Woop! Another chapter! I am actually having a lot of fun with this legacy!
I slowly crawled out of bed, trying not to wake up Matty. I slipped on my glasses and a football jersey to feel less... exposed. The massive hangover caused my head to pound.
I heard a door shut quietly and glasses clinking. Oh great. Matty.
Matty: Morning, Riley! How'd you sleep?
Riley: Um, not sure if I got enough sleep...
Matty: Oh... That...
I went into the bedroom to go change and came back out to find that Matty was now eating cereal.
Riley: Matty... Can we talk?
Matty: Can we talk while I eat my cereal?
Riley: No Matty. It's kind of important.
I sounded blunt and honest. I really didn't know how to go upon this.
Riley: So as you know... We did some certain stuff last night. And I just wanted to say... I thought you were gay. You like guys, not girls.
Matty put his arm around me. By this point I let him, what is there to do.
Matty: I'm not. Well I am. Just not completely.
I relaxed my head against his bare shoulder.
Riley: Why didn't you tell me sooner?
He slowly pressed an innocent kiss on my lips.
Matty: Because the reason I am bisexual is because I am madly in love with you.
He pushed the kiss harder against my lips, more passionatly.
Riley: Umm, excuse me a moment...
The sudden nausea took over my system.
Clearly it had to be from the hangover...
Right?
When I arrived back to Matty he had gotten off the couch and started to clean the room, when he saw me he smiled. And gave me a light kiss on the cheek.
I wrapped my arms around his body my fingers playfully caressing his bare neck.
Matty: I know how I feel about you. I really do. But I wanted to know if you feel the same?
My heart broke. If I feel the same? I really honestly didn't know.
Riley: To be honest Matty... I don't know how I feel yet. I mean I know I love you, but I'm not sure if I am in love with you. I am willing to give you a chance though.
I smiled and grabbed his hand.
Matty: I don't want to force you into anything you are uncomfortable with...
Riley: Trust me, you aren't. We have been friends forever. No wait, best friends. And we live together and sleep in the same bed. Not much would be changing!
Matty: You know this is why Jason never liked you...
Matty: He's always been jealous that my heart was set to you, and not to him.
Riley: Ha, it all makes sense now. Jealousy always does get to the best of us.
Matty: I want to apologize for that, but it's over and done with, with him.
Riley: Well, now I get you to myself.
I giggled girlishly, something very unlike me.
I embraced him warmly once again, who knows where this would go.
Riley: I heard there is a meteor shower tonight... Want to go watch it?
We sat outside the house letting the small lamps leaking through the windows dimly lighting the grass.
His hands crawled over mine, and squeezed lightly.
I needed to tell him something, but it had to wait, I didn't want to ruin the moment.
We sat and enjoyed each others companies, the stars flying over us.
But we could hardly take our eyes off eachother.
Riley: Awh crap. Is it showing? Am I showing? How do I start... Matty there is something I got to tell you? No... Matty guess what! No...
I decided to let the subject drop for the night. While Matty was showering I changed into sweats and patted the newfound life in my stomach.
Riley: Matty! I don't expect you to stay with me after I tell you this... But... I'm... We're expecting a baby!
Sudden shock crossed his face. I was prepared for him to end it right then and there.
But he was giddy and full of excitement.
Matty: I would never leave you Riley.
His hands flew to the small bump formed on my stomach.
Riley: You know what I realized? We were never officially together all this time... I was wondering if you want to... in old school terms... go steady with me?
I smiled hopefully. I knew he would say yes, but who knows.
Matty: Well, Miss. Milson, of course I would love to be your boyfriend!
I kissed him and peace and tranquility flooded through me.
While sitting in the bedroom my peace and tranquility crashed with the sudden realize that this house had no room for a baby, well a crib would do for now, but still nonetheless.
And that is the story of how we got a crib for our expecting child.
During the pregnancy I enjoyed to paint, I wasn't very artistic, but I was happy doing so.
Matty had left the house to go buy books, he was going to be an amazing father, he bought books and took classes. And once he read through those books multiple times he would go out and buy more.
* * *
I entered the book store, trying to ignore the snickers and comments. It was tough being "out there". Not many people accepted the way I was, some people said their comments louder as I walked past. Someone even chucked a book at me. I winced as the sharp corners peirced my back, but I didn't say a word.
I bought the books as fast I could and gout of there, I didn't need to be tortured any longer.
As I was about to call a taxi out I saw an old friend from high school, Buck Broke.
Buck: Hey! Man! Haven't seen you since graduation! I heard you finally ended things with Jason, he is pretty pissed that he can't have you anymore. But another thing I heard is that you finally got the balls and starting dating Riley!
Matty: Yeah, me and Jason just weren't working out. But, yeah me and Riley are together. We are actually expecting a baby. That's why I am out right now without her. I had to pick up a few things.
Buck: Well congrats man! Glad to hear you got your life rollin'!
Buck: I am actually going to dinner with a date right now, so I can't stay and chat anymore, but here's my number, give me a call anytime!
Matty: It was good seeing you Buck. I'll stay in touch.
One thing about Buck, he doesn't judge. We've been pretty good friends throughout high school.
As I got home I plopped myself on the bed and started to read about the best techniques for childbirth. Thank God I was a guy, this shit looks painful.
I skimmed past the section until I found what I was looking for, "How to Calm Down The Cravings and Horomones in 5 Minutes!"
* * *
I was about finished with my painting when I felt incredibly tired and took a nap.
Matty: Riley... You weren't planning on doing anything with this painting were you?
Matty: Because I totally just screwed the whole thing up.
Matty: Oi! I think a little bit of yellow here, and orange there, I think it looks almost the same!
Matty: Yeah, good enough. She'll never notice.
One thing about this pregnancy it made me want to act a lot. It was strange, this whole thing was strange.
Riley: Avast ye maties! I think we hit land!
The whole thing was so strange that I even fell alseep in a public place. Now I know my mama always talked about stranger danger, but I couldn't help it!
When I finally did arrive home and pass out, I snuggled against Matty's warm body and smiled.
Riley: Awh crap, is that what's gonna happen to me... Is it too late to go back to that night and prevent everything from happening??
Soon enough after reading about child labor, I was set off and pain shot through. It felt like lightning passing through my spine.
Just now it processed that my life would never be the same again.
