missing him| ethma

four

(continuing on from the last chapter)
gray taps my shoulder
"come on let's go"
everyone is exiting the plane

ones we get home i go straight to my room and go back to the picture i tap on it hoping to reveal her tag but nothing shows up so i go check the few other pictures of them together

still no luck, i then realize i scrolled down his posts pretty far and all of the pictures are from last year

so i'm guessing/hoping they broke up and blocked each other

Emma's pov
james and i have been starting to buy small things for the baby, at first i was a little nervous being 17 and pregnant but now i'm excited

i'm only 5 weeks along so i still have about 12 weeks if not longer until i can find out the gender

i don't really care what sex the baby ends up being as long as it's healthy

i still haven't told my mom which... i'm nervous about because of the whole baby daddy situation knowing i'm gonna have to explain the whole thing to her

i plan on telling her tonight

meanwhile james has been asking me when i'm going to announce it on instagram so everyone at school can know, tbh i don't know if i want to i might just not say anything and people can make their own assumptions about my growing belly

i plan on showing my mom the pictures from my first ultrasound

i'm not doing anything atm and neither is she so i figure why not just do it right now

i gather the few pictures and head down to the living room with the pictures in hand behind my back

she doesn't notice me right away so i speak up

"mom.. i have to tell you something"
she starts acting all panicky
"what, are you okay? did someone hurt you?"
"no mom, i'm ok i just-"

this is the moment i hand the pictures to her

tears form in her eyes

"emma your-"
"yes mom i'm pregnant, and i'm keeping it. so i hope you'll continue to support me"
"she walks towards me and pulls me into a hug"
"wait your not mad"
i say pulling away

"no i'm not mad i'm just a little upset, and don't think you won't have explaining to do"

so i explain to her the night of the party and waking up alone, she gets a little stern when i mention the underage drinking but she gets over it

"thank you so much mom"

"anything for you"
