The Age Of Seventeen

Part 52

"Here." I place the bowl of soup before Smackle. It was just us two right now, Farkle was in the shower, Evie was still asleep.

"Thank you," Smackle replies weakly. I gave her a small smile. She begins to eat, and I sit next to her thinking of what's going to happen next. The thing is, nothing is for sure. I don't know what's going to happen with Lucas and Smackle, or this baby, or how my best friend will find out the news.

"I suggest you book a doctor's appointment. The baby needs vitamins and it can't grow properly without them," I speak to her calmly because I know she's overwhelmed right now. "Take things easy, okay?"
She doesn't say anything and finishes up the soup.

"Smackle, you are keeping this baby...right?" I ask because of her behavior. She's gone from crying to hostile in less than a minute.

"I don't know, Maya." She speaks lowly. "I can't have a baby right now. I'm going to college, getting an internship, and there's other stuff I'd like to do. I don't want to be a dead beat mom and leave all my opportunities. Everything I worked so hard for can't go down the drain," She explained, and I was shocked to hear her putting all of this stuff first before her baby. But I guess it's pretty normal to not want nothing to do with a baby when you're a messed up teenager..

"Right now it's not the time to make a decision this big. Wait it out. Promise me you won't harm this baby. It's the least you could do since I'm going to help you and support you." I hold up my pinky and she sighs and laces her own with mine. I smile triumphantly.

"I should get going, Maya. Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it." She smiles sadly and I give her a hug. "And...if you don't mind come with me to the hospital?"

"Sure," I nod. "Let me know when and I'll be there."

Evie woke up minutes after Smackle had left. I smiled happily and walked over to her room, I just couldn't wait to see her and hold her.

"Hi, baby! Look, mommy's home!" I exclaim happily as I pick her up. She smiles when she sees me and lifts her arms up. I kiss her chubby cheeks and hold her tight to me, feeling complete again. I take a seat at the rocking chair and place a bib on her to begin feeding her. She held my thumb as she breastfed, and it wasn't soon before Farkle came in.

"Oh, Gosh!" He quickly turned when he saw my exposed breast. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay, no worries....it's not like ...you know....haven't seen worst." I speak and remember when I used to tell him that all the time when I was pregnant. He nods and takes a seat on the pale yellow rug on the floor.

"Smackle left, huh?" Farkle asks and I nod as I look down at Evie. God, she looks just like him. "Good, I thought I wouldn't get you alone."

"You still haven't," I laugh and point down to our daughter.

"I will soon, you do your mommy magic and I'll wait." He said as he laid down and waited.

Everly fell asleep as she fed and I set her back down on her favorite sleeping position- belly down. I admired how beautiful and peaceful she looked.

"Goodnight, Evie." I whispered as I ran my hands through her brunette hair. "We love you, baby girl."

Farkle kisses her head and we tucked her in before shutting off the lights.

"I'm glad you're back." Farkle told me as I unpacked my bag from Philadelphia, well more like throwing everything in a hamper.

"I'm glad to be back," I comment, giving him a small smile. He was already looking at me.

"Did something happen with Josh?" He asked curiously.

"Not much...except that I told him that I loved you." I spoke casually. When he didn't say anything I looked up to see him standing before me. He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.

"I've been waiting to hear that since the day he re-entered your life," Farkle told me. I was blushing from his closeness as our eyes locked.

"What happens now?" I questioned.

"I don't want to be just friends, or co-parents. I love you, and I want to be ...together." His frío on my waist tightened a bit and his lips got closer to mine. "Starting now, I don't ever want to lose you again. Going to London and being away from you made me realize just how much I need you. Having Josh here made me see how easily I could lose you if I messed up, and I don't want that. I want us to be together forever. I want a home with you, and our daughter."

"How do I know you're speaking the truth?" I ask. I'm not sure if I can buy what he's saying just because we're having a 'moment'. I have a daughter to think about first.

When he says nothing I knew the answer. I grab my pijamas and head to the bathroom to shower. As I showered I couldn't help but think of how stupid I had been for saying all of those things only to be let down. Why does he always do this? We get close, and things are starting to look up, then he runs over any possibility of us being together.

I'm seriously considering if I should be here at all. Why did I think things would be all good if I turned down Josh?

I groaned as I situated myself on the couch. I didn't feel comfortable sharing a bed with Farkle, and so I refused to sleep on the bed. I couldn't sleep from all the emotions inside of me right now. I wanted to go to him and kiss him and work it all out but another part of me wanted to feel like I don't need him if he clearly can't show me he's changed and that this time will be different.

I was constantly battling with my emotions for some time up until I shot up and thought about something...
