CHAPTER 42: 42

A knock on the door interrupts my train of thoughts.

"Jayda? What are you doing? Come out" Nikki asks from the other side of the door.

I stand up from the floor, tears still running down my face and open the door.

As soon as Nikki sees me her face falls. "It's alright Jayda, it will happen soon" She says, thinking my tears are because I am not pregnant.

I quickly shake my head "No, I um I am pregnant. I am just so happy I-" I start crying again.

I am just so happy.

Nikki quickly hugs me "I am going to be an aunt" she squeals and starts crying too.

"I am so happy for you guys. I can't believe I will be an aunt. A baby i can spoil rotten" Nikki says grinning trough the tears.

I nod "You will be a great aunt"

"Aunty Nikki, I like the sound of that" she giggles.

I giggle. "What do you think it will be?

She shrugs "Who knows, but who cares I will love him or her either"

I sigh happily "I will too"

"When will you tell Maddox?" Nikki asks.

I shrug "Probably tonight. I wanna surprise him with it"

"How?" She asks, while putting her hair in a ponytail.

"I was actually thinking of putting it in a box and say I have a present for him. Then when he opens the box the pregnancy test will be there"

"That's a great idea, I'm going to get a box and we can put like the cute little decorative colorful papers so its harder to find" with that she leaves the room and I am left there smiling like an idiot.

About 5 minutes later Nicole walks in with a dark blue gift box with a lime green bow.

"I didn't find the cute little papers but I found confetti" Nikki says dumping three bags of colorful confetti into the box.

"It's alright, confetti will work" I shrug walking to the bathroom a taking one of the pregnancy sticks. And dumping the rest of them in the trash. copyrighted © content.

"I'm nervous" I confess while putting the pregnancy stick inside the box under all of the confetti.

"Why?" Nicole asks and I shrug.

"How Maddox will react. He looked happy when I told him that I didn't mind having pups but what if he doesn't want one right now. What will I do then?" I ask, running my hands through my hair anxiously.

Nikki shakes her head. "I am sure he will be happy"

I frown "But what if he isn't? I will have be heartbroken but I would never get rid of my baby so I would have to leave the pack and move to another state and take care of my baby alone and what will I I say when they ask where the dad is? Will I lie or will I tell them the truth. I don't want to leave Maddox he is amazing and I love him but There isn't another way. I refuse to get rid of my babe-" I ramble.

"Woah, woah woah! Calm down Jayda" Nikki tries to interrupt me but I keep going.

"That's it, I won't tell Maddox anything. If I don't tell him then he won't leave me. And when the baby comes I'll just leave when he kicks me out....shit what about when I start showing? Maybe he will think I just got fat-" I say quickly but Nikki cuts me off.

"STOP! You are talking crazy. Calm the fuck down Jayda. Maddox will never kick you out and you will definitely not keep his baby away from him" She snaps, clearly irritated and I start crying.

"I just don't want him to leave me"

Nikki's face softens "He won't. My brother is capable of anything, except leaving you."

"I just-" I start but get cut off by a knock on Nicole's bedroom door.

"Hey girls, hide all those tampons and everything you woman talk about cause I am about to walk in" Luke says from behind the door making me snort.

"Come in Luke" I say, wiping my eyes.

Luke opens the door and smiles at me but then frowns when he sees Nikki's and I's red eyes from crying so much today.

He quickly hugs Nikki "What happened?" He asks frantically.

I shrug "Let Nikki tell you, I need to go home now, Bye guys." I hug Nikki and Luke then grab the box of my way out.

I try to make the 5 minute walk towards Maddox's and I's home the longest I can but when it starts pouring cats and dogs I have no choice but to hurry up.

When I get to the house, as soon as I get to the house I wash my face so I don't show any signs of being crying.

I slowly walk up to our room and see Maddox coming out of the shower.

"Hey Jayda" Maddox greets giving me a quick peck on the lips.

"Hi" I mumble.

Maddox gets dressed then with a sigh plops down on the bed.

I sit down on the bed next to him, putting the box on my lap.

"How was your day?" I ask.

"Awful, nobody was doing their job correctly and accidentally accepted a request for someone to join the pack" Maddox says, his face twisting in anger.

"Why is that such a bad thing?" I voice my thoughts and start handing him the box but his response stops me.

He runs a hand through his hair "I just don't like new people joining the pack. We are fine with the amount of people we have"

I frown "So you don't want no more people?"

He shakes his head "Nope"

"Oh" I mumble hugging the box to my chest.

"What's on that box?" Maddox asks suddenly.

My eyes widen and I shake my head quickly "Nothing, just nothing" I say.

There's no way I am telling him about this, call me selfish but I want to have him all to myself before he finds out I have a baby and I have to leave the state.

"You've been fidgeting with the damn box since you got here so what is it?" Maddox asks again.

"It's nothing Maddox" I mumble.

"I saw you were about to give it to me then you stopped, I really want to know" Maddox says, looking at the box.

I giggle nervously "Its just a stupid present I had for you but its not important so I'm just going to throw it away" I start standing up before the box is ripped from my hands.

"Nothing that comes from you is stupid Jayda" Maddox says opening the box and looking through the confetti, ignoring my protests.

"There's nothing here--wait found it. Is this a pen?" He asks then starts talking it out of the box.

When he sees what it is his eyes widen. His mouth opens and closes.

I look down, this is it. He will tell me to leave.

Suddenly I am tackle into a laying position on the bed and Maddox is on top of me with the biggest smile I have ever seen on him.

"You are giving me a pup?" Maddox asks, kissing me all over my face. His smile still present.

"You are giving me a baby Jayda, I am going to be a dad" The joy I hear in his voice makes me feel stupid for ever doubting him.

Maddox pulls me back to a sitting position and hugs me harder than anyone has ever hugged me before, its almost painful.

"Jayda! We are going to be parents. There's a baby growing inside of you. My baby! I put him there" Maddox exclaims, his grin not faltering and I giggle.

Maddox lifts up my shirt and starts kissing my stomach.

"I've never been this happy" he admits.

"I've never been this relieved"

"Why are you relieved?" Maddox asks.

I look at him sheepishly "I kinda thought you wouldn't want me and that I would have to move to another state"

Maddox looks at me, and blinks. Once, twice, thrice.

Then he bursts out laughing "Are you serious? You thought I would leave you?"

I shrug and rolls his eyes grabbing my head in his hands he looks at me in the eye "I will never leave you. Ever. You are stuck with me until I die"

"What if I die first?" I ask him.

"I won't allow it"
