Who Loves Ya Babe? Billie Joe That's Who!, chapter 3

* Authors note: I messed up the dates and ages the year that Meg finds out she's pregnant is 1988 so she and Billie are 16. And they are 17 when they have the baby and the year is 1989.*


Billie's eyes went wide. "What!?"
I was now crying. "This can't happen I'm only 16! I'm not old enough for this!"
I couldn't believe what Billie Joe had just said, he was acting like I wanted this to happen. I was fucking pissed. "How do you fucking think I feel!? I'm 16 too Billie!"
Billie looked at me. "You're older than me! I can't do this, I don't want to do this!"
My jaw dropped, and I shot up and stared at Billie. "FOUR FUCKING DAYS OLDER BILLIE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T DO THIS!? WHAT DO YOU THINK I CAN? DO YOU THINK I'LL BE LIKE 'OK BILLIE I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T WANT A KID THAT'S OK I'LL JUST DO IT MY FUCKING SELF!' IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK!?"
Billie stared at me, I could see the anger in his eyes. He opened his mouth to yell back at me but instead he simply stated in the calmest voice he could. "Yes Meg that's what I think. I know I'm not ready to have a baby and I guess you are so I'm just going to leave and you can do whatever you want with this kid."
Tears streamed down my cheeks, Billie walked over to the door. Before he left I said. "Well I'm not ready either."
Then, before he could say anything else (and I knew he wanted to) I closed the door in his face. I walked into my bathroom, turned on the water and sat in the tub (fully clothed) and curled up into a ball and cried.

Billie Joe tried calling me over the next month, he would knock on my door hoping I would answer. At school he would try to talk to me but I would ignore him and talk to only Mike and Tre. They of course knew about the baby and our fight, they tried to talk to me about it but I would just say that I didn't want to talk about the ' Demon baby' ( because I didn't have a name and didn't know what it was I called it that, mainly because the baby reminded me of Billie.) Billie hated it when I called the baby that, I could see him wince every time I said it. "Meg go talk to Billie, can't you see how depressed he is?"
I looked at Mike and Tre, they both looked at me. I sighed and looked over at Billie he was sitting at the lunch table all alone he did look depressed. The popular girls had jumped when they found out he and I had broke up, you see Billie is one of the hottest guys in school and I'm one of the hottest girls in school so the boys jumped too, but neither of us said yes. Ever. "Ok I'll go."
I walked over to Billie and sat down across from him, he was writing in his notebook. "Look there is nothing wrong with me so please just go away."
He thought I was one of the preps. "Too bad I already know what's wrong."
He stopped writing, and looked up. His jaw dropped. "Meg I'm so fucking sorry. I really am I promise never to be like that again. I... "
I cut him off. Everyone saw we were talking and was silently listening. Billie and I looked around the lunchroom. "Billie let's go out to my car and talk."
I got a BMW from my mum for my birthday. She knew about the pregnancy and was disappointed but was happy that Billie Joe was the father. As she put it. 'At least he's not a crack head like your old friends where.' That's my mum for you though. "Meg why did you want to talk to me out here?"
I sighed. "Because I don't want the whole fucking school to know that I'm pregnant!"
Billie smiled. "So are we back together?"
I smiled, this is what I wanted for the whole month. "Yes Billie. We are now a couple again. I just feel bad for the preps they can't ask you out anymore."
Billie smiled and kissed me. "Yeah but I always turned them down."
I laughed. "Yeah me too. The boys kept asking me but I didn't feel right being pregnant with your baby and all."
Billie frowned. "Are you still going to call the baby that name?"
I looked him strait in the eye. "No Billie I hated that damn name."
He laughed and kissed me again. "I know this is really soon but I think we should move in together for the baby."
I frowned. "But my place has only one bedroom. We'd have to buy a new house."
Billie shrugged. "Well we've got 8 months, right?"
I shook my head. "Yeah. Hey I have an appointment tomorrow. Do you wan to come with me?"
Billie shook his head. "Sure."
He smiled.

Over the next few months things went well for Billie and I, in March I still wasn't showing which was good. By the time April rolled around I started to show and you could tell that I was pregnant (I wasn't that big but I was notorious for my flat stomach so even the little bump could be seen and noticed.) but I think my dad was helping me out because the whole months of April and May, it rained, so I could wear baggy sweat shirts. (Thank you Daddy!). What I was also happy about was that school got out in May so I was safe till October (my due date). Being pregnant wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, yes I didn't like the morning sickness and the changes to my body where surprising but for the most part everything went well. When August came I didn't go back to school instead I had them mail all my work home and I would sent it to school with Billie everyday, people of course asked about me and why I wasn't there Billie just said that I had a 'surgery' and couldn't come to school because I was 'recovering' Mike and Tre found that quite funny but never laughed in school. October finally came, I mean I enjoyed being pregnant to a certain extent but by that point in the pregnancy I was ready to have the baby. Billie and I, well I decided to keep the baby's sex a mystery Billie of course protested but I simply said. "Billie if you where pregnant than you could find out what you were having but I want a surprise so it will go as I say."
Billie looked confused. "But ... but ... but."
I sighed. "Billie this is not an arguing matter, the decision has been made and I will not change my mind."
Billie wasn't happy but at least the time passed quickly for his sake. "Well if we can't find out what we're having than can I pick a name?"
I looked at Billie. "Of course, but we need a boys name and a girls name both with middle names Billie."
He smiled at me. "I know Meg, I know."
We both sat there thinking of a name, I looked through a baby names book and Billie just thought. "If we have a boy I think we should name him Sebastian Jakob."
Billie looked at me like I was crazy. "Sebastian? I mean Jakob is good but Sebastian??"
I frowned. "Well I thought we could call him Seb or Sebbie for short."
Billie sighed. "Well we might as well just name him Seb."
I was in the arguing mood maybe it was my hormones. "I don't want to call him just Seb, I want to name him Sebastian and have Seb be his nickname!"
Billie just shook his head. "OK Meg, Whatever you say babe."
I smiled. "So have you thought of a girls name yet?"
He shook his head again. "Well for a middle name I think Rose would be nice."
I nodded in agreement. "But I haven't found a first name."
I looked though the baby names book. "Well I'll help."
Billie and I looked for a name. I saw a name that caught my eye but decided to keep looking but my eyes always went back to that one name. "Hey what do think about this name?"
I pointed the name out to Billie. "Adeline. Hmm I like that name. Adeline Rose."
I smiled. "I like it."
Billie nodded. "Yeah me too. So it's decided then? Adeline Rose if it's a girl and Sebastian Jakob if it's a boy."
I nodded. "Yeah."


