Too Young

Chapter 25: New Year & Apologising

There's half an hour left to go before we ring in the New Year but something is bothering Maya, and when something is bothering her it's also bothering me. "Maya please tell me what's wrong?" I beg glancing down at her, she looks up at me, her ocean blue eyes meeting mine. She shake her head softly "I don't really want to talk about" she says softly making me sigh. "Sweetheart do you really want to start the new year with something bothering you?" I ask lifting my hand to caress her cheek, "Talk to me baby" I plead "I want to be here for you" I add making her smile slightly.

"It's just the guys" she admits with a sigh, looking down, taking my hand in hers, intertwining our fingers. "What's with them?" I question glancing at Lucas who's talking to Zay and Farkle as Riley and Smackle gush about something on their phones. "Ever since they found out they've just been avoiding me and acting uncomfortable around me. It's like they're disgusted by me or something" she explain simply as she keeps playing with my fingers, avoiding eye contact with me. "What?" I ask, anger building up inside of me as I slightly pull away from her. "They better have a good fucking excuse" I mutter letting go of her hand and walking towards them.

"Josh" Maya calls out grabbing my wrist and turning me around to face her, "No" she shakes her head "Please don't make a scene" she begs "I'll talk to them, just not now" she promises. "I just want to be with you. You're all I care about right now" she says gently walking closer to me, closing the distant between us and locking her arms behind my neck. I smile wrapping my arms around her waist, "Fine but if you don't talk to them I will" she nods in agreement and I lean down to peck her lips. "I love you" I mutter once we pull away, our foreheads pressed against each others. "I love you too" she says happily leaning back in for another kiss, this time I let my lips lingers a bit longer, loving how her lips mold against mine.

Once we pull away I gaze at her at her with a goofy smile. "What?" She giggles furrowing her brow as she looks at me, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'm just thinking about how next year we'll have a little baby" I admit. "Doesn't that terrify you?" She asks confused "You're going to be a father at 20" she reminds me but I shrug.

"I know" I assure her "But just the thought of having a family with you excite me. I know that we can get through anything together and our little pumpkin shows how much we love each other" her eyes fill with unshead tears and a soft smile pulls at her lips.

"You have no idea how lucky I am to have you. Without you I-I" she stutters tears falling down her cheeks. I shake my head and lift my hand, wiping her tears. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what" I promise as everyone around us starts counting down. "You're my future Maya" I whisper "Happy New Year baby" I mutter crashing my lips on hers as everyone shouts 'Happy New Year' and fireworks fill the sky.

Waking up the first day of a new year, I take a moment to think about everything that is going to happens during the next twelve months. In a month I have my second appointment and as exciting as it gets, we're going to find out the gender of our little pumpkin. 4 months after that I'll have a little baby laying in my arms. A small smile pull at my lips thinking about holding the perfect combination of Josh and I but my stomach suddenly churns making me feel instantly nauseous. I rapidly climb out of bed and rush to my bathroom, crashing on the floor and throwing up last night's dinner.

I groan standing back up. I thought I finished going through morning sickness, apparently not. I brush my teeth and apply a light coat of make up since I look pale. I run a comb through my hair before walking back to my bedroom to get dressed. I decide on a pair of jeans and a black long sleeve shirt and pair it with an oversized fleece fur lined denim jacket. I throw on some boots and walk out of my bedroom over to the kitchen to grab something to drink, but the smell of bacon that my dad was cooking is hard to miss and my stomach turns. I rush out of the kitchen towards the balcony hoping that fresh air will make me feel better.

"You okay?" I turn my head and find my mom joining me outside and closing the door behind her. I nod and watch as she walks towards me and leans against the railing. "It's a brand new year and a lot is going to happen so I was thinking that maybe I could talk to you about some things" A small smile pulls at my lips thinking that she finally is going to accept my baby. "Sure" I nod.

"First of all, with Josh having his own apartment" she starts but I cut her off "It's not his" I argue she sighs and roll her eyes. "I know you're going to want to see him and I just want to tell you that when school starts again you won't have time for him" she continues making my smile drop instantly "So what I'm suggesting is that I'm allowing you to see him once a month during a weekend" she explains with a smile. "Another thing as well is Everleigh is going to move into the guest room since it's bigger and your baby's nursery will be in Evs old room. Your father and I also discussed about school next year and" before she has the chance to even continue I storm back into the house and out of the front door.

I couldn't deal with her anymore, if she honestly thought separating Josh and I would be a good idea, than she is out of her mind. I walk the short few blocks to Topanga knowing the others are already there. I take a deep breath getting ready for another problem I need to confront. I walk inside and Riley's face lights up, "Peaches" she exclaims standing up and pulling me against her for a hug. "Hey Riles" I smile pulling away and taking seat next to her. "How are you doing?" She asks curiously as all the others avoid eye contact with me. "I threw up a little this morning but I'm fine" I shrug "Anyways I came here because we need to fix something" I admit causing her brows to furrow.

"Fix what?" She questions. "This" I exclaims motioning to our small group. "Ever since they found out I was pregnant none of them can look me in the eye or talk to me normally. They probably don't even want to be in the same room as me because they're disgusted" I explain frustratedly.

"Is it true guys?" Riley asks shocked. Im surprised she didn't even notice. "It's not that were disgusted by you" Lucas starts "We're just having a hard time understanding that in a few months you'll already be a mother" he explains softly. "Don't get me wrong we love you but it was shocking" Farkle adds making me sigh.

"You don't think I was shocked. I was terrified, I thought my life over, I still do sometimes. You guys don't think it scares me to be at mother at seventeen" I exclaim. "I needed my friends to be there for me" I whisper sadly "I wanted them to tell me that it was going to be alright and that they were there for me no matter what, but none of you did that, except Riles" I admit shooting her a soft smile as she takes my hand, giving it a tight squeeze.

"We're sorry" Farkle says standing up and walking over to me. "I can't imagine what you've been going through and the fact that I wasn't there to help makes me angry at myself" he apologises. I stand up and pull him in for a tight hug, "Thank you" I whisper before pulling away and finding Lucas standing up as well.

"I'm sorry too. You needed us and we all acted selfish. Will you forgive me short stack?" Lucas asks hopefully making me chuckle. I pull him in for a hug and they only on left is Zay, I turn to face him and he sighs standing up. "I have to admit that when Riley said you were pregnant and you confirmed it I was hurt. I know you and I never dated or anything but we were close friends. For a while I couldn't wrap mg head around the fact that you were going to have a baby, but after what you just said I realised how selfish I was being. I was only thinking about myself when really I should've thought about how you feel. I'm sorry for everything" he apologises making me tear up as I pull him in for a tight hug.

"Thank you guys" I smile quickly wipping my tears as I look at all of them. "Without all of you I'd be lost, you mean so much to me" I finish making Riley pull us in for a group hug. "Guess we're all going to be Uncles now" Zay says making us laugh.

Almost everything is fixed.
