"I accept your wedding offer." I said to Calvin that following Tuesday. I sounded so absurd but Calvin wanted me to marry him. I couldn't take no as an answer especially with what I was going through. Phil insisted I marry him. I would be out of child custody care and out of the foster house. After much thought and arguing with Phil, I knew I had to.
So I stand in front of Calvin, shy and timid. We were done with a round of sex as I laid next to him, naked on his bed.
"What do you mean, Vivian?" Calvin asked as he snuggled his arm around my body.
I sighed and turned to face him. "You heard me. Let's get married."
Calvin frowned and sat up on the bed.
I did the same and crossed my arms. "What's wrong?"
"Vivian, we have only been dating for a month and half. If we got married, people would think you're knocked up or something." Calvin said as he kissed my cheek.
I turned to look away and retorted, "Calvin please. I'm doing this because I don't want to be in that foster house anymore. Can we please? I mean don't you think we're a good couple anyways? We could make this work."
Calvin got out of the bed and put on his sweat pants. He sighed and then turned to me, "As much as I want to marry you-"
I started to cry. I didn't want to get rejected.
"Vivian, stop. Please honey, it's just I care too much to ruin your reputation."
I sighed and said, "I'm pregnant."
Calvin stopped mumbling and then stared at me. His face was alarmed and anxious. He looked like he was about to pass out.
I looked down at my belly and said, "And it's yours. Your the only person I slept with. I'm seven weeks pregnant."
Calvin ran his fingers through his hair and sat at the edge of the bed. He looked so worried. I wished I could say something to console him but I know I cannot. I got off the bed and grabbed my things. i started to dress myself.
I looked over at Calvin as he got up and walked around the room. I felt his anger as he punched a hole in the wall. He started screaming and he walked out of the room. He slammed the door shut and went to the bathroom.
I sighed and finished dressing. Phil took it at least a bit more mature. I frowned and grabbed my backpack. I was going to go home, where ever it was.
Just when I got to the door, Calvin came in and slammed the door shut. His eyes stared at me as I walked backwards. I fell on the bed again and looked at him, afraid of what he was going to do.
Calvin stood in front of me, staring at my eyes. "We'll get married next month. You and I-" He stopped talking to caress my cheek. His nose nuzzled mine. "You and I will be moving together in a new place. We won't live here. Not with my aunt."
I smiled at him and hugged him tightly. "Calvin do you have the money?"
Calvin stroked my cheek and kissed my head. "Yes. We'll have enough when we get married."
i kissed his lips. I know we would. Phil was going to pay for the wedding and a new house.
I hugged him tightly as I wrapped my legs around his body. Calvin's breathing became harder as he kissed my lips fiercely. He pushed me back down on the bed as he started to undress me. I helped him with the undressing of his and his lips trailed down to my breasts. I felt him massage them lightly till he gave them a squeeze and he pressed his lips over one of them. I moan in delight as I stroke his hair.
Calvin then led his way down my belly and then he forced his tongue inside my sex. I gasped and pushed his head closer to mine. Phil never done this to me before. This was new and so exciting. I felt all my nerves in me release with relaxation and comfort. I moaned loudly as I stroke his blonde hair. I forced my legs over his shoulder as he continued to lick.
With each thrust of his tongue, I felt my emotions run wild. I melt with his caresses. He moved his hand up my body to my breasts and with one, he skillfully massaged it and squeezed it. Each time he squeezed, he licked me more passionately.
I felt so alive. I closed my eyes and let myself fall in ecstasy as he continued his play with me. I felt him stopped lick and got off of me. He stroked his manhood and then within an second, I felt him ripping me through my opening.

The next day after school, Calvin and I went shopping. We decided on flowers and then we decided on our wedding favors. We went around town looking at bridal dresses and venues. It was exhausting and tiring but I couldn't believe I was getting married. With the amount of walking I had to do, Calvin always made sure if I was alright. He was also alarmed of our unborn baby.
After much joking, Calvin believed I got pregnant from lack of condoms. I giggled. I didn't think it was my fault. But then again, in the back of my mind, Phil and I never used condoms too. The baby could be either one. I took a deep breath and continued with Calvin.
We were checking out churches and such. Calvin grew up in the city and decided that the wedding ceremony should be within the church he grew up in.
I didn't argue. I felt like it was going to be fabulous. Calvin was going to be an excellent husband.
We went home that day with plentiful bags. We excused ourselves from his aunt who was cooking in the kitchen and we brought them upstairs to our room.
Calvin closed the door and I immediately threw myself on him. I pressed my lips against his cheek and trailed down to his lips. He rubbed my back and held me up close to his body. He spun me around and he forced his tongue inside my mouth.
We were fighting over dominance when a knock came on the door.
Calvin groaned and called out, "Yes?"
"Calvin, dinner is ready in a few minutes. It's stuffed chicken with rice medley and steamed veggies. Is your girlfriend okay with that?" His aunt asked.
i looked at Calvin and nodded.
"Yeah she's fine with that! Thanks Aunt Patty!" He said as he continued to kiss my neck.
We heard her walked from our room to Myra's room. "We should tell them," I said softly against Calvin's ear.
Calvin laughed and stated, "yeah we should! We'll tell them tonight during dinner."
I nodded and kissed his lips.
