I Thought Three Was A Crowd

Chapter 13: Seriously, What Now?

"What do I do?!" I said crying.
Jordan dropped to the floor and stared into space. Ashley had a sad look on her face but i could tell that she was also filled with anger. I knew why she was mad but it's not like i wanted this to happen.
"What do I do?" I cried out.
"This is impossible." Jordan said.
Ashley still stood in anger. Jordan noticed it and got up to hold her and calm her down. He tried to touch her but she moved away. I knew she was mad now.
"You wanted this to happen!" She cried out.
She started to get louder in her tone.
"Why would I want this to happen? I didn't even know I could have kids, remember? This is a mistake." I said.
"There is no mistake. You wanted this. One year my ass. You always wanted to leave me in dust. You never cared for me."
"Don't you dare get mad at her. You know she loves you. I do, too." Jordan yelled.
"See, it's just you two. I never mattered." Ashley said sadly.
"Now you know that's not true." Jordan said.
"Why would I believe that? Huh. You're the one that fucked her and got her pregnant. Your child. Her child. Not mine."
I was lost in the moment. I couldn't really process what was going on. I was still trying to get pass the fact that I was pregnant. It had to be a mistake. But I didn't feel like a mistake. Jordan was up on Ashley trying to calm her down. I knew why she was mad but I needed her support rather than her anger right now.
"Forget you!" She yelled at Jordan.
Jordan was blocking her path from me. She moved just enough to look at me.
"Forget you, too!" She started to cry when she said it.
I looked in her eyes and knew she didn't mean what she said but she couldn't trust me anymore.
"Ashley wait..." Jordan tried to keep her from walking out the room but she pushed him away and left.
But she didn't leave the room. She left the house. I dropped on my bed and laid there. Jordan laid next to me.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
"I love her." I said.
"So do I." Jordan said with a sad look on his face.
We laid next to each other and eventually drifted off to sleep. We woke up about 2 hours later and decided to go to the doctor's office. Ashley wasn't home still. When we got to the doctor's office, he confirmed the pending fact that I was pregnant. I sighed at the news. Why right now, I thought to myself. We went home and sat in the living room. Ashley still wasn't home. Jordan went into the kitchen and got me some water. I felt flushed and heated. After about 10 minutes, the door opened and Ashley walked into the house. She walked past the living room and went into the kitchen. She didn't speak. I frowned at Jordan. She walked out the kitchen and into the living room. She sat in front of me and Jordan and drank the juice she fixed for herself. She had dry tears in her eyes. Jordan and I both sat up and started to talk but she stopped us. She ate in front of us. We sat in silence for about 2 minutes until she finished.
"I wanted a child." She started
I tried to say something but she gestured me to stop. I did.
"I wanted a child and I wanted to bare it." She paused.
"I knew that you couldn't." She gestured towards me.
"So I became that person to do so. I always wanted to have a child. No matter if I would bare it or adopt. I wanted a child. And now that I am having one, I shouldn't be mad."
I waited for her to finish because I really wanted to speak.
"I was wrong to yell and scream. I was upset because I felt like I was obsolete and didn't have a place here anymore. Then when you said you were pregnant I assumed that you two only wanted each other. But I see that is not the case. I love you two very much. Since we first met, Kelly. I've always felt a connection between us and Jordan you made me feel a way I never felt in a long time and it made me happy to be around you guys. I'm sorry for my actions and I hope you can forgive me."
She was done and all I was doing was crying. So was Jordan. It was a very sentimental moment. Jordan got up to hug and her a gave her kiss on her lips. They didn't stop until I came in and hugged her, kissed her on the forehead and started to kiss her as well. It was such a romantic moment. We were all still kissing when Jordan put his hand on my stomach. So did Ashley and I felt so much love then. I can get though this, I thought to myself. All I need is love.
