Don't tell my mother

56

"What's going on?" Jessy asks nervously sitting on the bed opposite with Devon.
"Myles," I say, wanting him to do the talking.
"We're leaving competitive dance," Myles says. I mean it doesn't seem like a huge deal but it really is. We evolve our whole lives around it.
"It was a hard decision but it's time," I say
"No," Jessy says tearing up. "You're lying."
I shake my head and give her a weak smile.
"I won't ever see you," Jessy says staring at both Myles and eyes before tears begin streaming down her face, making me tear up.
"We'll meet up with you all the time," I say with a smile, that's a lie.
"I'll be at dance all the time and you'll be busy doing whatever you're doing," Jessy says sadly.
"Why?" Devon asks, a bit speechless.
"It's time," I say
"You can't," Jessy says.
"We have too," Myles says before placing his hand on my knee
"You can't do this, you're already letting your relationship take over your life," Jessy then shouts, crying vigorously.
"We're not," I say calmly
"Yes you are, you've been awkward around us since we got here, and since we found out about you two," Jessy then shouts again.
"No we aren't, I promise," Myles says calmly but I can clearly tell it's getting to him.
"Yes you fucking are, you can't even deny it," Jessy now screams. "And if you aren't why are you leaving then."
"Briars pregnant," Myles says not thinking. "Shit."
"What," Both Jessy and Devon say in shock.
I glare at Myles. Well isn't this great.
"Great cover there Myles," I groan.
"Wait so you two have had sex?" Jessy asks in shock
"Well I guess that's how it works," Myles laughs nervously.
"Um congratulations," Devon responds awkwardly.
"How didn't I notice?" Jessy says to herself in shock. "So I'm guessing you've been having morning sickness, not just food poisoning."
I nod my head. I wish they didn't have to find out this way.
"So um, When are you due?" Devon asks.
"I only found out when we were at the airport but in around 8 months time," I say looking up to Myles.
"Please don't tell anyone, not until we announce it," Myles says to which they both nod.
