Unexpected

Chapter Seven

As soon as the boys leave I hop in the shower and stay in there for an hour just thinking and crying. I can't ruin Michael's career by having a baby. Then I realize that I haven't even checked the stick. I hop out of the shower and throw a towel around myself. I get the box with the stick and decide to take another one not trusting the one i took an hour ago. I don't even bother to check it.
I wait a couple minutes and take in a long breath and let it out slowly closing my eyes and picking up the stick. I slowly open my eyes and only see one line. I sigh in relief.
I'm not pregnant.

I get dressed smiling and fix my hair feeling better already. I put on light make up. I wear some jean shorts and a plain black t that's Michael's and throw on a cute necklace and some black converse. I head downstairs and smile widely at Karen.
"Hi" I say cheerily.
"Hi?" She says looking at me confused. "So are you pregnant?"
"Nope. No baby in my uterus today." I say grabbing an apple. I head to the front door and grab my purse. "I think I'm going to go on a walk." I say smiling still.
"Oh ok. So you are just all of a sudden feeling better?" She says still looking confused.
"Yep"
"Avery I think we should go to a doctor and have them test you just to be sure. Sometimes the home tests are wrong."
"No it's fine... I don't need to see a doctor." I say quickly and wave goodbye.
I walk to the park eating the apple I grabbed. My phone buzzes in my back pocket and I pull it out.

Karen: I really think you should see a doctor, Avery.
Me: I'm all good.
I text back and ignore whatever other texts I get. I walk along the path looking at the playground. I see toddlers playing in the sand and kids swinging. I see a mother holding a new baby and smiling down at it. I quickly look away not wanting to see a mother. I will not become a mother. I don't even know why I'm worrying. I'm not pregnant.
I can't be pregnant. I'm on the pill and Michael and I sometimes use condoms. We take precautions. We use protection. We couldn't of made a human.
We didn't make a human. Oh god. Did we make a human? Should I see a doctor? The test was negative. Tests are usually right.

I'm not pregnant.

I walk around the park for 30 minutes and start to feel hungry again. There's a cafe about 10 minutes away so I start to head there.
As I'm walked I see couples holding hands and a women with a toddler getting ice cream. I smile at the toddler and he giggles at me and waves. I keep walking and I place my hand on my stomach.
What am I doing? No. Stop it. You aren't pregnant.

I get to the cafe and walk in.
