Because of John |chapter 10|

HI GUYSSS!! NEW CHAPTER!! theres only a few of you actually reading this but i am thankful you are. please share my story and VOTE!! i love y'all so much

Everyone stood in silence not knowing what to say.
"wait what? i-im a little confused can someone please explain to me whats going on?" Riley said
"when i was at boot camp, charlotte found out that she was pregnant and when i got back last month i met her at the airport and we've been in touch since then. i wanted to tell everyone as soon as i knew but with blake and her pregnancy then mom getting sick plus i was just scared of what everyone was going to say."
"so you had a daughter and knew about it for this long and didn't even tell me?!" riley roared
"look riles, i didn't want to tell you and then you be mad at me i was lost and didn't know what to do."
"save it man." riley said through clenched teeth walking out of the house avalon hot on his heals.
"do you have anything to say for yourself Charlotte? were you even gonna tell me? what was your plan? show up one day after 5 years and be like oh by the way heres my daughter i hid from you. i can't believe you. we were close, or at least i thought." john said leaving the room and walking outside.
"john wait" i said running after him.

Evan's P.O.V

Great. just great. that went so well. exactly what i thought would happen. as char, val and i stood there in silence mom finally spoke.

"im so proud of you for coming back and being in this little girls life, my name is Chrissy but you can call me grandma." she said to Valerie
"hi" val said in a small voice
"how have you been Charlotte?"
"ive been great, how about you mrs. allen?"
"oh, call me chris, and im doing just fine. i just met my grandbaby!" she smiled
"im gonna go find riley." i said
"i should go find john. do you mind watching her for a few?" char asked mom
"oh please, not at all." she chuckled

i walked down to the basement knowing thats where Riley would be, thats where he always goes when he's pissed. as i reach the bottom of the stairs, i hear him speaking to avalon.
"how could he not tell me Charlotte got pregnant and had HIS baby? how?! we're supposed to be close. we tell each other everything!" he whined
"i don't know baby."
"can i talk with riley for a minute?"
"yeah sure." she said softly walking back up the stairs
"what do you want evan?"
"are we really gonna sit here and be mad over this? we're adults riley. i mean come on. at least i came back and im here now. im taking responsibility. im doing my best man. i don't expect you to have known what to do if you were in that position."
"but we tell each other everything evan. everything. and after all we've been through over the years, you'd think you'd be able to tell me anything but i guess not."
"im not gonna try to reason with you. i did what i did. what's done is done. i can't help the past. but what i can do is be there for my daughter and Charlotte and be the best father that girl has ever had."
"you're right, im sorry i blew up on you, i don't blame you for not telling anyone, i wouldn't have either." riley said
"we good?" i asked
"hug me brotha" riley said, imitating drake & josh. then riley and i played a game of pool while sipping on a beer.

Blakes P O.V

"john wait!" i said running behind him. he stopped when he got outside to his car. i grabbed my hands and pulled them to my chest as the cold november breeze blew excruciating snowflakes at my bare face.
"how could she?! we've always been so close, blake how could she not tell me she was pregnant? as soon as i found out you were pregnant i called and asked her what i needed to do. thats why she just up and left to nashville. not to persue her career in singing but to hide her pregnancy and her kid."
"its not her fault blake. she was young and scared and single. you can't blame her."
"actually i can blame her because she is a mother now. she should've came to me, to mom and dad. we could've helped with the expenses of a newborn and she knew that!"
"yes i did, but i also wanted my little girl to grow up in a stress free environment."
"she would have had a stress free environment had you just told us you were pregnant in the first place! everyrhing would have been just fine Charlie, you know that!" john yelled
"theres nothing i can do about it now. i was young, scared and on my own. evan was in the middle east and i wanted to do this on my own. I'd relied on mom and dad enough. i figured this was the least i could do."
"right. & keeping us from that little girl from us was what you thought not relying on your parents meant?"
"john, just calm down. okay she's here now and you know about valerie." i said
"but blake! i- you know what you're right. im sorry Charlotte."
"im sorry i didn't tell you. i thought i was doing you a favor."
"its fine, lets go eat some thanksgiving dinner!" john said giving Charlotte a hug

walking back inside, i walked up to Evan asking him how things had went with Riley and to my surprise he forgave him. Our family may not be perfect, but we all love each other very much.

"so how far along are you, Blake?" charlotte asked
"ill be 16 weeks December 5th and we should be able to find out the gender around the 18th." i replied excitedly
"well congratulations! do you want a boy or a girl?"
"honestly either is fine with me."
"what about you john?" she asked
"i want a girl." he smiled softly. Looking at him smiling like that made my heart melt. he grabbed my hand under the table and gave it a slight squeeze.
"so val, what are you asking santa for for christmas?" Riley asked
"a pony!"
"ohh wow! mom and dad are gonna love that arent they?" riley joked winking at evan
"i don't think santa can carry a pony in his big bag of toys, maybe you can get a doll house or something." charlie said
"no mommy! i want a pony" she whined. this is the one part of parenthood i was not looking forward to.

Later that night as mom and riley cleaned up the kitchen, john carried me up to bed since i had fallen asleep on the couch. i was completely exhausted. as he laid me down and crawled into bed beside me, he wrapped his strong arms around my tired body and kissed me on my head.
"goodnight, blake. i love you so much." he whispered and we both fell into a deep peaceful sleep.

i was awoken Friday morning to the front door being slammed shut and bile threatening to come up before i could make it to the bathroom. i made a run for the toilet, but failing and only making it to the sink. morning sickness is still very prevalent and i hate it. its the worst thing about pregnancy besides the cramping. i rinse the sink out and wipe my mouth then walk down stairs to see who was slamming my front door at 6am.

The closer i got to the bottom of the staircase, the better i could hear mom yelling. who in the world could that be so early? i wondered to myself but when i reached the bottom of the stairs, i saw a familiar face that i hadn't spoken to in quite some time. i stood there baffled at the figure arguining with mom and when i opened my mouth to speak all i could manage to say was..

"Lillian..?"
