"Hey Mom and Dad, I know you are on vacation, but when you get this message can you please call me back?" I left my parents a voicemail, while holding Edward's hand. Of course they didn't answer, when did they ever have time for me? I promised myself that I would never be the type of parent to leave their kid at home for weeks on end without a call. I, as well as Edward, knew first hand what that felt like, and I never want my child to feel like they are unwanted or unloved.
"Are you hungry?" I directed my attention back to Edward, away from my bad thoughts, and tried to busy myself in the kitchen.
"Yeah, babe, can you make Caesar salad? You know I love that," I nodded and got out all the ingredients to make one of his favorite foods. Edward immediately came up behind me and started to cut the lettuce.
"Okay, so we have to talk about this. I have been trying to let you have your time to process, but if we are going to tell our parents, we need to have a plan," Edward stopped cutting and looked at me straight on. I knew this was coming; it wasn't his personality to just sit back and let things happen without a game plan.
"Yeah, I know we need to have a serious talk about this. How about you get out plates, silverware, and drinks for us, and I will finish making the food. We can talk over lunch?" I asked, hoping to push off the conversation for just a little while longer. I knew we eventually had to talk about it, but I was in no hurry to hear about how our lives had to drastically change.
"Yeah, sounds good," Edward grabbed the materials and started to set the table. As soon as I was done with the salad, I walked over and joined him at my huge kitchen table. I dished out the food and sat down.
"Okay, so I think before we tell the parents, we need to have everything planned out. We may be teenagers and completely messing up our future right now, but the last thing I want is for them to think we are going to be unable to provide for this baby," Edward said. I looked into his eyes, and liked what I saw. He was really doing this with me; he wasn't going to leave or make me tell the parents by myself. He really loves me. I leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Yeah, so I think the most important thing is to stress that we are still going to go to college. Obviously, I won't be able to play volleyball anymore because I will have to take too much time off; however, you can still play baseball," I got up and grabbed a pen and paper to make a list of the major points we needed to hit on in the conversation with our parents. Also, I wanted a written list of all the things we were promising ourselves, that way we couldn't back out later when things got too hard.
"I'll still play baseball, if that's okay with you. Not only will it help with the cost of schooling, it will show our parents that we still have our goals. I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. I am so sorry you have to give up the sport you have played your whole life. You finally got the scholarship of a lifetime, and now you have to give it up. I understand if you want me to give up baseball," Edward looked at me with pleading eyes. I would never make him give up anything, let alone the sport he loves.
"Absolutely not! You are not giving up baseball; you worked way to hard to get this scholarship, and there's not actual reason why you couldn't play. You are taking the scholarship end of story," I felt my temper rising at the thought of him giving something up because of me.
"Aright, only if you are sure. Now, we both have trust funds, so there's not really a reason we should ever be worried about money. Unless, they get our grandparents to cut us off, there's no reason why we would ever need to deal with money,"
"Oh my God, Edward, do you think they will cut us off? I mean I know they will be mad at us, but do you really think they will take away our trust funds? We will have no way to take care of the baby then, let alone pay for college now that I lost my scholarship!" I was boarderline hyperventilating now; I don't know what I would do if I couldn't go to college. I would never be able to become the business woman I wanted to be.
"No, I don't think that would happen. Our parents love us, even if they have bad ways of showing it. They wouldn't do anything to harm our future, especially if they know we are taking full responsibility for our actions. It would be way different if we decided to not go to college and live off our families for the rest of our lives. We are going to do this the right way," Edward dropped a kiss to my forehead and wrote down 'baseball scholarship' on the notepad.
"So this may be really early, but I have to know," I hesitated as Edward nodded at me to continue, "how are we going to live? I mean we can't have the baby split up between two houses, and I am going to have the baby senior year. I really don't want the baby to grow up without their dad in their lives all the time," I looked down at my hands. I couldn't see his face when he finally realized how hugely this was going to affect out lives. He lifted my chin up and looked directly into my eyes.
"It's not too early to be thinking about this. We have a lot of growing up to do in not a lot of time. I don't want to be separated from my child either, even if it's for the shortest of time. College will be no worries because I was already planning on asking you to share an apartment with me before the whole baby situation even happened," He gave me his beautiful smirk, "This just makes us have to move in together earlier. I guess we would have to figure it out with our parents. If they won't let us live together at one of their houses, I guess we can just rent an apartment until we go off to school," I smiled a 100 watt smile and jumped into his lap. He always knew exactly what to say to me. I peppered his face with kisses before finally kissing him on the lips.
"I love you so much, Babe. I don't know what I would do without you," I told him as I continued to kiss him down his neck.
"I love you too, sweet girl. You'll never have to find out what life is like without me; I will always be here for you. I promise." He tilted his head back to give me more access to his neck. Before either of us knew it, I was straddling his lap, and he was pushing my shirt up. I pulled his mouth into a searing kiss, claiming his lips as my own. I broke off the kiss long enough for us to get each other's shirts off. I pulled down his shorts, as he ripped off mine. Before I knew it, we were showing each other just how much we loved one another. It was the perfect ending to an imperfect day.
That night, I fell asleep wrapped up in his arms, thinking about how much I loved him.
