Billie's Secret, chapter 7
*November 9th*
Today we're going to my doctor's appointment. My morning sickness is gone; it feels good to not throw up every morning.
Billie has been pretty depressed since Adie left. They talk on the phone every day but he says it's not the same as if she were here. He said that she's coming back in April when I have the baby; we became really close while she was here.
"Mike, get up," I said and poked his shoulder.
He rolled over.
"Mike, get your ass out of bed; we have to leave in half an hour and I'm already dressed," I said.
He didn't move.
"Fine, I guess I'll have to get the coffee," I said and walked out of the room.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup. I poured some coffee into it and walked back into the bedroom.
I put the cup of coffee in front of his face and he woke up.
"Works every time," I said laughing.
"Shut up," he said and rubbed his eyes.
"My doctor's appointment is in half an hour; hurry up and get dressed," I said.
"OK," he said and took the cup of coffee out of my hands.
***
We got into the car.
"So, are we going to keep it a secret from everyone, or just your brother?" Mike asked.
"Just my brother; but we'll tell everyone else to pretend that they don't know," I said.
"OK," He said.
***
We pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. When we got inside the doctor took us in right away.
"How is everything?" she asked.
"Good; the morning sickness is gone," I said.
"That's good," she said.
I layed down and she put the goop stuff on my stomach.
"The baby is a lot bigger than it was last time," Mike said.
"Ya; cause that was 3 months ago," I said.
"So, what am I having?" I asked excitedly.
"You're having a girl," she said.
"I told you we were having a girl," I said laughing.
"OK, everything looks good, come back a month before your due date; that would be March 8th," she said.
"OK, we'll see you then," Mike said.
We walked out to the parking lot and got in the car.
"Are we going to tell Tré what we're having before she's born; cause it will be pretty hard to hide all the pink stuff," Mike said laughing.
"We'll see how long it takes for him to go crazy," I said laughing.
When we got home, Sarah was there.
"Hey Sarah," I said.
"Katie, can I talk to you?" she asked.
"Sure," I said.
"I'm going to Billie's; I'll see you later," Mike said and kissed me.
"OK," I said.
"And remember; don't tell Tré," I said laughing.
"OK," he said and left.
"So, what's up?" I asked.
"I think I might be pregnant," Sarah said.
"But... you... never," I said.
"Ya, actually we did; I just didn't tell you," she said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"Well, I was going to tell you the first time... but... I don't know," she said.
"You've done it more than once!" I screamed.
"Ya," Sarah said.
I hugged her.
"How many times?" I asked.
"4," she answered.
"4! I've only done it twice!" I exclaimed.
"OK... anyways, does Richard know that you might be pregnant?" I asked.
"No," She answered.
"Well you have to tell him; and hopefully he won't be an ass and break up with you," I said.
"Katie, you have Mike now, and he loves you," she said.
"I know, I know; and I love him too," I said.
"OK, we'll go tell Richard and then we'll go to the mall; I have to get some things, so we can just pick up a pregnancy test at the pharmacy," I said.
"OK," she said.
"We just have to go to Tré's to tell Mike that I won't be home later," I said.
We walked over to Tré's apartment.
"Hey guys," I said.
"What are you having? I know you had a doctor's appointment today and Mike isn't telling me," Tré said.
"We want to keep it a surprise," I said.
"Aww," Tré said.
"Anyways, Mike I'm not going to be home later cause I'm going shopping with Sarah," I said.
"OK, have fun," he said.
We walked outside and got in the car.
"OK, so let's go to your place," I said.
"OK," she said.
"We found out what we're having; do you wanna know?" I asked.
"But I thought you told Tré that you wanted it to be a surprise," Sarah said.
"Ya, but a surprise only from Tré; we're gonna tell everyone else and tell them to pretend that they don't know. Then we're going to see how long it takes for Tré to go nuts and then we'll tell him," I said.
"I can't wait to see that, he's gonna drive you guys nuts," Sarah said.
I laughed.
"So... what are you having?" Sarah asked.
"OK, the baby's name is going to be... Alex Lily Pritchard," I said with a huge smile on my face.
"You're having a girl!" she said.
"Yep," I said.
"I would hug you right now, but you're driving," she said laughing.
I laughed.
We pulled into her driveway.
*End of Katie's P.O.V.*
*Sarah's P.O.V.*
We got out of the car and walked up to the door. I unlocked it and walked inside.
"Hey guys," Richard said.
"Hey," we said.
"Um... Richard... " I said.
"Ya, Sarah," he said.
"I think I might be pregnant," I said.
"That's awesome!" Richard said and hugged me.
"We're going to the mall, so we'll get a pregnancy test at the pharmacy," I said.
"OK, I might not be home later cause I have to go do some stuff, and then I might go to Billie's," Richard said.
"OK, I'll see you later," I said and kissed him.
