and fall asleep.

-Next morning-

I woke up to Brooklynn jumping out of bed and dodging for the bathroom. I walked in there and held her hair and rubbed her back, while she threw everything she ate up. After about 10 minutes of doing that she got up and cleaned her mouth and brushed her teeth. It was a Saturday so we didn't have school. We laid back in bed.

"What are we gonna do?" She suddenly asked me. I looked down at her.

"I don't know. Are you going to stay in school?"

"Well of course. We graduate in 7 months. I'm not dropping out."

"Okay. How are we going to support the baby?"

"I guess we'll have to get jobs..." she trailed off.

"I will until we graduate and get everything figured out and the baby is older then you can get a job if that sounds okay?" I suggested.

"Sounds good. What about our parents?" She asked me.

"Um. My parents will probably be really disappointed but supportive. How do you think yours will react?"

"My dad. He'll disown me. My mom. Disappointed and then somewhat supportive. But all in all they probably won't care"

"Where will we live?" I asked.

"I guess. Here. I mean. We have an extra bedroom. It's big enough. Spacey enough. It's just right for me." She said, yawning.

"Okay."

Her phone went off. She grabbed it and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"...."

"Um. Okay."

"..."

"When?"

"...."

"Now?!"

".."

"Okay. Yeah. We'll be there. Give us 20 minutes?"

"...."

"Okay. Bye." Then she hung up.

"Who was that?" I asked her, puzzled.

"I'll explain in the truck. But we need to go. Now." She got up and put on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt with a hoodie. quickly brushed her hair, throwing it up in a messy bun. I got up and put on a different shirt and a hoodie then slipped my cowboy boots on and we left.

"So whats going on?"

"My..brother. He's at the airport."

"Brother? You don't have a brother.." I said, confused.

"That's what I thought..But I guess I do."

"Wow."

"Just um. Get to the airport."

"Okay." And the rest of the ride was spent in silence.
