Caleb P.O.V
We all subconsciously decided now was the best time to tell them. I know it's early, but if we told them now, it would be less stress in the future, right? At least... that's what I'm hoping for. We were all in the elevator when I finally spoke up.
"Guys... You're all probably thinking the same, but I'm gonna say it; we need to tell them, right?", their eyes shot up at my words, and they all slowly nodded. I sighed and continued speaking. "It'll be easier if we just get it over and done with now. That way we avoid future stress, so.. I'm gonna tell them. Right now.", I mumble the last part but they still managed to hear it. Aidan's eyes seemed to widen as he made his way over to me and hugged me close, resting his face in my hair.
"Are you sure? I don't want you getting stressed.", he whispers. loud enough so that only I hear. I wrap my arms around him and nod. 'He's just too sweet sometimes, even if it did take him a while to open up.', I thought as I released him from the hug, but kept him close. I leaned up to kiss his cheek, but just as I did, the elevator door opened, revealing the rest of the class. Frozen in place, I began blushing and hiding behind Aidan. He laughed, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me next to him. I looked to my right and saw Jordan and Ry. I gave them a look that asked them if they were okay with me telling the class and got a smile from Ry and a nod from Jordan in response.
We walked out of the elevator together, and I couldn't help but feel nervous. 'What if they're disgusted with me? Or end up hating me? Oh god, what if they stop being friends with me over this?!', panic began to rise in me, but I calmed down when I felt Aidan squeezing my hand. I squeezed it back and dragged him over to the front of the room. Knowing I was nervous, Aidan spoke first.
"Right, I'm just gonna say it; I put a bun in Caleb's oven.", he announces. I physically facepalm at his blunt nature - he could've at least put it differently. The reaction time was a little delayed, but when it had finally sunk in, utter chaos erupted between my classmates. The girls began squealing in excitement and bouncing around while everyone else stared at them funny. Well, except for Matthew. He had a look on his face of pure shock - there's no doubt we'll be getting a lecture from him at some point. As if on cue, Iida walked towards us, arms flying around in the air.
"Caleb, Aidan! This is extremely irresponsible and reckless of you both, I hope you understand that your actions will lead to future consequences. But.. that aside, I would like to congratulate you on your child, and rest assured that if you ever need any help, I'll be willing to help.", he said with his usual assertive tone. Smiling, I nod my head and we both thank him, to which he shakes our hands, smiling back. As Matthew walks away, the group of girls approach me. They're all smiling widely, but something seems off about it. Once they were all stood in front of us, I spoke up.
"Uhm.. is everything alright?", I ask with a small smile. They all smirk simultaneously, giving each other looks before glancing back at me. I sweat-dropped at their faces, leaning into Aidan as I did. Everything was quiet for a minute until Amber stepped forward, placing her hand on my shoulder. Next thing you know, I'm being dragged away by the girls, all of them asking countless questions and fangirling about the whole pregnancy situation. Sighing, I continued going with them because I knew I'd just be here for longer if I tried to get away. 'Good luck with the guys, Aidan. I have no doubt they'll be questioning you.', I thought as we entered Roxanne's room.
Felix P.O.V
Holy crap! Caleb's pregnant and he's a dude! I seriously can't believe that he and Aidan did the- wait. Shit.
"Guys, how do we even know it's Aidan's kid after what Derek did yesterday? And even after that, how do we know that, after what he did, the kid's okay? I mean, there's just a hundred things that could've gone wrong simply in that one day.", I spoke up to them, waving my arms around in over-the-top gestures. When I looked at everyone's faces, they looked a mix of worried, disgusted and annoyed. But nothing could compare to Aidan's reaction; he literally fainted.
"Dumbass, why the hell would you say something like that? I know it's all valid but seriously, we're all stressed enough without you opening your shitty mouth!", Jordan screamed, launching himself at me. 'Crap!', I thought as I was tackled to the ground. Then everything went weird.
