Mafia

Chapter Two

It has been over a month since the boat party, and the drunken one night stand, Mia hadn't believed me when I walked in our apartment and told her, she said it simply 'wasn't something I would do.' That is very true, normally I would stay way clear of one night stands, but this was different, he was something else. 

"V can you sort the patient out in room 2?" Mary asks as she rushes past with an arm full of medicine, shaking me from my thoughts, he was in my mind a lot recently which is stupid as I will never see him again. Something about him draw me in like a drug, making me want more and more. I snap myself out of my thoughts to respond to Mary, so I don't appear as if I am ignoring her. 

"Yeah of course!" I respond smoothing down my nurse uniform and heading towards room 2, where a polite women sits a book in her hand and a smile directed towards me. "Everything alright?" I ask as I head towards her bed to double check her vitals are all correct. Pearl is one of my current favourite patients, she has recently just had a leg operation and therefore needs help to get around as well as hourly checks and medication. 

"Everything's fine, would you mind helping me to the toilet?" She asks kindly as I help to assist her out of the bed, holding her arm for support as she hobbles towards the toilet. I stand outside as she relieves herself, before I assist her in washing her hands and heading back to her bedroom. "Dinners here!" She says as another nurse arrives with a cart of food, the smell hits my nose making me feel nauseous. 

"Here's your roast dinner Pear!" Nurse Louise says as she places it in front of her, however the smell of the food is stuck in my airways, and my stomach lurches as I rush towards Pearl's bathroom, only just reaching the bathroom before throwing up everywhere. I hear both Pearl and Louise voices asking if I am okay, however before I can respond I throw up again. 

It took me a while to compose myself, before I was able to clean up after myself and start to feel slightly better, Nurse Mary had appeared with a bottle of water, her hands rubbing my back to make me feel slightly better. "You had better go home!" She says offering me her hand to help her up, which I willing take heading towards my locker to grab my stuff. I am a nurse, meaning I am good at spotting what is causing illness, and this illness has a high potential to be a baby. 

On my way home I had grabbed a test from the pharmacy in the hospital, panic filling my body as I thought about how my life will be flipped upside down if I am pregnant. It was my own fault and I knew that, however frustration still ran though my body as I drove home, praying that It comes back negative. 

"What do you mean you might be pregnant? You haven't had sex with anyone!" Mia yells as she stands in the bathroom with me as I pee into a cup, her eyes glaring at me. 

"I told you about him, the one night stand that you said didn't happen!" I snap back as I dip the test into the urine and hold it therefore 20 seconds. How could I be so stupid! I don't even have my own place! I don't even know the father! All of these thoughts ran through my head, as I place the cap on the test and start a timer for five minutes, praying that It comes back with negative. 

"Fuck V! I thought you was lying! What was his name again?" She asks as my eyes stay glued to the test, waiting for the dreaded result. 

"I don't know! I don't remember I was drunk!" I snap back the first line shows up, demonstrating that the test was working correctly, only 2 more minutes before my fate it decided. Mia surprisingly doesn't say anything her eyes also starring at the test that is so painfully slow. Finally the alarm goes off and I have a close look at the test. POSTIVE 

"FUCK V!" Mia shouts her eyes wide and her hand covering her mouth, as we both go silent starring at the test. My whole body was shaking with nerves, and thoughts run through my head. What the fuck am I going to do? I need to tell the father right? Oh wait I don't know his name so I cant do that! "What are you going to do?" Mia asks her eyes light up with worry and sympathy as I burst into tears.
