Chapter 6: You Can Take Your Time, Take My Time.

The next few days seemed to drag on but when Saturday was finally there it went by too fast. I was pacing back and forth in the kitchen waiting. Spencer wasn't back from the studio yet. On top of the normal being pregnant sickness, I hadn't been able to keep anything down all day from nervousness. The small apartment smelled strongly of Febreze. Or maybe it was just my highly inclined senses. I rested my hands on the bump protruding from my hoodie. No one knew. No one but me, Spencer, and a few of our friends. I was about to walk a hole through the floor when the door bell rang. I stopped in my tracks and stared at the door. It rang again. I pulled my hoodie around me and walked shakily towards the door. The boy who stood on the other side was a slightly bigger version of the one that left 4 years ago. His hair was styled in relatively the same manor and he was still tall and skinny. He still wore the dark wash skinny jeans and ridiculous t-shirts. And he still had that same pitiful, crooked smile.


"Hi." I murmered, my eyes welling with tears. A smile spread across my face and he leaned in to hug me. I felt at home. It was a familiar embrace that I had desperately needed for 4 years.
"Wow." He said, pushing me back at arms length and looking me up and down. "God, Jasey. I've missed you so fucking much." He pulled me back into a hug. I was crying. We were still standing in the doorway.
"I've missed you too, Aleks." I took his hand and lead him inside.
"Well...what's going on with you?" He asked as we sat down on the couch, highschool style.
"Uh...a lot, actually. I've got a boyfriend, you talked to him on the phone the other day, his name's Spencer. I'm pregnant." I patted my stomach and a look of shock washed over his face. "Haha. Yeah. We've got a bun in the oven."
"For real? That's uh...not what I expected."
"Yeah me neither." I laughed. "So...what's up with you?"
"Not too much. I've got a place upstate and I'm going to school to be a writer. Nothing major." Just then Spencer came through the door.
"Oh! Spence's home." I got up to go meet him at the door. "Hey baby."
"Hi." He smiled.
"This is Aleks. Aleks, this is Spencer."

"Oh my god. It's so nice to meet you." Aleks squeeked. He was apparently familiar with Panic! At The Disco.
"It's nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you in the past few days." Spencer laughed in response to Aleks' reaction.
"You never mentioned you were dating Spencer SMITH." He whispered as he turned around. I just laughed.
"Anyway. Uh. Are Ryan and Brendon coming over tonight?" I asked. A huge smile spread over Aleks' face. Spencer nodded and tossed his jacket over the back of the recliner. I grabbed it and scowled at him, taking it to the bedroom. I heard him chuckle as I walked off. Right then. That's when everything was perfect.
