Surprise Surprise... Baby 6's P.O.V

***Summer's Point of View; Warning- Crude Language***

 I had been dating Conner O'Toole for about four months now. Mom doesn't know anything about our relationship, and I don't tend on telling her anything until it feels right to. Connor's parent's don't know anything about us either.

On Tuesday night, I went over to Conner's house because he said his parent's were out of town for the week. I put on my cutest dress and put my hair up. It was the least I could do since I wasn't getting my extensions until later in the week. When I got there, Connor caught me by surprise and pulled me into a kiss. We stood there on the front porch just kissing, and then I asked where we were going for our date since he hadn't told me yet.

"It's a surprise love. I can't tell you! Just meet me in the car in five minutes. You'll see where we're going soon!" He pecked my cheek, and I ran into his house to freshen up.

Wherever we were going was going to be amazing.

 The rest of the night passed in a blur, and I woke up with a terrible feeling in my stomach. I jumped out of bed and It got worse.

What could honestly be causing this? Maybe it's just part of a hangover from last night. I can't remember clearly, but I think we went to a club...

I clenched my gut, and ran to the bathroom. All I knew, was that the rest of the day was going to be horrible.

 I got down on my hands and knees, and threw up the entire contents of my stomach. I didn't know what had overcome me. I had never been this sick before in my life, and I'm sure any sickness isn't supposed to be this bad. After my nice welcome to the morning, I looked through the medicine cabinet and checked for some Advil, anything to get my headache away. Since mom didn't believe in medicine, I had to go to the store just to get some. I didn't want to drive at all! My head was killing me, and my back and stomach were so sore from whatever had happened last night.

 I got back to the house, and mom was standing outside. I just walked past her without making any eye contact. I didn't want her to know that I had gone to the store to get pain meds, she can read me like a book.
"Summer! Where have you been? Your bed needs to be made!" She called out.
"I'm just doing that now! No need to worry mom!"
I kept walking, and she said nothing else. I could tell she was thinking about where I had been in the past half hour.

 I went upstairs to make my bed, but fell asleep instead. I woke up the next morning with more sickness. I thought I had finally caught the bug that was going around school. I mean, half my class was missing last week. It was the most logical thing to even think about.

 Mom had invited me to go with her to check out this new saloon that had opened in town. There was no one there, not even a bartender or anything! I was shocked at what I saw. I also ended up throwing up in the middle of the floor, and I did my best not to show mom. She would have been on my case the entire rest of the day if she had seen what I just did.

"Hey mom," I called out once I was done, "can we go home now? There's no one here! We might as well leave."
"Okay summer, I'll meet you in the car."
                                                                             She walked out of the building, and then I felt a kick.

What the hell was that?! I thought.

I looked down, and rubbed my tummy.

That's impossible! Conner would have used protection... Even if we did, there's no way I would have let him! I can't be...--

I cut myself off from my thoughts. I went out to the car, and mom asked me why I had taken so long to get to the car.

"Bathroom break..." I lied.

When we got home I went down into mom's bathroom to look for some tests. I finally found one, and put everything back to the way it was so that she wouldn't have noticed that I had been down there. She really hates it when we go through her stuff. I took one of the tests, and another, and another. They all came back the same.

Positive.

I was absolutely bewildered. I called Conner and told him what I had found out. He called me a whore, and never to talk to him again. He didn't want a kid at 16, and he didn't want anything to do with me. I ran to my room which mom had specially designed to be in the barn, jumped into my bed, and cried until I fell asleep.

 When I woke up, there was a bigger bump then there had been the day before. My new outfit was a little snug, but thank god I knew how to losen it out. I did that, and set up my camera to take a shot of what my belly looked like. I wanted to see how big I was, and if it was really noticiable. I mean, my baby bump and all. I looked down, and patted my belly. I was happy, yet scared to death about what I was going to do. I could hide the baby from mom. I could build some walls in my room, and get one of my friends from school to say that I've been really sick! It was the best I could do.

I went out into the backyard to find mom just weeding the garden, one of her many Friday pass times.

"Hey mom! Can I stay home from school today?" I asked in the most innocent voice I could.
"Why would you want to do that? And have you gained some weight?" She cocked her head to once side.

"I haven't been feeling all that well. And I was going to get Skye to bring today's homework to me. And I haven't gained a pound... I just had - a big breakfest." my voice was shaky.

"Well, I guess it's alright. Just this once!"

Yes! Mom agreed.

"Mom, do you think I could go to the store to get some gingerale? My stomach has been bothering me, and we have none."
"I guess, just be back soon."
"Thanks mom! I'll be back soon. I promise."

 I turned and ran. And I kept running. So much for driving. I didn't look back, but I could tell that mom was watching me. Her eyes are like daggers digging into my back. I wasn't the best of liers, but she thankfully believed me this time. I couldn't hide from her forever, but I wasn't ready to tell her anything. I was more scared of what she would do to me than ever before. She had only ever yelled at me once before, and that was because I had come home in a cop car from being five minutes past the legal curfew. I ran all the way to the pool. It was where I had always felt safe. Swimming was the one thing that calmed me down! When I got there, I saw Bynni, and called her over.

 Mom was going to catch on soon enough...
I couldn't believe how stupid I had been to let Conner take control like that, and now there was life inside of me. I'm just a teenager! I have no job, no where to go, and now, I have another life to take care of.

"Bynni! Over here!" I called.

"Hey sis! Have you been gaining some weight? That swimsuit doesn't fit you like it used ...to."
"Um yeah... About that, well you see-" I was cut off.
"Don't tell me you're....." Bynni was speechless.
I nodded my head, and shock overcame Bynni's face. She couldn't believe it, and neither could I really.
"Summer! You're just a teenager! Mom's gonna kill you!"
"I know Bynni! I know! But what am I gonna do?!"

There was nothing I could do. My life was over! I had to protect me and my baby from mom. Bynni was the only person that knew besides Conner, and I didn't know what to do. I'm helpless, and just my body was telling everyone that.
