The next week was uneventful until Beca got her stitches out. "I have a scar," she said with a scowl. Her skin was so pale, the scar was way darker than her skin.
"It's not that noticeable, Becs, don't worry."
"It's really noticeable I hate it. It's like 2 inches long."
"Beca, your ankle is ok, and you're ok. If a scar is all you got from this whole ordeal, then I'm pretty proud of you."
"It's ugly."
"Let it go. Stop being self conscious about it."
Chloe and Beca went home and hung out the rest of the day.
Chloe went to work early the next day, and Beca stayed asleep. When Beca woke up, she did not feel good at all. She had a huge stomach ache and she threw up twice. She decided to text Chloe that she was going to the doctor.
Hey Chlo I'm not feeling good, so I'm going to the doctor.
What's wrong? Should I come home?
No I'm ok. I think it's just a stomach bug.
Ok. Text me if you need anything.
Thanks Chlo.
Beca went to the doctor, and of course Erin wasn't there. After the other doctor checked her out, she received the news. She didn't know whether to take it as good or bad. She was so overwhelmed with it, she went home and cried. She couldn't even keep herself together to call Jesse or Chloe.
Chloe walked through the door to a crying Beca. "What happened Becs? Are you ok? What's going on??"
Beca told her though the tears. "I'm.........pregnant.."
Chloe gave her a big hug with a smile on her face. "Beca, that's so exciting! I'm so happy for you! Why are you crying? Have you told Jesse?"
"I guess it was that night in the hotel room. No I haven't told Jesse." Beca calmed down a little bit.
"Why haven't you told Jesse?"
"Chlo, he didn't want kids. How am I going to tell him? I can't even keep myself together for 30 seconds."
"He'll be so happy, Becs. I promise."
"Chloe, I am 25 years old. how am I going to raise a child? I can barely take care of myself. I don't know anything about kids."
"Jesse will help you, and he or she will have their Aunt Chloe around all the time." Chloe smiled. "It will be ok. I promise. Just call Jesse."
Beca picked her phone up, her hands shaking.
Hi, Jess.
Hey, baby are you ok? You're crying.
I have some news for you Jess. I'm pregnant.
Becs, that's great! We're going to start a family!
I'm so scared Jess.
Don't be. I'll fly up tonight. I'll be here around 2 in the morning.
Ok. I love you.
Love you too.
Chloe smiled. "See, it's all going to be ok. Have you found a place to live?"
"Chloe that's the last thing I'm thinking about right now."
"You need to start. I know it's overwhelming, but I promise, this will help. The neighbors just moved."
