Chapter Three

                                    

                                          
"I cannot deal with your attitude, Riaahlynn!" Chase yells at me.
"We ain't doing this, Chase. Not right here" I yell back at him. 
I do have an attitude. A very bad one, but I'll never be the one to admit that. I hate admitting that I'm wrong. Chase has been so distant lately and it's really getting on my nerves. 
"Riaah, just hear me out for a second" Chase yells as I'm walking away. 
I'm not very good a hearing people out. Usually that ends in somebody getting punched in the mouth. I'll spare Chase this time, but next time I'm hitting him.
"You have a terrible attitude" Yep. Sure do. 
"You never listen to a damn thing you're told" Also true. 
"You hit people like a man" I'm about to hit him like a man if he doesn't watch where he's going with this bull shit.
"And just where exactly are you going with all this you're saying?" I look him straight in the eye.
He stares intently back at me.    
"I don't know, Riaahlynn" he laughs and shakes his head.
I think about hauling off and punching him in the neck, but I don't think I could handle having to watch him suffer for air like that. He would probably neverspeak to me again if I punched him. Chase Elliott is too cute to ruin. Instead I just holler.
"Why the hell have you been acting like this, Elliott?" I cross my arms.
"Acting like what?" he stares just like he did a few seconds ago.
He's honestly going to play this game with me?
"Are you serious, Chase? You know, Katie and I are kind of like best friends. We tell each other every god damn thing. So, I know all about your little attitude with her the other day" I look him dead in the eyes again.
"Riaahlynn, you have a serious problem. You're so damn rude. I'm over it" he rolls his eyes at me.
"You know what, fuck you Elliott" I say before walking away from him. All the way away. No stopping or turning around no matter how many times he begs me to stop walking and come back.
Makenzie's POV
My phone vibrates for probably the 20th time since class started this afternoon. I'm nervous as hell for this call to come through from the hospital. All the girls have been on stand by as well ready to jump when I need them. I'm supposed to be paying attention to the lesson my professor is giving about phylum classifications, but how can a girl pay attention with so many thoughts rolling through her mind? Like, what am I supposed to name my child? Darrell Wallace the third? I've got a real in learning anything today, except for the results of my pregnancy test. I decide on laying my head down on the table to take a nap.
"Darrell!" I yell from in the living room of his house.
"Yes, love?" he answers back from the top of the stairs.
"Come down here please. I need to tell you something" I smile at the pregnant girls sitting on the couch across the living room.
"You'll be okay. He's going to be excited" Maddie says as her and Riaahlynn move their hands to where their baby bumps are going to be showing in just a few months.
Bubba comes flying down the stair case followed by Chase Elliott and Joey Logano.
"Hey babies" Joey leans down and kisses Maddie on the cheek.
Bubba makes a face at him. He has no idea all three of us are pregnant.
"There's my two loves" Chase smiles brightly at Riaahlynn.
Bubba is totally confused at this point.
"What the hell is going on? Why is Joey calling Maddie his "babies"? Chase has two love? Makenzie?" he looks at me with those soft beautiful brown eyes.
I have to break the news to Bubba, I just don't know how. Chase and Joey tried to make things quite obvious to him but really all they did was confuse him. He's demanding answers from all of us. He deserves to know.
Maddie and Riaah smile and nod at me as silent gestures of encouragement.
I take a huge breath.
"Bubba, Maddie, Riaahlynn, and I are pregnant" I look him straight in the eye.
I close my eyes ready for his reaction. 
"Makenzie, are you fucking serious? Maddie and Riaah can keep their babies or whatever they're going to do, but you? There's no way in hell we are having a baby. You have to get rid of it. Either you get rid of the fucking thing or I'm leaving!" he yells at me.
"Makenzie it's going to be okay. He'll get over it. Joey and Chase reacted the same way but they got over it and are ready to take on the responsibility. He'll come around" Riaahlynn rushes to comfort me.
Bubba rolls his eyes at her.
"Guys, where's Ryan?" Bubba asks Joey and Chase.
The two of them look at each other.
"where's Katie at? Is she pregnant too?" Bubba slams a glass bowl from the shelf next to him on the floor.
Bubba does not have a temper like this. And who the hell are Ryan and Katie?
"Bowen!" a whisper and sharp poke to the ribs brings me back to reality.
When I open my eyes my phone is ringing like crazy. It's the hospital. I rush outside the classroom to answer it.
"Hi Miss Bowen, I'm calling with the results of your pregnancy test from the other day. I'm sorry, but you are not pregnant" the voice on the other end of the phone bares good news.
"Oh, okay. Thank you" I say before hanging up.
I'm a little disappointed, but relieved more than anything.
I send the girls a quick text before grabbing my books and rushing over to the Harvick motorhome.
Hey Y'all!! Thanks so much for reading. Please excuse the long wait. Also, sorry this is so short. I just didn't know how to build up to what I have coming up next. I hope Y'all like it.
