Her Trial's (Running Horses Book 2)

Chapter 3

I layed in bed that night. I thought that I was hurting. I can't imagine what mom went through. When she admited to everything that Aaron said I was in shock. Dad and Aunt Amanda stood their like they knew. I feel horrible for Aaron, the things she said she was being asked. Ya I was angry with her, but I knew she was hurting. Uncle Matt was beyond pissed with Mom, Dad, Aaron, and Luke. Today was a whole shit show. I look at the clock, its five in the morning. I get up shower, get dressed, head down stairs to fine Ryan on the couch. I make some toast and head to my truck.

      I wake up in mom's bed. I look over. I see mom in the middle, with dad behind her, I'm still cuddled up with her. I quietly sneak out of their room and make my way down stairs. I see Ryan past out on the couch. Because of everything that happened yesterday we didn't tell any our news. I walk over and kiss his forehead. I stand up and head to the kitchen. I see a knife, a plate, and a coffee cup in the sink. I look out the window and see Andrew working on his truck. I make two cups of coffee and head out side. "Peace offering?" I say handing him a cup. He smiles and take it. "Thank you. Can you start it for me?" I hop in the truck and try to start it. It just makes some clicking sound. "How long have you been up?" I ask him beating around the bush. He stops and looks at me. "Aaron?" He knows me to dam well. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He sighs and steps over to me. "I know Aaron. Can I ask you a question with out you going into bitch mode?" I chuckle, "You can try!" He laughs, "Fair enough. What is going on with you? One minute you're fine next you're acting like a royal bitch. And I mean that in the nicest possible way." I look at him and sigh. Got to start somewhere. "I'm pregnant Andrew." His face has shcoked written all over he leans against the truck. "Does mom and dad know?" "No I was going to tell them at the dinner last night but..." He looks at me, "What about Ryan?" I smile. "Ya he does. He even purosed." I said pulling the ring out of my pocket showing him, It was his class ring. "Thats great sis. He is a lucky man. And I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle." He said laughing and pulling into a hug.

     "Your going to be a what?" We turn around and see mom standing there. I jump out of the truck, "Momma I can explain!" She looks at me, "Your pregant?" I cant tell if she is mad, happy or Disappointed. "Ya momma. I'm eight weeks." She smiles pulling me in for a hug. "I am so happy for you baby. God I'm not old enough for this." She said chuckling. I couldn't help but laugh. "Does your daddy know?" I look at her biting my lip, "No ma'am." She sighs looking at me. "Ok. You need to tell him. What about Ryan?" I smile, "He knows." I say holding up my finger. She gasp as she sees the ring. Andrew laughs at us. "Oh my god my baby is pregant and getting married. Oh I am not old enough for this." Andrew comes up through his arm around my shoulder. "Oh you'll be fine mom. Just think you can baby sit then send it back home!" I smack Andrew for that comment. "Thanks for the help bro." He laughs, "Love ya." I look back at mom, "You ok Momma?" She looks at me with a cocked eyebrow. "Oh I wouldn't worry about me. It's you dad I'm worry about." Oh god I am so dead.

     I nock on the door to the office. "Come in." I opened it, "Hi daddy. You got a minute." "Of course." He said as I walked in. "Whats on you mind Baby girl?" Oh here goes nothing. "I got some news." He looks at me, "Could this news have anything to do with you mom avoiding me?" I smile sheepishly. "Sorry daddy, but ya." I'm so nervous. Start off with the engagment then the baby. "Aaron whats wrong? "I'm pregnant!" Well there went my plan. He is sitting there not saying anything. "What?" Oh boy, "Daddy I am pregant and Ryan purposed. I said yes." I said slower. He is still not saying anything. "Daddy please say something." "You're pregant?" I sit down as I feel the tears. I can't do this. I get up to leave. "Aaron wait a minute. I just need a minute to register." I stop at the door. I'm bouncing out of nervousness. "Hunnie come here." I walk over to him and lean on his desk. "Aaron, I'm not mad or upset. I'm surprised. My baby girl is getting married and having a baby." I look at him and smile. "I am really happy for you Aaron. I love you." He stands up and I hug him. I really do love his hugs. "I love you to Daddy. I have to admit, you are taking this alot better then mom or I thought you would." We both laugh. "Alright go. I got work to do." I chuckle, "Yes sir." I start to walk out. "Oh Aaron! Send in Ryan. Now!" And I paled, i just nod.

     As soon as I walked in mom saw me. "How did it go?" "He took it really well. Now he wants to see Ryan." Mom bites her lip and nod. I make my way over to Ryan. "Hey babe, Dad wants you in the office. Now!" He jumped up. "You told him?" "I didn't have a choice. Just go! You will be fine. His gun is locked up. I hope." He stops, "You are so not funny Aaron!" Mom and I laugh. As he slowly make his way to the stables.

      "It's been a few hours. You think he is still alive?" I ask mom and she chuckles. We are in the kitchen working on dinner when the door open. I look up to Ryan. "Well at least you're not dead." He looks me unamused. "You really are not funny Aaron. He did actually have his gun. Not one but two." He bends over leaning on the counter. I rub his back, "You are fine. He hasn't killed you and I'm already knocked up." He just glares at me. I turn away to finish cutting the veggies. I see mom biting her hand trying not to laugh. I look at Ryan who is trying to breath. "In and out babe, in and out." Mom couldn't hold it any longer. Ryan is glaring at us both for laughing. He shakes his head, grabs a beer and walk out. "I can't believe I jinxed it." I whispered to mom who is trying not to laugh. When I opened the package of chicken it hit me. I run to the bathroom barely making it. "Aaron can I come in hunnie?" "Ya mom just give me a-" I cut my self off by throwing up. She comes in and hold my hair. When I'm done she hands me water. "You know I had morning sickness really bad with all three of you. At times, you are really going to hate. But baby, in the end its all worth it. I promise." She said as I laid my head against her legs while she sat on the tub. She stands up, then helps me. I rinse my mouth. "Why don't you go lay down. I fixed up the guest room for you and Ryan. I'll have Ryan help me finish dinner." I just nod and make my way to the room. I see Avery coloring. "Hey monkey, what you doing?" I ask making my way to her. "Just coloring. What about you?" I smile, "I'm going to take a nap. Want to come?" She smiles and jumps up. We make our way to the room. I turn on some cartoons for her and fall asleep in no time.
