Dirty Little Secret *DON'T READ* (Student/Teacher Relationship! Completed)

Chapter Twenty-Two

Chapter Twenty-Two:

When I got home that night after school and going out for ice cream with the girls and Johnathon I came home to find one hundred and twenty off-white calla lilies. I gasped, this was my favourite type of flower, and he was the many few who knew about it. My mom walked in with a smirk on her face.

"He must really love you and want you back, I can just imagine what this would have cost him," she mused. I didn't even want to think about the money that he was spending on me. I just wanted us to work everything out, but I just don't know if I can trust him one hundred percent yet. There is something telling me to just let him explain everything to me but then there's another thing that is saying, don't do it because when you get back together you're going to have to tell him you're pregnant.

I'm pregnant.

The thought had sunk in, but I guess not to the full extent. I was pregnant. I was going to become a whale! Landon's going to hate me then! I'll be too fat for him. I started to bawl uncontrollably, and I felt small, warm arms wrap around me.

"Hunny, stop, it's just the pregnancy hormones over-reacting," my mom cooed softly. I tried my best to stop the water works but they didn't seem to want to let up. I couldn't get over the fact that there was another human being inside me, a soon to be beautiful creation of mine and Landon's. I was happy at the thought of it being Landon's; I would be the first girl to have Landon's baby, well hopefully. But I didn't like the vibe I was getting that he wouldn't accept the baby.

"Mom, do you think I should just tell Landon that I'm pregnant and let him explain his side of the story?" I asked her softly, as she rocked me back and forth, her motherly smell calming me instantly. I wonder if I will have a distinct smell that will calm my baby down instantly, I sure hope so, and I guarantee if Landon is in the baby's life they will be calm around him as well.

"Yes I do," she whispered. "He deserves to know that it's his baby, because he's going to be suspecting things with your mood swings and you are going to start getting bigger now..."

"Okay," I whispered back. "Can I do it when you're around or something, please? I don't want him to get angry and start yelling at me."

"Do you really think he would do something like that?" she questioned, pulling away to look at me. Both she and I knew that Landon wasn't that type of person, but I honestly didn't know how he would react when I found out I was pregnant with his baby. I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it. Just eight more months, and this baby will be out!

"No."

"Well then, what are you worried about?"

"I just want him to accept the baby as his own; I don't want him to be angry with me over it."

"How can he be angry with you when he was a part of it as well? It takes two to tango Dakota," she stated and stroked my hair lovingly.

I sighed out in relief as I understood her point. She's right, he shouldn't get angry with me, and he should be responsible enough to own up to his child. If he doesn't that's too bad for him, and if he makes the mistake of walking out on this child's life now, he won't be allowed back in. There is no way I'm going to have a father figure that keeps walking in and out of their life.

I pulled out my phone slowly, wondering if this was the best idea. Would Landon understand? Would he say that he didn't want to be with me anymore? He is surely trying to prove to me that he didn't cheat on me, and if he has a logical explanation, then I guess there is no reason for us not to be together. Well, unless he doesn't want to be together anymore...

"I guess you're right," I said in a small voice. "Should we do it right now?"

"Sure honey," my mom smiled reassuringly at me. I knew she was just trying to get everything back to normal, but how can it be normal? It doesn't even seem possible, even if I feel my happiest when I'm with Landon.