Billie Joe and I where cuddling on the couch. It was a Saturday so Billie didn't have school, we where watching a movie and I decided to get drinks and popcorn. "Babe do you want some popcorn and soda for the movie?"
Billie looked at me. "Babe you just sit back and relax, I'll get it and besides you shouldn't be up and around in your condition."
I rolled my eyes. "Billie you know I hate that, I can do it, and it's not hard to make popcorn and get sodas from the fridge (Billie and I found a four bedroom house over the summer.) It's really not hard, trust me babe."
Billie smiled. "Ok but call me if you need any help."
I laughed. "Ok Billie I will."
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed two sodas from the fridge, I put them by the bowl that I took out for the popcorn. Suddenly I felt this sharp pain in my stomach, I put my hand on my bump and grimaced as the pain shot through my body. Then I felt liquid run down my leg and knew my water just broke. "Billie!"
I screamed. Billie Joe came running into the kitchen. "Meg what's wrong."
Stupid question. "My water just broke Billie."
He looked at me. "I'm having the baby!"
I screamed. Billie's eyes widened. "Oh shit, I'll go get the bag."
He ran upstairs and grabbed a bag of my clothes and baby clothes. We drove to the hospital after calling my Doctor. We went into a room and I had to change into a hospital gown and they hooked me up to monitors and stuff like that I wasn't really paying attention because the pain was all I was focused on. As the hours went by a nurse would come in once an hour to check my progress, so mainly Billie and I just talked about the baby. "I think it will look like you."
I said in-between a contraction. "No I think it will be a mix of both of us. Then it will be equal."
I laughed, but was cut short by more pain. Just then a nurse came in and saw that I was ready to push and with in minutes more nurses and the doctor came in. "Ok Megan When I say, I want you to take a deep breath and push. Ok?"
I shook my head and the doctor said to take a deep breath and push which is what I did. The pain was terrible but I didn't say anything, I had learned that complaining doesn't really get you anywhere at least in my experiences.


A few hours later


"Come on Meg push."
Billie Joe said as he held my hand. "Why don't you fucking push Billie Joe?"
Billie leaned his head close to my ear. He had written me a poem for our one year anniversary of meeting and it was entitled 'Who Loves Ya Babe? Billie Joe That's Who!' I'm not going to write it down because it's a bit graphic. Billie repeated the first line in my ear. "Who loves ya babe? Billie Joe that's who!"
He whispered this again. "Billie I love that poem but at the moment I'm trying to give birth to your child so if you don't mind, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Billie just smiled. I was going to yell at him again but there was even more intense pain. "Megan one more strong push and you'll have this baby."
Said the doctor. "Come on Meg One more babe, you can do it, come on."
I pushed with all my might the pain was unbearable and I kinda screamed a little bit and then the pain stopped. I had my eyes squeezed shut and when I opened them Billie was looking at the nurses who were cleaning off and wrapping up a crying baby. I looked at Billie and he smiled at me. "You did great Meg."
I was exhausted. The nurse finished wrapping up the baby in a blanket and the doctor handed it to me. "Congratulations you have a beautiful healthy baby girl."
I held our new baby girl and looked down at her. She opened her eyes and we both saw that she had Billie's bright green eyes and his face, but she had my jet black hair. Mike, Tre and Ollie came in. "Oh my god she's beautiful."
Said Mike as he held her. "I'm your uncle Mike."
Tre walked up beside Mike and looked down at her. "And I'm your uncle Tre."
We all laughed at Tre's goofy smile. Ollie was next to hold her. "So what's her name?"
Billie and I looked at each other and then to Mike, Tre and Ollie. "Her name is Adeline Rose Armstrong." I smiled.
"Awe that's a cute name." Said Tre in a girly voice. We all laughed again. I looked at Adeline and smiled our baby girl born on October 15, 1989. A few days later we brought Adeline home. A week after Adeline was born I went back to school and Ollie watched Adeline during the day. As I walked to my locker this preppy popular girl named Stephanie Walked up to me. "Oh my gosh Meg how did your surgery go? Did you recover well?"
I had forgotten that Billie had told everyone that. "Umm I'm fine everything went well. Thanks for asking."
She smiled a fake smile. I hated her. And I hated being back in school, I wish I could just stay home with Adeline. But of course things are just becoming happy again and something will happen to fuck it all up.
