The Player's Baby

CHAPTER SEVEN

"I can't believe she died! She and Stefan belong to each other!" Destiny screams at my TV.

We just got done watching the season finale of season 6 of the vampire diaries. If you haven't noticed were stelena fans. Don't get me wrong, Delena is alright but she belongs with Stefan. Like they were so perfect in the first episode but then stupid Damon had to make his way in and work his "charm".

"Honey, you need to calm down, it's just a show." My mother comes in and stands in front of our TV.

What the honeysuckle! Did she just say that this was just a TV show! I understand that she is old, but that doesn't mean she has to take on my dreams! "Mom this is not just a show! This is life! If you saw a shirtless Salvatore brother walking in the street you would run after them!"

She takes the remote from my hand and turns off the TV. She turns around and scowls at me and Destiney.

"You girls need to go to the store and buy me these ingredients."

She hands us a paper that has all sorts of crap on them. She leaves the room to get the car keys and I grab a pen from the coffee table and write down skittles before she comes back with the car keys.

"Don't come back until you got everything!" She pushes us outside and slams the door in our faces.

I can't believe I just got kicked out of my own house! I grab Destiney's hand and start dragging her to my car.

Once we get everything on the list I made a quick stop at Artic Circle to get me a cookie dough shake.

"Journey when's the baby due?" Destiney asks me while she puts a starburst in her mouth.

"Um, well I'm three months next week, it's November, so June. Why?" I ask handing the lady my 5 dollar bill.

She hands me my ice cream and I drive off. If only Destiney liked Ice cream.

"Then, for your birthday, I'm gonna buy you a flippen membership card for your birthday!" She says throwing me a starburst.

I throw back her starburst and continue to eat my ice cream. "But why for my birthday?"

She laughs really hard after I say that. I'm pretty sure the cars next to us could hear her and think she was dying.

"Because your birthday is next month! December 14th!" She says as if I lost my mind.

"I know. I wouldn't forget my own birthday. But are you even sure Arctic Circle has a membership card? Like it's so low but it has amazing ice cream." I say putting the red spoon back into my mouth.

She nodded her head as she agreed with me, which was odd. She never really agrees with me when it comes to ice cream.

"What are you doing for your birthday?" She says putting a yellow starburst into her mouth.

I put the spoon into my mouth one more time to feel the milky ice cream melt into my mouth. I start eating the cookie dough and put the ice cream cup into the cup holder.

"Nothing. I can't have a party because of the baby, probably sit home and watch Netflix with ice cream."

She turns towards me and raises her eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

She seems like it's a crime! I'm pregnant for god's sake! I can't do what I usually do! It's hard for me! I'm only sixteen!

"Yep. I can have you and Austin come over. You guys can come to my doctor's appointment on the 13th and then we can find out the s*x of the baby!" I say trying to cheer her up.

It worked. I actually got her to cheer up. I feel bad that we won't be able to do what we usually do and that's going to a club and drink, but I have to be safe and if that means to break traditions, well, I don't know what else to do. I mean, I could go to a club, but I would kill the baby and I don't want to do that. I want my baby to be healthy and be able to do what the other kids get to do.

"Okay! As long as I can throw you a baby shower! Since I can't throw you a birthday party." She says excitedly but also bummed out.

"That's fine by me cupcake." I wink at her.

She groans out as I make fun of her nickname that her brother gave her when she used to eat cupcakes all the time.

We arrive at my house and hurry into the house before it starts to rain on us.

As we enter the house there is someone sitting on the couch. He was wearing a bright blue shirt, jeans and had a baseball cap on. Next to him was a boy that looked like the man sitting down.

"Journey, can you come sit down," my mom says, "and Destiney would you be a dear and go put everything away?"

Destiney nods and then hurries to the kitchen. I sit down close to my mom on the other love seat.

"Journey, I would like you to meet James and his son Kyle. This is your father and your twin brother."
