My Best Friend's A Boy

Chapter 30. Merry Christmas.

Aiden's POV

I hear my phone ringing, I look up at the clock and it's 5 A.M. I grab my phone off the night stand and look at it, it's Andy.

"Hello?" I answer in a hoarse voice.

"Aiden." She mumbles through the phone.

"It's 5 in the morning Andy something wrong?" I ask her. "Cause if not I'm going back to bed." I grumble.

"I need you to come over." She whispers.

"Really?" I ask tiredly.

"Yes." She says.

"Important?" I ask her.

"Very." She says.

"Your dad up yet?" I ask her.

"He went over to my uncle's I told him I wanted to stay home, that I wasn't feeling good." She whispers.

"Are you not feeling good?" I ask confused.

"Just get your ass out of bed and over here." She says irritated.

"Fine, fine I'm coming." I say throwing the blanket off of me."This better be good Andy." I grumble.

She laughs but there is no humor behind it, which is bad. "Oh it's not, it's bad." She grumbles and hangs up.

She hung up on me...

I quickly get dressed and go downstairs throwing my boots on.

She better have some coffee.

I grab my keys and go out to my truck and quickly back down the driveway.

I pull into her driveway shutting the truck off and quickly walking up to the door.

She opens it for me and hands me a cup of coffee, that's my girl.

I chuckle. "Thanks." 

She nods and turns around and goes to sit down.

"What is it?" I ask her confused leaning against the door frame sipping my coffee.

"I think you should sit down." She whispers.

I sigh heavily and trudge over sitting at the table.

"I'm sitting." I grumble tired, confused and irritated.

I take another sip of my coffee trying to figure out her face expression, but she has her poker face on which isn't good.

"God damn it Andy spit it out I'm not in the mood to play the guessing game you woke me at 5 in the fucking mor-" She cuts me off.

"I missed my period." She says.

My jaw drops and I can't remember how to close it.

"W-what?" I stutter.

"I missed my period." She says. "It comes exactly every thirty days I should have had it by December 2nd, it's Christmas." 

I am not the kind of guy who get's speechless, really I'm not I got a comment for everything. I got nothing to say I'm trying to rack my brain.

"That doesn't mean anything." I whisper running a hand through my hair. "Maybe it's your birth control messing with it." I say.

"I've been on birth control for a while Aiden why would it all the sudden affect it now?" She asks.

Good point.

"Did you take a test?" I ask her quietly, honestly afraid of the answer.

"No." She says. "You are gonna go buy me one now." She adds.

"W-what? Me? No..." I whisper.

"Yes you." She grumbles. "It's just as much your fault as mine." 

I sigh she has me there.

I stand up and slam the coffee left in the cup.

"Okay, I'll be back." I whisper.

I head out the door and get into my truck.

I go down to the store and grab a pregnancy test. 

Thankfully I don't know the cashier.

I walk out with it and get back into my truck.

I head out of town back to Andy's, scared out of my mind.

I'm trying to picture it and I can't.

I told Andy I'd love to be a dad just not yet.

We used a condom the first time, but when she told me she was on birth control it didn't matter nearly as much.

Now Amy and Lindsey tried that shit with me and I still wore one, but there is a big difference between them and Andy.

Andy told me she made Tyler wear one too.

It's weird how much more careful you are with other people when you know you don't love them.

How much more reckless you are with the person you are in love with.

I go into the house and Andy isn't downstairs, I go upstairs and into her bedroom.

I hand her the test and she looks up at me worriedly.

She sighs and takes it to her bathroom I lay down on her bed throwing a pillow over my face.

She's in there for a couple minutes and comes back out.

I lift the pillow just enough to say "So?" 

"I don't know yet takes a few minutes." She whispers.

I give her a thumbs up.

She doesn't come over to the bed like I expect her too.

I move the pillow and look at her, she's pressed up against the door with her head down.

I get off the bed and walk over to her I lift her chin to look at me.

She's crying, I feel like I got hit in the stomach as I look into her eyes and see the pain and worry in them.

"Andy, don't cry." I whisper.

"Why not?" She mumbles. "If it's positive you are gonna hate me my dad and Lori will hate me people will make fun of me and our futures are straight down the toilet." She cries.

I pull her into my chest. "I could never hate you Andy. Craig and my mom will be fine, they may be upset at first but just out of worry. And seriously fuck other people I'd beat there ass." I tell her.

She laughs and shakes her head.

"I am sorry about the future part though, you should of been going to UCLA now doesn't look like that is gonna happen and I know it's my fault." I whisper.

She shakes her head. "I didn't mean-" I cut her off.

"I know it isn't what you meant, it's the truth though." I tell her.

"No-" She argues.

"Go check it." I interrupt her.

"You do it." She whispers nervous.

I sigh heavily and then open the door.

I pick it up without really looking at it.

I take a deep breath and look down at it.

It's positive.

I stand there in shock.

"Aiden?" She asks.

"Merry Christmas, it's a baby." I tell her not facing her.

"Really?" She asks.

I turn around and nod handing her the test.

She puts her hand over her mouth and start's crying she slowly slides down the wall til her butt is on the floor.

I sit beside her and pull her into my lap.

She buries her head into the crook of my neck.

I rub her back soothingly. "It'll be okay Andy." I whisper.
