Belle's POV
"What? What is this?" I asked flabbergasted. When was she ever with a guy?! Wow, that sounds bad, but I would've known if she had a boyfriend or something because she would close her mouth about him.
(Most of you readers might be wondering why Belle is surprised is because the pregnancy test shows positive so Chelsey is pregnant)
Putting a hand on her hips she gave me a look, "What do you mean 'what is this?' It's obvious what it is Bel. Hell, it even says it on the box!" I shushed her.
"I know! I meant why would you nee-actually," I grabbed my keys, leather jacket, and my bag. "Let's just go to the house."
Kaya came up to me. We always have lunch together so she's probably wondering what's going on. "Where are you going?"
I looked at her, "A problem came up and my Dad needs me at home right away."
She nodded, "Okay, good luck with that."
I smiled at her and Chelsey and I left.
~~~~~
"Okay, what's going on?" I asked Chelsey as we sped away from the school.
She looked nervous. "Remember that party we went to a while ago?"
I nodded, "Yeah, the Jenkin's boy's party?"
She nodded, "Yeah that one. Well, Mason was there and him and I hit it off pretty well. I woke up the next morning with him next to me, and-and-" I put a hand on her shoulders as she broke down in tears. "It's going to be okay, alright? We'll see what's going on. Even if you are pregnant it won't be the end of the world okay?"
"But the gang, the polic-"
Will (William) made a policy a few years back that stated that any gang member who gets someone or themselves pregnant is kicked out of the gang, but not before keeping them in a safe house for close to 3 months to make sure all plans are changed in the gang.
I parked the car in the driveway and we got out. "Leave that to me. Now let's go."
"So?" I asked as the timer went off. She paled and sank to the floor but not before showing me.
POSITIVE +
(they had to check again to see if she was exactly pregnant because some tests aren't always accurate so if you are pregnant or think you are, never do a test once, twice is a good amount for conformation)
I gasped. Well, that makes things quite a bit more complicated.
After a while of me thinking of a way to not bring attention to her pregnancy by the gang members so she won't be kicked out. I saw Chelsey getting sleepy.
I helped Chelsey up and brought her to her bed, being exhausted she fell asleep almost right away. I took the test and wrapped it back in the bag it came in, putting it in my pocket on my way out.
I stopped outside Will's office with my hand on the doorknob, thinking. I had planned on telling him then planning something out for her, but I don't have any idea how to help her yet. I have no chance of getting Will to make an exception if I don't even have a plan myself. For now, I'm just going to wait.
At least until I come up with an idea.
Now let's get food, I'm starving!
~~~~
One week later-
it's been a week and I still haven't thought of an idea it's the last. Of school and I'm an English class right now normally I'd pay attention to English is my thing but I can still trying to come up with an idea.
Chelsea had been to the doctor and they had guaranteed that yes she is pregnant.
the bell rang and I got up my stuff Maddie and JJ came to my side and started to talk. "Are you going to the end of the year party?" JJ asked us. Maddy shook her head "you know I never go to those things J " she spoke. He looked at me and I laughed "I don't know JJ and probably going to be busy." He sighed "you're always busy Bel. Just slow down a bit will you." Ha! try to say that when you're trying to come up with a plan for your pregnant cousin giving to your boss who's also a gang leader.
yeah I didn't think so
Brianna who was behind this time in though. "hey I'm going, but can I stay at yours? I'm going to need to tell my mom I'm working on a project could I say that I'm staying at your house belle?" she asked me I snapped my head to her and shook my head "yeah sure. not a problem" and then an idea came up to me. LIE!
I slapped my head and smiled. finally have an idea! I ran through the halls and grabbed Chelsey at her locker pulling her to mine and out the door. I made it to the house in 5 minutes when it was normally supposed to be a 15-minute trip. hey, I'm going to Street Racer so shove a sock in it!
forgetting Chelsey I ran up to William's office and slammed the door open he looked up at me surprised and scowled "you should be lucky that I wasn't busy."
I nodded half-heartedly at him and that was rummaging through my bag, "yeah, yeah I kno- aha! Gotcha!" I said as I grabbed the pharmacy bag that the pregnancy test was in and threw it on his desk in front of him he looks confused and open the back looking at the test. I put my bag down and took off my coat sitting in the chair
just in time for him to slam his hands on the desk and rise out of his chair with the darkest look on his face if I weren't sitting I'd l be shiting bricks.
"YOU GOT YOURSELF PREGNANT?! WITH WHO?!?! HOW DARE YOU! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SET AN 'EXAMPLE' TO THE OTHERS HERE! WHO'S IS IT?!?!"
I cringed at the volume of his voice and shook my head "it's not my test dumbass." Okay, I probably should have called and my dumbass but he deserved it for yelling at me.
"Excuse you?" he asked in a dark voice. I gulped then started to explain "it's not mine is Chelsey's- before you get up and kick her out let me explain-" as he got up to leave, he looked at me and nodded sitting back down "Go ahead"
I smiled and continued, "Chelsey got pregnant about a week ago. Although she is the big asset to this gang and if we lose her we lose a valued member. So I thought of a plan so we don't have to kick her out"
He stopped me there. "Belle we have to kick her out. It doesn't matter how good she is for the gang, she still got pregnant, and as the policy says she will get kicked out."
