Chapter 7

Lauren's POV

 

 

 This morning I woke up confided in a best friend sandwich. Julissa slept behind me with her arms wrapped around my stomach.  Lilah slept in front of me with her arms wrapped around my lower back. This is how we fell asleep after they comforted me. Last night I cried all night long. I regret not kissing Logan. I wanted to with everything deep I inside me but I had to be strong. I couldn't allow him to manipulate my decision to stay away from him. Shaking Lilah rapidly she woke up. Fluttering her green eyes and pushing her orange hair back she spoke.

 

 

"Yes, Lauren?"she asked in a fruity tone. It's weird that she can wake up so....so...so chipper.

 

 

"I have to pee."I said sounding like a two year old.

 

 

Lilah removed her arms but I still couldn't get up. When I made any attempts Julissa's grip got tighter around my stomach. Waking her up like a normal human being was out of the equation. She's a heavy sleeper. Lilah pressed her mouth against Julissa's arm and opened her mouth wide. With one deep bite Julissa jumped up screaming in excruciating pain. Her black hair was sticking up and her light brown eyes looked like she was ready to kill. Lilah fell onto the floor laughing.

 

 

"YOU BITCH!!!"she hollered."YOU BIT ME!"

 

 

"Lauren has to pee."Lilah said sitting on the edge of the bed.

 

 

"Why didn't you guys just wake me?"she asked rubbing the red bruise on her arm. Together Lilah and I shouted.

 

 

"WE DID!"

 

Julissa and Lilah continued bickering while I snuck to the little girls room. Closing the bathroom door, I cut on the sink  water. Running water helps me to relax. I declare I spend more time peeing than sleeping. Thank good I didn't get morning sickness. I grt sick of course but in the evening and at night. Washing my hands I cut the water off. Exiting the bathroom I saw Julissa looking tense. I could hear chattering ,more like arguing, coming from behind the bedroom door. I heard Lilah say 'She doesn't want to talk to you."

 

 

"Who is that?"

 

 

"Ummm...it's... no one."Julissa lied. 

 

 

"I NEED TO SEE HER!"yelled a well known voice.

 

Rushing pass Julissa, I ran out and followed the sounds of Lilah's voice. Julissa ran behind me. In the kitchen stood Lilah in front of the patio slide doors. Vance was standing on the outside talking through the glass. He looked like shit. His eyes were red with bags under them. Had he slept at all? He saw me and gave a lazy side smile formed on his face. That seemed to be all he could conjure up. Lilah turned to see me and Julissa.

 

 

"I told him you didn't want to talk to him."Lilah said.

 

 

"I told her she should've asked you?"Julissa said.

 

 

"Do you want to talk to him?"Lilah asked.

 

Honestly I couldn't answer that question. A part of me was angry with him and the accusations he made about me cheating. But I couldn't blame him. Could I? Walking to the door, I slid it open. Vance came in and gave me a warm passionate kiss. Willingly I returned the kiss.

 

 

"Ahem."Julissa and Lilah coughed. Pulling my lips from his I turned to them.

 

 

"Can you guys give us a minute?"I asked. They nodded.

 

 

"You two better not get busy in my kitchen."Julissa joked. "You're aunties are in the next room if you need us."she said to my stomach. Vance and I laughed.

 

 

"I told you she might want to see him."Julissa said elbowing Lilah. Lilah gave Vance a vicious look before they walked out.

 

 

"I don't think Lilah is to fund of me."Vance chuckled.

 

 

"Lilah is just protective over her friends."I replied."How did you know I was here?" I asked curiously.

 

 

"Your brother told me."

 

 

"You talked to Khalil?"I asked surprised. Vance never made conversation with him without me around.

 

 

"No, Tyra."he said rubbing his head. Thing got quiet for a moment.

 

 

"So...um.. why are you here?"

 

 

"I came to take my girlfriend to breakfast."he answered nonchalantly.

 

 

"Girlfriend?" I questioned confused.

 

 

"Yeah. Aren't we still together?"

 

 

"I thought you didn't want to be with me anymore after finding out I'm ....you know."I said pointing at my stomach.

 

 

"Lauren I've had a crush on you since the tenth grade and I'm not going to give you up that easily."he said."Unless you plan on being with the baby's father."

 

 

"I-I'm not going to tell him about the baby."

 

 

"Why?"

 

 

"It's just better that way."

 

 

"I'll support you and help raise the baby."he said engulfing me into a hug.

 

 

"I can't ask you to take on that type of responsibility Vance."

 

 

"Lauren it's my decision and I chose to help. I have more than enough money to support you and a baby. Your my girlfriend and I love you."

 

 

"You love me?"I asked backing from his chest.

 

 

"Yes, I love Lauren Kirby."

 

 

"Aaaaaawwwwwww."Julissa and Lilah said crying. I should've known that they didn't leave. They are so damn nosey but I love them.

 

 

"So can I care for you and the baby?" Vance asked nervously waiting for my answer. I turned to best friends for the right response. Julissa nodded like a crazy person and Lilah gave me a thumbs up. I faced Vance once more.

 

 

"Okay."I replied. Vance brought me in for another passionate kiss. 

