“Briiian!” I moaned out as he pushed into me on finale time, releasing himself before he laid next to me. I continued to pant as I looked up to Brian, he wasn’t looking at me. In fact he stood up, pulling on his clothes. Pain shot through my heart, tears welded up in my eyes. “Brian? Wh-where are you going?” I moved towards him, clutching the sheets to my chest. He didn’t answer me, he just walked out the door. I continued to sob, as I looked down at my stomach I noticed it was larger, like I was 5 or 6 months along. “Brian I’m pregnant!” I shouted to him. He didn’t come back, nothing could make him come back. Fear coursed through my body.

My eyes opened, a sigh passed my lips. It was just a dream, then why did it feel like my reality? I looked to my side to see a sleeping Benji. I had almost forgotten yesterdays events, everyone knows I am pregnant. Well almost everyone, I’m not planning on telling anyone else. Especially Brian. I got up and stretched before I made my way down stairs, I could hear Val, Matt and Jimmy talking in the kitchen.

“She isn’t going to want you guys fighting, you know that. It is only going to put her and the baby under stress, which is not healthy!” Val stated trying to reason with them.
“I don’t care Val, Aidan she is like my baby sister, and sure Brian is my best friend but he used her…and now she’s pregnant what do you want me to do?” Jimmy replied to her, aggression in his words.
“You should do what ever she wants you to do! That goes for you too, Mathew!” Val stated, getting louder as she addressed Matt.
“Okay, okay.” he sighed, “If it does mean keeping her and the baby healthy I’m all for it. I’m just saying I think she should tell him the sooner the better.”
“Well ultimately that is her decision and we will all support her for whatever she decides!”

I decided to make my presence known. “Good morning everyone!” this caused the three of them to look up at me and smile or wave. “Everyone sleep ok?” I asked pouring myself some orange juice and then taking a seat next to Val. They all nodded, becoming very quiet almost uncomfortably quiet. “sooo…..” I started out.
“Oh I called and scheduled you an appointment, for the baby. So we can get you checked out and get you started on vitamins and such.” Val smiled at me.
“Oh thank you Val, when is it?”
“A week from tomorrow.”
“Are you telling Brian?” Matt busted out. I looked at him, as well as Val. I honestly didn’t have an answer at this very moment. I was leaning towards not telling him this early.
“I…I don’t know.” I looked down at the ground “I want to, I want nothing more then to tell him he is going to be a father, but he loves Michelle. How could he ever love someone like me?” I hoped off the stool I was sitting on and slumped back to my room.

Brians POV

This was not my idea of a spur of the moment vacation with Michelle. We fly all the way to fucking New York, for me to sit in a fucking pent house suite while she goes and maxes out my fucking credit cards….We could have stayed home for this shit. I sighed as I continued to flip through TV channels, my mind drifting towards the one person it shouldn’t be. Aidan, she’s plagued my thoughts and I’ve become a person I swore I’d never become a cheater. So maybe getting away from her and everyone else was a good idea. To give me time to try and remember why I fell in love with Michelle, although now that we are here it’s harder then ever. I remember the last time she and were together, intimately. Michelle and I had just finished our usual cycle of an argument and make up sex. What had scared me the most was I almost called out Aidans name when Michelle was sucking me off. That would have been horrible. After Michelle and I had finished I then felt my usual guilt and left to find Aidan who was at work.

When I arrived to the bar she worked at she was dancing on stage, I glanced at all the other men drooling over her. Jealousy panged through me, and I wondered if I asked her to quit would she do it for me. After she got off stage she walked over to the bar grabbing a bottle of water, chatting casually with the bartender. It made me think that she didn’t deserve what I was giving her, she deserved somebody who could commit to her completely. Not a coward who was afraid of what he was feeling.

I sat forward, clutching my head in my hands. I’d never felt so bad in my life. The last time Aidan and I touched I didn’t show her and real emotion. I basically used her, I’m a moron. The sound of my cell phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts,

“Hello?” I asked not really interested until I heard Matt’ distraught voice on the other end.
“Brian, man you need to get the fuck home now.”
“Um when did you become my mother? And why, what’s up buttercup?” I replied nonchalantly as I sat back, propping my feet up on the table in front of me.
“Honestly I can’t tell you, it’s not for me to say. But It involves Aidan and I really just think you need to come home and talk to her…” I sat up as soon as he said her name, fear coursing through my body.
“Whats the matter? What happened, is she ok?” I rambled, obviously worried now.
“Dude, she’s okay. I just think she really needs you to be here right now.” I got up and started getting my shit together.
“I’ll be on the next fuckin plane.” I hung up the phone as he said something about Michelle. Right now I really didn’t care, I didn’t even want to leave her a note. Though I knew that was fucking rude and I should at least do that.


Michelle,
Went home. I’m sick of your crap.
Brian.
