My World

Chapter 3: Joy

Today is the day we are going to go to the doctors to make sure I really am pregnant, just to make sure this really isn't everyone getting our hopes up. I don't know if I would be happy or sad if I'm not really pregnant. My heart was racing as we got closer to the doctors office we were going to. This place was confidential and wouldn't tell my parents, or at least I hope not. Jayden parked the car and grabbed my hand. "Everything is going to be okay. Whatever happens today we're just going to have to take it day by day, and not worry about what could happen." Jayden kissed my hand as we got out and walked in. His words calmed me down a little bit but I was still a little nervous.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The lady at the front desk asked.

"I have an appointment with Dr. Adkins." I said, you could hear the worry in my voice. 

"Name?" She asked kind of annoyed. 

"Scarlett Taylor." I said. If she doesn't like her job, why is she here? Unless she's annoyed at all the young teenagers that come in here. 

"Okay, take a seat in the waiting room, he should be right out for you." She said. I grabbed Jayden's hand to walk with me.

It didn't take long for the doctor to call us in. My hands were shaking as we walked into his room. Jayden gave me a reassuring hand squeeze. I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "So what did you come here for?" He asked. 

I gulped, I know he was probably the best person I should tell but I was scared. "I think I'm... pregnant." Tears welled up in my eyes but I fought them away. 

"Did you take a pregnancy test?" He asked. I nodded my head yes. "What did it show up as?" He  asked.

"Both came up positive." I sighed.

"Okay, please take a seat up here and lay down." I did what he told me to do and laid down. He started off my feeling all around my stomach. "Pull up your shirt for me." He said and turned around. I once again did what he asked and pulled my shirt away from my stomach. "This might be cold." The doctor laughed squirting a gel on my stomach. He was right, it was cold! He moved around the scope for a little until he let out a popping noise with his mouth. "You are pregnant all right, around 3 months. This shaded spot right here is your baby." The doctor smiled. I didn't know how to feel, I was happy because I knew we would be the perfect parents, but I couldn't help but think I ruined Jayden's life. "I'm not going to tell you how to run your life when your expecting, but some tips stay away from cigarettes and alcohol, if you want the baby to be healthy when it's born. I'm sure you'll be starting school in a few weeks so you can be excused from gym so you don't get hurt and endanger the baby."

I faked a smile, "Thanks, I would like an excuse from gym, I can get pretty clumsy." I let out a little laugh. I wouldn't want to hurt the baby in any way. At least I don't have to worry about smoking or drinking. 

"Okay just ask the front desk and they will get you one. Also remember this is a 100% confidential clinic so we will not tell your parents at all that you were here." He smiled at me. I smiled back at him and we left. I got the excuse from the lady at the front desk and we were off.

While we were outside I took in a deep breath and tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to escape from my eyes but I couldn't hold them back. Jayden pulled me into a hug; I buried my head in his chest and let it all out. "Scarlett everything is going to be okay. I promise." He rubbed my back.

"I'm so sorry." I cried my breath was shallow. I swear I was having a panic attack and I'm sure I was, I can't believe this. I'm pregnant; my moms worse nightmare is coming true.

Jayden put his hands on my face and made me look up at him, "Scarlett calm down, just breathe everything will be okay. I promise." More tears fell from my eyes, I couldn't calm down. "Scarlett," Jayden said. I searched his eyes, they had truth in them. "Please calm down." I nodded my head and took in deep breaths. "Thank you." He smiled pulling me into a hug.  

I was so shocked Jayden was actually happy we were going to have a baby, most guys aren't that happy about it but Jayden isn't a normal guy, he's more sensitive and caring. I know he's going to be a great dad. I just wish we weren't doing this so young, but I guess there was no way we could have avoided this. We were responsibility but we're guessing it broke. I hate the thought that some day this baby will ask if it was planned. I sighed. I will know it is a much loved child, I can see it right now. 

When Jayden and I got home we went up to my room to lie down, no one was home they were probably at the beach. Jayden laid down on my bed while I went over to the mirror. I lifted up my tang top, three months pregnant and I was already showing. How big am I going to get in the next six months? I heard Jayden got off my bed and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around me and placed his hands on the small bump. He spun me around and kneeled on one leg. "I know you're probably too small to understand me and you probably look like a tadpole," Jayden chuckled. "But I just want you to know we love you so much already and I can't wait until I get to see you and hold you." Jayden's words made me realize he really is glad this is happening, and as long as he's happy, I'm happy. This is going to be a long six months. 

Jayden kissed the bump and stood up kissing me. "I love you so much." He smiled.

"I love you too." I kissed him back. The rest of the day went on and so did the rest of the week, school starts in two days and I' really not ready.
