Naomi Black

"Naomi! Wakey wakey! We gotta go to the airport soon!" Nat knocked on my door as I let out a groan of annoyance.

Because I was fucking annoyed.

I just got home not even three hours ago from working, my feet hurt so bad—Mcdonalds was closed on the way home, and all I wanted was nuggets. This brings me to the topic of nuggets—god, I was fucking obsessed.

I couldn't get enough.

I was hungry for Mcdonald's Chicken Nuggets.

I slowly sat up in bed. Keyword on the slow because my stomach was raw–everything I ate had to smell a certain way and every room I entered had to smell good too. If not, I couldn't do it.

So far pregnancy has been miserable.

"Naomi, can I come in?" I chuckled at Finnegan's voice, looking at the time on my alarm clock.

It was seven in the morning for fucks sake. "Yes," I state, hopefully, I won't kill her. She's chipper in the morning, and the pregnant woman was not one to be fucked with.

My door was pushed open as she walked into my room–a smile on her face. Oh god, this was becoming a recurring thing.

She made grabby hands towards my stomach, and I laid back down, not even bothering sitting up. She walked towards me, and I raised my shirt.

She sat next to me on the bed and chuckled.

"Have at it–but if you make me vomit, you're cleaning it," I state as she giggles. Her cold hands lay flat on my tummy. No bump, I wouldn't start showing for a little while more.

I couldn't wait.

Seeing and feeling, the movements–all of it.

My mother on the other hand didn't have the slightest bump–how could she? She was using every type of drug at the time and I sadly wasn't growing. I was for sure fattening this baby up.

I felt like Matti was deprived of sugar as a kid because now all this baby wants is stuff that I wouldn't eat, but deep down I know he would.

"Hi, bean. I can't wait to meet you." I perked up at that nickname. Cracking a smile, "Bean?" I asked with humor present in my voice. She looked up at me and smiled. "Yeah, bean." I giggled.

Bean.

Cute.

"Your stomach has gotten harder." She states as I nod. "Yes, it doesn't hurt but it feels as if I'm carrying a million rocks at the moment. It just feels heavy." I try to explain as she frowns.

"You okay?" I ask as I see her frown.

"I can't have kids." I give her a look of horror as she gives me a small smile. "Finn—oh my god. I'm so sorry. I'm like rubbing this stuff in your face, I'm so sorry." I couldn't apologize enough.

She grabbed my hand.

"Naomi, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for this baby. I'm serious. I will go lesbian and marry you if it needs a father to sign its permission slip. And I'm adopting, it's okay. I promise." She smiles at me as I try to build one up.

"I just hope you consider me for a godmother." She states, quietly as I nod.

"Cross my heart and hope to die. I will consider it." I squeeze her palm as she slowly gets off my bed. "I'm going to get ready. I have classes. However, I hope surprising Matti tonight goes well. Please call me and let me know his reaction. I love you." She leans down to hug me as I squeeze her.

"Yo! Baby mama! Let's go! Get in that shower and scrub that milf body!" Sloane yelled from outside of the room as I groaned—Finn letting out a loud laugh. I get out of my bed and walk to the shower flipping off the other two girls who were standing at the end of the hallway watching me make sure I was alive.

I slam the bathroom door closed, and walk over to the shower–turning on the water.

I strip naked and admire my growing body in the mirror.

It was okay that I was growing–I was making a human.

I grabbed my towels and washcloth, setting them to the side.

I walked back over to the shower and entered into the steaming hot water. This was supposed to be relaxing, it was supposed to make me feel good.

But it wasn't.

I squealed as soon as the hot water hit my nipples, immediately reaching to turn off the shower. I knew exactly what that meant. My milk was coming in. "What's wrong!" Sloane yelled, banging on the door.

I quickly stepped out of the shower, wrapping my body in the towel, and walked to the door opening it. Three of them surrounded the bathroom door and as soon as they saw me, they looked relieved.

