Jessie Winston

Chapter Thirteen

It's been about a month since Pony and I last did it. We've been together for about 7 months now.

I ain't been feeling too hot lately. I don't know what's happening. I haven't been hungry but also I want food. I'm only 15. This is making me nervous. Thankfully, Rosie and the triplets were home.

"Rosie, can we go to the hospital?"

"What for, Jessie?"

"I ain't been feelin too hot for about a week and I don't know what's going on."

"Have you been sexually active?"

"Yeah."

"You might be pregnant."

"But I ain't been nauseous or nothin."

"It doesn't matter. We can go to the store and get you a pregnancy test." She suggested.

"Alright."

"DARRY!!"

"YEAH ROSIE?"

"I'M TAKING JESSIE TO THE STORE WITH ME! CAN YOU AND THE BOYS WATCH THE TRIPLETS?"

"SURE THING BABE! LOVE YOU!"

"LOVE YOU TOO!"

And with that we left.

Rosie drove a '56 Chevy Bel Air. It was teal. I loved that car. On our way to the store, Rosie and I made conversation.

"So, have you had your period this month?"

"No." I answered.

"You are most likely pregnant. Listen, I need to get one too so I'll get two packs because they come with two in them."

"We'll wouldn't that be right? One for each of us?" I asked confused.

"You should always take two to know you are sure."

"Oh gotcha."

We pulled into the parking lot and parked in a spot. We unbuckled our seat belts and got out of the car.

"Hey, thanks for doin this for me." I said.

"It's no problem. But if you don't mind me asking, is it a relationship or are you like your brother?"

"It's a relationship. It's Ponyboy, actually."

Her eyes widened and she looked at me.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah." I laughed.

We walked into the store and went straight to where we needed to be.

"Will you help me through this? Ya know... if I am?"

"Absolutely Jessie Lynn!"

"Thank you!"

We got the stuff, took the boxes and paid. We then left.

At the house, Rosie and I went in the bathroom together and took our tests. We had to wait for five minutes.

The time was up and we counted to three and flipped them over.

1...
2...
3...

"OH MY GOSH!!" We squealed at the same time. I was so excited I cried and Rosie cried with me.

"What will Darry say?" We said at the same time. I was more worried than she was.

"What will Pony say?!" I got super nervous.

"It's okay. It'll be fine!"

"I guess we have to tell them?" I asked.

"Yup."

We opened the door and went down stairs. I was shaking like a madman. It'll be okay. Everything will be just fine.

"Come to the living room!" Rosie yelled. We had a small side conversation while the boys came into the living room.

It's sooner or later. Sooner is better. You are gunna be just fine.
