We’ll talk later, go deal with Josh.
Fine, I’ll call you later if I don’t see you.
K, bye. I hung up the phone.
You think we should tell our parents ? I asked shifting from one foot to the other.
Yeah we can.. He stopped. Your Dad wont try to kill me right ? It was an accident.
I make no such promises.
Alright I’m going to go call them, I’ll be right back.
I look through my contacts and I spot the number I’m looking for. It rings for a couple of seconds before I hear her voice. Hello ? Embre ? She asks. I haven’t heard her voice in a long time it seems like.
Hey mom, it’s me.
Sweetie, how have you been ? She sounded ecstatic and I hoped she was continue being in this mood after I deliver the news.
I’m good Mom, I’m good. Uh I have something to tell you.
Oh goodness, is it good or bad ?
Uh, good I think.. I’m not sure.
Alright then spill, I’ll let you know if it’s good or not.
Okay well.. I might be pregnant ?
It was silence on the other end of the phone. What did you say ?
I said I’m-
Yeah I heard that part, when did you have a boyfriend ? Are you two still together ?
Yes, it just sort of happened.
Happened ? Embre you finally lost your v card, I’m so proud ! I thought you were a lesbian.
Mom ! I exclaimed. What ? No.
I didn’t expect a baby to come from it ? So tell me was he experienced ? Did he know how to put it on right ?
Mom, I can’t believe I’m having this conversation with you ! I walked out the room from Landon’s hear range.
You’re the one that’s pregnant dear and I have five children, you weren’t a test tube baby.
Okay, I understand. I tried not to throw up in my mouth.
And when am I going to meet him ?
You want to talk to him ?
Sure, why not. I need to get to bottom of who knocked my little girl up.
It isn’t like that, I love him Mom.
Oh do you ? She teased. Who said it first ?
He did as a matter of fact. I said, walking back into the room. Here he is. I held the phone out to him.
His eyes widen like saucers before taking the phone from me. Hello ?
I couldn’t hear what my mother was saying but I hope she didn’t say anything out of the way but seeing his facial expressions, I could tell it was going semi great before he chuckled into the phone. Yes, I’m the Landon Hale as you put it ma’am.
No ma’am, it wasn’t like that. Yes. 26. I have good intentions, Mrs Daniels. Okay I will, give me a second. He pulled the phone away from his ear before he mouth that he would be right back and I stand planted no matter how bad I wanted to follow after him.
He returned a few minutes with a grin on his face and he handed me back my phone. You didn’t tell me he was a millionaire !
Mom, you’re a lawyer. You make good money as well.
Not like that I don’t ! If it wasn’t for me being on bed rest-
You’re not sick are you ?
Oh god no, I broke my hand.. how I did it I will not tell you but I should have been charged with assault, but any who your Dad should be back soon.
No it’s okay, I’ll call him myself.
He owes me his next paycheck. I could almost feel her grin from over the phone.
You bet on me ?
Yep sure did, your sister is becoming a pain in my ass though. She might have to be shipped off the military camp.
She wouldn’t survive.
It’ll teach her some manners. She countered back. What are you doing tomorrow ?
Nothing that I am aware of it. I watched Landon put on some jeans for the first time.
Well my medicine is kicking and I want you hearing me snore I’ll see- talk to you soon okay ?
Okay, I love you.
I love you too. And she hung up.
Where you going ? I asked, throwing my phone on the bed.
We are going to the doctors office, I looked up you need to be on prenatal pills or something ? We have to make sure the baby’s healthy.
Okay, let me get dressed.
It registered with me that this was actually real and I was about to go to my first doctors appointment in a while and it wasn’t because I was sick..
