Love Child (RoyalChaos)

Chapter 3: "The Moment"

(A/N: This chapter's going to be more filler than anything else. The main story will continue in the next chapter, I promise!)

"Hey, guys," I awkwardly greet to the camera. Man this is gonna be weird. It's been two weeks, and I'm finally about to tell my fans about the pregnancy. I've actually started growing a bump and everything, and it's making it feel so real. When I first found out, I had no plans of telling them, but now I see no harm in it. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

"So, this is the first time I'm making a public announcement about this. For all of you fanfiction writers, get your pens and paper and take some notes. Two weeks ago, I got some special news from the doctor. Anthony and I are having a baby together. No, we're not adopting either." I held up the sonogram from my first official appointment and showed the camera. "I'm eight weeks along. We'll know by early August if it's a boy or girl, and I'm due in early December. Yes, I know what you're thinking. 'Ze, how is it possible?' We've been trying to figure that out too. But you know, we're pretty excited right now, and I'm moving out to Connecticut soon to be closer to Chilled. I'll update as the story progresses, but I really wanted you guys to know. That's about it for this one, and I'll see you all later."

Within a few hours of uploading, I had a ton of comments, of different types. Some of them were all happy and excited, and others were really skeptical. And of course, there were the speculators and writers. But either way, the response was pretty positive, and boy is that a relief!

Now that I've started growing a bump all of my classmates think I'm just getting fat. I haven't told anyone at school, except for the few people I'm closest with and the only ones who watch my channel.

I came out with it yesterday to one of my best friends here, Kelli. We were hanging out outside the library after studying for a test when I told her about my plans to move.

"Oh, any special reason?" she asked.

"I'm moving to be closer to my baby daddy."

She laughed and punched me in the shoulder. "Oh, you. You're joking, right?"

I shook my head no and pulled my shirt in to show her the bump. "I've known for two weeks now."

"Steven!" she shouted. "Who did this to you?"

"You know Anthony?" She shook her head yes. "Yeah, blame him." We laughed together, then she started rubbing my belly.

"I'm so happy for you, Steven! But I'm really going to miss you. You better keep in touch, mister."

"It'll be okay, Kells. There's always Skype, and you can come visit me in Connecticut if you want."

"That would be awesome. So, does this make you the dad, or the mom?"

"I guess I'll be the mom. I love how you don't seem surprised at all about this. No one seems surprised by this."

She shook her head, her long red hair flying all over the place. "Not at all. You're just the perfect mother type, Steven."

I smiled and looked down at my belly. "Thanks, Kelli." Everyone is so supportive about this - Jess, my parents, Anthony's parents, and all of our friends and fans. This is going to be one well-loved baby!

These mornings have been brutal the last few days. I've been sick every morning for the past week and a half and my ankles have had it with me. I've had some moments where I feel like I can do everything under the sun, and other moments where all I want to do it stay in bed all day. If it gets any worse, I don't know if I'll make it to December. Is this the same stuff women go through? I know they have it a lot worse but I didn't expect this.

But you know what, it's all fine. I don't regret anything. I'm so happy that I get to have this experience. With the move to Connecticut coming up, I feel like I'm prepared for whatever the future throws at me. I'm just living in the present, enjoying every moment of this.
