The Player's Baby

CHAPTER TWO

"Are you ever going to tell you know who that he is the father?" Destiney asks me as she moves her feet side to side on the counter.

Right now we are currently in the bathroom during lunchtime. It all happened by my morning sickness.

"Can you be quiet? I don't want anyone knowing that Austin is the father and that I am pregnant!" I say rinsing my mouth.

She gives me the look you-better-not-use-that-tone-on-me-again. And I instantly feel bad. I have been very bitchy due to my stupid pregnancy hormones.

"Sorry." I mutter before drying my hands.

"When do you go to your doctor appointment?" She says jumping off the bathroom counter.

"Today at 6:30."

We head out of the bathroom right when Kelly Shawn is about to enter. Kelly Shawn is the schools slut pretty much. She probably has had sex with every guy in the school including Austin.

She gives us a smirk before going into the bathroom with her clones right behind her tail.

"Wow. Does she ever not look slutty or bitchy?" Destiney ask opening the door to the library.

"Nah. I think only when she is getting it on." I say wiggling my eyebrows.

She giggles and starts getting her math textbook out. Finals is soon and then we finally be able to graduate. Graduation. That one thing that I have been looking forward to. To be able to go to college. But I can't. Know that I'm going to be having a kid soon.

"So what would it be? Journey?"

My thoughts got intrupted when a flying hand kept flying in my face.

"What? Sorry Destiney." I give her a small smile.

"What are you thinking about?" She says closing her textbook.

"Well, I was thinking, you are going to college and then Johnny is and I'm going to be stuck in my house having my baby. I won't be able to do what I want." I say looking down.

Before she can even answer our bestfriend Johnny comes to sit with us.

"Oh my god. It's chaos out there! And it's only 6th period!"

Johnny, Destiney and I have two free periods because we are on the honor rule and we are tutors.

"Why so John?" Destiney says giving him a smirk.

Johnny narrows his eyes at Destiney and gives her the I-told-you-not-to-call-me-that look before he continues. "I guess there is some posters on the wall. And Austin looks pissed." He says opening up his textbook.

"Dest, lets go take a look?" I say closing my textbook for history.

She gives me a nod and we head out of the library. All over the lockers and walls are blue, purple and pink posters. I grab one off the wall and read it.

Schools nerd Journey is PREGNANT! But get this, she is saying the baby's daddy is none other then AUSTIN GIBBSON!!

I show the poster to Destiney and she looks at me with big eyes.

"Who did you tell?" She says looking pale.

"I didn't. Someone overheard us in the bathroom." I say going pale.

"Oh my god! Look it's Journey!" A bystander says getting the others attention.

"Journey! Why don't you come up here and tell everyone."

I get pushed over to the center of the semi-circle and I see a very pissed off Austin and a very pleased Kelly.

"So Journey, care to tell us?" Kelly says smirking my way.

"I'm pregnant." I say looking down.

"And who's the father?" Kelly voice asks with fake concern.

"Austin." I say.

"That's bull shit! I think I would know who I have had sex with! Your just one of those sluts who say that to get attention!" Austin screams.

I look up at him and his face has anger all written over it. I can feel tears forming in my eyes. I let them fall and I start running to the bathroom.

I can't deal with this right now. I run to the bathroom and head straight to the toilet. After I'm done puking my guts out I head to the sink. I can't believe he would say that. It's pretty clear that he wants nothing to do with this baby.

"Journey. You need to come out. Everyone is gone." Destiney says behind the door.

I go over to the door and unlock it. I walk out with my bag and head to the school parking lot. I go over to my car and unlock it.

"Destiney, tell Mrs. Hawkins that I went home sick." I say before leaving the parking lot.

I thought I was heading home, but instead I pulled up to the park. I sit on the bench and watch the little kids who are too little to go to school play on the playground.

I can't believe in a matter of weeks I could be them. Have a little kid with me. I can't do it. I can't raise it alone. Sure, theres alot of mothers out there that are single, but they didn't get humiliated by their baby's father infront of the whole school!

"Journey, can I speak to you?"

I turn my head and see the one person that I personally hate now.

"What do you want Austin?" I say turning my head away from him.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened at school. I knew that it is my kid and-"

"Then why would you say that? Why would you say that to the whole school!" I say.

By know, everyone at the park is looking at us weirdly. Some adults got their kids and made them leave.

"I'm sorry. It's just I- I didn't know what to do! I can't be a dad at 18! I still have college!" He says looking at me.

"Well at least you can go to college! I have to wait! I understand that you want nothing to do with it. Go live your life. My kid can live without it's father, I know I have." I say picking up my bag.

"And Austin, I have a doctor appointment at 6:30. You can come if your interested." I say getting in my car.

I get out of the park and head to my house. The song Remember When by Alan Jackson comes on and I start breaking down in tears, for some bizarre reason.

I walk into my room and plop down in my bed. My mom isn't home. Shes probably at the hospital. My mom works there and comes home every other day sometimes.

I take my mathbook and start studying. By the time I finish one unit it's already 6. Well I better get going because Austin isn't.

I grab my keys from the my desk. Before I leave I grab myself something to eat. I grab myself a apple and walk out to my drive-way.