"My milk is coming in!" I state as they freeze. One by one they started cheering. All four of us had the biggest smiles on our faces. "Woo! Officially a cow!" Nat yelled, high-fiving me. We all giggled, but then I shooed them away. I needed to shower.

Once I returned to the shower–I adjusted the temperature and made sure my very sensitive nipples weren't in the way of the water. After my shower, I walked back into my room and changed into the comfiest clothing I had.

After that, I settled down at my desk to write one more letter. I wanted to make sure I had gotten all of my feelings off my chest. If not, I might act a little irrational whenever I see him.

Dear Matti,

I am scared.

I know it will be okay though with any outcome. Don't get mad, I went to the first doctor's appointment a couple of days ago. It went amazing and I can't wait for you to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was a moment that I'll never forget and I hope that you would never forget it as well. I hope you get the chance to hear it- I hope you don't give up on us. I know you'll be scared at first, but it will be okay. There isn't one obstacle that we haven't faced that we haven't gotten through together. Matti- we were looking at names. Well, the girls and I were.

I've decided- the 'J' thing is staying with our babies forever.

We're so proud of you and you don't even know there's a baby involved in us yet! You have another person cheering you on! Whatever the distance is, we can make it work.

I was doing deep thinking last night and maybe if you want we could do the first year with the baby at grandma and grandpa's house? I think it's perfect.

I know it's not butlers and nanny's galore, but we could do it without them.

Bean is what Finn started calling the baby today

I'm scared of the fact that you'll be mad at me. That's honestly the worst scenario. I know that our life will be crazy with a baby but I'm willing to give up nursing for a few years to finish our dream together. We could do it- and we'd make an amazing team.

This is going to sound disgusting to you, but my boobs are so sore. This means that I'm going to be lactating soon, that's crazy- right? You did this to me!

God- I'm just so happy Matti.

Whether you want the baby or not, just know that you have helped me have my happy ending in more ways than one. However, I don't want him or her to have another dad.

Please stay with us, Matti.

We deserve it.

Mommy and baby. ( Still nine weeks but we're about to tell daddy!)

P.S. LOOK AT MY FIRST PICTURE DADDY!

I capped the pen, folded the paper, and placed it inside of the envelope.

This was it.

Tonight he was going to know everything, absolutely everything. Nine weeks and a couple of days, he was going to either leave or stay. I had to make myself strong. I had to drill in my mind that it would be okay no matter the outcome.

I had to be a strong mom.

I stood up, getting off of my chair. I grip the envelope in between my fingers, walking over to my carry-on and placing it on the inside pocket. There was no way I was traveling without all of the baby notes.

I hoped that he would love reading those.

And maybe the baby would love to look back on them someday. Maybe we could all laugh as a family looking at them whenever he or she was graduating from college.

I bit my lip, placing my flat palm on top of my stomach.

I was so scared for the baby.

No matter how much of a strong mom I could be, it would ruin so much if he wasn't present in their life. He would be an amazing dad, I just needed him there for them the way our dads weren't there for us.

I knew what it was like always going to the school functions growing up. Never attending a father-daughter dance, while the other girls got to.

Watching kids play on the swings as their dads pushed them while I had to learn to swing with my own tiny, yet mighty legs.

I just wanted better for them.

Banging was heard breaking me out of my thoughts.

I felt goosebumps rise on my skin.

"What the fuck—Hey! You can't just barge in here like that!" I heard Natalie screaming as I sucked in a breath.

What the hell was going on out there?

Then suddenly my door handle was being jiggled and my door was being banged.

"Naomi! Open up the door. Let's talk!" The voice yelled at me, and I was surprised.

Reese?

I cautiously walked over to the door–slowly opening it. I had to be cautious, you don't poke a sleeping bear. I raised an eyebrow to the boy that was gripping the ends of his hair.

I opened the door all of the ways and he paused, looking me up and down.

Oh God, Dr. Joseph didn't tell him, did she?

"Don't tell me it's true." He states but I'm taken back–his tone cold. I frown, "What is it?" I ask as he scoffs. "You're fucking knocked up!" He yelled as I took a step back.

