Teenage Pregnancy (part 2)
A continuation to the last one shot by Obsessive_Fan_Gurl because YES. (I did not write this)
Abi's POV
"Betsy, come on, shhhh go to sleep, Mommy needs her sleep," I tried to lull the crying baby in my arms back to sleep without waking my parents, but apparently she wasn't having any of that.
I was swaying around the kitchen when I heard Lin's voice behind me. "Baby troubles?"
"Sorry did she wake you?"
"No no, I'm still trying break out of Sebastian's leche routine. I can't believe he's almost three." He chuckled, opening his arms and taking Betsy from me. "Hey Nieta. Shhhhhh, why so many tears? Hmm?" I collapsed into one of the chairs at the table as Lin started singing in Spanish and slowly rocking Betsy back and forth. She soon stopped crying and silence settled around us.
Tears began to flow down my cheeks as I realised I wasn't very good at being a parent, hell I was 16 and still heavily relied on my parents. Well my adoptive parents. I'm such a burden to them. Perhaps it'd just be easier if Betsy and I left. I could get a job and an apartment or something, but I couldn't leave Betsy alone.
"Hey hey, Niñita why are you crying?" Lin whispered, trying not to wake Betsy again. "Mija?"
"I'm a horrible mum and a horrible daughter." I whimpered.
"Oh no peanut, no no you're not, you're a great mum, and an even greater daughter." He hugged me from the side and kissed my forehead. "I'm going to put your little one to bed then come back and talk to my little one," he kissed my forehead again before heading into the nursery. I buried my head in my hands and let the tears flow. It had been a whole year since the attack. A whole year of panic attacks, a whole year of flinching away from any guy who got a little too close. A whole year of doctors appointments and not leaving the house unless completely necessary.
Lin returned to the kitchen and began to make tea.
"It's a year today..." I whimpered.
"I know," he sighed. "Look Abi everyone has bad days you have no idea how many times Vanessa and I had to call my parents in the middle of the night because we couldn't get Sebastian to sleep. And there's been nights when you've had a nightmare and I can't help but think I'm a horrible parent."
"But I'm just a child, I don't know how to be a mom and she's going to grow up with out a father. And... and... I don't want her to not know who her dad is."
"Do you want Luke to be a part of her life? To be a part of yours?" Lin asked in a serious tone. "Do you want that man around your baby?"
"No off course not." I snapped. "Why would you suggest that?"
"Because I wanted you to realize something. Not all men deserve to be fathers. One day when Betsy is a little older she'll understand, but until that day she'll have a great mom, and some abuelos who will spoil her."
"And some great bisabuelos to keep her abuelo in check." I nudged his shoulder with mine.
We moved onto the couch and sat and talked while finishing off our tea.
"How about we visit my parents tomorrow while Vanessa is at work? I have the day off." Lin yawned as he put our empty mugs on the coffee table.
"Mmmkay," I mumbled snuggling further into the couch.
"I think my little one needs to go to bed," Lin chuckled.
"I wanna stay here for a little longer," I mumbled
"Fine," he grabbed a blanket and curled up under it after throwing another one over me.
Vanessa's POV
I woke up to Sebastian trying and failing to climb into my bed. "Where's papa?" He asked as I sighed and lifted him into bed with me. He normally always climbed in on Lin's side of the bed and snuggled in between us. It was my favourite part of the morning. And it's gonna be a sad day when he stops wanting to cuddle with us. I roll over facing Lin's side and notice it was cold.
"I don't know buddy," I sighed, "why don't we go find him." I stood up and wrapped my arms around him and pulled him onto my hip.
We were walking past the nursery when Betsy started crying. "Oh, oh" said Sebastian.
"Should we help her and let Abi sleep?"
"Yeah," he nodded, we entered the room I put him on the ground and picked up Betsy. "Mama," Sebastian said and I glanced down at him holding Betsy's stuffed elephant out to me. I smiled down at him and took the elephant and played with it above Betsy until her tears stopped and she grabbed it and began to suck on its ear.
"Come on Seb lets go make breakfast."
"Okay." He giggled and ran into the kitchen. I followed and found him in the living room giggling and pointing at the couch. "I found papa,"
Seb was right he found Lin and Abi curled up on the couch both wrapped tightly in a blanket. Tobi was snoring away happily at Lin's feet. "Why don't you wake them up and I'll start breakfast."
