Fantasy Becomes Reality

Chapter 19

I climbed out of bed quietly and looked in my purse to find the tests. I read that they read most accurately in the morning so that's why I waited. I got up and was sore which I knew I would be and took it into the bathroom locking the door behind me just incase Andrew woke up. I took it and sat on the edge of the bath waiting a few minutes to read the results. Five minutes passed and I didn't even want to look. Two lines meant pregnant, one line meant not pregnant. I lifted it up slowly and my hands were shaking. When I read it there were two lines. My heart sank and I didn't even want to believe. I still had another test so just to be sure I took that one too. Another five minutes passed and I checked it again nervous. Two lines. I put it down and looked in the mirror and started crying. I couldn't handle that right now, I still had college, Andy had work, I was still young. I didn't even know how to tell my parents let alone Andrew and no one really knew about us. You couldn't just hide that. I sat down on the bathroom floor and buried my face into my knees and sobbed. I couldn't tell if I was being loud or not but I didn't care.

"Jasmine?" I heard Andrew say. I went to talk but nothing came out but sobs.

"Jasmine what's wrong?" I heard him walk to the door and jiggle the handle but he couldn't get in.

"Jasmine God dammit open the door what's wrong?" He asked. I couldn't speak. I was in shock and a mess and was still naked.

"Jasmine open the door." He almost yelled. I could tell he was slamming against the door and I guess he had picked the lock because he had gotten in.

"What's wrong?" He asked calmly sitting down next to me and holding me as I sobbed into his chest. I couldn't tell him so I just pointed to the sink. He looked confused and got up to see what I was pointing at. He picked up one of them and read it and then the other and I swear he was about to pass out.

"Oh no baby." He whispered.

He sat down sliding his back down the wall and kept looking at it. He ran his fingers through his hair. I couldn't tell if he was angry but my eyes were also blurry from the tears. He sat there for a second and sat it down going back over to me and held me. He kissed my forehead and I sat on his lap and he held me as I cried.

"I'm scared." I said when I could finally talk.

"Andrew I'm too young for this, I have college, you have work, my parents." I said.

"I know baby." He said calmly tucking strands of hair behind my ear.

"Listen to me." He said as I cried.

"Hey listen to me." He said lifting my head up to look at him.

"I love you, and whatever happens we will happen okay? But I'm not leaving you. If you want to go through with this, we will. This isn't just your fault." He said. I calmed down and he wiped the tears under my eyes with his thumb.

"My parents." I said.

"I know, trust me I'm terrified for that." He said.

"Do you want to go home early?" He asked.

"Andrew no ill ruin the vacation." I said.

"No you won't." He said.

"Is this what you wished for last night when you blew that candle out?" I asked and laughed a little still sniffling my nose.

"No." He laughed weakly.

"I'm sorry." I said.
