Leaving the cave, going into the unknown

Three months had passed, I was now 5 months pregnant. I had told Tom and he was over the moon excited for Alan and I, he told me that if I needed any time off during or after the pregnancy it was no problem and I could work from home at any time. We also told the fans via Instagram and most of them were really happy for us, others weren’t but it was to be expected. Alan told his family and I told mine, his were extremely excited but mine couldn’t care less. They told me that I was ruining my life by being with Alan and he was going to leave the baby and I behind because of his ‘life style’. I ignored them; its what I’ve been doing my whole life because they never approved of anything I did and I don’t know why I would expect them to approve now. Alan left for tour 2 months ago and was constantly checking on the baby and I. At times it was cute, I got these speakers that go one your stomach so he could talk to the baby. At other times it was annoying; he would be on me about taking the vitamins and not lifting things at work. With a combination of him and Tom I was starting to get at my wits end, when I did want to pull my hair out I just remembered that it’s because they care not just to annoy me. I’ve been hanging out with Val more because she’s going threw the same boyfriend withdrawal that I am and she’s helping me decorate the nursery. We have only got things that were gender neutral like a black crib and some dressers but we weren’t going to paint until I found out the sex. Alan said he wanted to paint it the basic colour when he came back from tour and then I could add a mural, which I’ve always wanted in one of the rooms.

As exciting as everything was, it still wasn’t the same without Kate. Val was great and so were the guys but she was like my sister. Even though what she did was wrong and terrible, I needed her especially right now. Before it seemed like the biggest thing in the world but now that I get to carry his baby it doesn’t seem to matter to me anymore, nothing does. When I see a girl comment that I’m no good for him or she should be with him I just remember that I’m carrying a part of him in me at all times. No matter what happens between us we will always have a tie to one another. I walked up to my old house seeing that Kate’s car was in the driveway, and knocked. I stood at the door and waited until finally Kate opened the door with a shocked look on her face, I’m sure that seeing me was the last thing she thought was going to happen.

“Alex? What are you doing here? I thought you didn’t want to talk or see me again?” She asked, I could tell she was slightly uncomfortable with this situation.

“Well some stuff has happened and I really need you right now Kate, I miss my best friend.” I said while looking down at my shoes.

“Here come in and tell me what’s going on and we can talk about everything.” She put her hand on my back and led me inside to the couch.

“Well for starters I guess I should tell you that I’m really sorry for what I did to you. There was no excuse whatsoever and I’ve felt terrible ever since. I realized that I was scared of marriage and I should have said yes when Tom asked me but he hates me now; I got so scared and I was drunk and Alan was there. I regretted it the second it happened but it still did, I didn’t even think about you or the fact you were with him I was stupid and I hope one day you can come to forgive me.” She said through tears.

“I will grow to forgive you Kate, it’ll take time but don’t worry we can get past this. So I have some other news as well.” I said after giving her a long much-missed hug.

“What is it?” She asked.

“I’m pregnant! 4 months now.” I exclaimed, her smile shot up and we spent the rest of the day talking about the baby and what he or she would look and act like. It was like old times again and I was never so glad to have my best friend back.

Notes

Super short chapter really sorry i've just been really busy lately.
I got the job at the Disney Store but i turned it down because it was seasonal and they wanted me to take out my nose piercing. It was only for 15hr's a week and wasn't a for sure position so i don't think that's worth taking out a piercing over.
Anyway hope everyone is having a good week and i'm going to try and get a much longer chapter up tonight or tomorrow! What do you think is going to happen in the story????
