My Brother's Best Friend's Baby

twenty-four

"Oh My God! You're really pregnant?" Jess asked with wide eyes. I only had time to nod before she tackled me in a hug.

"Wait! How far along are you? You and Wyatt haven't been dating for that long." Hailey asked me.

"We were kinda doing things before we officially started seeing each other, so..." I pulled the sweatshirt I had been wearing off, so they could see my bump though my top, "I'm fifteen weeks and five days, I'll be sixteen weeks on Sunday," I finished, rubbing my hand over my growing bump.

"Shit Kennedy, you're like actually pregnant!" Arden gasped, staring at my bump.

"Yeah, It's still a little surreal to me, I definitely didn't picture myself having a baby at seventeen, but it's what happened," I shrugged, sitting back down.

"Have you been to the doctor? Do you have a picture?" Lauren asked excitedly. I nodded before standing up and getting the ultrasound picture from my bag.

"Wyatt and I went at the beginning of the month, so that was when I was thirteen and a half weeks," I told them, handing the picture to Lauren. They all passed the picture around the room and examined it for themselves.

"I'm gonna be an aunt!" Jess squealed, "Only if that's okay with you Kennedy?" She quickly added in.

"Of course it's okay with me," I told her.

"Do you know the gender?" Somebody else asked.

"Nope, we find out right after the new year and we're still trying to decide if we want to do a gender reveal or not," I answered.

"You have to do a gender reveal! I bet it's a girl!" Arden gushed.

"I'm also on team girl, but Wyatt is positive that it's a boy!" I laughed.

"Wait hold on! So you were actually pregnant at the last sleepover which is why Wyatt said I don't want to get anyone else pregnant!" Hailey commented, putting all of the puzzle pieces together.

"Yeah, we had just found out I was pregnant that week, so it hadn't completely sunk in at that point," I explained, rubbing my hand on the back of my neck. I was really hoping they wouldn't remember that part of the last sleepover, but I knew it would most likely come up, so I had prepared myself beforehand.

"Wyatt is going to be a great dad!" Jess smiled as she looked at the ultrasound picture.

"I have no doubt, he has been so supportive and has put up with my crazy hormones. I honestly don't know what I would've done if something different happened," I sighed. Even thinking about what would have happened if Wyatt had wanted nothing to do with our baby's life sent a chill down my spine. I never once took the fact that Wyatt chose to stay for granted.

"So, tell us everything from the beginning! I want all of the details!" Arden giggled.

"When do you want me to start? The night my brother almost caught us together or the day I found out I was pregnant?" I asked them.

"The night you brother almost caught you!" A few of the girls chorused out. So, that's what I did, I started at the party where I had broken it off with Wyatt. I continued to tell them everything for the next half an hour, and whenever one of the girls had a question, they would ask. Finally, I had finished telling them everything and all of them seemed shocked at how complicated, yet not complicated, my situation was.

"Also, if you girls could keep the whole baby thing a secret for a little bit longer, that would be great. Wyatt and I are planning on keeping it ourselves until around the endish of January, so we can settle back into things after Christmas Break." I informed them.

"Of course Ken, your secret is perfectly safe with us," Jess smiled, putting a hand on my knee.

"Yeah, just let us know when you are going to tell people," Arden chimed in.

"You guys have no idea of how grateful I am that all of you are being supportive, and now the hormonal flood gates have opened," I smiled tears welling in my eyes and falling down my cheeks.

"Group hug ladies!" Jess squealed as she wrapped her arms around me. Eventually, we were all in a huge group hug and it felt super comforting.

"How about we watch another movie about teen romance? I am now in the mood for love!" Hailey suggested before drifting off into a dreamy state.

Jess quickly turned on a teen rom com and everybody got comfortable and settled in with their blankets and such. I crawled underneath the blankets I had brought and adjusted the few blankets that were underneath my body, for extra support, or else my back would be in a lot of pain when I woke up.

About half way through the movie, my phone buzzed and I saw a text from Wyatt.

Everything go okay?

I quickly responded:

Yep, everything went as planned and all of the girls have been nothing but super supportive ❤️

So you're saying my ass isn't going to get beaten??

I think you're safe 😘

Good! I need to be in tip top condition as the newest Little League Coach!

You got the job??????

Yeah!! I was gonna wait until I saw you tomorrow to tell you in person, but I couldn't wait any longer :)

I'm so happy you told me tonight!

I should be heading to bed. I'll see you tomorrow right?

I'll be back at my house around eleven, if you want to come over.

I'm already spending the night with Gray, so I'll be there when you get home.

If you want to, you can sleep in my room

I might have to take you up on the offer 😉

Goodnight Wy 💞

Goodnight Kens ❤️

I smiled to myself as I locked my phone again and set it by my side. Now along with my boyfriend and family, I had all of my friends support as well.
