Pregnant By My Bestfriend

chapter fifty-six

Dawson-

My mom held her right hand while Alex held her other.

Karissa walks in. She's scared and flushed.

"Baby!" My mom moves out of the way as Karissa goes in for a huge hug.

"Mom, it's okay. The doctors are handling this." Kennedy says calmly.

Karissa cries in her daughters arm.

Zoe and I were the only ones who went with mom. Grandma is watching the younger kids.

Kennedy is really sweet, and she's young. She's only 26. Or 25, I'm not sure.

My phone starts ringing.

"Janessa, Hey," I say.

"Hi Dawson. Just wanted to make sure you're alright. I heard about your sister." She says.

"Half-sister," I correct. "But thank you. I'm sorry I have to go." I hang up.

"Who was that?" Zoe asks.

I turn around. "No one," I answer.

"Was that Janessa?" She says in a flirty voice.

"Shut up, she's just my girlfriend."

"Does mom know?" Zoe asks.

"Zoe I swear if you tell her," I threaten.

Doctors start rushing to the room.

This reminds me of my dad died.

I was close to my dad, I miss him so much.

My mom is sad. I wish she could meet someone new, but I don't blame her.

There's no one who can replace or be anything like Kai Corbett.

Maybe I can, maybe I can be the new Kai. I can be selfless and kind, strong yet gentle.

A doctor makes Karissa and Alex leave the room.

They declare Kennedy dead.

At the funeral, Janessa shows up to hold my hand. My mom doesn't say anything, she just smiles and gives me a comforted look.

That night Janessa and I have our first kiss.

I really like her.