Sebastian nodded and jumped onto the couch right near their heads. "Papa, abi wake up, wake up." I chuckled as I walked into the kitchen and placed Betsy in her high chair before starting on breakfast for everybody. I could here Lin and Abi laughing as Sebastian squealed. "Papa stop, papa," he giggled. Lin laughed and Sebastian came running into the kitchen only to be scooped up by Abi as she and Lin followed him into the kitchen
"Don't worry Seb I'll protect you." She laughed. "Come on Dad, you gonna take on the both of us?"
Sebastian was now on Abi's back, and he stuck his tongue out. "Yeah papa"
"Vanessa do you see this?" Lin pointed an accusing finger at Abi and Sebastian. "Our children are ganging up on me,"
"Oh no I'm not getting in on this, you started it you end it."
"Charge!" Yelled Abi, with Sebastian still on her back, as she ran at Lin. He shrieked and ran away before hiding behind me.
"I have a mummy you can't attack me" Lin smirked holding my waist so I couldn't get away. I winked at Abi and Sebastian before turning around in Lin's arms and began tickling him. "Okay okay truce, truce I surrender." He laughed as I began tickling him.
"Good cause breakfast is ready," I replied kissing him.
"Ewwww." Called Sebastian and Abi at the same time, which caused us to pull away and laugh.
I placed a stack of pancakes on the table as Lin got the plates and cutlery and abi poured a glass of juice for everyone with Sebastian still on her back. She placed him in his seat as I grabbed some baby food out of the fridge for Betsy who had been laughing and clapping along to the morning shenanigans. Abi placed the elephant on her lap as she began to feed Betsy occasionally eating a piece of pancake her self. Eventually everyone finished and loaded their plates into the dishwasher. I quickly got ready for work and gave my children and grandchild a kiss on the head and lin a kiss on the lips before leaving.
Abi's POV
"To the abuelo's," Lin called as we got into the car.
"But first coffee," I said laughing. We pulled at the coffee shop and all got out lin had Sebastian on his hip and I had Betsy on mine. "What do you want?" I asked Lin as he sat down at a table with Sebastian, outside of the shop.
"Coffee, 1 cream 5 sugars," he smiled. How he took that much sugar and didn't act like a hyperactive 5 year old I did not know, but who I am I kidding? He always acts like a hyperactive 5 year old.
"Hey welcome to Rockfords, what can I get you," the barista smiled.
"One Vetni white mocha with cinnamon with two shots of espresso, and one regular coffee with 1 cream and 5 sugars, also 2 cookies,"
"Okay," he smiled, "and can I get a name?"
"Abigail," I smiled back.
I walked away to the pick up part of the counter and bounced Betsy on my hip lightly humming to her. The coffee shop was busy but I could see Lin through the window trying to take a selfie with Sebastian. Apparently it was for personal use, because he was trying to get Sebastian to look at the camera. Selfies with Lin usually meant don't look at the camera and Sebastian knew that, so photos of them usually worked better if either Vanessa and I took them.
"Abi is that you?" I turned to look at who spoke to me and internally groaned. Luke.
"Leave me alone,"
"Thought maybe you died after our time together, you never came back to school."
"Sorry just didn't want to deal with you, now can you just leave?"
"Who's this little kid? You didn't leave school cause of me," he laughed, "you left school cause you got pregnant. What a little whore, too busy filming for '16 and pregnant?'" How many guys did you go through before one of them knocked you up?"
I was struggling to breath and Betsy had started crying, but I wasn't going to let Luke see me cry. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction.
"Sir I'm gonna have to ask you to leave," the barista from before came over to us.
"Why it's a free country and I haven't even ordered my coffee yet,"
"We have the right to refuse anyone service, and you are harassing this young lady,"
"She your girlfriend or something? What does it matter to you?"
"Sir, I've only just met this woman now. I'll ask you to leave one more time before I call the police."
"Fine, I'm leaving, and don't expect me to be coming back to a place with such crap service,"
Luke stormed out and I began shaking uncontrollably. The barista grabbed Betsy from my arms and wrapped an arm around my shoulders leading me outside. I leant my back against the wall and slid down it my tears now flowing freely.
"Abigail, who was that?" The barista asked crouching down to my level still holding my baby, who seemed quite content chewing on the strings of the baristas apron.
"Abi, what happened?" Lin rushed over with Sebastian in his arms.
"Luke." I muttered slowly getting my breathing back to normal and wiping away my tears. I stood and wiped my hands on my pants. I reached my hands out for Betsy and cuddled her close to my chest. "Thanks, sorry about the baby slobber,"
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked,
"Yeah thanks umm.." I just realized I didn't actually know his name.
"Kevin," he smiled, "why don't you guys sit down and I'll bring your coffees out to you?"
