Chapter 24
Holy shit, she's
pregnant! Stacey thought, as she stared at the
girl. Omigod, Sams
parents probably disowned her.
Still unable to speak, she stared at Sam, who was fumbling with the hem of her maternity dress.
"Well, say something" Sam said, tears in her eyes. "I'm not a zoo animal, stop staring at me"
Stacey took a deep breath. Katie, grabbed a basketball and mumbled something that sounded like "Baketball" and left.
Nick came bursting into the room, his face flashing with excitement. "Stacey! Can I go play a quick game of B-Ball with-....Holy shit. SAMMY!!!"
Sam turned and looked at him. "Well, well, well, Mr.Carter. You finally won her over huh?"
Nick stood there, staring at her. "Well, you look.....your uh, you look.....well..." he started.
Sam snorted. "Fat? Well thanks Nicky, and so do you. But actually I'm pregnant. What's your excuse?"
Nick walked over closer to Stacey. "No! I didn't mean you looked fat. I'm just shocked that you're pregnant." Then realizing she insulted him, he yelled, "HEY!"
Sam laughed. "Your a quick one aren't you? Come give me a hug, your girlfriend, is quite content on ignoring me"
Nick looked nervously at Stacey and trudged over to Sam.
"You know Nick, you could like actually touch me, its not gonna pop out for at least another 6-8 months!" she exclaimed, as she kissed his cheek.
Nick turned red. "well, who knocked you up?" He blurted.
Stacey gritted her teeth. "NICK! GO OUTSIDE!!!!!"
Nick sighed, and gladly ran out the door.
Sam continued to chuckle, and glanced at Stacey. "You never wrote me back" she whispered softly, as she waddled to Katie's bed.
Stacey swallowed and threw herself down on the bed. "Omigod! Sam. What happened to us? I'm sorry I never wrote you back, but you were never in one place long enough. What did your parents say?"
Sam shrugged, as the tears began to flow. "They weren't supposed to know. See, I had just found out about it myself, when I was in Germany. I knew I couldn't have gained so much weight. Then my parents flew in to surprise me. Well, they got a BIG surprise. They almost killed me! My father offered to open my stomach with his army knife, and cut the baby out of me. I got scared, and ran away from them, and I booked a flight back here. I got a voice message saying that they have decided that they will stay in Europe for the remainder of the year, and that they will in no way support me through this. My life is over."
Stacey gasped. Afraid to ask the next question. "Who's the father. Does he know?" she asked quietly, already dreading the answer.
Sam took a deep breath. "No he doesn't. But I might as well get that over with. Can you get Nick back up here? I seem to have misplaced AJ's phone number".
