Too Young

Chapter 7: Not giving up

Out of everything that could've come out of his mouth, everything he said wasn't one that crossed my mind.

"Are you actually serious about this?" I ask gaping at him.

"Maya" he sigh "I'm not going to let you give up a baby because we we're irresponsible" he says but I shake my head "I wasn't even if you wanted me to" I admit making him nod.

"And I'm not going to let you raise our baby alone" he says making my heart flutter.

"I have a question though" he says rubbing my back comfortably, "When did you find out about this?"

"4 days ago" I reply making him let out a breath of relief

"I thought you hid this from me longer" he admits making me shake my head, "I was scared to tell you but I couldn't go more days without telling you" I assure him.

"Oh and Topanga made me tell you today or she said she was going to tell you herself" I add making him chuckle.

"Sounds like Topanga" he says making me smile.

"So" I look up at him, he smiles and leans down placing his lips on mine in a soft kiss.

"You're sleeping over right?" I nod and he smiles.

"Let's get you into bed" he says caressing my cheek, "It looks like you haven't slept properly in a while" I nod and stand up.

"I'll quickly go see Topanga" he says standing up and running his fingers through his hair.

"I'll meet you in my room?" He asks and I nod before watching him walk out of the room.

I walk into Riley's closet and go to the small corner where I leave some of my clothes. I grab a pair of sweatpants and walk to the guest room. Also known as Josh's room when he stays over.

I open his closet and steal one of his shirts before walking into the bathroom and changing.

I climb into bed and send a quick goodnight message to my mom making sure she kisses Everleigh goodnight for me.

I hear the door open making me look up to see Josh walking into the room. "I'm going to take a quick shower and I'll join you" All I do is nod and watch him go to the closet to retrieve some clothes.

I am still in shock by what happened a few minutes ago and I swear that if I fall asleep, when I'll wake up, this will all be a dream and I'll still be in hidding in my room, trying to deal with being sick.

I take a deep breath and decide to scroll through instagram whilst waiting for Josh. I like a few pictures but as soon as I stumble upon a picture of food, my stomach turns and I rush out of bed and into the bathroom.

Luckily Josh left the door open and I tumble over the bathroom losing my dinner. "Whoa" Josh says taking a step back from the sink where he was brushing his teeth.

"Sorry" I breath out collapsing on the floor before letting tears fall. "Sweetheart" Josh sighs kneeling down, "It's okay" he assures me pulling me into his arms.

"I can't deal with throwing up once more" I cry, clutching onto his shirt.

"I'm sure it'll pass" He assure me wiping my tears. "Now come on, let's get you into bed" he stands up and helps me up.

"You can use my toothbrush, I'll get you some water" he says before kissing my cheek and walking out of the room.

I smile as my eyes follow him out. I take a deep breath and quickly brush my teeth before splashing my face with some water. I wipe my face with a towel and walk back into the room as Josh walks in.

"Here" he smiles handing me a cup of water. I take it from his hand and take a sip before walking over to the bed.

I place the cup on the nightsand before climbing into bed with Josh. Once I'm under the covers he pulls me close to him and kisses the top of my head.

"We have to tell my parents tomorrow" I whisper making him sigh.

"Yeah, Topanga told me" he admits gently running his fingers through my hair.

"They're going to make me give up the baby" I admit looking up at him with tears.

"No" he shakes his head "They won't, I won't let them anyways" he assures me.

"This morning Everleigh was snuggled up to me and I started thinking" I start playing with Josh's fingers.

"I thought about how her mom gave up on her and I wonder how she could've just done that. I never want to do that" I shake my head "I know it's not a great time to have a baby and I'm only sixteen but" I trail off taking a deep breath "Never would I give up on my baby".

"Good" Josh smiles "That just shows how great of a mother you're going to be".

"You didn't run off so you're going to be a great father" I admit but instead of seeing him smile he sigh and shakes his head.

"I'm scared" he admits "I'm scared that I won't be able to be a good father" he start tearing up and my heart breaks.

"Josh" I cup his face and shake my head, "That's nonsense" I insist.

"If you stay in our lives and care for us, even if in the future we don't end up together, you'll still be an amazing dad" I assure him.
"We will end up together, I'm not leaving you, not now, not ever" he insist making my heart skip a beat.

"Good" I smile before his lips land on mine in a soft, passionate kiss.

Even though I am beyond scared for tomorrow I had Josh with me and that's all I really need. One thing is for sure, Josh and I are keeping our baby and no one could do anything about our decision on keeping it. At least our baby will have a mother and a father who'll love him or her forever.
