Blended Love

Chapter 2: Pregnant

The next day I went to the convenience store and bought the most expensive pregnancy tests I could buy. Along with some pedialyte, some nausea medicine and chocolate chip cookies, because I was craving it.

As soon as I got home I went straight to the bathroom and sat on the toilet hoping I had to pee.

While I waited for the pee to come I unwrapped the pregnancy test and searched Reddit for information about taking pregnancy tests.

I used an advanced pregnancy test and it detected my pregnancy a week before I was late.

I took 5 pregnancy tests over 3 months when my period was late and didn't get a positive test until I took the 6th one and was already 4 months along. Best advice I could give. Go to your doctor. They'll know better then a test.

Don't use those cheap dollar store test. They won't tell you you're pregnant until the whole world knows.

I read somewhere that the best time to pee on a stick is first thing in the morning especially if  you're testing relatively early. The pregnancy hormone won't be abundant for a little while. But the pee you've stored up through the night will have higher levels of the hormone if you're pregnant. I did this and knew I was pregnant 10 days after my period. My morning test was a vibrant positive whereas my afternoon test was very faint. Good luck to you mama.

I exit the app and try pushing again to see if any pee would come out.

Not even a tinkle. I stand up and decide that I'll take the test in the morning like the one lady recommended.

I tried to get my mind off of my nausea stomach by cleaning my room up. I start off by sorting all of my laundry into different piles to wash. As I'm throwing things around I come across one of Michael's shirt. A navy blue polo that I loved for him to wear. I bring the shirt up to my nose and inhale the scent of his cologne. One that I had bought him on his birthday a few months ago.

The smell brings tears to my eyes and before I know it I'm reliving the worst day of my life.

*Flash back begins*

I walked into our apartment from grocery shopping.

I was calling Michael to come help bring the groceries up but he wasn't answering his phone. The living room was empty but I could hear the shower running.

No wonder he didn't answer or come help me. I roll my eyes and head out again to get the few bags that were left in the car. When I enter the house again, the shower is still running, so I close the door and start putting away the things I bought.

I left out the things I was going to make for dinner that night, then headed to our bedroom.

I sat on the bed and started taking my shoes off, when I heard a ding go off.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that no notification had come through. I realized it was Michael's but didn't bother to check it.

I started changing into my comfortable clothes when his phone starting dinging repeatedly. I searched around the room for it wondering who was trying to reach him so urgently.

It's probably his group chat. I think to myself before finding it and looking at the phone.

Damn Sara. Must be an emergency at work for you to be texting this many times.

I unlocked his phone to take a look at what she was saying just in case I needed to get him to respond immediately. Michael was the lead supervisor at his job and I know Sara was the manager for some team.