 

 

Vance and Julissa prepared breakfast instead of us going out. They made chocolate chip waffles with whip cream on top. Over breakfast I told Vance about my parents and how they don't know about the baby. He agreed to tell them with me. We decided to tell tomorrow at Sunday dinner. Logan might be there but I don't care. I left out telling him that Logan's the biological father. I don't think it's to important. Vance is my baby's father and that's official. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 8

 

Vance's POV

 

*Sunday*

 

 

 

Tonight Lauren is revealing her pregnancy to her family. Am I scared? Yes, I'm scared as hell. My anxiety is in full effect. I've sweated out five shirts already. I mean you would to if you had to tell Mr.Kirby ,a six five beast with dreads, you're the father of his soon to be grandchild. I know why put myself under that kind of pressure? I love Lauren and respect her decision to be a mom. My mom had me when she was sixteen and my dad left. I wouldn't dare let Lauren's baby our baby be fatherless.

 

 

Though I didn't have a dad I wasn't completely fatherless. My granddad assisted my mom in raising me. He still help raise me even now that my mom is married. Yesterday I informed my mom about Lauren and she cried but not because she was upset. She was proud of me and the choice I made. I took a deep breath as Lauren unlocked her front door. Together we prepared to enter. God please have mercy.

 

 

 

 

Lauren's POV

 

 

 

Unlocking my front door, I seen Vance body become stiff. I know he's nervous but he won't admit it to me. I've gave him a thousand chances to back out. Removing my key from the door I turned to him.

 

 

"Vance you can leave while you still have the chance." I said pointing at the driveway.

 

 

"Lauren for the hundredth time you can't get rid of me."he laughed. I could hear the nervousness in his voice.

 

 

"Are you sure?"

 

 

"Yes."he reassured me."Now let's go in before I starve to death." Nodding my head I opened the door.

 

 

"Mom! Dad!" I yelled coming through the front door.

 

 

"In the dining room sweaty."my dad shouted back.

 

 

Entering the dining room I seen dinner had began without us. Vance greeted everyone and they greeted back. Logan wasn't here. Everyone's digging into mom's broccoli and cheese casserole. It's my favorite but the smell is making my stomach flip. Night sickness now! Unable to hold back the nausea I rushed to the nearest thing to let it out. I puked into my mom's five thousand dollar vase that she got from Italy. Lifting my head from the vase all eyes were on me. 

 

 

"You just couldn't make this easy for mommy could you?" I muttered to my baby.Vance heard me and laughed. Putting the vase down I took a seat. Vance pulled my seat out for me and sat on my left. Everyone watched as I piled my plate with casserole. Khalil spoke first.

 

 

 

"Soo.... I heard you quit track."he said ignoring the fact I threw up in moms antique vase.

 

 

"Yep."I answered starring at my food. I couldn't eat it. My appetite was gone.

 

 

"Why would you quit running Lauren? You love to run."Wesley stated.

 

 

"Coach benched me for the first two track meets."

 

 

"Why would she do that?"my mom questioned.

 

 

"I'm not fast enough." Everyone laughed ,except for Vance, at what I said.

 

 

"Of course you're fast not faster than me but you're fast still." Khalil chuckled.

 

 

"Tomorrow you'll go and get back on the track team."dad said.

 

 

"Coach will not let me back."

 

 

"Yes she will you're her best runner."mom said.

 

 

"No she want."I retorted. I felt myself getting angry. Just then Logan walked in with the blonde from the carnival.

 

 

"Hi mom."he said kissing my moms forehead. "Hi dad."he said shaking my dads hand. "Everyone this is Kelly my girlfriend." He looked directly at me when he said 'girlfriend'. I rolled my eyes and brushed him off. If I could I would've given him the finger. What did I care if he was with her instead of me? He's nothing to me but a sperm donor. Taking a seat he spoke again. "So what was everyone talking about?"he asked.

 

 

"Lauren quit track but she is getting back on the team."Wesley said picking the broccoli out of his casserole.

 

 

"I'm not getting back on the team!"I exclaimed. 

 

 

"Coach Trish will let you back on. She adores you."Logan said adding his unwanted input.

 

 

"FOR THE FIFTYTH TIME SHE WON'T!"I yelled now fruastratedi Tears escaped down my face.

 

 

"Lauren she'll let you back on the team. There is no need to get upset." Khalil said. Vance kissed my cheek and rubbed my back.

 

 

"There is plenty of reason to get upset."I cried.

 

 

"Like what?" Khalil asked.

 

 

"Like even if she did let me back on the team I wouldn't be allowed to run?"

 

 

"And why is that?"dad demanded to know.

 

 

"Because I'm pregnant."I muttered.

 

 

"Got dammit Lauren speak up!"dad yelled banging on the table.

 

 

"BEACAUSE I'M PREGNANT!"I snapped. Everyone got quiet and starred at me.Tyra silently mouthed 'Oh shit'. Dad rushed from his seat and attacked Vance. Khalil and Logan tried to release dads menacing grip from around Vance neck.

 

 

"I'm going to kill him."dad said. That's all he could say. When they finally got him away from Vance mom tried to calm him. After about thirty minutes he was chill. Okay he was calm enough to stop repeating 'I'm going to kill him'. Tyra and Wesley took Vance and Kelly into the living to watch television.

 

 

"Now let's talk like normal people."mom said.

 

 

"There's nothing to talk about. She getting an abortion."

 

 

"What? No! I'm keeping my baby."

 

 

"NOT IN THIS HOUSE."dad hollered. He never hollered at me. I'm daddy's angel I don't get hollered at.

 

 

"Laurence calm down we don't even