Before I could respond, three girls were at my doorway behind him.

"Don't talk to her and bean-like that!" Finn yelled as he didn't bat an eye at her words.

"Well, are you?" He asks again, even more asshole present in his tone. I walk over to my bed and take a seat- I didn't want my heart rate to climb. I shrug, "And if I am?" I ask with humor in my voice.

Typical Reese would've laughed.

This was not typical Reese.

I screamed as the girls flinched when Reese's fist went through my door.

My mouth dropped open. "Reese! What the actual fuck is wrong with you?" I yell at him, getting up from sitting down. He was breathing hard.

"You're joking right?" He asks as I shake my head.

"I'm pregnant, Reese," I state as he pauses nodding.

He pulls his fist out of the hole in the door as blood drips down onto my floor. He shakes his head. "How could you be so stupid? You just started your life- and now you're going to be losing it all..." He states as I roll my eyes.

"I'm not here for a lecture," I state as he narrows his eyes.

"No, but you're going to listen to my opinion anyway. You're going to hate it, but it's true." He glares at me as I frown. "You're pregnant, falling into the same hole that your mother did. All you have ever wanted was to accomplish your dreams—you didn't even want to be a mom! And now that you've met a guy, you're pregnant and want to be a mom!" He exclaims as I chuckle.

"Well yeah, that's kind of how meeting the right person works," I state as he freezes me.

And that's when my heart broke for Reese at that moment because I think I knew why he was torn.

Reese was in love with me and by me having a baby with Matti—it meant that he had no chance with me.

His eyes glazed over, his face turning beat red. He swallows hard before nodding, "Happy? You want me to be happy? You're right Naomi, you sure did meet one hell of a guy." He states with an attitude.

I suck in a breath, he turns on the balls of his feet.

"Don't call me when you need me to play step-dad for kids that don't have a biological father that wants them." And that's when my heart breaks the most. He walks away as I try to follow but the girls won't let me.

I heard the door slam as Reese Joseph left my apartment, tears in his eyes heartbroken over the fact that the only girl he wanted was chasing after his best friend–that treated her horribly.

"NJ, you okay?" Nat asks as she takes a step towards me but I'm glued to where I was watching Reese leave.

"I don't know what just happened?" I ask in shock. Sloane was examining the door, which had a nice big- fist-sized hole in it.

"I'll tell you what happened," Finn stated as I raised an eyebrow, turning towards her. She chuckled, "That boy has been in love with you since you couldn't reach the Sweet Tea in the cafe and wouldn't accept Matti's help. He's stuck by you through everything and now that Matti's gone- he was probably hoping you would feel the same way too." I stare—blankly.

I'm unable to comprehend this information.

"I don't know, NJ. He has been calling and texting you more–he is, he was head over heels for you. You having this baby with another guy just broke his heart." Finn finished as I frowned.

I wasn't going to cry.

I wasn't going to scream.

My eyes flashed to the clock and nodded towards Nat.

I wanted to leave this down before I lost my mind.

Disregarding everything that Finn had said, I spoke, "Can we leave early?" I ask. She frowns, "If you want to I can text the pilot of the jet. No problem." I nod as she exits the room.

I walk back over to my bed and sit down, Mimi following suit. As usual- laying on my side, head on my tummy. "He'll get over it. Finn, now you got her all worked up! Apologize to her and beans!" Sloane yelled as Finn put her hands up in defense.

"Hey! I was just doing the right thing as an honest best friend!" Finn defended as Sloane snorted. "Don't do it in the third trimester or I'm pretty sure the pregnant woman will burn you alive!" She joked as I sat still on my bed still assessing the damage.

Reese had done nothing wrong to me.

"Nice guys always finish last." Finn opens her mouth one last time before Sloane ushers her out of my room. Sloane then walks over to my bed, hugging me. "You love him and this baby. This baby is half of him which makes you love both even more- just forget everything Finn just put into your head."

But I couldn't.

"He won't tell anyone right?" I ask as Sloane nods. "He better not or I will seriously kick his ass back to Beverly Hills." I chuckle.

