Al's Point of View

″AL, where are you?"

″Nowhere"

When she heard my voice she opened the door to our bedroom.

"What are you doing in here? Look baby I'm so sorry I didnt want you to find out, and especially not like this, god not like this. ″she said sitting down on the bed next to me.

I don't know why I acted like such a child by stomping off. I was shocked, to say the least.

″Why didnt you tell me″ I said still not looking at her.

She was still staring at me, and when I finally looked up after she hadn't answered it looked like she was on the verge of crying.

What kind of asshole would I be to just let my girl cry?

I moved her over close to me, where she lay her head on my shoulder, before saying,

″I couldn't"

"What do you mean you couldn't?"

"No, it's more complicated than that. I couldn't tell you. I just couldn't."

After she said this she was quiet for a while. I was about to ask her again when she finally spoke.

″I was afraid. I was afraid you were going to leave. I was afraid I couldn't raise a child. I was afraid you couldn't raise a child. I was afraid you were going to stop loving me. I was afraid that you wouldn't look at me the same. We just got back together, we just said I love you, I was afraid all of that love would go away. My heart couldn't handle that. Yes I know, it was selfish to you and the baby. And I'm so sorry for not telling you, but you having the reaction you had just confirmed my thoughts.″

"What?"

I couldn't understand. Why would she think this? did I really not communicate that much for her to know that nothing could stop me from loving her?

"Baby.." I continued, pulling her closer to me and running my hand through her hair.

" I couldn't leave you if I wanted to. I cant. I love you. I don't say that to make you happy or just to say it. I say it because it's true. What you do to me woman, god, every time I look at you, hell every time I feel your presence, think about you I melt into a fucking puddle. I'm not mad at all, I just wish you would have told me when you found out, we could have celebrated together. Instead, I've been such a dick making you do all this stuff. No baby I messed up, and I am so fucking sorry, so sorry. I could never leave you. The thought of losing you freaks me out so bad. It's like thinking about the end of everything.″

When I said this I felt my shirt become wet, but when I looked down I realized it was Hannah crying on my shoulder.

"So that's it? you're not mad? you don't hate me for not telling you?"

"No, never, I am going to respect and be supportive of whatever decision you make for this child," I said wiping off her tears.

"oh about that, it's kind of a little too late for that″

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm already two months and a couple of weeks pregnant"

"WHAT?" I shouted removing her head and standing up from the bed.

"Hey, you said you weren't mad, you can't renege," she said standing up to, with a tiny smile that I could tell she was trying to hide.

"Well yeah that was before I knew you were about to have the baby in like what,2 weeks"

After I said this she started laughing hysterically. So hard she fell back on the bed, which I didn't understand because I was dead serious. I stood where I was and looked at her seriously.

"What?" I asked not getting the joke.

She looked up at me and had a shocked look.

″Oh, oh my god, you're serious aren't you?″

″Yeah, why wouldn't I be, this is a serious matter Hannah, that baby could pop out any minute now"

She was still laughing as she got up from the bed and started walking toward me. Hannah grabbed my waist trying to bring me closer.

"Oh my sweet, but dumb baby. You know I wonder how you were able to become an investor."

"How the hell does that help? You're still going about to be in labor, shouldn't we be driving to the hospital now instead of you insulting my intelligence, cause it seems like your the one being dumb woman, I'm trying to help the baby"

"Oh really, I'm the one being dumb? Says the guy that believes a child is born within two months of pregnancy"

"Aren't they?"

"No you dumbo, it takes nine months" she snapped, and before getting off of me popped the back of my head.

"Oww, god damn woman. Fucking man hands ass. And how do you know, it's not like you've had a baby before?"

"Because it's just common knowledge babe. Haven't you watched movies? or you could just look it up" she said flopping on the bed. She had changed into her nightgown some time after we arrived, so now it was bunched to where I could see her smooth thighs.

I sat back down on the bed and rubbed them saying,

"Or I could look up something else if you know what I mean"

I felt her shiver as she sat up and pushed the gown smiling.

"Yes I know what you mean, and no my best friend and whatever that is is in the living room."

"So, she could go feed some goats or something, and David he can do something it's not like he listens anyway"

"Gross, no, and does this mean we're having a baby?″

″Well, that's up to you angel. Like I said I'm happy with whatever you want."

"I want to have it. I wanna have the baby Brick"

"Oh thank god, thought you were going to say no for a second," I said blowing a breath.

"Wait so you want to have a kid? It's a lot of responsibility Brick. You would have to take off work, change diapers, clean up vomit,cle..."

"Shhhhh," I said covering her mouth with my pointer finger.

"It's fine, we will figure it out, now stop babbling."

"Okay, but I have a question?"

"what?"

"Do you think we're going to be good parents? Like actually, you know we don't have any experience. It's not like we had parents that stook around long enough for us to ask for help. What about grandparents? What will we say if they ask about their grandparents huh?"