I grabbed my purse and we walked out the door.
*End of Sarah's P.O.V.*
*Richard's P.O.V*
I got in the car and started driving. I had the window rolled down and the breeze felt good.
"God, I'm scared. I'm also happy, but I'm scared," I said to myself as I stopped at a red light.
I know what will make me feel better!
"My milkshake brings all the girls to the yard!" I sang and tapped my fingers on the steering wheel.
*End of Richard's P.O.V.*
*Billie's P.O.V.*
I pulled up to a red light and noticed that Richard's car was beside mine. I was going to say hi when I noticed that he was singing. I started laughing.
"What the fuck?" I said.
"Richard, what the hell are you doing?" I asked.
He stopped singing and started laughing.
"God you're fucked up," I said.
"Don't tell Sarah," he said laughing.
"So... where are you going?" I asked.
"Well... I was going to do some errands but I really need to talk to you guys about something," Richard said.
"OK, well I'm going home right now, I'll see you there," I said as the light turned green.
*End of Billie's P.O.V.*
*Katie's P.O.V.*
We drove to the mall.
We were going to go to the pharmacy last so we went to all the other stores first.
"Aww, look at this outfit! It's so cute," Sarah said holding up a little pink baby outfit.
"That is cute," I said.
"We need to start buying stuff for the baby; maybe I should buy that," I said.
I ended up buying a couple of outfits and a blanket for Alex. We went to the pharmacy and then went back to my place.
*End of Katie's P.O.V.*
*Richard's P.O.V.*
I drove to Billie's. Mike and Tré were sitting in the living room talking.
"Hey Richard," they said.
"Hey," I said.
"What did you wanna talk about?" Billie asked walking into the room.
"Sarah thinks that she might be pregnant," I said.
"Oh my God," Billie said.
"But you guys... never... you know," Mike said.
"Ya... we did... a lot," I said laughing.
"Nice... but why didn't you tell us?" Tré asked.
"Um... I don't know," I said.
"OK, well, everything will be fine, remember, I'm going through the same thing, Mike said.
"Ya, everything will be OK," Tré said.
"Ya, thanks guys," I said.
I could tell that Billie was uncomfortable talking about this subject.
*End of Richard's P.O.V.*
*Katie's P.O.V.*
I was waiting for Sarah to come out of the bathroom. She was doing the pregnancy test.
A couple of minutes later she came out.
"I'm not pregnant," she said.
I hugged her.
"I'm glad that I'm not but I'm also sad that I'm not," Sarah said.
"What do I tell Richard?" she asked.
"The truth," I said.
"But what if he's mad?" she asked.
"Why would he be mad?" I asked.
"What if he really wanted a baby?" she asked and started crying.
We went to Tré's place to see if Richard was there.
*End of Katie's P.O.V.*
*Sarah's P.O.V.*
"Hey," we said.
"So?" Richard asked.
"I'm not pregnant," I said.
He came over and hugged me.
"That's OK, babe. We still have lots of time to have a baby," Richard said and kissed me.
"Let's go home," he said.
"OK," I said.
"Bye," we said.
"Bye," they said.
*End of Sarah's P.O.V.*
*Katie's P.O.V.*
I went and sat beside Mike on the couch. He kissed me.
"Well, that was enough excitement for me, today," I said.
"What did you guys do today?" Mike asked.
"We went shopping," I said.
"Katie!" Tré said.
"Yes, Frank," I said laughing.
He shot me a dirty look.
"Don't call me that, Kathryn," he said.
"You don't call me Kathryn; I don't call you Frank, deal?" I said.
"Deal," he said.
"Now, what do you want?" I asked.
"Are you having a boy or a girl?" Tré asked.
"We're not telling," I said.
"Why don't we just tell him," Mike said.
"But what about our plan," I said.
"Forget about the plan, your brother is driving me nuts!" Mike said.
I laughed.
"OK fine, but I have to go get something first," I said.
"OK," Tré said excitedly.
I went back to my apartment and got the stuff I bought today. Then I went back.
"OK, I'm not gonna tell you what I'm having, because I'm sure this will give it away," I said taking the pink outfit out of the bag.
"You're having a girl!" Tré said and hugged me.
"Ya," I said.
"Aww, Mikey, it's OK, you can still teach a girl how to play sports and skateboard," Tré said laughing.
I laughed.
"She's not going to be a total tomboy though," I said.
"No she'll turn out to be just like her Uncle Tré," Tré said proudly.
"No!" Me and Mike said at the same time.
Billie laughed.
"So you're going to call the baby Alex Lily Pritchard?" Billie asked.
"Ya," I said.
"Cool, that's a nice name," he said.
I could tell he was uncomfortable talking about the baby but he was going to have to learn to deal with it.
Today we're going to my doctor's appointment. My morning sickness is gone; it feels good to not throw up every morning.
