Love Is All That Matters

I rolled over on my side staring at the pink walls. Oh not again I ran to the bathroom. I wiped my mouth when I finished. I brushed my teeth and my phone rang.
"Hey."
"How are you feeling?"
"Nauseous."
"Morning sickness?"
"Yeah."
"Well I made an appointment at the ObGYN place for us later."
"Okay I gotta go I'm starving."
I went downstairs and mom and dad were already at work. I opened the cabinet and poured myself a bowl of Lucky Charms. I wondered why I haven't noticed sooner well I do wear my uniform 95% of the time and has polyester support. I sighed as I put my bowl in the sink. We both screwed up big time but I'm the one who gets fat and let's face it child birth! I guess I should get a job I cannot tell my parents they will kill me and my baby. Their perfect only child knocked up. Shit!! I can't go to cheer today not unless I want to puke as they hoist me up on top of the pyramid.I sighed can skip one day. I wrapped my hair in a messy bun I was practicing dance
moves and I darted towards the bathroom. Second time today lovely. I got in the shower and put
on something modest so no one won't expect anything. I put a headband in and drove to DX to meet Soda. Him and Steve were goofing off showing each other.
"Do you and Sandy want to go out with me and Evie later?"
Soda looked at me.
"We don't mind."
"You ready?"
I nodded.
"Tell Watson I'm taking the rest of the day off."
"Oky buddy."
He messed up Sodas hair and we left to his car.
"Are you scared?"
I nodded. He kissed my hand assuring me I'm not alone. He parked the car and we went inside. Pregnant ladies were there with their husbands looking happy that they're pregnant. While 2 scared teenagers stuck out like a sore thumb. -.- Soda went up to the front desk.
"Curtis,"
She handed him a clipboard. He handed it to me and I filled it out and he handed it back. Someone poke her head out.
"Sandy?"
We got up and she led us to a room.
"I'm freaking out."
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Yeah right."
The doctor came in.
"Don't be afraid."
The doctor sat down and turned the machine on. She pulled up my top and poured that goo stuff on it.
"Alright this might be a little cool to the touch. Don't worry at your ages there's nothing that can go wrong."
I sighed in relief.
"Awesome."
"Speaking of your ages have you given any thought of what you're going to do after the baby's born?"
"Whatever Sandy wants is fine."
"Well if it makes a difference it's a girl."
Soda kissed my hand and stared at the monitor there laid my baby, our baby, our little girl. He wiped tears off his face. She printed out a picture of the baby for us. Soda left the room as I cleaned myself up. I quietly shut the door. Soda smiled at me and we went in his car he dropped me off at my house. I decided to take a walk to clear my head. I cried as I held the sonogram to my chest it's all too overwhelming. 10 weeks 10 freaking weeks along. I saw Evie so I ran away sobbing she caught up to me damn her for being on track.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant."
I explained everything to her and cried into her chest. Afterwards I got ready for our double date at the drive in. How convent we saw Juno. After the movie I cried in the car.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want to be like that. Where you don't love me and just stick around because I'm pregnant."
"Sandy I love you and I will never leave your side."
He brushed a piece of hair out of my face and kissed my cheek.
"Our love is so strong we could get through anything including this." Soda said smiling.

I Don't Know What I Want

I inhaled as smoothly as I can trying not to cry again. He took my hand and kissed it.
"Wanna stay for dinner?"
I managed to smile. "Yeah I'm starving."
"Lucky for you Darry's cooking."
I stifled a laugh. He took my hand and lead me to the kitchen I was still in my uniform from cheer camp from school. I'm captain of the cheerleading squad, I thought to myself. All for nothing all for fucking nothing. Darry was behind the stove with steak on the grill, mashed potatoes, and greens. Usually appealing to me but the smell smelled awful. How I was for the past 2 months just thinking it was a bug. Some bug. It rose in my throat and I felt my nails digging into Soda's skin as I resisted. I made a beeline to the bathroom.
"Is Sandy all right?"
"Yeah I will go check on her."
He held my hair back as I puked. I groaned afterwards and Soda held out a cup of mouthwash. I spit it in the sink.
"Are you gonna get a..."
His voice trailed off. I shook my head. He knows I'm completely against them.
"Dinner's ready."
I nodded and wiped my mouth. Darry had a grin on his face and set down dinner.
"Feeling better Sandy?"
I nodded. "Yes much better."
"y'all scared me I thought little Sode here got you knocked up."
The color drained from my face. Our eyes locked knowing it's all over. Darry laughed.
"Soda is afraid of his own shadow he wouldn't get the head cheerleader pregnant."
"Yeah funny."
I took a bite of my meat and scarfed the whole plate down.
"Wow your eating like you're eating for two there. I'm going to get you more food."
Pony and Johnny walked in and Soda made the I will kill you sign. They kept their mouthes shut. We finished up and went back to the living room.
"Should we make an appointment at the doctor or something?"
I shrugged.
"Everything will be okay."
He kissed me.
"I highly doubt that they will kick me out when they find out."
" I gotta tell Darry."
"No Soda you can't. Promise me you won't."
"Sandy..."
"Soda he can't know about our situation."
Our eyes locked and soon enough our lips locked.
"I love you Sandy and I love our baby."
"I love you too."
I cringed at the word baby.
"I should start heading home..."
"Or you could spend the night here."
"The last time that happened. Well look where I am now."
"True. I'll walk you to your car."
I got up and we walked to the driveway. I wiped tears off my face.
"Do you want to keep it?"
"Do you?"
"Well yeah. Sandy I love you so much words can't describe. Sure all of us will work harder but it's all gonna be worth it."
"Oh Soda. I love you so much."
We leaned up against my car kissing.
"Good night Sandy."
I waved to him and kissed him on the cheek. I drove off everything could get better that is if we survive telling my parents.

Yup I'm Screwed Big Time

I hugged my knees to my chest as tears slowly fell down my face. I bit my lip as fresh tears fell down. No one was home that day we got carried away. I stared at the 3 positive tests on the sink. But that wasn't our first time doing it. I wiped my tears off my face and heard my parents laughing down the hall. They will kill me once they find out. I looked at my cheerleading pictures on the walls I will get kicked off then I will have nothing. Poor Soda they're just barely surviving on their own they can't raise a baby. It's been over 2 months since we last had sex. Oh God! Am I showing? I lifted up my uniform top and saw a small bump I put my hand to it. I'm fucked really fucked. I should have noticed it before the weight gain, constant hunger, morning sickness, it's all too much. I need to tell him. I shakily picked up my phone.
"Hey babe."
"Can I come over?"
"Of course."
I hung up the phone and drove to his place. My uniform felt tight on my stomach. I got out of the car and fixed my hair and makeup. He answered the door his brown hair messy.
"Hey."
He leaned in for a kiss but I tensed. He took my hand and led me to the living room.
"You said you wanted to talk?"
"Yeah. We might have a problem..."
"And what could that be?"
His famous grin was on is face making him irresistible.
"Im pregnant."
"Are you serious?"
I nodded.
"I'm really scared."
"How far along are you?"
"Maybe over 2 months..."
His face paled and I started crying again.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's okay we will get through this together."
I tried to crack a smile but I broke out in tears all over again.
