Because of John (Teen pregnancy)

Because of John |Chapter 15|

"I'm pregnant.."
"Wait,, you, you're what?!" my grandmother said in a confused voice
"John and i are having a baby, it's a girl. I'm due in may."
"Congratulations!!" colleen says engulfing me in a giant hug
"Thank you!" i say as she hugs john as well. my grandparents still haven't said a word to me they're just staring at the floor. After a few seconds of letting the news sink in that their granddaughter was having a baby and that they were about to become great-grandparents, i finally spoke.
"Say something.."
"What do you want us to say, Blake?! you're 16 and pregnant and your mom and colleen just act like it's perfectly okay for you to be having a baby."
"Well what did you expect me to do mom? Screaming at her and making her feel bad about being a mother isn't going to do any good. there's nothing i can do about it but support her just like you did me when i had Evan at 18." mom said
"This is ridiculous, we're leaving." my grandmother said and stormed out the door, my grandfather in tow.

Great. that went well. now my grandparents hate me. i thought to myself. i walked up to my room and sat down on my bed, i thought about the reaction my grandparents had to my baby, i wonder what johns parents are going to say. just then i heard a knock at my door and see Riley standing there.

"Riley!" i exclaim and run into my brothers open arms "i've missed you so much."
"I've missed you too, Blake. you wanna tell me whats wrong?"
"No, it's not a big deal. Granny doesn't support my pregnancy. I get her not being stoked about her 16 year old grand daughter expecting a baby when shes still a baby herself but damn. she could give me a break."
"I know, im sorry. I think shes just acting this way because she loves you and wanted better for you. she sees this as you ruining your life even though you still plan to graduate and go to college."
"Of course i do! this baby makes me want to do my best for her."
"Well good, thats how it should be."
"Enough about me, how are? how was your trip?!"
"Well it started out pretty good, we went ice skating with her nieces and nephews, then she showed me around the town and where she grew up. got up the next morning and had breakfast and i will admit that things got heated a little too quickly and after i told her that and said we needed to slow down a little bit and not rush things she got all awkward. she was short and snappy with me all day long, she barely would talk to me or act like she was my girlfriend so i told her i had a family emergency and had to fly back home. she didnt even say bye to me. we drove to the airport in absolute silence and i got my things and went on my way then she went on hers. she hasn't text me either, i've kinda just ssumed we're not together anymore."
"Awe I'm sorry riles. maybe when she comes back y'all can talk things out and get back together."
"I hope so, how are you and john? has he been dealing you any bullshit?"
"No" i laughed "He's been fine, he's super excited about having a daughter, his buddies say it's all he ever talks about anymore."
"He better be glad." riley said hugging me "I've missed you, sis."
"I know i missed you too."
"I'm going to go say hey to the rest of the family, soon as i walked in and saw you run up here upset i dropped everything to come make sure you were okay."
"Thanks, you're the best, i love you riley."
"I love you too, blakey poo." he said with a cheeky grin calling me by the awful nickname he and evan gave me as a child

We walked down stairs and met mom, colleen, john, evan, val and char all sitting in the living room chatting. I felt better after talking with riley, he always knew how to make me feel better.

"Hey baby, you okay?" john asked rubbing my back
"Yeah, I'm just fine. who cares if my grandparents aren't happy about my baby, we are and that is all that matters."
"you are absolutely right, sweetheart." mom said hugging me and placing a kiss on my forehead
"Y'all ready to get this party started?" evan asked a little more enthusiasically than any of us were expecting.

Later that night after everyone had gone home, i carried my gifts up to my room and began putting various items on hangers or into my closet. I sat down on the edge of my bed for a breather when Char walked in and sat down on my bean bag.
