*Peyton*

We all sat around the living room,waiting on this "good news" Bonita and Diggy had to tell us. I pulled Shad into my lap,sitting by Ray. After everyone was here,Bonita smiled big.

"Okay,so a few weeks back,we found out something. And we went to the doctor to confirm it. But I'm pregnant!" She cheered,jumping. Diggy smiled big.

"Awww!!" We all stood up,giving them hugs.

"Congrats!!" I said,hugging them both.

"Thanks!"

"Woah! Are you serious? I'm pregnant too!" We all heard Zendaya say. Everyone paused,looking at her.

She smiled,looking around. "Surprise!"

"You're what?!" Chres asked her,and she gave him an innocent smile.

"I'm pregnant." She said.

"And you didn't tell me?! When did this happen? What?!" He asked,confused.

"I visited the doctor last wednesday."

"Daya,why didn't you tell me?" He asked,his eyes wide.

"Because I'm the pregnant one?" She said.

I frowned a bit. "So,you were pregnant,and you didn't think to tell the other parent?" Amaya said.

"I didn't think it was necessary.." She said.

"What the fuck?" Ray mumbled,and I shoved him.

"Congratulations,Zendaya and Chresanto!" I said,in a confused but cheery tone. Chres looked at me,then at Zendaya,then stormed out of the room.

She ran after him,leaving us all in silence.

"What just happened?" Craig asked,and we all shrugged.

"Okay,so who wants to go out for pizza? It's all on me!" Diggy asked,and we all cheered,then went out to the cars.

------------

After everyone finished their pizza,I took Shad to play some of the games they had for kids.

He cheered,jumping up and down when he saw the huge play house they had built on the inside. It had various loops and turns,and a slide that went into a ball pit. He took off his shoes,giving them to me,then ran off into it with some other kids.

I felt someone wrap their arms around me,and I turned around to see Ray,smiling.

"He's so full of energy." He said,smiling.

"Well,he is a four year old." I said,chuckling.

"Dont get smart with me." He said,playfully pushing me.

"Or what? You gon arrest me or some shit?" I asked,laughing. He smiled.

"You wearing that ring on your finger like you proud of it." He said,making a face.

"Cause I am! I'm getting married to the most handsome man in the world." I said,smiling.

He squinted his eyes. "Is you serious?"

"Well,duh. Chris Brown is just so dreamy,and when he saw me,he just had to put a ring on it!" I said,smiling.

Ray gave me a blank stare,and I laughed,pecking his cheek. "You know I love you."

He pecked my lips. "I am so lucky."

"Well can you at least talk to me please?" We heard Amaya's voice behind us and we turned to see her walking behind Jacob.

He looked somewhat annoyed,and she looked desperate.

"Can you leave me alone?" He shot back,frowning behind his shades.

"Excuse me." He said,brushing past us without looking up from the floor. Amaya picked up her speed,and paused in front of us,a sad look in her eyes.

She brushed past us,but had already lost Jacob in the crowd.

I grabbed her shoulder. "Hey,is everything okay?"

She turned and looked at me,on the verge of tears. She quickly sighed,blinking a couple times before quickly nodding and walking off.

"What was that about?" Ray asked,and I looked after Amaya,concerned.

"I have no idea."

*Chresanto*

I sat on the bed,my head in my hands,calming myself down.

"Imean,I just didn't know that the first thing to do was tell you about it. I just thought you'd catch on when my stomach starts getting big. Oh,by the way,what stores do pregnant women shop in? Are their clothes even cute? Oh my goodness,I'm not gonna be able to wear heels anymore because my feet are gonna be swollen."

"Can you stop talking about yourself for a moment,please?! You're pregnant,and the only thing on your mind is what clothes you should wear?!" I screamed,making her look at me weird.

She shrugged a bit,still pacing back and forth with a happy smirk on her face.

I never planned to take this relationship this far with Daya,which is why im taking this so hard. If she's pregnant,im stuck with her. Thats it.

Of course I wasn't planning on marrying her,at all. None of this was planned. She was just supposed to be my girl for a couple months until I got tired of her. Although that happened a long time ago. How did I get myself into this?!

I groaned,laying back on the bed.

I felt her sit beside me. "Are you mad at me?" She asked in an innocent voice.

"No. More like mad at myself. For getting into this situation."

She looked at me a while,then looked down at her stomach.

"Are you saying you dont want it?" She asked,her voice cracking. I quickly sat up.

"No no no. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying this was so sudden,and I wasn't ready for all of this. This means were gonna have to get serious with each other,get married,and so on. I'm not abandoning you because my baby is in there. But I just need time to get my thoughts together."

She looked at me,nodding her head like she understood.

I hesitated. "How many weeks are you?"

"It'll be four on friday." She said,smiling.

I nodded.

"So do you need anything? Like pills or a certain food? What are you craving?"

"Chill. I'm not craving anything at the moment."

I nodded,sighing. She turned to me,grabbing my hand.

"It's going to be okay. We're going to raise this baby and we're going to be a happy family." She said,her smile wide.

I nodded.

"Now,I need some money. I need to go shopping at the Maternity store! I hope they have crop tops because I really need a new one and if they dont I am going to go crazy."

"Uh,I don't think they-"

"Just shut up and give me money." She snapped. I rolled my eyes and gave her a hundred dollars,and she smiled,pecking my lips,and walked out of the room.

I groaned once again,slamming my head into a pillow.

What did I get myself into?
