The Secret The Cheerleader Doesn't... - Chapter 47: Chapter 47

For the rest of our high school career James and I stayed together. It was filled with sex, popularity, and slutty chicks. I spent most of my days trying to fight them off with a stick and the other part losing the extra fat on my bones. When graduation came around, we both found ourselves in a serious situation.
I was pregnant.
"That can't be true," I muttered, staring at the stick with two lines. Biting my cheek, I did three more tests... only have those stupid lines appear again.
Laying in my bed, I stared up at the ceiling... empty. I couldn't think, I couldn't articulate words or sentences.... I just stared blankly at my ceiling... hoping another answer would arise.... A different outcome.
James wasn't ready for a baby. He had school, internships and a life ahead of him... he wasn't ready for this baby. It could ruin all his dreams... his aspirations.
I can't have this baby.
But to kill it is a sin.
Tears fell from my eyes. What could I do? What can I do? He'll leave me... or I'll ruin his life. I can't have this baby, but I can't kill it.
Adoption?
It floated around in my head, having an echo effect and all. That was the best choice. Hide the truth as long as I can, maybe full term. Many women hide their pregnancies. If I workout a ton and only have fat because of the baby, I can probably look about ten... maybe twenty pounds heavier than I currently do. I mean, James will hate me getting fat and will probably tell me to lose it, but that won't take long. I can easily drop that weight in no time after I get rid of the baby.
Since I'm eighteen, I don't have to worry about my parents and just do some research on the adoption shit.....
Yeah.... That's what I'll do.

The next month was a piece of cake. Flat stomach still, little change in my attitude, and no side affects... however, around the fourth month morning sickness settled in.
Every morning I was springing out of bed to puke. Luckily my family was either at work or sleeping during those times, so they never caught me.... But how could I escape the truth when James stayed over?
I could feel it rising up my throat, threatening to come spewing out as I pushed myself up and rushed to the restroom. Not even thinking about the boy in my bed. Hurling over and over, I focus on the stinging... the disgusting taste in my mouth afterwards.
Finally feeling like my puke fest was over, I sat back and flushed the toilet, letting myself relax a bit.... But then he asked, "Why are you puking?"
Instantly my eyes widened and I got to my feet, "It was this thing my mom made recently. It's still in my system and I've been sick over it."
Sighing, he stepped into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. I watched as he leaned back against it, his arms crossed, "So what's the real reason?" I just stared at him... hoping to god he would drop it... that he'd get bored and want to do something else like sex..... but that wasn't happening. "Hazel... when was your last period?"
"I'm sorry," I said, tears forming, "I know you can't have this right now.... I know this will ruin your plans and be a burden on you. I thought about getting rid of it but that's a sin, so I decided on adoption instead... I just wanted to do it silently so you didn't have to worry. I promise this won't effect you in anyway.... I promise so please don't leave me."
"You were thinking of aborting my baby?" He said, taking me back, "You then decided to put it up for adoption?"
"I thought it would be best because you have to college and have so much to do... a baby would be a burden," I mumbled.
He chuckled a bit, "This is why I don't pay you to think Hazel.... My family is loaded, I'm not even paying for college. Yes, it's an inconvenience - especially at this time - but how could you even consider those options? Even decide one without informing me?" I hung my head in shame. I should have gone to him... should have told him.... Asked him what he wanted. He rubbed his eyes, "We're keeping the baby. Don't even waste space in your head about adoption or abortion." I nodded, a slight happiness coming over me. "I start school in two months, so the wedding will have to be in a month or so."
"Wedding?" I choked up.
He gave me this face, telling me I'm stupid, "There is no way my child is going to be born out of wedlock. Of course we have to get married. Getting married during the school year will be bothersome since we couldn't have a honeymoon, so we have no choice but to have it in a month."
My head was spinning a hundred miles per hour.
First he accepted the fact I was pregnant.... Didn't question whether the baby was his or not.
Second he decided to keep me, even though I do everything wrong and don't deserve him.
Thirdly, the best part, he is saying he will marry me!
Happiness overflowed in me as I hugged him. He just sighed and complained, but I was ecstatic. I was going to finally be Mrs. James Winters.
Sorry for the late update everyone. Life has been hectic! Hope you enjoyed this update!
