what is it?” she asks worriedly.
“I’m pregnant,” I squeak out.
“Pregnant, what? Since when?” she asks sounding anything but thrilled.
“ I got pregnant in December,” I state truthfully.
“December,” she practically yells, ‘It’s June Haley, why are you just now telling me?”
Tears start flowing quickly, “Mom, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to let you down.”
“Sweetie,” she says in a calmer voice, “You didn’t let me down, I just didn’t expect it. I wish you would have told me sooner.”
“I didn’t want to disappoint you,” I say through the tears.
“You aren’t disappointing me or your father. Tell me about your pregnancy honey.”
“I didn’t find out I was pregnant until March, but I found out I’m having a little girl,” I say excitedly.
“A baby girl?” Mom coos.
“Yeah, and I plan to name her Lily.”
“That’s a beautiful name sweetheart.”
“Thanks Mom. I’m due at the end of September, so I’ll be back in plenty of time before she’s born,” I say reassuring Mom.
“Sweetie, that’s great and I’m glad to hear it, but Haley who is the father?” she asks softly.
“Umm…,” I stutter.
“Haley, you can tell me anything you know that. What’s going on?”
“I need you to not tell anyone, not yet anyway, please Mom,” I beg.
“I won’t tell anyone, but tell me what is going on,” she says a little more demanding now.
“Liam’s the father; he doesn’t know it yet though.”
“What? But he’s with Nina.”
“I know, but Mom, you can’t tell Denise or anyone. Please Mom.”
“I won’t, but I will be telling your father. You need to tell Liam sweetie. I don’t like the idea of keeping things, especially something this important from Denise. She deserves to know she’s going to be a grandmother too.”
“I know and they will both know soon, I promise.”
“Are you back with Liam?” she asks confused.
“No, Liam is with Nina.”
“I don’t want to know how it happened, that’s none of my business. I do want to know what’s going on from now on with your pregnancy. Keep me posted Haley.”
“I will, I promise. I love you Mom.”
“I love you too sweetheart. I’ll talk to you soon,” she says before disconnecting the call.
It feels like a weight has been lifted since telling my parents.
“That didn’t go so bad,” Kenzie says as she stares at me from across the room.
“No it didn’t. I’m glad they know.”
“You should have told them sooner.”
“Oh well, they know now.”
Just then my phone starts to ring, “Hey you,” I say to Brody when I answer.
“Hey, how are you doing?”
“I’m great.”
“Good,” he says sounding different.
“What’s going on?”
“I think you need to tell Liam now.”
“Why?” I ask confused.
“Because Hails, he needs to know.”
“I know, but what aren’t you telling me Brody?”
“He’s getting married next month.”
“Already?”
“Yeah, before he has to be back for training.”
“Good for him.”
“No Haley , it’s not. He needs to know about Lily.”
“Stop it, B rody! Why do you think if I tell him, it will stop this wedding?”
“Because I know how he feels and he doesn’t want to get married.”
“Then he shouldn’t get married. That should have nothing to do with me or Lily.”
“I just think you should tell him,” he says sounding defeated.
“I get that and I will when I get home.”
“Seriously?” he asks shocked.
“Yes, I thought about it and you guys are right, he does deserve to know.”
“That’s great news.”
“I told my Mom and D ad today, and that it’s Liam’s,” I admit.
“How did they take it?”
“They were shocked at first, but Mom’s excited.”
“I get that, but I’m glad she’ s excited. Your Mom loves babies,” he says laughing.
“I know , right. She’s going to spoil Lily so bad.”
“That’s what grandparents do
