That Girl.

Chapter 9

LEXA'S P.O.V
It was another boring Saturday. I had a doctors appointment to get back on birth control which I think I'm going to need since it is college and I might just fuck my feelings away. I'm always alone so why not just feel comforted for a night. I'm used to it. I had one boyfriend in my life and he just threw me away like I was nothing to him. He is the worst human being I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.

I walk into the office and fill out some tedious paperwork. After a few minutes the nurse explains to me in order for me to get birth control that I need to take a pregnancy test beforehand. I accept and take the cup meant for my urine and fill it up. I hand it to her and she said it may take a few minutes. I occupy my time by reading parenting magazines and pamphlets.

"Ms. Lee." The doctor said behind the door. "Come in" I reply just wanting to get this stupid shot over with so I can get back to binge watching Dexter. The doctor is a slim woman with long blonde hair and light blue eyes. "Ms. Lee, I have some great news for you." I have no idea what this could be but I hope it's not what my mind is thing of. "Oh, what is it?" I say in a nervous tone. "You're pregnant!" She said in an excited matter.

"Thanks" I said and walked no ran out of the building. I can't be a mom. I'm 18 and have a life ahead of me. I never wanted kids and Harry isn't going to take care of this child he's not even my boyfriend. I can't tell him there is no way to tell him. He has a future and now I don't.

I called Anne's girlfriend Taylor. "Hey what's up Lee" Taylor said in a joking tone and I just sobbed into the phone. "Lexa what's wrong?" She asked clearly concerned. "I'm pregnant and I have no fucking clue what to do!" I scream into my phone and luckily I was in my car so no one heard how crazy and pathetic I sounded. "We need a plan." She said calmly. Taylor and I have been friends since the 6th grade and she was always taking care of me like a mom would and I love her dearly. 

"Anne and I just started renting this 3 bedroom and you can live with us because the baby can't live in that cramped space." Taylor informs me. "Thank you." I say still crying about the fact I have a child growing inside me. "We'll raise it together. 3 moms is better than 1 dad" she laughs into the phone. "Bye guys enjoy your vacation alright. I love you guys." I smile into the phone. "I know we're great. Be careful Lee." Taylor says while ending our short call. 

HARRY'S P.O.V

Meghan is driving me insane. We have to go out for brunch which is just a stupid concept. I have been thinking about Curly lately. She hasn't come to class in like 4 months. Mr. Dorman tells me she is going through some personal problems but he assures me that she is working on our project. I'm grateful but very worried about her. I'm gonna stop by her apartment.

I get there and knock on the door. I hear the Stones very loudly blasting through the small apartment. I knock louder but still no response. I will just go in I guess. 

The house is almost empty. There is boxes covering the living room and all the furniture is gone. Not that there was much in here to begin with but the walls were full of posters and lights and now they're barren. Lexa comes out of the room and screams.

"Hey" is all I could muster out. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Lexa says in a very annoyed tone. "I was concerned on why you haven't been going to school. It must be serious" I say looking at the ground trying to avoid eye contact. "I just skip theatre." she says very flatly and her eyes bore into mine. The light green that I usually love is replaced by sadness and hurt. I know it's because of me but I want to hear it from her.

"Is it because of me?" I say almost breaking into tears. "Somewhat because of you." now she's crying and I rush to comfort her. I feel her belly first. I look down and it's very big. How did I not notice this before? "Is that what I think it is." I say clearly staring at her stomach. "I didn't want to ruin your future." Curly says bawling. She looked so hurt and lost. She's only 18 and i'm 21 so her life is more ruined than mine could ever be. I look at her and hug her again.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" I laugh into her hair. "I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping a boy but I will be happy with both." she smiles. It's great to see her smile. I'm taking this way better than I thought. I haven't known Curly for that long but something about her made me trust her. She made me feel whole. I missed her a lot.

"I have a doctor's appointment at 3 actually. If you want to join I will tell Taylor and Anne not to come." she says to me in a hopeful tone. "Of course. I should be scared about this but i'm a little excited to tell you the truth." I reply in all honesty.

*a couple hours later*

Lexa is laying on the table looking nervous. "Babe, it's going to be perfect. She's gonna be healthy and perfect." Is say smiling down to her and squeezing her hand. "She? Harry, it's gonna be a boy." she giggles. "Alright, this is going to be cold Miss Lee." the doctor informs her while pouring clear gel all over her belly. "This monitor will show us everything going on in there." the doctor tells us. "The baby is very healthy and stable. Would you like to know the sex?" he asks us. I look at Lexa for approval and she nods. "Yes please" I say sounding like a school boy.

"It's a girl!" the doctor says very enthusiastically. "I can't believe it. I have a little girl. She's going to be so beautiful and smart." I cry into Lexa's shoulder. "I know." she breathes out also crying. We sat there for a while looking at the screen at our child. I have never felt more love than this moment.

We take some photos home and I put one in my wallet. "Thank you." I say to Curly. "For?" she questions my motives. "For giving me my first child. A girl even." I begin to cry again. "You helped too loser" Curly laughs.

I couldn't be happier.
