Pregnant

Chapter 8

It's been a couple of weeks since I moved in with Odell. Things have been hectic between being pregnant, Odell's practices and games, and me with school. I also have been helping Gabby with her job, she was successfully able to move back to New York and still do her job. Things were good, I've had them there to help me. I'm only 10 weeks pregnant and I still have yet to tell my parents that I am pregnant. The time has come though, that I have to tell them. My parents are having their 30th anniversary today, so I guess this is the perfect opportunity to let them know.

"Hey Ash, we need to go so that we aren't late" August said.

He was taking me to one of his sound test. I decided I should go, but I was going to drive separate, because I had to go to the library to study. I had a paper that was due in four days, and I wanted it to be perfect. I also had other homework to do, but I could start doing that at the recording studio.

"I'm coming August" I packed a few more things in my book bag and put it on my back. I then grabbed my phone off the charger and put it in my purse. I held onto my purse and left the room. I had on my white wedges, with light blue jeans and a white blouse. I had my hair pulled back into a bun and a white bow holding my bun in place. I was walking down the stairs when my cell phone began to ring. I continued to walk down the stairs, while I dug in my purse and pulled out my phone. I looked and saw Odell calling. I reached the bottom of the stairs and and slid the phone in my back pocket.

"Your not going to answer it" August asked?

"Nope" I simply said.

"Should I even ask" he questioned?

"Things haven't really been good here for me. Odell has been having parties daily, then he's been coming home late. At this point I'm about to sign a lease to my own apartment. I found a perfect two bedroom" I admitted.

"Have you talked to him about it"?

"Yes, the third night. Why do you think I spent half a week at your place". He looked at me for a moment. We walked out the door and he opened my car door for me. I took off my book bag and put it in the car, then I got in my car. August closed my door, then went in got in his red Rover. He drove and I followed. When we got to the studio, I sat on the couch and got my laptop out my bag. I opened it and started my paper. I would occasionally look up and chime in when August asked.

About and hour later I gather up my stuff and stood up to leave. Aug saw me and came out the recording room and came up to me. He carried my book bag and walked me out back to my car.

"Be careful okay" he told me.

"Always" I smiled. We hugged, then I got in the car and watched as he made his way back in. I drove to the library and parked in the closet spot. I got out and went in and took a table in the back far away from everyone else. I started studying and studied for about three hours. I finished my paper and got a lot of my homework done as well. It was around 3 pm and I needed to get to the realtor building to get my key and sign my lease. I got there around 3:20 pm and I got there just in time. I then called a moving company and thankfully they didn't close for another two hours. I gave them the address and they said they would meet me there. My parents party didn't start until 8 pm so I had plenty enough time to get things done.

At Odells house I managed to get everything out and back to the new place within those two hours. I needed to go shopping for furniture and kitchen wear. I had three hours left to spare. After the movers left, I locked up and went to IKEA to look. My phone started to ring as I entered the store.

"Hello" I answered.

"Hey what you up to" Gabby's voice came on the other end.

"Shopping for furniture and stuff like that. I just got my own apartment. Come to IKEA and we can talk" I told her.