Natalie appears at my door, "Hey jet is ready whenever you are, pumpkin." She smiles at me before walking out of my room. I bite my nails, as Sloane fusses about me biting them.

But a broken nail was the least of my problems when I could be dealing with a possible broken 'family'.

"Wait–I need to do something," I state out of the blue as Sloane sits up, looking at me wide-eyed. She nodded for me to continue, but I was already out of the bed. Shoving my white vans on–she looked at me with wide eyes.

"What? Where are we going?" She asks as shushes her. She raises her eyebrows. "Give me your keys," I spoke as she looked at me like I had two heads.

"No! You're in a manic episode! Tell me so you don't kill yourself and bean!" She whispers and yells as I groan–throwing my hands in the air.

"I want to go to the field. Take me to the field." I ushered out my request as she nodded, accepting. I walk out of my room first–she follows. I grab something off of the counter and nod towards Nat.

"I'm going to talk to coach." She smiles at me. "Okay, leave in an hour?" She asks as I nod.

I raced down the steps–carefully.

I flew out of the apartment building as Sloane tried to keep up with me. Which was the best part, I was shorter and carrying a baby, and she still couldn't keep up with me. She unlocked the sports car and I got in.

She followed while turning on the car. Her fingers gripped the wheel and she nodded.

"What are we going to do at the field?" She asks as I nod, blowing out the air in between my lips. "I want to talk to Uncle Bud." I gave her the short answer, but there was so much more to it than she knew.

She pulled onto College Avenue– the cold air turning warm with the heat of the car.

"Okay, so. Correct me if I'm wrong but Dr. Joseph could get sued for telling Reese?" She asks as I chuckle–giving a slow nod. "Yes, because I never signed anything for her to talk to other people about. I'm just terrified. What if he tells Blake and Blake tells Matti?" I spoke out of breath as she frowned, reaching over and gripping my hand.

"It will be okay. I promise Reese won't say anything- he's not like that." She states as I nod.

I wished and hoped he would keep his mouth shut, but I never knew with any of these boys.

"Okay-" She pulls into a parking spot, slapping the dashboard.

"Get out, I'll wait here." She smiles at me as I slowly get out and walk towards the doors. It was locked for a moment before I was buzzed in. Before I could even look down the hallway- someone was already looking down the hallway at me.

I gave a small smile to Uncle Bud as he waved for me to follow him into his office.

The only thing heard was my footsteps echoing, this could either go great or horribly.

Hopefully well?

I arrived at the office, walking into and sitting across from him. He took small sips out of his mug, nodding at me.

"Well–why are you here, Black?" He asks as I suck in a breath. "How long for Aunt Helen to get to campus?" I ask as he furrows his eyebrows at me- pushing back his chair and tilting his head.

"What happened?" He asks as I nod.

"I need to talk to both of you," I state as he gives a nod.

"Well, she should be-" He was cut off by footsteps entering his office. He clapped, "My beauty! Naomi wanted to talk to us!" He exclaimed as the short woman walked over to the chair next to me, but not before hugging me.

I haven't felt a hug from a body like that since my mom–that alone was almost making me cry.

I suck in a breath as they look at me, waiting. I cleared my throat, " I need to have my trust fund transferred." I state as Helen sat up, uncrossing her legs. I let out a breath.

"And I'm not going to waste it even though you guys think I will–but I won't. I need it as a backup plan." I muttered out the last part as coach cleared his throat, placing both of his palms flat on the desk.

"Can we ask why?" Helen states, worried.

I wince.

Here goes nothing.

"Because if tonight goes wrong–I want to make sure I'm secure," I state as coach chuckled. "Matti will make it to the draft, if not his dad is a billionaire." He chuckled.

But I wasn't talking about Matti's draft.

"Not Matti–me. Because I'm nine weeks pregnant." I sat back in my chair as Helen's mouth dropped open and the coach raised his eyebrows at me. He chuckles before pointing his finger back and forth at me.

"You're what?" He asks me to restate as I suck in a breath.

"I was