I pleaded with him, "But I have a plan, no one would know that she was pregnant!"
Leaning back in his chair he scanned my face. "Okay let's hear this big plan of yours."
the plan was simple really- she'll be still part of the gang until she started truly show then she'll be sent back to live with her father. she would live there until she had the baby and then decide if she wants to come back to the gang or not. while she's there should be able to give the same assignment but will you put more back burner and I will take over her duties. I volunteered as she's my cousin
He chuckled. "Wow, that is some plan you got there, Bel. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm willing to let it go through. You can do it, but this is kept under wraps. Meaning absolutely no one knows about it!" he pointed a finger at me.
I agreed. "Yes! Thank you so much, William!! I hugged him across the desk and he looked extremely surprised before he wrapped his arms around me also. "Okay okay, so leave. I have work to do."
I left with a blushing face as I realized what I did. 'you just hugged your boss. full body content there. Do you want to get killed?!?!'
As I was out the door Will called me, I turned to look at him and he threw the pregnancy test that I put in a ziplock at me. "I don't need that on my desk and I don't want to see something like that again, are we clear?" I nodded and hurriedly left.
William actually agreed. I was super surprised when he did, but I so happy for her! Dropping my things off at my room, I grabbed the ziplock bag and went up to Chelsey's room.
I knocked on the door three times. "Come in!"
Opening the door I found her on her bed doing homework. Yuck. I threw the bag at her, "You better love me." She raised her eyebrow confused until she saw the bag. "Wha-Did you?-what happened?"
I giggled and explained everything to her and the next thing I knew I was on the floor with a huge weight on me and a grinning Chelsey. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" I laughed. "Yeah, you're welcome now get off me, fatso!"
* * * * *
We laughed and talked for a bit before I left to go back to my room. I had a fight tonight and needed to get ready.
After taking a shower, I changed into Black spandex shorts and a Black Nike sports bra with some Nike shoes. I grabbed my knuckle tape and went downstairs to the kitchen. Coming into the kitchen I saw Alex in there eating pancakes. I looked over at the clock and laughed. "You realize it's seven at night, right?" I asked him with an eyebrow raised.
He nodded, "I can tell time smartass." I rolled my eyes and went to the fridge, grabbing water and an apple. "Well, I'm off to my fight so I'll talk to you later."
"Bye BP!"
I waved and hopped into my car and sped out towards the arena.

okay wrong sport, but the main point was my opponent was on the ground out cold. so in either sport, I'd have done well. Minus the out cold part if this was basketball.
....well and the punching part.. and kicking... and you know what? Bad analogy, forget it.
"Nice job BP!" Grant yelled over the noise as he handed me my money. I grinned and headed out the back entrance towards my car. My opponent tonight was kind of hard and managed to get a few hits in my ribs, cheek, and stomach, but I got through. There were definitely going to leave bruises though.
Once I got home I took a shower and changed into a sports bra and pajama shorts, putting a shirt on would hurt my stomach too much and it already hurt. No use in hurting it even more. I went downstairs to get the first aid kit and some food.
Getting there I walked just in time to be slammed into the wall with a hand to my throat, with both my hands over my head held together. "Hey! What is this? Get off!"
"Belle?" The lights were turned on and Will's face was inches away from me "Sorry," he let me go, "I thought it was an intruder."
I laughed, "An intruder would have a want for suicide to break into this house." I joked. He chuckled and agreed.
He sat down at the counter to eat his tacos. I started towards the first aid kit again in the cabinet. Once William realized what I was getting he jumped up and came towards me, grabbing my chin and turned it towards him. Ignoring the tingles from his touch I got out of his hold and moved towards the counter, putting the kit down and opening it. When I was reaching for the bandages William slapped my hand away, "let me do it."
I agreed and he told me to sit on the counter next to the kit. "What happened tonight?"
I explain what happened while he cleaned the bruise on my cheek stinging a couple of times but he would grab my chin lightly and hold me in place so he could bandage the bruise. I hadn't even realized that it was bleeding until I saw the red on the rag used to wipe up the blood.
"At least you won." He said light-heartedly and smirked. I laughed and nodded my head. Once he had finished he put the kit away while I made more tacos for myself and him.
We had been eating for a while when I asked, "Do you think it will work?"
He looked over and studied my face. "Yeah. I think it will. Depends on how her parents will react having their 18-year-old daughter show up 7 months pregnant to their house, but I think we can handle it, princess." He smirked at me.
I blushed and looked down at the endearment. Once we had finished up we left to go upstairs. I got to my door and turned around to look at Will. "Thanks for your help," I whispered making sure not to wake others.
He smiled and leaned down to kiss me on the forehead, "Goodnight princess." Then walked to his door at the end of the hallway, winked at me then closed his bedroom door. I blushed again and entered my room. Laying down that night I couldn't sleep. My forehead burned and I was irritated at myself for these stupid feelings. He's my boss. Nothing is going to happen. It can't. Slowly I fell asleep with these thoughts in my head.