I was going to lock my door but something caught my attention. A black silver mustange is running in my drive-way.

The engine cuts off and Austin gets out of the car. His black v-neck is flowing in the wind and his dark jeans are fitting him perfectly.

"I'm going to take you." He says grabbing my keys and locking the door for me.

"Thanks." I say.

I walk behind him and wait until he gets in. I'm hestant to get in but Austin pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Don't worry. I don't have sex in cars." He says.

I sit down, and I rest my head on the window. I watch the trees pass by and I start thinking.

My little son or girl will be doing this when I take them out for lunch or to the park. A small smile creeps onto my face.

"Why are you smiling?" Austin asks looking at me for a while before looking back at the road.

"I'm just thinking, how our son or daughter will be looking at the trees pass by." I say.

He chuckles and warmth flows the air. For some reason.

We arrive to the doctors office around 6:20. Just in time. I walk in and a lady that looks in her 20's is eying Austin. I feel this feeling in my stomach and I don't know what it is. I know its not the baby.

"Hello. How may I help you?" She says looking at Austin.

"Um. Hi, my girlfriend has an appointment at 6:30."

Wow. Did Austin just say that I'm his girlfriend?? The lady looks at me and narrows her eyes and I just smirk.

"Okay, just wait here and Dr. Larson will be out soon."

She hands Austin a clipboard and we take a seat. He hands me the clipboard, and puts his hand in my left.

"You don't have to act like I'm your girlfriend." I say writing my name.

"Well, the lady keeps looking at me and it's creeping me out." He says.

Once I'm done filling out the papers I take the clipboard to the lady. I sit back down and I take Austins hand.

"She keeps looking at you." I say as I play with his fingers.

He gives me a soft chuckle, "Are you jealous princess?"

"Princess?" I say turning around and raising my eyebrow.

"Journey Farrel."

Ah man! I won't be able to find out why he called me that. I stand up and grab Austins hand. We walk to where the other lady called me.

She takes me to a room and starts up a computer.

"Hello Journey, I'm Dr. Phillip. Dr

Larson will be in here shortly. But first I'm going to take your blood pressure." She says giving me a warm smile.

She takes my blood pressure and checks my lungs and rights it down in a file.

"Okay. Dr. Larson will be in here shortly have a nice day." Dr. Phillips gives us one last smile then she leaves.

"Was it just me, or was that doctor high?" Austin asks talking for the first time in the room.

"I think she was just happy," I say playing with my fingers.

For some reason I have been playing with my fingers lately. I hear a knock and a male doctor comes in.

"Hello, Journey. I'm Dr. Larson. And you must be the father?" Dr. Larson asks Austin reaching his hand out.

"Um yes." He says reaching his hand out as well.

They shake hands and then Dr. Larson goes over to the sink and washes his hands. He then goes over to a monitor that has a little stick.

"Okay. Journey, can you lift up your shirt for me?" Dr. Larson asks turning in his chair.

"Okay. I don't feel comfortable with her doing this Doc." Austin says coming over to me.

"Austin, he is only going to take a picture of the baby with this thing," I say pointing to the monitor.

"Okay. Fine," He says, "only if I can stay here."

"Yes, you can," I say giving him a warm smile.

Dr. Larson chuckles to his self then puts this cool gel my stomach. He puts this stick like thing on it and moves it around the gel.

"Well, I'm not going to lie. It's a healthy baby. It has ten fingers and ten toes. If you look over here," Dr. Larson says breaking the silence, "you can see the head."

I can feel a tear roll down my cheek. I hold Austins hand. I can't believe it. I can actually see my baby.

"So when will you be able to find what the sex is?" Austin asks.

"Hmm. By the looks of it, probably in 2 months." He says giving us a smile.

He wipes the gel off and I pull my shirt back down. I sit back up and my vision goes black for a little bit.

"Okay, I'm going to go print the pictures. Do you want one Austin?" Dr. Larson asks taking his gloves off.

"Yes, please."

Dr. Larson leaves and I smile. "Why did you cry?"

"Because I got to see our child," I said smiling up at him.

I and Austin start talking and getting to know each other. I didn't know Austin and an older sister who just had their first kid which was a boy.

"Alrighty, here are your pictures, and Journey I expect you to eat healthy food and I'll see you in 6 weeks." He says smiling.

Austin grabs my hand helping me get off the bed and we walk out to the waiting room. Looking around I feel like the youngest one here. The lady behind the desk is gone and I can feel Austin breath with joy.

We get into Austin's mustang and he heats up the car.

"Are you hungry?" He asks me while putting his seatbelt on.

"Yeah. Can we go to Arctic Circle? I'm craving a shake."

He chuckles and gives me a quick nod. We head to Arctic Circle and I get a small Cookie dough shake with extra cookie dough and Austin gets a small Oreo shake with extra Oreo.

We eat our ice cream and we leave off to my house. We arrive in 10 minutes and somehow I feel sad. Spending the evening with Austin was really fun.

"Thank you, Austin. I had a lot of fun." I say giving him a hug.

"Same Princess." He says kissing my cheek.

I get inside before Austin can see my cheeks flush.

Who knew that Austin Gibbson was a sweet guy.
