Chapter 34:Transfer

Candy

I haven't said anything since what happened last night I didn't know how to feel a part of me really didn't care and a part of me deep down did care. But I didn't know how to explain it.

It was hard to sleep so I went downstairs and to get something to drink. Making sure I carefully got out of the bed I didn't want to walk up Tristan.

I grabbed my phone and turned on my flashlight and grabbed a black t-shirt and slipped on some red sweatpants and headed down the stairs.

As I walked past Damion's room I still made sure to be quiet I didn't want him to wake up either I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts. I made it down the stairs and into the kitchen turned on the light and went into the fridge My eyes went straight to the beer but I know you cant drink when your pregnant so I grabbed the jug of Orange juice and got a glass from the cabinet.

I poured myself a glass while I looked at the dark night with a spot of bright yellow light in the backyard from the porchlight. I could hear the sound of trains passing by from the railroad not too far from here. I stood there drinking from glass it went down smooth like water.

(Tristan pov)

I turned over to see Candy wasn't in bed since last night I knew what happened bothered her even though she didn't say anything the whole ride home.

Then she took a shower and went to bed. I layed in bed with her even though I knew she didn't want to talk I knew she wanted to be close to me. I got up out of bed and slipped on some sweatpants and went downstairs I saw the kitchen light was on but she wasn't in the kitchen I saw a glass in the sink I started walking around the house looking for her.

I don't know why but I was hoping she didn't disappear in the night again like she did months ago. After I checked the garage I walked back into the house and ended up walking by the guest bathroom the light was on and I heard the slight buzz of the bathroom fan.

As I stood closer to the door I heard faint sniffling and what sounded like sobbing.

I knocked on the door.

"Baby are you ok?" I said.

All I heard was the toilet flush and Candy then emerged from the bathroom her eyes were red and puffy and I noticed her nose was kinda red.

"I'm fine I was just feeling sick to my stomach." she said rubbing her eyes.

She was clearly in the bathroom crying.

"Why are you up don't you go in early tomorrow?"

I shook my head.

"I'll be alright I'm used to being up late." I told her.

"You should get some rest I'll be fine." she said.

"I'll be able to rest if you come back to bed with me." I said as I kissed her forehead.

"Ok, she said in a soft voice.

Then we made our way back upstairs and back into the bedroom.

(Damion pov)

"We are not sending him to Kansas to live with your uncle!" I told Trina.

"Well what else are we suppose to do he gets bullied out of the last school he went to then He just got kicked out of school for being a bully and skipping class!" Trina explained.

DJ was standing by our bedroom door.

"Mom dad please don't send me to Kansas." he pleaded.

We looked at him.

"DJ go get dressed just because you got kicked out of school that doesn't mean you're going to chilling here all day."

As soon as she said that DJ said nothing as he muttered something under his breath and walked off into the hall.

"What are we going to do with him, I've looked at other schools only options we have is catholic school or military school."

I gave her a look of disapproval.

"I don't those would be good for him either." I said.

Then I got an idea.

"What about homeschool then we can watch him and make sure he is doing his school work."

Trina made a face.

"Who is going to do it? my hours at the shop are crazy and you don't know anything about school."

she said trying to be funny.

"Whatever I know someone who could maybe help us."
I explained.

(Candy pov)

I was sitting on the bed getting ready for work I was trying to get my shoes on but my belly was blocking me.

"Let me help you with that." Tristan said as he helped me slip my shoes on.

"Thanks, I said with a smile on my face.

Tristan stood up.

"Are you sure its still a good idea to still be working?" he asked.

"Baby I will be fine the doctor said its still safe to work."

"I know babe I was there but I just want to extra careful this time." he looked me in my eyes.

After I found out I was pregnant I switched from full time to part-time.

"I'll start working on my maternity leave." I told him.

He was just smiling at me.

"What."
I said smiling back.

"You."
he said.

"What about... Before I could finish Tristan pressed his face against mine and we started kissing.

Then I heard the doorbell ring.

"Let's go see who that is."
I said.

Tristan had a disappointed look on his face.

We went downstairs and I answered the door.

It was Damion and DJ.

"Hey, I said as they walked in.

"Can I ask you something?"

Damion asked as he followed me into the kitchen and DJ sat on the couch he didn't know what to do without his phone and headphones.

"Whats going on?" I asked.

He sighed.

"DJ got kicked out of school and the only option he has is homeschooling and since you were smart in high school graduated with honors and always making straight A's I wanted to ask if you could homeschool him."

I was surprised that I didn't know what to say.

"I got to go to work today but let me think about it," I told him.
