Chapter 8: Driver Picks The Music

Destiny’s Point Of View

It has been couple of days since we told everyone that I am expecting and Kyle being Kyle is trying to insert his nose where it don’t belong to say the least and I am getting over it. I mean he ain’t the one carrying or raising this child that is me who is doing all the hard work. And don’t get me wrong I know that Kyle means well and all that but this my territory and should be my choice.

Jake sighs as Kyle sends him yet another message about how he should raise the baby when it arrives. Jake turns to me looking annoyed and irritated.

“He’s coming over ain’t he,” I say.

“Yep he says he has ideas on how we should raise the kid,” Jake says.

“He really needs to back off this ain’t his kid its ours and we are the ones raising it and I have far more say then he does seeing as I am the one carrying the baby,” I say.

“I know and that is why I think you should put him in his place,” Jake says.

“Ohh believe me I will this is gonna be fun,” I say with a smirk.

We wait for Kyle to arrive. My face is dead serious and it is clear that I ain’t happy with the way Kyle has been acting. Jake is smirking at the look on my face. The front door opens and in walks Kyle with an overly excited look on his face.

“Hey guys I was think you both should make it a point to never let the baby have their own room before the age of five they should sleep in your guys room to help with keeping an eye on them,” Kyle says.

“Okay back off dude I get that you are trying to help but this ain’t your child it is Jake and I’s. We are the ones raising the kid not you. And before you try to say that you should have some say since you are Jake’s bandmate. You need to remember who is carrying the child into this world not you,” I say sternly.

“Whoa whoa fine I will back off and let you two raise the baby then. I was just trying to help,” Kyle says.

“Good choice,” I say curtly as Jake is trying not to laugh.

I smirk as Jake is trying not to laugh knowing he finds his bandmate getting put in his place by the soon to be mother of his baby hilarious.

As the day goes by Jake and I start talking names for the baby. One for if it is a girl and one for if it was a boy.

“If it is a girl I want to name her Guinevere Segura cause I want her to take your last name like I hope to one of these days if everything works out,” I say.

“I like that name now for the boy I was thinking Max Segura cause that just sounds good,” Jake says.

“That would be amazing cause Max was my dad’s name and I would love to name a baby boy after him,” I say.

“So it is settled if it is a girl we will name her Guinevere Segura and if it is a boy we will name him Max Segura,” Jake says with a warm smile.

I smile back and lean into him happily. We sit there on the couch for hours just talking about the baby and it starts to not only feel real but it also starts to feel perfect. The only thing that is missing is a engagement ring but Jake and I both know that we aren’t ready for that.

Jake is humming lullabies while I am planning out the nursery that will be right next to Jake and I’s room. Meanwhile with my mom and my best friend.

Elianna’s Point Of View

I am sitting with Destiny’s mom Mrs. Bellamy. We both are still trying to process that Destiny is carrying Jake’s child.

“I still can’t believe that she is carrying Jake’s child,” I say to her mom.

“I know right this is unreal. She is my baby girl and she is now having a baby of her own with my old high school best friend,” Mrs. Bellamy says.

“This is insane but I am happy for her none the less I mean she seems to truly like him and he seems to truly care for her,” I say.

“You got that right he does and so does she they will be amazing parents and maybe more,” she says.

“Yeah they will I have a feeling that they will be married by the kid is one year old,” I say.

“I think you might be right about that one,” she says.

Destiny’s Point Of View

Jake and I are eating dinner which is burgers cause I was craving them for no reason other than they smelled good. We are watching Supernatural on the tv and it is the part where Dean tells Sam that driver picks the music.

“You know that reminds me of earlier when you layed into Kyle cause you were basically saying that your the driver and you pick the music with out saying it,” Jake says.

I laugh and nod finding it funny that he made that connection. We finish eating and head to our shared room to get ready for bed when the bay kicks for the first time. I place Jake’s hand on my stomach to let him feel the baby kick.

He smiles so big at the feeling. We stand there for a few minutes before getting dressed and heading to bed. We are both tired and ready for bed after the long day. And we have to get the nursery set up tomorrow. I just know that I am gonna start nesting tomorrow. Jake is gonna love seeing me nesting with our child inside.
