Ameliorate: To make something that's bad change into something better.

My periods were 4 days late and I was freaking out!

They were never late, my cycle has been punctual all this while, but it wasn't just now...
It wasn't something that I expected, I was on pills, and last time when we had sex, he used the condom, is what I remember...

I rushed my way out to the drugstore, to get myself 4 pregnancy tests, one of each brand, to just to be sure...

:
:

I enter in my bathroom, and do the requisites...
Stepping out in my room, staring at the clock, to wait for 4 minutes in total, for all the tests to get thru the reactions within...

I moved across my room, with shaky hands and feet...

The thought of carrying a baby scared me when I knew, my boyfriend is not really up for any commitment... he'll blame me, like every other guy, who mistakenly gets his girlfriend pregnant...
He'll ask me to give up the baby, and the mere thought sends shivers down my spine, it was scary...

I looked up at the wall clock, and there were still 3 minutes left, the time doesn't seem to be proportional with the rate of number of thoughts that are striking my mind continuously...

:
:

I step into my washroom, taking a breath of courage, and a step of faith on my destiny and life...

I held all four of the tests in my hand collectively, and arranged them properly, while my eyes were closed...
Counting under my breath... I opened my eyes, and looked down to the four tests... reading one common conclusion...

"POSITIVE"

I was pregnant, was all I could think, at the moment...
All I wanted to do was cry, sob and shout at the top of my lungs, declaring to everybody out there, that I was pregnant...
