The Baby Project: Book 1

Chapter 28

"Excuse me?!" My mother asked appalled

"Leave it" my dad said speaking up for the first time

"are you serious?" My mom said staring at my dad

"Well do you blame Emma for feeling this way? If I was her I would be acting ten times worse! I'm actually surprised she's still listening to you ramble on!" My dad said rubbing his temples

"Ramble on?! I'm sorry that I'm the one who has the guts to tell our daughter the possibilities of the future" my mom defended herself

"Stop fighting! Please just for tonight" I cried

"I'm sorry Em..why don't to stay over a friends house tonight. Megan? Blake?" My dad offered getting up to give me a hug which I accepted

"Thank you daddy" I whispered wiping some tears

"Just call me when your settled so I know your safe ok?" My dad said kissing my head

I nodded and gave him a small smile before looking over at my mom who was on her phone acting oblivious to the whole situation making me roll my eyes.

I slipped my winter coat on and my snow boots before exiting my home. On my way to my car I got my phone out and dialed Blake's number since he's the only one that knows about my parents. The phone rang three times before he picked up.

"So how's my present coming along?" Blake asked as soon as he picked up

"Oh it's great" I said with a weak chuckle

I got into the car and turned the engine on

"What's wrong?" Blake sighed

"How did you know?" I asked putting him on speaker so I can pull out of my long driveway

"When isn't there something wrong?" Blake said making me smile a little knowing he's right

"So tell me what happened" Blake added more serious

"I finally talked to my parents." I said turning onto the main road

"Oh god. I bet that must've been entertaining" Blake said with sarcasm

"It was horrible. My dad let me leave the house though" I told Blake hoping he'll invite me over

"You're always welcomed here babe" Blake said making me sigh in relief

"You were already on your way weren't you? I heard that sigh Emma. That was a sigh of relief as in you are more than half way to my house" Blake said letting out a laugh

"You are scary sometimes" I said shocked

"Just get you butt over here soon ok?" Blake said

"Alright I'm almost on your street" I said turning on my right blinker

"K, I lov- uh I love the idea of seeing your face" Blake stammered on the other line

Once I heard his little slip up I accidentally slammed the breaks making the car jerk forward. What did he almost just say?! He defiantly meant to say 'I love you'. I broke out into a huge grin finally getting the reassurance that Blake actually loves me back. Yes, I love Blake Stevens. I'm pretty sure I said this millions of times. Who fucking wouldn't love this boy though?!

"I love the idea of seeing yours too" I said pretending that I didn't notice his mess up just a few moments ago

"Bye" Blake quickly said hanging up the phone. As soon as he hung up I squealed to myself with joy and pushed the gas pedal once again.
