The Bad Boy's Baby • Colby Brock

Chapter 29: Preterm

-Amara's POV-

I bite my nails as I wait for the door to open. How am I suppose to tell him I'm keeping Cain after all? I can't force him into being a father when it's not even his baby. He doesn't deserve that. He needs to live his life as a teenager.

The front door opens and John comes in, smiling as he sees me. I smile back and wave.

"What's up, baby," he says kissing my cheek.

"I needed to tell you something." I take a deep breath and pull my hand away from my mouth.

He frowns and sits down next to me. He's the only one who doesn't know that the adoption fell through. I've talked to my family and friends but I haven't got the chance to explain it to John. Now that I'm keeping the baby, it would be best for our relationship ended.

"The adoption fell through. I'm keeping Cain." I bite my lip as I wait for his response. He smiles at me and laughs, hugging me.

"I thought something was wrong," he laughs, "that's great, Mar."

I give him a soft smile before shaking my head, "I want you to live your life, John. I don't think our relationship will work out after he's here." His smiles drops. "It's not anything you've done, trust me. You've been extremely supportive of me and Cain, and I love you for that. I'll always love you. But, I don't want to make anything more complicated than it needs to be. I don't want you to have my responsibilities on your shoulders."

He lets go of my hand and stands up. "Amara, I don't care that you're having a baby. I'll love Cain like he's my own."

"That's just it John, I'm having a baby. Not you. Please just don't argue. I'm doing what's best for you and me both. It's hard but it's what's best."

He rolls his eyes, "Yeah, whatever. Be happy with your little family. Be happy with Colby." He sneers then turns around, hurrying out of my house.

"John!" I yell as he shuts the door.

That's not how I wanted it to go. He just doesn't understand where I'm coming from. He doesn't understand my mindset. How could he though? He doesn't have the same bond or feelings as I do when it comes to the baby.

I sigh and stand up, making my way up to my room. I still have another three hours until Rya's home. My parents decided to take a weekend away. There's about to be a baby in the house so I understand they needed some time.

I lay down in bed, covering myself with my comforter. I turn my tv on and watch friends as I try to take a small nap. I've been extra tired today and just need some sleep.

***

I shoot up from my bed, breathing hard. I check the time, 7:08pm. At least I didn't sleep too late.

I feel abdomen tense up, a sharp pain shooting through me. I clench my eyes and bite the inside of my cheek, waiting for it to pass.

Holy shit that hurt.

I take deep breath as I throw my legs over my bed, clenching the side. The pain lasts for another 10 seconds. I stand up the best I could and put my hand on my side. I can feel Cain shifting around inside me.

I rub my eyes and open my bedroom door. I walk down the stairs and see my parents and Rya all watching tv.

"Hey." I groan.

They all look at me with a concerned face. "What's wrong baby?" Mom asks me.

"I don't know I just got a really bad pain in my stomach. I'm sure it's just Braxton Hicks." I tell her and sit down in the chair.