Jordan P.O.V
That stupid dipshit! He could've kept his damn mouth shut but he didn't! I launch myself at him, ready to knock him straight to hell, but decide to do something much more.. amusing. I found a roll of tape on the table and covered his eyes, then sat him down on the couch, proud of myself. Thank fuck everyone finds him being blind as a bat funny or I'd have been lectured big time later.
"Okay, we need to address the crap that dumbass said. Aidan's out cold, so we'll explain.", I say in probably the calmest tone I've ever used with them. Everyone nods and encourages me to go on. "Right, we've known that he's knocked up for a week now. That's why he was off school; we were all reluctant to let him go back and stress himself out. Anyway, the second thing he said - is true.. we haven't exactly had him checked over yet so we're just hoping that the brat's okay. I mean, Aidan said he's still got the symptoms so we think they're fine.", I finish, then making my way over to Ry and standing behind him, wrapping an arm around his waist.
"Okay, I understand everything you just said but.. you actually care about Caleb?! I mean, come on man! You used to shout at him all the time.", Jake reasoned, making me groan and bury my head in Ry's neck.
"Yeah, bro, but he just didn't know how to express himself properly. That's why he's so aggressive.", he explains to me and I visibly relax once he has. We all discussed everything for a little longer, and then the girls brought Caleb back down, wide smiles on their faces, but he didn't look too happy. He looked worn out and frustrated. A small laugh escaped my lips seeing him like this; they were probably asking him loads of questions.
"What's so funny, Jordan?", he asks with a little anger lacing his tone.
"They did a number on you, huh? How many questions?", I reply, making everyone else laugh along with me. He just huffs and crosses his arms, but eventually joins in on the laughing. Once we'd calmed down, he began looking around the room before his eyes landed on Aidan. His eyes widened and he ran over to him, frantically checking for any injuries and seeing if he had a temperature or not.
"What the hell happened?! I was only gone for a little while and he has a damn temperature!", he shrieked, sprinting to the kitchen to wet a flannel. 'Great, he's probably sick now. Stupid fucking Felix.', I thought, letting out a long breath. As Caleb came back in, he placed the flannel on Aidan's head and sat down next to him, worried. Knowing someone had to tell him, I decided to explain myself before any of these people did it for me.
"Well, Felix made a dumb-ass comment that worried him out of his mind and then he passed out. As for the temperature, maybe it's just a fluke or something, probably shock,", I explained. There was a moment of silence before he sighed, looking over at me. Looking at his eyes, they seemed to look glassy, as if he was about to cry. But before I could ask him if he was alright, he had turned away, fussing over Aidan again. 'Crap, he's definitely upset.', I thought. Wrapping my arms around Ry tighter, I lean down to whisper something to him. "Babe, you should probably go and comfort Caleb. I'll try and get Aidan to wake up before you come back with him.". He nodded slightly, wriggling out of my grip and over to our friend.
"Hey, Caleb, come with me for a second, alright? I just need to talk to you quickly. The others will watch over Aidan.", he encourages, sitting next to him and wrapping an arm around his shoulder. Caleb still didn't speak, but quickly kissed Aidan's cheek, then reluctantly let go of his hand and stood up with Ry. 'Okay, now to get him to wake up.', I thought. I grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen and slowly walked over to him. Smirking, I stood behind the sofa he was on and began tipping the cold liquid over his head. He sprung up, hair dripping wet, and looked around the room, stunned.
"W-what the hell happened? And why am I wet?", he asked. Everyone burst into fits of laughter at the scene; a basically emotionless guy, reacting to water as if he had just been jump-scared.
"I... I can't! Aidan, your- your face..", Roxanne breathed out, still laughing her ass off. Hearing the racket we were making, Ry and Caleb came back into the room, looking confused as to what was going on. When they saw Aidan awake, Caleb practically flew across the room and attacked him with hugs. Aidan simply chuckled and hugged him back, kissing his cheek and ignoring the "aww"s from the girls. The rest of the night was filled with comforting Caleb, watching movies and the girls fawning over the idea of a baby being around soon.