"Honestly I don't know the answer to that. we made it fine without them, right? And since both our parents are dead, there is nothing to worry about, not to sound harsh. But baby, you shouldn't be worrying about that. Right now all that matters is this baby. Not their grandparents, aunts, nieces, or whatever. The goal is to have the baby first right?″

"Yeah, I guess your right. But I do have to warn you, there will be a lot of mood swings throughout this pregnancy. I read a couple of books, and I am honestly scared for you" Hannah said warning me with a smile.

"Trust me, ill be fine. There's not a lot I haven't seen from you. Your unpredictable, so most of the time I have to be prepared for whatever mood you're in"

"Good, now come on, I'm sure Jules and David are probably dying of boredom," she said grabbing my hand trying to pull me up. It was no use I was way too big for her to do it so I just got up on my own and put my arm around her while she opened the door.

"What the hell?" I shouted as Blondy and David came falling to the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Hannah yelled with the same shocked and confused expression as me.

Hannah's Point of View

"Uh, we were definitely not listening to everything you were saying hahaha," Jules said standing up along with David.

"Yeah we're looking for the bathroom, damn no need to get all mad"

"Really? you were looking for the bathroom. As many times you've been to my fucking house without ever asking, and you don't know where the bathroom is, get your nosy ass on" Brick argued walking past them, pulling me with him because his arm was still wrapped around my shoulder's

"So, YOU GUYS ARE HAVING A BABYYYY"Jules shouted jumping up and down, and clapping her hands.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTTTT," Al said mocking her and clapping his hands, jumping up and down.

I hit his arm saying,

"Stop"

Jules gave him one of her signature death stares and said,

"You know I really hope that child doesn't have an ounce of you in them. "

"And what's that supposed to mean blondy"

"I don't know, between the big forehead, overly sized feet, and that face they might just turn out to be Shrek."

"Jules, stop"

I got out from under Brick's arm and made my way to the couch where David was sitting watching ghostbuster.

"When did yall start hating each other?" David said as Jules sat back down next to him.

"Oh please, I always hated that son of a bitch.That's my brother that liked him. "

"Who's your brother blondy?"Al asked from the kitchen.

"You know my brother asshole, Andrew Carson"

"Andrew Carson?" Al and David both said gasping at the same time.

"What?" I asked

"Andrew went to highschool with us. Senior year.″

″Oh"

″Yeah, anyway, I'm tired so yall need to get the fuck out."

"yeah I am too, not trying to be rude or anything, but you know"

"Ok bye Hannah I love you girl," Jules said grabbing her coat and purse, David following behind.

"Bye bro" al said getting up to do one of those weird handshakes guys do.

Once they left it was already 2 in the morning so I and al decided to go to sleep.

Al's Point of View

When I woke up this morning I didnt see Hannah anywhere. She hadn't been in bed, the kitchen, the bathroom, not even the cabinet she hides in sometimes. I was about to call her when I found a note on the nightstand.

"Good morning sleepyhead, since you had to go back to work today, I know a bummer, but you'll be fine, I made some breakfast for you in the fridge and a snack. I also am probably out with Jules. I'm taking her to meet my new friends. Oh and since its Tuesday I have to work a shift at the diner tonight so ill see you when I come home, I'm running out of space on here so bye, love you"

Great, no morning kiss, she's basically saying she doesn't love me anymore.

Hannah's Point of View

"So what are they like?"

"They're not animals Jules. They are regular people. My friends. I was lonely you know, and they helped me in a lot of ways, especially with the hotel. So consider them special. Oh and one of them reminds me a lot like you, you guys are definitely going to hit it off, I know it" I responded as we entered the art cafe.

As many times I had been here, the owner gave me a key to the back room, so I didnt have to ask.

We finally made it to the backroom, and as soon as I opened the door everyone started with the question they had been dying to know.

"How'd it go?"

"Did you guys get it?″

"Did he come home?″

"Hello to you guys too geesh"

"Oh sorry, dear, who's the beautiful lady on the side of you?"

"Hi,im jules,im hannah's bestfriend"

"Oh, she's told us so much about you"

"Really?"

"Yes, you and that little fella Al Capone"

"BITCH.ENOUGH ABOUT THAT, NO OFFENSE JULES"

"None taken girl″

"GOOD, SO DID HE GET IT? WHAT HAPPENED?″

"Yes Ruby, he got the hotel″

"YES″

"I knew it″

″Why wouldn't he?″

″Ehh he could have worked harder″

″good job‴

″she did all the work″

"'oh and um Jules, could you tell them ″

"SHES PREGNANT"

"What?" Monica J said the loudest. That was the loudest she had spoken. Ever.

″Yeah. Well, I had been pregnant for two months already, but I just told Al yesterday, so it's official. Were having a kid said smiling at all the shocked faces.

‴What's her name?″

″is it a he or she?′

″what's going tot be the name″

‴What was his reaction?″

"DAMN BITCHES I DONT THINK SHE HAS THE ANSWER TO ALL THOSE″

"Okay, well tell us about you missie"

"I don't think you have the time for me"

"Trust me Jules they do. I asked that same question, now they know almost everything about me. They live here"

"Oh well, alright then, might want to sit down for this one"
