It all started with that test, well technically it all started with a drunken night in a motel room a month earlier with my then fiancé, but we'll keep this PG-13.
I woke up fairly early, I was used to staying up all hours of the night, but I was feeling very fatigued and had fallen asleep pretty early the night before. My fiancé was still at work, he worked overnight security at a well known car factory, and had been held over a few hours and wouldn't be home for a couple more hours.
We had just moved in together, a two bedroom trailer, nothing fancy but it was home to us.
That morning really had started like any other, a cup of coffee and contemplating what to have for breakfast. And then I got lost in my head, I started thinking, when was the last time I had my period? I hadn't had one since before we moved in but my cycle was always irregular, so I thought maybe with the new changes recently in my life, my body was just trying to adapt. I went from working constantly to not working at all, I had lost my job the day after we moved in, obviously the move, and I was feeling really anxious all the time.
Eventually I sided with my logical senses and decided to take a test that I had on hand because we had had pregnancy scares in the past (due to my irregular cycle) , and I usually kept them handy.
It was one of those dollar store ones with the little dropper, so I peed in a cup and took both test and cup to the kitchen and stood there as I watched the test do it's magic. The results, I was not ready for. As soon as those two lines appeared, I slid to the ground, holding my knees in shock.
At that moment, little did I know the roller coaster this journey would take me on, along with the heartbreak that followed....
