Not Another Avril's Pregnant Story

[Avril 41]

please update

“I wish I could stay,” Deryck whispered.

“I know. Me too. You shouldn’t be going out in that weather.” As much as I hated to admit it, I was acting like Deryck’s mother. I can’t help that I care about him.

I looked out the window at the horrendous rainstorm. The weather here seriously sucks. “You sure you’re going to be okay?” I asked skeptically. Deryck was standing in front of me without a jacket, looking a little pathetic.

“Don’t worry. It’s just rain,” he replied, putting on the macho guy act. “And it’s only a few blocks away. See ya later, honey.” After a quick kiss on the cheek, he was gone. I stared at the window for a few moments, but not really out it. I could sort of see the buckets of water falling and the lightning flashes far away, but I wasn’t focusing on anything in particular.

So I was unprepared when Deryck came back in the front door. He was dripping with rainwater and shivering.

“That rain is worse than it looks,” muttered Deryck, his teeth chattering. “And, uhm, I just realized...I don’t have my keys with me. I can’t get into my apartment anyway.” I could sense some humiliation.

“Good going, tough guy. I’d give you a hug and warm you up, but you are sopping wet.” I was smirking. It was nice to see a male’s stubbornness get him into trouble. Deryck looked at me, and I realized his lips were tinged blue.

“Come on,” I sighed. I led Deryck to the main floor bathroom, warning him not to drip on the carpet the whole way.

Twenty minutes later, Deryck was wearing some of Matt’s clothes and on our couch, watching me argue with my parents.

“He can’t walk home in a rainstorm without a freaking jacket!” I was exclaiming. To help my argument, the windows flashed with lightning to punctuate my sentences. Thunder was no doubt on the way.

My parents were dodging saying that Deryck couldn’t spend the night, just like I was dodging asking.

“Can you call your mom to pick you up?” Dad asked rather rigidly.

“It’s a Friday night. She’s at work.” Normally, Deryck’s mom being constantly at work doesn’t bother him, but I was starting to see what a pain it could get to be. I silently thanked God for my mom always being there for me.

There was silence in the living room. Everyone was afraid to say anything. I knew the only choice was for Deryck to spend the night at our house. But my parents probably wouldn’t agree to that even after pigs flew and Hell froze over.

So I was afraid to ask. And Deryck is too nice to ask to camp on somebody’s couch without an invitation.

“Mom, Dad, just let him stay over. It’s not like he and Avril are going to do the McNasty without us noticing.” My sister, who had apparently been eavesdropping, appeared in the room.

“Michelle to the rescue,” I muttered sarcastically. The look on my parents’ faces clearly read, how did we raise such demented daughters?

I got the courage to speak up. “You’re not seriously going to let Deryck spend the night on the front porch, are you?”

“Okay, okay,” groaned my mom. I had known that she would crack before my dad. “Deryck can spend the night in your room - if you two keep the door open.”

“That’s okay. I always keep the door open anyway, in case the boogie man shows up,” Deryck said very seriously. Michelle and I started laughing while our parents rolled their eyes. Then Deryck thanked my parents properly. I have such a weird boyfriend...I really hope our baby doesn’t inherit Deryck’s sense of humor.

Later that night, I was snuggled in my bed in Deryck’s arms. There was lots of noise coming from the rain coming down in sheets and splattering against my bedroom windows, and it was pretty cold in the room. I didn’t feel any of that, though. I felt nothing but me, Deryck...and our baby. Lying together in bed. I felt Deryck’s hand around my waist, rested on my lower abdomen. Suddenly, his fingers moved, tickling my stomach and forcing me to let out some short gasps that resembled giggling.

I startled a little because I hadn’t thought Deryck was awake.

“Hey, baby,” he greeted me.

“Mm, hey.” Not the most enthusiastic reply I could have given, but I wasn’t really in the mood to talk. I was just too tired.

“...Do you think I made a bad impression on your parents? Did I screw up by mentioning...the McNasty?” I giggled just a little bit involuntarily. God only knows where Michelle got that from, but I’m going to have to start saying it now.

“Don’t worry about it. They were bound to hate you anyway,” I mumbled, adjusting body in bed.

“What...why? What’s so bad about me?” Oh, crap, I hurt his feelings. I love having a sensitive boyfriend, but sometimes it’s a bit much.

“You got their innocent little daughter pregnant. Of course they’re not going to like you. It’s nothing personal.”

“...Well, I take it personally.” Uh oh. I started to apologize to Deryck, but then realized that we were both too worn-out at the moment. I decided to go to sleep and smooth things over in the morning.

[Who Cares?]
