It's You: Book Two

Chapter Eight

After the appointment, Aiden and I went to steak and shake for lunch, got my prenatal vitamins from the store, and now we're home unpacking the house with everyone. They watched Declan while we were gone, and now he's playing in the backyard.

We had passed around the picture of the baby and told them everything the doctor told us, and now if I even look at something to lift, I get yelled at by the nearest person.

Every time I get annoyed with them, I look over at the fridge where the ultrasound picture of the baby rests, and it makes me calm down, because they're just trying to protect me and the baby.

"Where the hell is Mike?" Aiden asks Danny. "He told me he was getting the box from the bathroom like thirty minutes ago!"

"I don't know dude. He's been acting weird all day." Danny says.

"I need that box to finish this. It has the screws for this thing," he points to the pots and pan hanger thing that goes on the ceiling. "And I can't put away the pans and everything without the rack up."

"So go ask him what's taking so long." Danny shrugs.

Aiden sets down the pan he's holding on the island countertop and walks to the half bathroom off the laundry room.

A moment later, I hear, "oh my god that's disgusting!" a door slams and Aiden comes running back to the kitchen, and then he goes walking back a few seconds later. "What the fuck!" he exclaims.

"What?" My Mom asks him.

"I just saw Ali's tits! And her-you know, her stuff!" he points towards his crotch. "I'm going to be sick."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" I ask him.

"Ali and Mike, they were doing-in the bathroom! He was-oh my god. Oh my god!"

"Wait, what?" Danny shakes his head. He looks like he's about to laugh. "You saw Ali and Mike-"

"Doin' the fucking hobby horse!" Aiden yells at Mike.

Danny throws his head back and starts laughing.

"Ali and Mike are having sex?!" I ask.

"Yes! I just saw both of them! All of them!" Aiden says to me.

"They're having sex?" Peter asks for confirmation.

"Yes!" Aiden throws his hands up.

"Are you sure?" my Mom asks him.

"I-I think I know what sex looks like!" Aiden looks pale.

I shake my head.

"No they're not. Ali's with Steve."

Ali is pregnant with Steve's baby.

"Alexandra, I swear on Declan, on you, on our unborn baby, my sister and your brother are having sex!" Aiden exclaims.

Just then, Mike walks into the kitchen. He's dressed now, but his hair is all messed up.

"You're having sex with my sister!" Aiden practically yells.

"You're having sex with my sister." Mike replies.

"You really were having sex?" I ask him. "What the hell!"

Ali walks in next. Her hair is thrown in a messy bun, but she's dressed sloppily, and her sweatpants are backwards.

"You're having sex with my brother?!" I ask her.

"You're having sex with mine!" she says defensively.

"I mean, it's not the same thing though. I mean, it's just Aiden."
