Can we keep a secret?

Part 25

It was three weeks later since that thing with Robert. Obviously its been hard not seeing him as i was attached to him but i have delt with it. My dad keeps asking me why have i gone moody for but my answer is always that I'm tired. He booked me into the doctors because he thinks I'm depressed but Im really not. Some boys are just dickheads. I have the doctors appointment Today though and I didn't really know what i was going to say to them. Maybe i should just say i broke up with someone and i have been a moody mess since and hopefully they wont give me tablets i Don't actually need.

"Are you ready!" Dad shouts up the stairs as he said him and scarlett was taking me.

"Yeah" i shout back.

I finish tieing my lace and i head downstairs.

"Chris go to the car. I will be out now" scarlett says as she sees me.

Dad leaves and i walk towards scarlett.

"You can tell me. Whats the matter" she asks

"I will tell you. Promise not to tell anyone though not even dad" i say.

"I promise" she says holding out her pinky finger.

I hold my pinky to hers but then dad beeps his horn.

"Tell me after the doctors" she says smiling.

"Okay" i reply.

We head to the car and i get in the back seat. We drive to the doctors and i walk in and say my name and i wait for the doctor to call me which she wasn't long doing.

I walk into the room and i sit on the seat and she smiles at me.

"So dad says you have been very moody recently. Do you know why? Is there a reason?" She asks.

I was quite close with my doctor i have had her since i was little so i could trust her.

"Yeah" i reply.

"Is it dad?" She asks.

"No. Basically i had this well i would say boyfriend but we never made it official. It was a awkward situation. Anyway we had been going around having sex and kissing and things without dad knowing but a few weeks ago he was acting strange so i went to his house and seen him but he blamed it on the stress of work" i say.

"Work? Is he older than you?" She asks.

"Yeah. Dads age" i reply.

"Oh. Well carry on" she says.

"Anyway we kissed and we took it futher to the bedroom and obviously we done things but he had a text and as soon as he looked at that text he turned on me like he said get dressed and i met him downstairs and he said that he didn't want to do this anymore. So i dont know what happened but i walked out and haven't seen him since" i say.

"So you have been having sex?" She asks.

"Yes. Im sexuality active. Well i was" i reply.

"Do you use protection?" She asks.

"Yeah. Well that time we didn't as he didn't have any but he pulled out" i say.

"Im going to ask you a few questions okay?" She asks.

"Yeah sure" i reply.

"So you are having these mood swings. Have you been sick recently?" She asks.

"No not at all" i reply.

"Okay. Have you been peeing a lot recently?" She asks.

"Funny enough i have. More than usual" i say.

"Okay. What about sleep? Have you been sleeping?" She says while taking notes down. I felt like i was in therapy.

"No. Well i have but on and off" i reply.

"Right okay. Anything else you have found different with you recently?" She asks.

"Yeah. I live on a farm as you know and normally i can deal with the smell of cow poo but recently its been turning me" i say.

"Okay. What about your period? When are you due?" She asks.

"Uh im not sure. I haven't had it in a while. I can check" i say.

"Please do" she smiles.

I take my phone out and i check my app and i gasp.

"Im a week late. 8 days" i say.

"Im going to have to ask you to take a pregnancy test sweetheart" she says.

I nod and she takes out out of the cupboard and hands it to me. I go to the toilet and take it and i take it back to her with shakey hands.

"With all the symptoms you have had im pretty sure it's pregnancy" she says and looks at the test. "And im right. Your pregnant issy" she says.

I take the test out of her hand and stare and it and i start to cry.

"Shh. I know the situation is difficult at this moment but there are other options. Theres abortion and you can get help with the baby" she says.

"I don't want to abort it. I just.. i don't know how I'm supposed to tell my dad" i say wiping my tears away.

"Want me to speak with dad for you?" She asks.

"No. I will tell him" i reply.

"Okay. Well im here if you need help with anything sweetheart. Good luck" she says.

I stand up and so does she and i hug her. When i leave i make sure i look okay and i head back to the car.

"What did she say?" Dad asks.

"Its just my period messing my hormones up" i lie.

"Oh right okay" dad says.

We heads home and i go to the garden and sit on the chairs and scarlett joins me.

"What did she really say" she asks.

"Im pregnant" i reply.

"What? With who?" She asks.

I tell her everything about Robert and after i finish i start to cry.

"Its okay. Im here for you. You dont have to tell them yet but hun you have to tell them at some point okay? Dad may get a little angry or upset that its with Robert mainly because he is your teacher and of course its a difficult situation with Robert but i will be here for you every step of the way" scarlett says holding my hand.

"Thank you. It really does mean a lot" i say trying to smile

"Maybe you should tell dad you are pregnant but dont tell him who the dad is" she says.

"Yeah. I will" i say.

She takes my hand and we head inside. Dad was sat on the sofa and he looks up at us.

"Whats wrong? I dont like this" he says.

"Dad im pregnant" i say sitting down.

"What? Im going to be a grandad?" He asks happily.

"Yeah" i reply.

"Oh my. Who is the dad?" He asks.

"Uh. It was a one night stand" i lie.

"Oh" he replys but he soon smiles again. "I will help you raise this child. Yes they will need a dad but at the moment you dont need them. We will help you. Im happy for you kiddo" dad says and he comes over and hugs me.

I didn't actually expect a good reaction from him but its the best reaction i could ever wish for.
