My sister waits with me in the bathroom as we wait for results on the test. Its been well over 3 minutes. "Flip it over now, Kamryn." My sister urges me. "No I don't want to." I tell her. "Ugh move." She pushes me out of the way and looks at the test. "Kamryn," my sister sighs. "Ugh, no, shuttup... Please... No." I say, I grab the stick from her and look at it. I see a small "+". I sit there in disbelief. "Fuck... FUCK! Keri... Help me." I say, scared and confused. "What? What do you possibly want me to do, Kamryn? Flick my wand and make it all go away?" She says sarcastically. I feel a lump in my throat. I slide down to the floor and I began to cry. "Don't cry." My sister sits by me, consoles me and hugs me. "It'll be okay." She tells me. "No its not Keri, I'm having a child for someone I'm no longer with. Someone who is married." I tell her. "We're just gonna have to tell him." She says.
"No, I don't want to. I fucking hate him."
"Okay, I can understand that, but this isn't about you anymore. You need to do what's right for this child. You have to grow up and set your differences aside."
"I'm not ready for all this."
"It doesn't matter. You have to do this now."
"I swear you remind me of mom sometimes."
"Well I'm just saying, be responsible about this. If you two can lay down and make that baby together, you can raise it together too."
"Well we weren't really laying down much, but Ok." I joke.
"Shuttup, Kamryn, this is serious."

"Ok, I know I hear you."

"Do you?"
"Yes I do. Honestly, I'm hearing you."
"Ok, now, we're going to get you an appointment set up and then we're going to give him a call."
"Fuck. Ok."
"Ok. Good."
I call the clinic and schedule an appointment. I'm scheduled for Thursday, 3 days from now. My sister drives me in town to find a good signal. I just sit there. "Oh my god, Kamryn I swear you can be childish at times." She snatches my phone out of my hand and calls his number. It rings, and rings.... And rings. We get his voicemail. "Hello, Chris, this is Keri, uhh please give me a call back as soon as possible, its urgent. We need to discuss something." She hangs up. I cry again. "I don't want to tell him." I say crying. "Why?" She asks. "He obviously wants nothing to do with me, why would he want anything to do with this baby?" I add.
"He's just busy, Kamryn, I'm sure. He's fucking filming a Jurassic movie for fucking Pete's sake." She says reassuring me.
That night I cry myself to sleep. I'm half awake as I hear Keri speaking to someone on the house phone. It's Chris. "Yes, she's fine, she's sleeping right now. Ahem, I wish she could be awake to tell you what I am about to tell you, but she's had a hard day and I don't want to wake her.." She's silent for a moment as she listens to the voice on the other line talking to her. "No, no, no. Everything is fine. It's just that, something came up. Ahem, Kamryn is... Expecting." She goes silent again. "Yes totally serious." Again she is silent. "No we don't know the due date or anything yet. She has an appointment scheduled for Thursday." Silence. "Yes I'll let her know you'll call. Okay. Bye." She hangs up.
Thursday rolls around pretty quick. Me and my sister meet up at the clinic. Chris texts.
Chris: Let me know when you're being seen.
5 minutes after his text we hear, "Kamryn Taylor" being called by a nurse. She takes us in the back.
Me: We're headed back now.
Chris: Ok I'll facetime in a minute.
Me: Ok.
I piss in a cup and they send it to the lab. The nurse checks my vitals, "the doctor will be in soon." She tells me. My phone rings and its Chris requesting to facetime. I answer. "Hey" he says. "Hey," I reply back. "Whats going on?" He asks. "Nothing still waiting for the doctor." I tell him. "Ohh, the doctor hasn't come in yet?" He asks. "No, not yet." I reply.
The doctor enters the room "Hello, Ms.," he looks at my chart. "Taylor. How is everything?" He asks. "Fine I guess." I reply. "Okay, you did in fact come back positive." He looks down at my phone. "Ohh Im sorry, no phones allowed during the visit." He tells me. "This is the father of my child, he can't be here today due to his job, so he's facetiming me." I show him Chris. "Hello, doctor." Chris says. "Ohh," the doctor laughs. "Well I guess that's fine. But you're going to have to have her hold the phone." He points at my sister. I hand the phone to Keri. She faces the phone towards me. I see Chris. He smiles. "Okay," the doctor says. "What we're going to do is an ultrasound just to see how far along you are and to see how well baby is progressing. I'm going to have you lay back and we'll get started." He tells me. I lay back. "Okay this is gonna be a little warm." He takes the jelly off the warmer and squirts it on my stomach. "Okay just tell me if I'm hurting you or if you feel uncomfortable at all." He says. I nod. He moves the device around my stomach looking for baby. He finds it. It looks like a little peanut. "It looks like your are around 7 weeks gestation. So.." He types in his computer. "Baby should be here around... June 15th. That sound good?" He asks. I look at Chris, we laugh and both say "Yes." The doctor chuckles. "Ok awesome. Now.. Do you see that flashing there?" He points it out. "Yeah." I answer. "That's the heart. Now if I flip this switch we might be able to hear it." He flips the switch. All of a sudden, I hear a rapid sound of "chik,chik,chik,chik,chik,chik." And a "whooshing" noise. "That's the heartbeat. It sounds good. Everything is fine so far." I look at Chris and Keri with a smile, I have a lump in my throat and I feel tears falling down my face. "Mom is happy?" The doctor asks. I nod. "Good. Now lets get you cleaned up and we'll schedule your next appointment." He wipes my stomach off. And leaves for a moment. "Ohh my gosh Kamryn, this is real." Keri says. "What're you thinking Chris?" Keri asks him. "That was awesome. I wish I could be there. I teared up a bit back there." He laughs. "Aww, you guys are gonna be good parents." Keri tells us. The doctor comes back in and we schedule an appointment. "I'll see you a month from today." He hands me a piece of paper with the date and time on it. I tell Chris the date of the next appointment. "Alright. Kamryn, I was wondering if we could talk later? I want to discuss some things with you." He says. "Sure." I say. He tells me what time to expect his call.

I wait around for his call. I began to grow tired and just head to bed. Around midnight my sister brings the phone in and tells me I have a call. "Hello?" I say, still half asleep. "Hey," he laughs, "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you, I told Keri I'd just call back tomorrow, but she insisted on waking you up." He tells me. "Yeah, it's OK, whats up?" I ask. "I don't want to beat around the bush, Im sure you want to get back to sleep. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for everything that happened. That week I went to my moms I feel like they just brain washed me into thinking I still wanted to be in that marriage. Me and Anna are no longer together, we're filing for divorce. I wanted to call you and tell you but I just figured you wouldn't speak to me again, after telling me not to speak to you ever again." He tells me. "And I totally deserved getting beat to shit by you. I'm sure my security lost all respect for me that day. And your left hook is deadly." He adds. I laugh. "To be honest, I wouldn't be talking to you right now if it wasn't for this sea monkey." I say as he laughs. "But, I just want to be civil with you for the baby's sake." I tell him. "I want us to be together again. I love you." He says.
"I don't think so.." I say quietly. "Why?" He asks. "Because you're full of shit, that's why." I say. "Can we just please move on from that situation? I'm fucking sorry. I was being dumb. I only gave it a second chance because my mom asked me too." He tells me. "Wow, what are you a fucking mamas boy? Your a grown ass man Chris." I say annoyed. "Please I'm sorry." He says. "I don't know. I'm going back to bed this talk is stressing me out.." I say frustrated.
"Ok. I'll be there for the next appointment."
"Ok. Goodnight." I hang up.
