“I’m pregnant,” I admit.
“What are you going to do?” she asks, not skipping a beat.
“I’m keeping it.”
“No, I mean where are you going to live?” she snaps.
“W-what?” Never had it occurred to me that I wouldn’t be able to live here. I mean as long as I paid rent, then why couldn’t I?
“GIRLS!” Laurie-Ann shouts and calls everyone down to the living room for a meeting. I follow suit, taking a seat on the couch while she proceeds to tell everyone I’m pregnant.
It’s a chatter of questions and accusations being thrown at me while I try to answer them all. Of course dodging the most common one, who is the father? They are all angrier than I expected and Laurie-Ann stands smugly, looking at me. Does she want me to move out that badly? What the hell is her endgame?
“You can’t live here with a baby,” Rose points out.
“That’s months away,” I say.
“There’s no reason you should stay now, you’re already a month behind on rent. Let’s just call it a day, you need to find somewhere else to stay,” Laurie-Ann says sassily. With a flutter of agreement from my roommates, that’s how I find myself packing all I own into two suitcases and showing up on the doorstep of my future baby daddy.
Chapter3
12 weeks…
“What, are you moving in?” Jace chuckles at the sight of my suitcases and me standing on his doorstep. It’s enough to make me instantly start bawling my eyes out.
“Oh shit, here.” He pulls me in for a hug and picks up my bag, leading me into the living room.
“I’m sorry.” I sob quietly. Wiping my eyes, he waits for me to say something, but I’m at a loss for words.
“I’m just a little confused. What are you doing here?” He raises an eyebrow.
“I’m pregnant. And my parents cut me off so my roommates kicked me out. I have nowhere else to go.” I try not to cry again, but this whole situation had made me full of tears.
“You’re pregnant?” Jace’s jaw drops. “But we used a…”
“Did it break?” I ask, and Jace’s mouth clenches.
“I-I thought maybe you were on the pill. I swear I put it on right.”
“Well, I wasn’t. And now I’m pregnant. So I hate to ask this of you, but can I please stay here until I figure out my next step?”
“You can stay here as long as you need.” He pulls me in for another hug and I’m surprised.
“Really?” I look at him.
“Really. I’m not about to kick the mother of my child out on the street.”
“Okay.” I nod but I am starting to feel a little lightheaded by the whole situation.
“Come on.” He holds out his hand and I take it. Ignoring the small butterflies I feel as it intercepts mine.
“Do you have roommates?” I look, around expecting to see more people.
“I don’t. The team has their own house, but I got this one so I could make sure I can keep my grades up. If I flunk anything, I can’t play,” he explains. I nod and he shows me to his room. Memories of our first night together flood back instantly.
“I don’t have another bedroom or anything so you can stay in here and I’ll sleep on the couch until we figure things out.” He smiles.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to put you out.” I sigh.
