Seeing What's Wrong

man the fuck you want making me get out of bed in the middle of the night to calm your irrational ass down shit

Lacy had saw that Ellie was a little more than upset and she asked her to come over she she drove over her house so they could talk some. She used the key that she had and made her way inside (because doorbells are for losers). "Ellie?"

Ellie was laying on the couch watching tv when she heard Lacy walk in. "Living room." she called out, making sure not to wake Maddie and Ajay up even though they were in their room.

Lacy made her way in. "What's up, angry Internet lady?" she asked.

She chuckled a little. "It's just...been a rough and annoying day. I went to meet up with AJ earlier."

"Yeah?" She said. "What happened?"

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about what happened at the hospital last month and so on. Being the super nice person that I am, I agreed to hear him out and see what he had to say. He apologized and all that, but I couldn't except it. What he did was way out of line and I told him that. Fine, whatever...he understood. Anyway, then he went on about how he wants more days with the kids and I told him no. He hardly sees them now, so more days wouldn't make sense. We ended up arguing over it and he told me that he wants to take me to court and get full custody of the kids, or a written up document with more days and so on." she said. "He just gets me really worked up and I can't...like, I don't know what to do about him anymore. He's a nice guy and all that, I hate being mean to him Lacy...you know I'm not like that, but...I just get so angry."

"Are you kidding me? No." She shook her head. "Like you said, he's never even around, there's no way anyone would even consider that. He just needs to realize the fact that he messed up, and making you miserable isn't the way to right his wrongs. Scott's more of a dad to them than he ever was."

"He is." she nodded. "I think AJ is just upset because he's...been replaced by Maddie and Ajay with Scott. It's not my fault though and honestly, I don't care. They're like that because they know he isn't around and hardly spends time with them. Obviously they know AJ is their father...but when it comes to being around more and spending time with them, they think the world of Scott and love him ten times more. He's lucky I even let him see the kids sometimes when he's in town. If I wanted to be a bitch, I wouldn't let him see them at all."

"That's when he could take you to court." she said. "I wouldn't worry about it, El. He's just mad that he lost you and the kids and he's just trying to scare you."

"It's just really frustrating." she sighed. "On top of that, I've been sick so I'm like grrrrr." she chuckled a bit. "I hate everything."

"Maybe you need to get away for a few days." Lacy said. "So you don't like... bug out." she chuckled a little. "It could help."

"I'm already bugging out." she chuckled. "Blah, I don't know...maybe I'll think of something...or maybe I'm just overreacting."

"You have every right to react the way that you did." she said. "I'd be concerned if you didn't react at all.. you should talk to Scott or something, see if you can get away for a few days. Or if you just want to go by yourself, that could help, too."

"Hm, maybe. I'll think about it." she nodded. "....can I tell you something without you freaking out." she chuckled a little. "I've been freaking out a lot over it."

"no promises." she snorted. "What is it?"

"..I'm late." she told her. "But, it's only been a week and I'm waiting to check it out, but...I am freaking out."

"...are you ready if anything happens?"

"I mean...I really didn't want it to happen so soon, but if I am pregnant, then obviously I'll be ready and okay with it. I'm just worried about how Scott will react. He said before he wouldn't mind it if I were pregnant, but I don't know...he's already dealt a lot with me over the past couple of months."

"You think he's sick of you or something?" she asked.

"I think so...but as always, that's me over thinking things. I've asked him before and he told me he's not."

"I don't talk to him very much, but when I hear him talk to Punk about you..." she shook her head. "Trust me, he's nowhere near sick of you. Before the whole falling out happened with us, I helped him pick out your ring, but told him to wait on proposing because it was too soon. He loves you, Ellie."

She nodded. "I just worry." she said. "But I know he does. Thank you for telling me though."

"No problem." She shook her head. "Are you gonna tell him?"

"Well I was going to wait another week to see if anything happens. If not, then I wasn't sure if I should tell him first or tell him after I take a test."

"I think he should be in the know." she said. "But it's up to you."
