Her cowboy his cowgirl

Chapter 5 pregnant customer

Two weeks later and still not close enough sighing I readjust my apron and walk over to the newly seated couple.

"Hey yall what could I get ya I'm your Waitress Jane today's special is a triple burger with curly fries and a source of your choice or whatever you want on the menu" I recite I've worked here for two weeks and somehow know the speech off by heart. I hate that I have to use a fake name sure I get it but still it's annoying as hell when they call you over and you forgot you didn't tell them your real name and you look around for who they are talking to

"we'll take two specials, one ketchup one mayo, and two cokes," the guy says not looking away from the girl

"sure thing your drinks will be here shortly," I say running off towards the chef and give him the order. I get the two drinks quickly and then go back to see them making out just thinking to myself I wouldn't have ever got that and won't if my mother finds me.

I place their drinks down and scurry off taking another order and then refilling coffee until the order is up and I collect then and walk back towards the couple bit just before I reach their table I see the man get out the booth, drop to one knee in front of his girlfriend and hold out a box with a diamond ring inside. The look of pure shock comes over her face until her eyes water

" My dear Evelyn ever since I met you my world has been turned around. From the first day I saw you I knew I wanted to be with you forever sure we were just kids but every little thing you done made me fall more and more in love with you. Our first date was here and now I hope our last date will be here as well and that's why I am asking you my precious Angel if you will do me the honor of being my wife. And yes I asked for your uncle Jack's permission. "

" I-I can't - "a look of dread crosses his face before she runs towards the bathroom. I look left and right seeing all the pitty on everyone's face I look back towards him as he sits down on the booth running his hand through his hair a look of pain on his face as his other hand fiddles with the box he puts his head on his arm covering his face but I spot the tear rolling down his face before he does. Quickly disposing of the meals on a random empty table I rush towards the bathroom she ran to.

Knocking I slowly open the door to a small sobbing sound coming from a stall. Knocking on the stall I here her stop well trying to stop.

"yes?" I hear a small voice

"i-um wanted to see if you were okay," I say

"I'm fine you can go"

"Well I don't think you're fine you wouldn't be crying if you were fine" I state

"I - I " she can't find any words

"you know you had a great guy sure I'm not one to judge character but you seemed perfect together I dot want to sound like a bitch but you just stomped on his heart out there, then burnt the pieces," I say to the door

"yeah I did"

"why you seem to love him and he seems to love you"

"it's not him it's me," she says opening the door "Jane right?"

"yea" "tell me what's so wrong with you that he wouldn't love?"

"I screwed up," she says looking in the mirror

"unless you cheated on him I doubt it"

"I forgot to take something and now I've made a mess," she says looking down

"what couldn't you both fix together?

" I'm pregnant - and he doesn't want kids yet, "she says putting a hand on her stomach

" I wanted to get rid of it but when I got there I couldn't I just couldn't, "she says rubbing her stomach

" How far? "

" one month and five days "

" and that's why you don't want to marry him? "

" yea he told me he didn't want kids until later in life where he would have a stable job and a good place for us to live and I've ruined his plan and life now"

"I'm gonna tell you something okay from when I was little I've been getting courted by my mother's husbands friends son and I have to marry him, you get to marry the man you want the man you dream of sure he said he didn't want kids but that may change when he hears it he may not care about the early child thing for god sake he's out there crying and probably thinking messed up to me you seem like the love of his life and I don't think he'll ever want to lose you as he thinks right now and think of the child will you let them meet their day or never let him see them never spoil them or love them or will he not know they exist and go on with his life thinking of the future he planned with you just tell him and if he doesn't want you at least you know you told him he's going to be a father and that he had a choice."I tell her it's the best advice I've ever given

"Now sort yourself out fix your hair and go get your mam before that slutty waitress gets to him first you don't want her anywhere near him god knows what she's got now go" I say walking to the door with her opening it, she walks towards the booth where he's sitting still fiddling with the ring.

"I have something to tell you," she says which makes his head snap upwards a look of more dread crosses his face with slight surprise

"un I don't know how to tell you um if you want to be there you can and if you don't I'm sure we'll l understand and I understand if you won't ever want to marry me I regret ever forgetting and doing this to us. I just hope you'll be there for us and if not me it. it deserves to know even if you want nothing to do with them "

" um, what are you trying to tell me? Have you been cheating on me?"

" no um im-uh"

"spit It out!"

"I'm pregnant" and finally to truth is revealed

"wha-what?"

"I'm pregnant"

"Is this a joke?"

"no I uh" she reaches over towards him grabbing his hand and putting it over the slight viable bump "I'm going to be a mom and uh you a dad" he doesn't say anything soon after his hand drops of the bump and a look of sadness crosses her face. She looks at the door then back to him until she pivots on her heel and goes to walk away

"will you still marry me?!" he slightly yells holding the box in his hand she pivots back around a look of shock on her face slowly she nods her head and he gets up pulling her hand towards him and slips the ring over her finger then pulls her into a kiss while he caresses her stomach. Breaking the kiss he hugs her looking toward me she mouths thank you and I nod in welcome. As they leave I watch in happiness as they leave not letting go of each other I just wish someday I'll have that a husband that I chose a child made out of love, not obligation and a happy life with him.
