The Player's Baby

CHAPTER SIX

Austin's POV-

I was pacing back and forth in my room. I probably left marks on my carpet due to my pacing. I'm thinking how in the world am I going to tell my mom she is going to be a grandma? Last time I did this I was joking and she flipped out. If she does find out by someone else, all of the underworld is going to be let loose. And Hades will like that but Zeus won't. Yes I know, Austin Gibbson likes to read. Well, it takes me away from the drama in the real world.

"Honey," my mom knocks, "are you alright?"

I look up from my carpet to see my mom's head peaking in. "Yeah, I'm just thinking."

She sits on my bed and moves my underwear. "Well, it must be big if your pacing. Why don't you come tell me."

She pats the spot beside her and I instantly obey. I put my head in my hands and take a deep breath. "I got a girl pregnant."

"You what?" she gasps, "Austin, please tell me your joking?"

By now her voice is cracking. "No. I'm not."

I feel the bed shake and I know she is crying by now. I lift my head from my hands and wrap them around her. She continues to cry.

"Who is it?" she stops, "please tell me its not one of your sluts."

I look at her and see her brown eyes feeling with tears every time a new one drops.

"No. It's someone else," I took a deep breath, "it's this girl named Journey Farrel."

She gives me a look before she sighs. "I want to see a picture."

I stand up from my bed and go over to my desk. I log onto f*******: and go to Journey's page. I click on my favorite one where she is standing infront of a waterfall.

My mom looks at it and smiles. "She's pretty. Tell me about her."

I can feel my cheeks go red. I never expected my mom to ever ask this question. Where do I even start? "Well, she is on the honor role. She loves to help the SPED kids and she tutors."

She stands up with out saying a word and leaves. That wasn't so bad. All she did was cry. It's not like anything else can happen.

She comes back into my room with a blue jacket and her nikes. My mom works at the hospital and she still is in her nurse's outfit. Her black hair is curled and her piercing blue eyes went darker due to her jacket.

"I want to meet her," she zips her jacket, "I want to see who is carrying my grandbaby."

She walks out of my room leaving me speech less. It's like 6:24 and she expects me to drive her there when Journey could be asleep!?

"Austin! Get your butt down here now!"

I get out of my room but not before I grab my car keys. I slip on my red vans and take my mother's hand.

"Austin, you're going to freeze to death. Go get a jacket."

I throw my head over my shoulder. "No time, you are making me drive you. Get in."

I open the passenger side for my mom. She gets in and I shut the door. I go in front of the car to go to my side. As I get in I see my mom listening to some weird song that's from her 80's.

"How did you get the car on?"

I look at her and she gives me a small smile. "I guess you shouldn't leave them outside of the car." She cluffs her eyebrows.

I mutter swear words under my breath and start driving to Journey's. As we are driving, the song straight up by Paula Abdul came on and my mom started singing along.

We arrive at her place and my mom gets out of the car without shutting the door. I get out then shut her door and see that my mom has already knocked.

I stand over by my mom and wait for Journey to open the door. She opens the door and she is still wearing the clothes from earlier.

"Hey Journey," I point to my mom shyly, "this is my mom."

"Hello Journey, it's so wonderful to meet you," my mom says giving her a warm smile, "Austin keeps talking about you. You're even beautiful than he describes."

I blush as she blushes and looks at the ground. Wow, mom didn't expect you to say that.

"Would you like to come in? My mom is just making some hot chocolate." Journey says opening the door for us to come in.

We walk in and sit on the couches in the livingroom. Journey escapes and heads into the kitchen. I hear some words and then see her mom come out.

Her eyes go big before my mom and Journey's mom squeal.

"Oh my gosh! I haven't seen you forever!" My mom says standing up.

"Same! Come with me! We need to get the pictures."

I look at those two weirdly. Am I missing something? Do they somehow know each other? From school? From work?

They come back right before Journey comes back with the hot chocolate. She hands each and one of us them. And starts talking. She sits beside me and keeps chatting with my mom and her mom.

I feel my phone buzz in my front pocket. I head into the kitchen where no one can hear me.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby, want to come over?" a high pitch voice asks.

Who in the name of Zeus is this!? "Who is this?" I asked annoyed.

"It's Kelly. Know do you want to come over or not?" She says getting angry.

"You can't keep on calling me."

"Why not!" She says sadly but fake.

"Because I don't want to be with you anymore. And besides, I want someone else." Right now she is very annoying.

She keeps going on about how much I used to love her but to be honest, we never did anything.

"Kelly, just leave me alone."

I hang up the phone and lean on the counter.

"Who was that?" A small voice says.

I instantly know who it is. If Journey finds out about Kelly she will be very mad.

"No one."

Ouch. I think I was a little too harsh. I can see sad feel her eyes.

"Oh. Do you want anything to eat? I just came in to make me a sandwich." she says grabbing the pickles from the fridge.

I watch her eat the pickles and I'm utterly confused.

"What happened to the sandwich?" I ask chuckling.

"I guess I was just craving the pickles." she giggles.

I go over to her and smile. I steal pickle from her jar. And bite it.

"Hey! That's my pickle!" she says.

"Not anymore! It's mine." I bite it again.

She makes her way over to me. I think she is going to try and steal it back but instead, I get hit behind the head.

"Ow!" I clutch the back of my head.

She starts laughing at me but I just grab my cup of water and dump it on her head.

She comes and tries to hit me back but I stop her by crashing my soft lips to hers.
