Where We Left Off |Chris Evans Fanfic| DISCONTINUED

18. One Very Bold Line

WARNINGS: Mentions of pregnancy, and abduction 

This chapter is like 15 but from a different with more of Chris’ and Sofia’s family’s experience. It also brings in something important to the story line. 

June 25, 2002...

"You think that you're what!?" Chris yelled,

"Shhhh!" Sofia shushed, "keep it down I don't want to cause an alarm if it's nothing." Sofia whispered, her Hispanic accent coming out more.

"But what if it's NOT NOTHING!?"

"Then I don't want people to know from a rumor or eavesdropping."

"Oh my god" Chris breathed outrunning his hands through his hair, "but HOW!? I mean, I KNOW HOW! But we used protection."

"I know, but contraceptives aren't always effective. Condoms only work like 97% of the time."

"WHAT!?" Chris jumped looking at her incredulously.

"You didn't know?"

"NO!! They should put that on the box!"

"They do..."

Chris opened his top dresser drawer and dug around, pulling out a box of condoms, and looking over it, "well they should put it in big bold print!" He exclaimed.

He looked over at Sofia and he relaxed as he looked at her scared brown eyes. Chris sighed as he moved to sit on his bed next to Sofia and took her hand in his.

"What makes you think that?" He asked softly.

"I'm getting sick, and I'm late by about two months."

"But isn't that normal for you?" He asked, "the period part not the sick one."

"Yeah, how did you know?" Sofia cocked her head to the side.

"Well, I know what you're like when you have it, and I know what you're like when you don't. I've noticed that sometimes you've skipped." He
shrugged.

"Yeah. But," Sofia sighed, "I have this gut feeling that something is out of the ordinary. I really needed to talk to someone, but I didn't want to talk to my sisters, because they might let it slip. I didn't want to talk to my mom because then she might tell Nonna and Nonno--" She started to freak out so Chris cut her off.

"So you told me" Chris concluded, Sofia nodded.

"Look, I know that you're close with your Mom, but can you try to not say anything until we 100% know? And if it turns out we are, can you wait to say anything until we agree it's a good time?" the Latina pleaded, "I don't really want people knowing that we had sex..." She tried to say gently.

"Do you regret it?" Chris asked, "I asked you if you were sure multiple times and you said yes, did I pressure you or something?"

"No," Sofia stated, shaking her head and squeezing his hand, "you didn't do anything. It was me. Besides, it's kinda a personal thing and I don't want a bunch of people knowing."

"But it's just Ma," Chris pouted

"Yeah, but you know how moms tend to keep each other in the loop, and my parents promised to keep my grandparents in the loop of what's happening with me. Then my grandparents are going to get all embarrassed and begin venting it to people, and then they're going to go around telling people. Chris looked at Sofia nervously, "she already knows doesn't she?" Sofia asked, already knowing the answer. Chris nodded. "ay Dios mío '' Sofia muttered, running a hand through her hair, "well, I saw it coming. I'm just glad you have a good relationship with your mom that you feel comfortable talking to her about that stuff." Sofia smiled.
