Seventeen and Pregnant

After a Twelve Hour flight back to huntington Beach California. I am beat. I decided to ditch Benji. I wanted to make up with my friends. I don't want them angry with me over something like this. i just couldn't bare it.

I called Jimmy and told him that I landed and he told me to stay put that he would be here as soon as possible.

I hold Phoenix on my lap as she sleeps. I brush her long hair with my hand as we wait for Jimmy. My heart starts beating fast as I see him come toward us. He is taller now, and strikinly handsome. Not the Jimmy I left behind.

He smiles at me and I can't help but smile back at him.

"Hey." I say as he sits down beside me. It shocks me when his lips press against mine. When he pulls away he smiles.

"I am sorry. I have been wanting to do that for so long."

"Don't apoligize. It's my fault I shouldn't have gotten up and left like that. i shouldn't have taken her away from you. You should be mad at me."

"Oh believe me I am. I am very angry with you." He smiles at me. His blue eyes sparkling.

"I am sorry." Phoenix Sits up on my lap and looks at me and then Jimmy.

"Mommy where are we?"

"Were in Huntington baby. Were moving in with daddy."

"Daddy?" I shake my head yes.

She crawls into Jimmys lap and looks up at him.

"You look like me ya know." Such an attitued for a three year old. Jimmy chuckles.

"I do? I think you look like me." He smiles, as he carrys her to the car.

"No Mister. I was here first." She puts her hands on her hips.

"Well, Miss. Sullivan. Concidering I am your daddy, that would mean I had to be here first." She shakes her head.

"Nu Huh" He chuckles and Buckles her in the car.

I finish putting my bags in the car, and climb in the passanger side of the car. Jimmy links his fingers with mine as we drive back to his place where everyone is. I am really scared to see everyone again. Jimmy reassured me the entire car ride that I have nothing to worry about, because it is in the past and they are just glad that I am coming home because they all miss me.

Jimmy pulls up the long drive way. Ph is chatting happily away in the back because she is finally able to see her daddy. My stomach instantly gets upset and I feel like I am going to up chuck any minute. The front door flys open as Jimmy parks and my best friend comes flying out the door screaming my name.

"Lexi!!!!!!!!" I quickly get out and embrase her.

"Oh Weds! I have missed you so much. I am so, so sorry. I should have never left you!" She squeezes me tighter.

"Shut up! It's in the past just forget it. I am sorry too. Where is my little niece. I want to see her." I point to where her and Jimmy are having a serious conversation.

Charles and Midge are the next two that come running out of the house. They attack me in hugs and tell me how much they have missed me.

"Charles. I really am sorry. I never meant to hurt you." She shakes her head.

"Forget it. Everything is fine now." I smile at her. Glad to have her back in my life and not angry.

Soon everyone was outside with me. Brian comes over to me. My breath hitches in my throat at how increadbly handsome he has gotten since three years ago.

"I am so mad at you for leaving like that and not telling us. You have no idea how hurt Jimmy was. Quite frankly I am pissed that Phoenix is Jimmys and not mines." I gasp.

"Brian..."

"No. Don't don't say anything or its going to cause a fight just forget that I even said anything."

"No I'm not going to forget it. If you cared so much about me, you would have asked me out years ago. But instead you fucked Crystal and now you are with her..So. What does that make me but a piece of your trash. So fuck it."

I walk away from him. If anyone would make this home coming suck for me it would be Brian. What a concieded asshole.

The reunion continued inside. Phoenix was making everyone laugh with her attitude, and her crazy personallity, Johnny insists that she is the female version of Jimmy and I agree with him. Jimmy was just as crazy when he was younger. In the morning we are going to Jimmys parents for breakfast so that they can meet her. I am scared of that. I know they are going to hate me forever, for keeping their granddaughter away from them.

I meant to come home sooner...but I just couldn't find the courage to get here sooner.

Jimmy puts phoenix to bed in her room. I lay down in bed and cover up and close my eyes. It has been a long day and I just want to go to sleep. I feel much happier now. The hole in my heart if filled now that I have the honest to God true love of my life back. I don't think I could love anyone else the way that I love Jimmy. No one else in this world can compare to him.

******

The next morning I hop in the shower Jimmy and Phoenix still asleep. I wash my hair and then my body. I shave and then re wash. I get out and dry off. Getting dressed into Skinny Jeans and a plan low cut purple tshirt. I slide on flip flops, throw my hair up into a messy wet bun and put on my ususal make up.

I sigh when I realze that I have to wake up Phoenix and get her ready she is a stubborn brat when you have to wake her up.

Ha.

Just like her daddy.

I go into her room and I am suprised to see her awake playing with the stallion ducks that Jimmy gave her.

"Hey cutie. I am suprised your awake."

"I no sleep no more."

"I see. Come'on lets get dressed and then we will wake daddy up. Were going to your grandparents for breakfast and then mommys parents for dinner. They can't wait to meet you."

She smiles.

I dress her in a pair of black leggins and a purple dress with a black skull on it, and pull her hair up into pig tails and put purple bows in her hair. I slip on her black flats to go with the out fit.

"Okay you look cute. Lets go get daddy up."

We walk to Jimmys room and tip toe in I lift her and place her on the bed she runs and jumps on him.

"DaddyyyYYY! Wake up!" She bounces on him.

"Ahhhh!! I am being attacked my Monsters help! help! help!" He yells chuckling.

"Daddy I no Munster! I Phoenix."

"Oh your my daughter. You scared daddy."

"I sorry. We need to go to mammy and pappys."

"Okay daddy will get dressed and we can go. Go play with mommy."

He gets dressed and then we head to his parents house. The drive is quite except for the chatter of phoenix telling Jimmy about all the things that she did while we were living in Pennyslvania. He would comment back and I would smile and laugh at some of the things that he was saying or the reactions from phoenix.

We pull into the drive way and I panic.

Here we go...
