I'm in Love...with a Rockstar (MCR)

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Surprise

A week later, I am again in the bathroom. Partially, because Mikey needed to do something. Probably to do with my twentieth birthday. And the other part, was I had to pee on a stick again. Part of me doesn't want to, because I'm afraid it'll turn red again. But the other part of me, the one that yearns for a child, that part over throws the unsure half and I do it.

I slip my jeans down over my socked feet and sit. Once it's done, I squeeze my eyes shut for at least five minutes. That one part of me doesn't want to know. But in the end, I look. I peel one eye open at at time. First the left, then the right. I stare down at the stick in my hand. It hasn't changed yet. I shake it, closing my eyes again.

"Pierce?" Mikey knocks on the door. My eyes flicker open and I stare down at the stick, completely shocked. Tears begin to well in my eyes again. I set the stick on the counter and pull up my jeans. As I pick the stick up again, Mikey opens the door. He sees me staring down at the stick, tears in my eyes. "Aw, baby. I'm sorry." He walks towards me and envelopes me in a hug. He doesn't look at the stick. I push him away. "Pierce, what?" I push the stick towards him so he can see it. His face drops. Almost literally drops. He raise his shaking hands to cover his mouth. Tears well in his eyes too. I drop the stick and throw my arms around his neck, grinning tearfully into his shoulder. As his arms wrap around me, I glance at the little green plus sign on the floor. A real birthday surprise.
