Chapter 14: My Gift To You....

After that a entire year goes by and it's been 2 years since I've met Erik and he's changed my life. Bring joy and happiness to my heart and soul. Always surprising me with things, and giving me the world. Without being asked.

But now I had some news to tell him that will definitely shake our effect happy world. Something I didn't think he'd take well, and I was highly nervous.

Right now he was at the gym and I was home relaxing and laying in bed. This was a normal routine. I'd stay home and he'd go work his body off, then come home shower and then we'd watch a movie or go out depending on what he had planned or not.

I laid in bed, just eating and sleeping my thoughts away. Until I'm not able to think about it anymore. But it always just pops right back up in my mind. I wish I didn't even know about it so I didn't have to think about it.

But I did know, and I didn't want to know. Ugh, it was eating me up inside and making me feel sick. I was really all afraid of how he would take it.

I jumped up out the bed, and ran quickly to the bathroom. Throwing up, these thoughts were just making me so sick in my stomach. I stood up from the toilet and went to wipe my mouth. Brushing my teeth and cleaning myself up.

The taste in my mouth just all gross, and I wouldn't be able to handle it. So I brushed and used mouthwash a few times before I was able to go back to bed.

I laid in bed and just looked at the gift on the table that I surprisingly wrapped. I just wanted to make this easy on myself. I was already freaking out and losing my mind. But still what could I have done. It's not like I can change it without ruining myself.

I didn't know if I needed a nap, or if I just needed to invite someone over to tell them about it. I wanted someone I thought I could talk to, already knowing Erik will be at the gym for some time.

So I called Josea, he would have some good advice. Maybe.

"Hey J". I said shakily

"Hey girl! Wassup!". He said cheerfully into the phone.

"You have time to talk? I'm stressing and I don't know what to do".

"You pregnant girl". He joked

"No! Just please come over". I said more of a begging way.

"Fine, I gotchu. I'm close by anyways". I thanked him and hung up the phone. I got some snacks and set them out knowing Josea likes to eat, he was that type of person.

A knock on my door came and when I opened it, it was Josea. "Dang!"

"I said I was close by, I was literally at a shop next door". He chuckled as he made his way inside. "So what's the emergency". He plopped down on the couch and took a Cheeto puff from the bag, sticking it inside his mouth.

"I'm pregnant". Josea at the moment choked on his Cheeto puff and started coughing loudly. I rushed to his side to pat his back and hopefully get him to calm down. I jumped to get some fruit punch and got him a glass and handed it to him to wash down the Cheeto puff he was choking on.

"Bitch! You said you wasn't!" He slightly yelled

"I couldn't tell you over the phone!"

"You lying bitch! When you find this out?" He asked

"A few days ago". I admitted, when I took the test, I was terribly shocked when it came out, positive.

I always wanted a little family of my own, but what would happen if Erik didn't want one. He'd probably just up and leave and that isn't impossible for him to disappear. Worse part is, the police won't be able to track him. So he won't even have to pay child support!
