Rebel Love

Chapter 16

Andy's POV
It was about 1 a.m when Melissa fell asleep in my arms. I decided it was time for bed for the both of us, including the guys also.
"Alright guys, I'll see ya later." I whispered as I gently picked Melissa up to carry her up stairs.
"Good night."
"Night Andy."
"See ya."
"Night."
I heard them all whisper as I walked up the stairs as carefully and as quietly as possible, trying not to wake Melissa.
As I reached our bed, she started to turn before I set her down.
"Good night Melissa, I love you." I whispered in her ear as I planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
I got in my boxers, got into bed as quietly as possible and then slowly but surely drifted off into a deep sleep...

Next Morning
Melissa's POV
I had woken to Andy's arm around my waist. He must of brought me up to bed last night. Come to think of it, I think I heard him say 'I love you' before I fell back into a deep sleep.
I got out of bed quietly trying not to wake Andy, and went to the bathroom.
I took the pregnancy test out of the box and read the directions before using it.
I used as directed and waited for 30 minutes. I just hope Andy doesn't wake up within that time..
Waiting for this result seemed like eternity... I kept looking at the clock and then the test, and then back at the clock... I heard someone coming towards the bathroom, I quickly locked the door so no one would enter.
"Babe?" It was Andy, knocking on the door softly.
"Yeah?"
"Can I go pee please?"
"Just a second." I grabbed the test, hid it in my bra a little, and walked out.
"It's all yours." I gave him a peck on the lips and allowed him to enter.
I looked at the test, still no results..
Five minutes had gone by before I looked at the test one final time...
Positive... The test said positive... I am pregnant, I mean, I had an idea I was; I was craving weird things, I'm late on my period... I have to tell Andy.. But I'm afraid to, what if he leaves me, or something? I don't care at this point, I need to tell him...
I walked downstairs slowly to see Andy watching tv.
"Hey babe." He smiled at me as I walked towards him with no emotion on my face.
"Are you okay? You look a bit pale." He had a concerned look on his face, should I tell him?
"I'm pregnant..." I blurted out.
"What?" He went from being concerned about my well being to no emotion in one second.. My stomach dropped to the floor, I knew something bad was going to happen... I just have to wait for it come.
"You're? You're pregnant? When did you find out? Are you sure you are? Have you taken another test?" I could tell he was nervous; he was blurting out all sorts of questions making me feel even worse.
"I've kind of known for a while now, I'm late on my period, and I've been having weird cravings... I also bought the most expensive test I could find at the store the other day when we went.. It said positive Andy, I'm pregnant."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Andy! It's not that fucking hard to comprehend! I have a fucking human being growing inside of me!"
"Okay okay..."
"The first thing we need to do is find a doctor so we can get check ups and shit."
"Okay, I'll start looking around for someone. God, I knew this day would come but not this early..." He put his head into his hands and just sat there motionless for a few seconds.
"I'm going to get a shower." I stood up and walked back upstairs to start a warm shower. I can just feel the stress starting to build onto me... I want this baby to be healthy as healthy can be.
I started the shower and got undressed, I then looked at myself in the mirror and smiled.
I can't believe me and Andy are going to be parents! I have wanted this for so long, and now I finally have it. I just hope that the band doesn't interfere with it.
I got into the shower and just sort of stood there for a moment. I zoned out thinking about if I should tell my mom or not... I want her to be proud of me for once, maybe she'll actually want to see me, or come visit me... Ever since me and Andy have been together I haven't gotten one phone call from her, or anyone in my family for that matter. I could be dead and they wouldn't know, or care.
"Are you okay in there?" I heard Andy walk in and that had snapped me back.
"Oh yeah, when I get out I need to talk to you.."
"Alright, I'll be downstairs." I didn't reply, he closed the door and left me with my thoughts... The thoughts that keep screaming at me to call my mom, the thoughts that keep telling me that something bad will happen... Everything from my past came rushing back to me in an instant. I backed against the shower wall and started to cry... I slid down to sit and curled up into the corner.
"Melissa!? Honey what's wrong!!?"
"It's my family Andy!"
"What about them?"
"They don't care! They hate me! I can't make my mom happy!" I was shaking and screaming from everything that was building up inside of me.
Andy had turned the water off and grabbed my towel, he picked me up, not caring that he was getting soaked, and cuddled me to try to calm me down.
"Melissa, please calm down... We'll call them later and see what happens.
"They don't want to hear me talk. They could care lets that I'm fucking knocked up! They'll think I'm a whore!"
"Shhh... You're not a whore, and who knows, maybe they'll want to come see you... It could bring you all closer."
"No Andy, you're trying to make me see the positives. There is nothing positive when it comes to my family."
"You don't need them, you have me, and now our baby."
He hugged me and I began to cry onto his shoulder.
"Please stop crying.."
"I wish I could Andy but it hurts.. It feels like someone is stabbing me in the heart with a knife every time I think about them..."
"You're gonna be alright Melissa.."
Andy had kissed my head gently and gotten me up.
I dried my self off, wrapped my hair into a towel, and went back to our room.
I put some black yoga pants on, a pink tank top on, and crawled into bed..
I needed to sleep, and that's what I plan on doing...
