Pregnant with the Gang Leaders Baby (BWWM)

8. Jesse

"Jesse...I'm pregnant."

As soon as the words left her mouth I wanted to laugh. She wasn't serious right? We'd never even had sex!

Wait... The more I thought about it, the more I realized that we did have sex. The party. Visions of the night crash into my system and I drop the phone.

A baby. Can I afford a baby with this life? Chase is already running down my back. I kill people without a care in the world, yet I'd have a child.

It'd make me weak but I can't abandon Nora. It'll break her and I can't afford to hurt her. I care too much.

"Jesse." I barely heard it from the phone.

"Nora."

My voice came out more hoarse than I expected it to.

"I'm sorry," I could hear her voice crack as she spoke. Knowing she was crying only made me want to hold her in my arms and keep her calm.

"I'll get an abortion if that's what you want. I know you want have a baby in the life you live." At this point she was pratically sobbing into the phone.

Lose the baby? No. I can't let that happen. My heart broke at the thought of picturing a lifeless baby in the trash of some clinic.

"Hell no!" I yelled. " You're not getting rid of my child." I said the second part a little calmer.

After a couple moments past she finally spoke.

" Okay. What are we going to do. I barely know you. Your life? Your family?"

A sigh escaped my lips," All we need to worry about right now is making sure you and this baby are ok. We can figure out the rest later. I don't want to tell you about my life since it'll just stress you out and that not good for the baby." More came out than I actually wanted to say but none the less all of it was true.

If I told her about the gang, it would freak her out and make her worry when she doesn't have to be.
" You sound just like Lisa. " She chuckles but I ignore her.

"Meet me at the pizza place tomorrow at noon and I'll tell you everything you need and want to know." I promise.

"For real!" I could hear the excitement in her voice.

"Yes, for real." I couldn't stop the smile forming on my face.

"So, is this a date?"

" You want it to be a date?" What is she getting at? I was playing stupid of course it was date but I wanna see her reaction.

"I mean we are two people, going to a place, at a specific time..." I couldn't help but laugh at how she explained every detail.

"Yes, Nora it's a date but for three people."

" Three people?....Oh." She chuckled once she realized what I meant.

" Yeah for three people. See you tomorrow then Jesse." With that she hung up the phone.

My hand takes down my face. I'm having a baby. I'm going to be a father.

" So...how'd the talk go?" Lincoln says walking in.

" As good as it can be, we're meeting up to eat at the one pizza place down the street." I explain.

" Not important. Is she pregnant?"

When he asked me that I could really fathom his words. It's like I was being told all over again that she was. After a few moments I nod.

"Wow dude, congrats." Lincoln walked over and tried to put a hand on my shoulder but I moved away and walked toward my bathroom.

"Lincoln. What am I going to do with a baby. I have too much on my hands as is. I have Chase down my throat trying to take over the gang and pratically ruin my life. Adding a baby to the mix will just make it worse." I wanted to cry but not in front of Lincoln. He may be my best friend but I never show weakness.

"Man you can't think about it like that. You need to think of the positive. You have your date with Nora tomorrow and a few torturous 9 months to endure." The last part made me smile.

The thought of Nora's belly getting bigger and her true self coming out made me excited but I knew word would travel fast. Chase would be down my throat or already plotting something to make sure this baby is not born. But I won't allow that.

I have to protect them...
