1.24 - Even the Horse Can Tell

 It had been a few weeks since they started their 'relationship'. Everyday after school Cami would ride the bus to Daniel's house and they would just sit and talk.

Okay so it was more grunting than talking but Cami was not complaining.

"It's my birthday soon." she mumbled between kisses. "I want you to meet my mom. I want to make sure she likes you before we get too serious."

Daniel pushed her off. "Serious? Cami we never said we were serious. I like the way things are right now." 

"Daniel? I'm sorry. I don't want to pressure you but I really do like you. I can see myself with you for the rest of my life."

"Were just teens." Daniel said firmly. "We don't need to think about marriage. We should just have fun. How about we think about that stuff later?"

He leaned in to kiss her and she kissed him back. 

"Okay," she said "but we will talk about it soon ok?"

"Sure. Now let's have some fun."

After the tussle, Cami fell asleep and Daniel lay beside her. Once she was unconscious Daniel slid out of the bed without a word.

Cami stood in the barn. She had been throwing up the past few mornings and lately her tummy seemed to be sticking out more than usual. Her feet hurt if she walked for too long and she felt slower. It seemed pretty obvious what was wrong to her. Even the horse could tell.

It was early in the morning when she got confirmation. 

She knocked on Zebrina's door. "Can I talk to you in the kitchen?"

Zebrina looked at her sister. Cami seemed scared. Her head was down and her lip was quivering. "Uh, sure."

Rina sat down but Cami made snacks before joining her at the table.

"Cami? What's wrong?"

Cami stuttered a bit but then took a mouthful of sandwich.

"I'm pregnant." Cami stated.

Zebrina chocked on her food. 

"It's Daniel's baby." Cami whispered over Rina's gagging.

"Wait? You're pregnant? Like there is a baby inside of you?"

 "Uh. Yep."

Zebrina stared at the wall in shock.

"How could you get pregnant? Where do you find the time to get pregnant? If you aren't home you're at Drama club. When did you get pregnant?"

"I'm not in Drama club." 

 "So you lied and were screwing Daniel this whole time? Why would you do that! You know where babies come from! How can you be that stupid?"

Cami stared off and felt her lip quiver again. She stood up and tried to walk away but Zebrina caught her arm and made her turn around.

"I'm sorry." Cami cried. "Daniel is the only person who really pays me attention. He's nice to me."

"He's using you! All he wanted was to get into your pants. He did the same thing with all his other little girlfriends. You know that!"

"But he treated me different. He doesn't show me off like his latest lay. He respects me so that's why he stays away from me at school. He said he doesn't want people to look at me bad because I'm with him. He wanted to be with me and I wanted to be with him!"

"He cares about me! He really does." She tried to defend herself.

"He's just scared about being committed. He will help me raise the baby. He has to!" She felt her voice shaking.

"I just need help!" she cried. "I'm so sorry! Please don't tell mom. I'll do it I promise but please help me! I need a friend. Rina..."

"Of course I'll help Cami. You did something stupid but I don't want to see you miserable. You're my sister so I'm forced to love you."

They embraced in a big hug and Cami smiled between tears.

"Hi baby. I'm Auntie Rina. Hi!" she cooed to the tiny child.

"It'll be okay Cami. It's not the end of the world. Plus you get to have this cute little baby as a prize."

************************************

Okay, ya I know that was fast. But really I had nothing planned for their teens and then Cami goes and gets herself knocked up. I mean she visited Daniel three times and they would do nothing but make-out and woohoo the whole visit. I have teen risky at 5% but still....I should have watched her closer. 

I loved all the faces Rina made. The speech bubbles fit perfectly too!
