Chapter 32
Anthony
“Let's go , I'm taking you to the hospital”
“I'm fine Anthony , just give me a few minutes”
“Are you sure you're okay”
“Yes babe I'm okay ”
She didn't want anything to eat so I took her back home. We ran into Jace and Crystal on our way up. When we walked into the apartment We were greeted by Rachel .
“Where have you been Anthony?”
“That's not any of your business”
“Oh really ,what happens when we get married ? Will you be doing that too? And Callie, where have you been ? Once a week you all disappear”
“Rachel you do realize that I have a life right? Besides planning your dream wedding every minute of the day I have to work also.I have friends to go out with. As for my brother and Crystal, that's their business.”
“You all can't just Decide to disappear, especially you Anthony ,were you all together?”
“We all met on the way coming up ,now Rachel excuse me , I've been working all night and I need some Goddamn sleep so if you're through with your bitching excuse me”
“Don't talk to me like that Anthony”
Callie
God she was annoying ,Jace and Crystal left. I tried to leave but she wouldn't let me.
“Callie, where have you been?”
“Callie you don't have to answer that”
“It's fine Anthony . I was over at Anthony's parents' apartment . I had dinner with his parents then I went over to a friend's place”
“I'm going to bed ”
“Wait, you were with Anthony's parents?”
“Yes Rachel , I was trying to convince his parents about yours and Anthony's wedding. Look don't get me wrong Rachel I'm doing everything to make sure you have a perfect wedding , But I have a life also I need to take a break from all the planning besides we've got two more weeks before the big day and I want it to be perfect”
“So you and Anthony aren't sneaking around”
“No Rachel we're not ,Now I need to take a shower and then we need to finalize some more details and that's it for the wedding reception”
“Okay ”
I left her and went straight to my room and locked the door then I ran to the bathroom and started throwing up again. I called Crystal and told her to meet me in my room. The minute she came in she knew something was up.“You don't look so good”
“Well except for the fact we almost got caught and I keep throwing up I'd say not good doesn't come close. I think … well I feel I may be pregnant but if I go to the drug store to get a pregnancy test all hell will break loose”
“Wait ”
She left then came back a few seconds later ,she locked the door behind her. “So I've been throwing up too and I Sneaked out yesterday and bought four of these .” Then she pulled the pregnancy test out of her pocket.
“Holy shit , Didn't you use it ?”
“No I'm scared ,I wanted to talk to you about it yesterday but by the time I got back you were already gone ”
“I'm scared too ,Crystal . Let's just do it and get it over with”
I took two of the tests from her and went to the bathroom. I peed on it then set it on the left side of the counter. I turned it down then walked back out.
“Your turn , we'll Check them at the same time, put yours on the right and turn it down so we don't get and instant heart attack ”
After she left I sat on the bed , thinking . After she came back out she sat next to me .
“What am I going to do if I'm pregnant Callie?”
“Nothing ,Jace will be okay with that. You'll be getting married”
“Oh god ,I don't know what the hell happened”
“I know what happened to me ,the meds I got screwed up me , but I don't know how to tell Anthony ”
“I don't know how to tell Jace ”
We sat for what felt like forever.“Let's check it ”
We walked into the bathroom , she looked at hers and I looked at mine.
“Let's get it over with At the count of three”
“1”
“2”
“3”
Double pink lines ,I was pregnant . When I looked at Crystal hers was the same ,she was pregnant too.
“What If Jace thinks I did this on purpose ,to trap him ?”
“Crystal calm down ,he won't I sure as hell don't. I've known you for years . just relax we'll tell them when we're ready ”
“okay ”
Anthony
It's been one week since Rachel almost caught us. I've been keeping myself busy so as not to spend any time around her. Next week I am getting married. I couldn't wait. I already had our wedding rings Crystal and Jace helped me pick one for her. Callie was acting differently ,and she looked different. I don't think anyone else noticed but I have. I was on my way to her. When I got to the apartment she was already waiting at the door for me. I grabbed her and kissed her.All throughout dinner she was Extra quiet. We were watching a movie .
“If I said I didn't notice , that would be a lie Callie,I notice everything about you,every little detail . Aren't you happy?”
She turned and looked at me.“Of course I'm happy Anthony”
“Doesn't seem that way ,for the past week you've been extremely quiet and pulling away from me. Have you changed your mind? You don't want to get married. Or Did I do something wrong?”
“I still want to get married , it's just”
“Just what Love ,talk to me . I'll fix whatever it is ”
She got off the couch and headed into the bedroom then came back a few seconds later and stood in front of me .
“I'm Sorry Anthony, please don't be mad .I didn't plan this ,it just happened. I didn't know how to tell you ”
What was she talking about?Did she sleep with someone else?No she wouldn't do that , she pulled something out from behind her. And handed it to me , the minute I saw it I knew exactly what it was. I was fucking waiting for this . I started laughing ,I couldn't help it. I pulled her down onto my lap and kissed her.
“I've been waiting for this ”
“What do you mean”
“Well If I remember correctly ,I told you you're going to give me a child and on a different Occasion you said to “Fuck a baby into you so here we are”
“You knew I was going to get pregnant?”
“Yes ”
“Dammit Anthony you had me scared out of my mind to tell you”
She tried standing up but I just held her tighter.
“I'm sorry baby , I'll make it up to you I promise. I love you Callie ”
“I love you too. Crystal is pregnant too . she's telling Jace tonight”
“Hmmm , How's the wedding planning?”
“It's perfect , your mom is enjoying it ”
“Your wedding dress ?”
“Everything is on track. I've got ten people helping me pull this all together . I've already sent out our wedding invitation ,also Rachel's her's is half an hour after ours ”
“What do you have planned for her?”
“I'm going to ruin her completely , she'll never do that shit again”
“Fair enough”
“Anthony ?”
“Yes love ?”
“Your mom won't tell me where we're going for our honeymoon moon”
I started laughing ,I kept that to myself only Jace knew too . I made him swear not to tell her.
“It's a surprise baby girl ”
“Fine . I'll be busy all week next week and just a heads up I'll be meeting some men but you have nothing to worry about it's about Rachel”
“I'm not worried love ”
