Chapter 17
Over at Nick and Darlene's House
Nick's View
I sighed as I hung up the phone with Tiffany. I do
really love kids but I just can't picture me as a father. I guess I would
be pretty good at it. Spoiling them rotten and playing with them every second
of everyday would be fun. I smiled and got up from the couch. I guess I can
go see if Darlene has unlocked the door yet. She's been up there ever since
we got home and I can't get a word out of her.
I walked up the stairs and to our room. I tried the
knob but it was still locked.
"Darlene? Sweetie open the door. We need to talk.
It's important. Please?" I asked.
Darlene's View
I heard Nick behind the door again. He doesn't gives
up. Can't he just leave me alone? I'm afraid to talk to him because if we
do talk that would be when he would tell me that we shouldn't go out anymore.
I don't want to hear him say that but then again he really is worried and
he keeps pleading to me to talk to him. Maybe I should just open the door
and let him in.
I got up off the bed and walked over to the door.
I unlocked it and opened it. Nick was standing there smiling at me slightly.
I walked back to the bed and sat on the edge. Nick came over and sat next
to me.
"Are you OK?" Nick asked.
"What do you think? I'm pregnant and my best friend
tells one of my most private secrets to her fiancee."
Nick sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"Darlene are you really pregnant with my child?" Nick
asked.
"YES! Do you think that I would play around with something
like this!?"
"Sorry I was only checking."
"Look Nick I'm scared to death. I'm not ready for
a child yet and I'm afraid that you're going to leave me."
"I would never leave you! I'm staying right by your
side through all of this."
"You are?"
"Of course I am! I love you Darlene and if you're
pregnant with my child I gotta stay around and help raise him or her," he
smiled. I smiled back at him.
"I'm so glad to hear you say that," I sighed. He slightly
laughed.
"Well, I'm happy that you're not leaving me but Tiffany
still should not have told Brian. I can always trust her with my secrets
but now I don't think I can tell her anything else."
"I just talked to her like 10 minutes ago and she's
really sorry and she's worried about you. Maybe you should just talk to her.
She's not that happy either. She's totally ignoring Brian and Brian going
into depression mode," Nick said. I just sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"I can't think straight right now. Can we talk about
this tomorrow?" I asked.
"Of course," Nick smiled. I got up and went over to
the dresser. I got my pajamas out and changed into them. I hoped into the
bed next to Nick and yawned. Nick smiled at me and then kissed me
softly.
"I love you," he said stroking my cheek lightly.
"I love you too," I smiled.
"Good night," he said kissing my forehead and then
wrapping his arms around my waist. I laid my head on his chest and said,
"Good night." We both soon fell asleep.
