heather.
"hi, you must be heather wang?" the kind service lady asked. "uh yes" i smiled. "just take a seat over there" she said nodding to the row of chairs. i nodded back to her and sat there. ding. the door flew open as bridgette rushed into the room with unfinished papers in her hands. "sorry i was late" she gushed as i assisted her with grabbing her things. "it's totally fine, just as long as alejandro isn't behind time" i smiled. she laughed to herself and we walked to our seats. i checked the time obsessively, waiting for alejandro to show up. on that note.... "hey" he said as the door swayed into a stranger's purse. he put his hands up into a defence, as if the police was onto him and apologised to the sweet lady. "my apologies ma'am, that is not how a lady should be treat- heather!" he put out a hand to hug me and i hugged him back. he noticed bridgette standing there awkwardly and pulled out of the hug. he placed his hands where my stomach was and his eyes grew as big as golf balls. "is the baby okay?" he said with concern. "yes it's fine. relax" i rolled my eyes. "phew" he slumped into the chair.

it was kind of weird for me to be so.. nice? all of a sudden. although i am the person everyone should look up to and a fucking icon, however, i cant resort to natural impulses because whoever i give this baby away to i promise to give them a healthy child. ugh.

"where is courtney? she said she'd be here" i grumped. "i'm sure she's coming" bridge reassured me. suddenly the door swished open. "i'm here!" courtney sang. "ugh finally! where were you?" i said.
"sorry i kind of had a fight with duncan" she responded.
"did you not just get back together five minutes ago?" said bridgette overhearing.
"yeah but it will pass" courtney nodded.
"wait about what?" asked alejandro, also peering in.
"the justin thing" she mumbled.
i got the point and left it there. all three of us acknowledged together  she would talk to us about it when she's ready and she can do what she wants.

"heather, dr. chiro is ready for you" said the receptionist. i glanced at the ticking clock. right on time actually. the nice lady walked alejandro, bridgette, courtney and i to the room. it was modern and up to date. dr. chiro was a tan woman who seemed early thirties. she reminded me of a mature version of court to be honest. there was a pale bench and endless stacks of draws in the room.
the biggest thing occupying the limited space was the giant bed. it was huge and had paper towels as decoration. there was also a big screen. it was attached at the hip to some device i assumed the doctor would use to observe the baby. i had been to this office before, but not this room. the usual room i would go to had a chart of a human body and a desk where the doctor would give me a list of what i can't eat and the changes in my body yadayadyada.

"just lay down here sweetie" dr. chiro said as she mentioned to the bed. courtney and bridge took a seat while alejandro stood by my shoulder. "is- is a guardian present?" the doctor asked. i shook my head. "i'm eighteen" i said while nodding. "mhm" she muffled while preparing my stomach. my stomach wasn't huge yet. i had always been quite thin so i wasn't expecting to go giant. Bridgette's eyes became wide as doc rubbed a substance on my belly. it was supposed to help with the scanning or something. "so uhm, where is it?" alejandro asked as the screen finally showcased my stomach.
"right here" she pointed to this thing that looked like a jelly bean with a giant head. "would you two want to know the gender?" she questioned. al and i glanced at each other than at her. "yeah sure" i beamed. "it's a boy!" she said. i saw court hand bridgette ten dollars from the side of my eye.
those two, sometimes you have to dig deep to love them. alejandro squeezed my hand, and it made me smile. i was aware we were friends, but there would always be a connection.

"you two are gonna love this baby so much" said dr. chiro. "it won't even feel like real life" she said again.
"thanks, but we're not keeping it" i answered. "we're only eighteen after all" i said. dr. chiro put a hand on her hip. "i know this is completely inappropriate, but do you guys know who you're giving him up to?" al and i shook our heads. "no but we're still thinking about it" my former prince said. "well, i know a couple, they've been thinking of adopting for a while and may be interested. lovely people. college friends" she smiled.
"yeah, sure! we will give them a call." i answered sincerely.
"i mean, it will make the process easier" alejandro agreed.
"good" she said back. "oh, and the baby is completely healthy. he is doing wonderful down there" said dr. chiro with a spark in her eye.

we walked out of the room happy. we were doing a good thing. dr. chiro had handed us one half of the couple's business card so we could contact them. once i got into the car with al, i checked my phone.

a text from mum. oh god.

a/n its literally 12 am-
