I look between Nat and James confused. Why are me they handing this bag of pregnancy tests? Since James is not sexually active, that leaves Jelly.

"Jelly, do you think you are pregnant?", I ask.

"Me? No, not me.", Nat says.

I look at James.

"Aow, I am not the Virgin Mary.", James says.

"Are we doing a project for biology? I don't understand. Why do we have a bag of pregnancy tests?"

"For you Nhu.", Nat says.

I point my finger at my chest. They nod their heads.

"But I...shit."

James takes a test from the bag, tears open the box, and begins reading the instructions. I sit holding a bag of pregnancy tests head spinning. I have only had sex with penetration once and that was a month and a half ago with Zee. If I am right, and we did not use protection...I could be...No way. What are the odds? Neither of us was in a rut/heat. I try to think back but my brain has been crap lately. Did he knot me?

"It's easy. Pee in this cup. Take the top off this stick. Dip this end in the cup. Count to three take it out and place this side of the stick up on the counter. Then wait 5 minutes. Don't let this end touch anything and make sure it is level.", James says.

He hands me the pregnancy test.

"Seriously guys. This is unnecessary."

"How long have you been throwing up?", asks Jelly.

"Fine!"

I grab the pregnancy test and go to the bathroom. Why am I so mad right now? My face is burning hot, and my hands are shaking. It's just a pregnancy test. They are ruling things out. This does not mean I am pregnant. But I don't want to take the test. As soon as they implied that I was pregnant, I started to have a very bad feeling. All this time, I never once thought about pregnancy, but as soon as they said it, I knew.

Ten minutes later I come out shaking and grab another box of pregnancy tests.

"What did it say?"

"Hey! Nhu! You can't leave us out here like this."

After trying 5 different brands of pregnancy tests, I accept I might be pregnant with Zee Pruk Panich's child.
