Our Lady Of Sorrows

"Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but aren't you hot in the hoodie?" he asked me.

"A bit, but Frank and I went out and I didn't wanna look pregnant." I told him.

"Look pregnant? Are you showing already?" He asked.

"Yeah, I stick out about 2 or 3 inches, but remember the doctor said I was kinda small." It old him, he kept eying my belly.

I sighed and removed my hoodie, underneath I was wearing on of those tang tops that sucks to your body so even a blind person could tell I was pregnant.

His eyebrows went up a bit then right back down.

"Wow." He said and moved closer to me.

Gerard was about 5-6 inches taller than me when he stood up next to me. He walked right up to me bur instead of looking at me he was looking at the baby bump I had. He was smiling a lot and then he softly placed his hands down on me and rubbed circles on my belly.

"It doesn't kick or anything yet." I told him.

"Still," He shrugged, "It’s just really cool."
“Anyways,” I said pulling away from him and moving to the sofa and turned on a movie. “Where the pizza?” I asked.
“I ordered it and it should be on its way.” He said and sat down next to me, but instead of looking to the T.V like I did, he looked at me, and made it very obvious.
I tried o act like I didn’t notice or care or anything but after a few minutes it was starting to bug me.
“What?” I asked.
“I wanna talk.”
“We are talking.” I pointed out, he rolled his eyes at me.
“I meant about the conversation I overheard when you were on the phone with Frank.”
“I don’t want to.” I told him then turned back towards the T.V
“Liz, please?” He asked and I didn’t respond. “Liz, I love you, and nothing will change that. The baby just makes me love you even more. Yeah were young but who cares? I wanna be with you; I still want you to be mine.”
I felt like crying. I opened my mouth to respond but the doorbell rang and I got up to get it. I heard his sigh behind me. When I answered the door, a man in about his mid twenties opened the door and handed me the pizza. I was about to hand him the money but Gerard came from behind me and pulled out his wallet.
“Gerard no, you pay for to much.” I told him as I paid the man and he left.
Gerard took the pizza from me and went into the kitchen and gave me a plate with two slices on it and gave himself one as well.
“I could have paid you know.” He told me.
“I know I just wanted to.” I told him.
We watched whatever was on T.V for a while before things were becoming irritating for me.
“So I got you a birthday present while I was out with Frank today.” I told him.
“Really?” He smiled, “What is it?”
“I’m not gonna tell you, you have to wait until your birthday to open it. I’ll have it wrapped by tomorrow if you wanna come pick it up.”
“Sounds nice but my family is throwing me a small birthday party on my birthday, just my mom, dad, Mikey, Frank, and Ray. You should come as well.” He invited.
“I don’t know.” I told him.
“Come on, you’ve meet my family before.”
“Yeah but I wasn’t pregnant.
“Technically you were, we just didn’t know it at the time.”
I rolled my eyes at him.
“Please, my mom wants to talk to you.”
“I’ll think about it.” I told him.
“Speaking of mom’s, how did your mom take it?” He asked.
“She doesn’t know yet.”
“What? How does she not know?” he gestured to my belly. It was kinda obvious; I was either really fat in just my stomach or pregnant.
“I haven’t seen her since we found out.”
“That was like 3 weeks ago.”
I shrugged, ever since my parents got a divorce, I was used to being alone.
I made Gerard shut up about families or the baby for the rest of the night and we just watched movies and hung out like we always did. I liked it. Nearing one in the morning we started to get tired so we wrapped our self’s in blankets and fell asleep on the sofa. I was just about to close my eyes when I felt a weird pain in my stomach, it made my eyes shoot open. I waited a few seconds and it happened again. That’s when I started to freak out, what if I was miscarrying? What if I killed my baby?
It kept happening over and over but in different spots of my stomach, as it happened I felt tears roll down my face. Gerard had already fallen asleep but I shook him awake.
“What?” He asked, but when I saw I was crying he came closer to me and wiped away my tears. “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know, I kept getting weird pains in my stomach. What if I’m miscarrying?”
He brought his hands down to my stomach and started feeling around. Soon as smile appeared on his face.
“You’re not miscarrying, the baby is kicking.” He said and laughed a bit before his hands more around my stomach.
“That’s our baby.” He said.
