Saving Grace

Chapter 24: Theories Put to Rest

Today was one of those free pass study days at school. I left during lunch to go to my doctor's appointment. My mom came and picked me up and she could tell I was nervous.

"Just know that if you are pregnant, I'm not mad at you and I will be okay and understanding with what you decide to do," she confessed looking at me quickly at the stoplight.

"If I am, I'm keeping the baby. My mistake, my responsibility," I said taking a deep breath once we parked. I got out of the car and walked into the reception area and signed myself in. I waited for my OBGYN to call me back to his office and started on my homework from Coach's class. I got double the homework from him. I swear he makes it his life's mission to hate both Stiles and me.

"Mylia Evans."

I stood up when I heard my name and followed the nurse back to a room. My OBGYN walked in and asked me the necessary questions before finally taking a urine sample to conduct the test. I sat there texting Lydia the whole time. I know she won't tell Stiles if I am pregnant. They don't really talk much.

"Well Mylia, I guess your assumptions are correct. Congratulations, you're going to be a mother. I'll leave you alone to gather your thoughts," Doctor Williams, my OBGYN, told me leaving the room. I can't believe it I'm pregnant. There's no way Stiles is going to want to stay with me. I walked out to the parking lot and took a deep breath before breaking down. I always wanted to be married and have a good paying job before I had a child. I wanted to make sure that I could provide for them, give them the necessaries they need and then some. How would I know if Stiles even wants children?! Mylia your over thinking this. Just tell Stiles the truth when he comes back. He won't hate you. He could never hate you.

"Are you okay?" Mrs. McCall asked when she saw me pacing back and forth. I shook my head and stopped.

"I'm pregnant and I have no idea how I'm going to tell Stiles," I confessed to her.

"Oh honey. You just have to tell him the truth. He'll understand completely. He could never leave you. He loves you to much to do that," she told me rubbing my back. She gave me a soft smile and walked back towards the door.

"Talk to him sooner rather than later. It'll give him time to let it sink in." she said before walking inside. I took a deep breath before taking her advice and calling Stiles.

'Please pick up" I silently begged pacing in front of the hospital again.