At dinner, I sat next to Calvin who was at the end of the table near the kitchen. Aunt Patty came in with the stuffed whole chicken and placed it in the center. She had serving bowls of rice medley,
peas, carrots and broccoli. There was a bowl of gravy too. Aunt Patty was such a cook!
I looked at Myra who was seated in front of me. She smirked at me and then started to fish for the dinner rolls.
Uncle Tom was seated across from Calvin and then Aunt Patty sat down next to Myra.
"Alright, help yourselves, everyone!" Aunt Patty said.
Immediately, Uncle Tom went for the chicken and started stripping the legs out of it. He grabbed one for himself and cut a breast for his wife and then he cut up another for Myra. He handed Calvin a chicken leg and then he looked at me.
"I don't mind. Whatever part of the chicken that is edible." I suggested.
I watched Uncle Tom cut up the thighs and wing and threw it down my plate. I smiled at him and started taking spoonfuls of the rice. I placed them on my plate and ate it. Chicken was moist and scrumptious. The rice was homemade and cooked perfectly.
Uncle Tom started talking about the butcher shop and how the business was increasing because of the Holidays. People were ordering for turkeys, roasts, or ham. He said it was bringing in loads of money but then he had to order it from the farm. They didn't know how much they could slaughter but he said our Thanksgiving was going to good. He reserved a twenty eight pound turkey.
Aunt Patty smiled and nodded at him. "Clarissa and her husband, Vernon, are coming. Your other sister, Hilda, will be coming too. We have the spare rooms ready right Myra?" She asked.
Myra nodded and looked at Calvin.
Calvin smiled at them and said, "What about Will and Jeremy?"
"Oh! Our boys... They couldn't make it this year." Aunt Patty said as she shook her head
Calvin told me Unlce Tom and Aunt Patty had two boys. The two boys named Will and Jeremy were off in the Army bases. They couldn't come for Thanksgiving or Christmas sometimes so Calvin and his three sisters became their children. I didn't know how I would do it if I couldn't see my kids. I watched as Uncle Tom patted Aunt Patty's back. She was crying.
"Okay, Aunt Patty. They will be sending us gifts like last year. We have serious news to tell you. We want you guys to have a clear mind." Calvin said slowly.
Aunt Patty looked at him as he held my hand.
"We're expecting a baby!" We both cried out.
Aunt Patty slammed the fork down and yelled, "Get out."
Uncle Tom tried to calm her down but she was yelling at us.
Myra looked at us and shook her head. She got out of her seat and walked to her room. I watched her slammed the door shut.
I got up and stood behind Calvin.
"We're getting married in three more weeks! We would like it if you can help us!" Calvin said.
Aunt Patty yelled and threw a knife at us. It missed and fell on the floor. Calvin grabbed my hand and brought us to his room.
I watched Uncle Tom trying to settle her.
"Patricia! Stop it! They need us! They are young kids. We need to support them!" He yelled.
Aunt Patty yelled, "No! I don't approve of them fucking upstairs in MY house and then getting pregnant. They can get the fuck out of here!"
Uncle Tom looked at her and shook his head. He walked to his room and slammed the door. I watched Aunt Patty sit in her seat and continued to eat the dinner she made.
Calvin and I were packing our clothes in our backpacks. I felt bad for him. "I'm sorry Calvin." I whispered.
"It's okay, Vivian. You and I are a family. We are going to be one when we do get married." He said as he picked all his belongings. He placed them in a suitcase.
The best thing about Calvin was he was always so sweet. He knew there was trouble but he always maintain that young boy smile and ignorance. It was so blissful to see him act in this way. Sometimes I look up to it. He was such a sweet soul. His blonde hair and his green eyes melted me. Every time he glance to look at me, I could feel his happiness. His orb of excitement and love. There was no way anybody can hate him.
We finally got done packing and Calvin made the bed neatly.
Uncle Tom came in and handed him an envelope. "Here you go." He said.
Calvin opened it and looked through it. There was at least twenty grand in there.
"What for?" I muttered.
"Your wedding gift. Go buy yourselves an apartment and settle in that new life. Send us invites when you get done with the wedding arrangements." He said.
I looked at Calvin and Calvin's eyes glistened. He hugged his uncle tightly and thanked him.
"Listen kiddo, you are always an employee at the shop And you-" He turned to face me. "You take good care of that baby and my nephew."
I nodded and thanked him.
Calvin and Uncle Tom carried our belongings to Calvin's 99 Chevy.. He placed them in the trunk as I slipped to the passenger side. We were going to start our new lives. I watched as Uncle Tom and Calvin talked out in the yard. I looked through my purse and looked at the money Uncle Tom gave us. Then I looked at the other fine envelope enclosed with more money. More money from Phil. It was roughly another thirty grand.
We could buy a house if we wanted. However, this was for our wedding.
Calvin slipped in the driver's side and held my hand. "Ready?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah."
"We're going to a motel first. Then we are apartment hunting tomorrow." He said.
I kissed his cheek and whispered, "I love you."
Calvin's eyes streamed with tears. "Do you really, Vivian?" He asked.
I nodded. It was true. I was in love with his bravery and his sweet heart. There was no way someone could be as genuine as him.
"Let's go. We can make it work." I muttered as I relaxed in my seat. I snuggled in his arm as he drove us away.
