fun running the walk and stuff with them."

"It's stressing you out and I don't like it. You're quitting tomorrow," he said seriously.

"Why are you being such a dick? Gosh, it's one event. I've done plenty others," I said and pushed him away.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he said a little louder.

"I should ask you the same thing!"

He took a deep breath and looked me over. His looked turned sad and then angry. His fists connected with his steering wheel then.

"Fuck," he yelled and then got out of the car.

"What's wrong?" I asked and climbed out then walked to his side.

He put his head in his hands and leaned against the car before starting to sob. I was so confused that I didn't know what to do so I just stood there and put a hand on his shoulder gently.

"You're pregnant, aren't you?" he whispered through his sobs.

"What? How could I be pregnant?" I asked him and took a step back.

"We didn't..." His never finished his thought but I caught on pretty quickly.

"This is your fault!" I screamed at him and started to punch his arms.

"Katie, wait-,"

"Don't Katie me, you bastard! You take my virginity and don't even have the decency to use a fucking condom?" I kept screaming and punching him.

"I wasn't thinking! Back then, you were just another fuck toy that satisfied my needs that night. You weren't my world; you are now."

"Bullshit," I screamed. "You're nothing to me but a low, selfish, ignorant bastard. Go find another girl to be your fuck toy because I'm sure as hell not a candidate in this race."

"Katie, you're not-,"

"Fuck you, Alex!" I shouted and then started to walk home.

Chapter 6.

- Katie's POV -

I got home and smelled the fresh fish cooking in the kitchen and stomach instantly growled. I didn't realize how hungry I was until now. I followed the smells and found daddy fixing a plate. He smiled at me when he saw me and then frowned.

"Why are there tear stains on your face, baby girl?" he asked in alarm.

"Alex and me just broke up," I told him and sobbed into his arms.

"Oh honey," he said sympathetically and hugged me tightly.

Mom came in and joined the hug. I started to pull away from them both and looked at their concerned faces. I had to tell them. I looked down at my now bulging stomach and sniffled.

"Mom, dad," I started.

"Yes?" they said in unison.

"I'm pregnant," my weak voice said and I heard the sharp intakes of breath they took.

"Katie," my dad started.

"We're not mad, honey," mom added.

"How did this happen?" dad.

"Do you know who?" mom.

They were starting to frustrate me with questions they knew the answers to. "Mom, you technically just called me a whore. Of course Alex is the father! And dad, you know exactly how the hell it happened! Damn, if you don't, how did I happen?" I yelled.

"Sweetie, not like that," he said.

"Then like what, dad?"

"You were always with the whole 'waiting until marriage' thing. I just didn't think you would..."

"Well shows how much you've been in my life these past couple years, daddy. I haven't said a word about sex until marriage since 8th grade when coach Barnes showed us that video of sexual reproduction. You guys are terrible parents," I snapped viciously. "If I even decide to keep my baby, I'd hope to be nothing like you two."

Chapter 7.

- Alex's POV -

"Mr. Miller, is she home?" I asked when Katie's dad answered the door.

"Even if she were, you aren't welcome into our house, Alex. Good day," he said and started to close the door.

I put my foot in the door frame. "I fucked up, I get that, Mr. Miller! But please, please... Let me see her. It's been months. Two whole months and I have no idea where she is or what state she's in with our baby. Please," I started to cry and his sympathy came out.

He sighed and opened the door. "I didn't answer the door for you; Nathan did."

"Who's Nathan?"

"Her nephew. My son has two children," he told me.

"Congratulations," I said and walked upstairs to her room.

I heard Twilight playing behind the bedroom door and smiled. She was always a sucker for Jacob Black. I opened the door gently and she looked up at me.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"How are you?" I shot right back.

"I'm managing," she said softly.

"Katie, I'm sorry for everything I've put you through. These past few months I've made hell for you and now we're having a child and I'm not the best father on Earth. I'm trying to be, though," I said sadly.

She looked at me like she was reassuring me that I was off the hook and then looked at the television screen again. I climbed onto the bed with her and pulled her into my chest gently. She didn't push away; she leaned into me and snuggled against my pecs. I smiled and kissed the top of her head softly before noticing her stomach. In two months, it went from a bulge to much rounder; almost a basketball under her shirt.

Chapter 8.

- Katie's POV -

"Do you know what it is yet?" Kaylin asked as me and Alex walked into her room.

"It's a boy," Alex told her proudly and smiled.

She screeched and hugged both of us before they both helped me sit down. "I'm so happy you guys are keeping it."

"Yeah, well," I started. "I didn't really have any other options in mind at the time I decided."

"And I wouldn't have let her choose any other options so," Alex said and kissed my cheek.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. What are you naming him?" Kaylin asked impatiently.

"I was thinking maybe Devin," I said softly and stroked my stomach. "Devin Lucas Milan."

"I think that's so cute!" Kaylin screeched in excitement.

"Please stop the screeching," I said and covered my ears.

"I'm sorry. It's just that you're my best friend and this is my god-son and... I'm just so excited!"

I laughed because she was practically bouncing out of her chair. Alex was staring at his phone and texting someone a serious message;  I knew it was serious because his worry lines were starting to show.

"What's wrong, love?" I asked and leaned over to see what he was typing.

"Nothing," he said a little too quickly and then stood up. "I just need some, uh.. Air."

His phone rang and he looked at it before walking out of the door.

"That was weird."

"Yes, it was," I added to Kaylin's comment before stroking my stomach again. "He's been worried ever since these people have started calling him about scholarships and stuff for football. It's a pain in the ass for him and I've tried to be understanding."

"That didn't seem like a call from a scholar scout," Kaylin said concerned and then looked at me.

Tears started in my eyes. "Well, it might just be something he has going on that he doesn't want me knowing about."

"Katie, don't cry." She pulled me into a tight hug and I hugged her back before smiling at her weakly.

"I'm fine," I assured her and then looked away.

Chapter 9.

- Katie's POV -

"Babe, who were you texting while we were at Kaylin's today?" I asked quietly in the darkness of my room as we lay there.

"My aunt passed a couple days ago and it's been a little hard on me because I haven't seen her in two years and she's my favorite aunt. But I didn't want to worry you or our little one," he paused and rubbed my stomach gently," so I kept it to myself."

"Baby, you know I would have let you go to the funeral. I feel really bad now," I said and turned to him.

"Don't worry about it. The funeral's on Friday."

"Great! You're going."

"No," he said and then turned me back over so my back was against his chest.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not leaving you here while I'm gone to New York," he said.

I kept quiet after that. I heard the ticking of the clocks hands as the minutes passed by. The fall and rise of Alex's chest were all I could feel and I waited until they slowed before sliding out of his arms and going over to my desk and turning on my laptop. I was searching on the internet and then a message popped up on the screen. I noticed that it was Alex's Facebook message but I couldn't help but be curious and opened it.

Hey babe. Why aren't you returning my calls? :) From some girl named Alecia. Oh hell no, I said to myself. I looked back at Alex and saw his peaceful sleeping face. I knew it was wrong but I did it anyways; I sent her one back:

Hi Alecia, this is Alex's girlfriend and the mother of his soon-to-be child. I'd appreciate it if you didn't send anymore messages to my boyfriend from here on out and if you do, I'll have a problem worth fixing with you myself. Good night. (: and hit send.

My adrenaline was pumping as I got back into
