Betrayed by Husband Divorced when Pregnant (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Doing It Again

Kelly’s POV

I saw Phoebe sitting on the couch while staring at the opened television. She looked bothered and I felt the burden she’s carrying. If Emily’s hunch was right. That she’s actually in love with Caleb, I don’t know how to make her feel better. All I could say to her was forget about her feelings but who am I to say that when I can’t even forget about my feelings for Pierce. When after all these years...it’s still him.

I sat beside Phoebe, earning her attention. She looked at me and turned the television off.

“Did you call your parents?”

She shook her head. “I don’t want them to feel that I have a problem.”

I sighed. “Phoebe, they are your family. You can talk to them.”

“They won’t understand.”

“Pierce will,” I said without even thinking. I guess my instinct was to always trust him and it grew in me.

She looked at me and smiled sadly. “He understood, but I can’t tell him everything. I’m...afraid of what will happen.”

Fear. It’s always what’s stopping us from doing things we want to do. I can’t blame her. Fear is a strong enemy. It’s unbeatable if we’re not brave enough to fear the consequences.

“What will you do?”

She looked down, played with her fingers and bit her bottom lip. I can see her frustration. Her eyes are mirroring her pain.

“I...” She paused and sucked her breath. “I’m thinking about moving abroad. A-After this school year...I want to transfer school.”

I nodded and held her hand. Somehow, I felt her calming down. “What’s important is you know what to prioritize.”

She looked at me. There’s still fear in her eyes. “K-Kelly, I...I gave m-myself to him.”

My heart raced. What? I was taken aback by what she said. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I don’t know what to say. I got pregnant with Snow and it’s not part of my plans. Snow makes me happy even when she’s unplanned but Phoebe’s a different case. She’s still so young.

I swallowed hard. “Tell me he used protection and you visited a doctor for a contraceptive injection.”

She looked down and sobbed. My eyes widened and I felt suffocated.

“I-I was so impulsive. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I just...I just woke up next to him and...oh my God!” She faced me and cried harder. “W-What if I get pregnant?”

I pressed my lips together and pulled her closer to me. I sucked my breath and caressed her hair. She cried in my chest.

“I d-don’t know what t-to do, Kelly. Dad and mom will get hurt. Pierce will be disappointed. I don’t...I don’t wanna hurt them...”

I hugged her tighter. “Shh! Did you use a pregnancy test already?”

She shook her head. “I-It hasn’t been two weeks s-since it happened. I’m...scared.”

I cupped her cheeks and made her look at me. I wiped her tears. “Let’s wait for another week before we get a test, okay? Also observe your menstrual period. Update me if you’re late or what, okay?”

She sniffed and nodded. After swallowing hard, she wiped her tears and fixed her hair. I went to the counter and got her a glass of water. She drank it all and put the empty glass on the coffee table before she buried her face in my neck again.

I caressed her hair. “Go and sleep beside Snow. I’ll call your brother to tell him that you’re staying here for tonight.”

“What about you? Where will you sleep?”
