EMMAS POV:
The next morning, Blake was in the bathroom puking for an hour. I knock on the door.
"Blake honey it's me" there was no response. "Are you okay?"
I opened the door slowing. "Honey"
"Yeah" she managed to get out before you gagged up what we had for dinner last night.
I walk over and hold her hair back with one hand and rub her back with the other.
After about thirty minutes she stopped puking and sat back against the bathtub.
"You've been like this for days Blake. What's wrong? Do you feel sick anywhere else?" I asked
"I feel a little dizzy and fatigue" Blake said. "I-" she paused.
She looked over at her bag that was next to the sink. She crawls over to it and pulls out tampons.
"I missed my period" Blake said with a flushed look on her face.
"Well-" I said. I didn't know what to say. What do you say to your nervous daughter who might be having a pregnancy scare. "Have you-"
"Yes. Once." She said making sure I didn't have to finish my sentence.
"How long ago?" i said
"8 days ago."
"I'm guessing it was with Ben" I assumed.
She closed her eyes and nodded her head.
"What am I gonna do? Do you really think I'm pregnant?" Blake asked, unable to make eye contact with me.
I sighed. "There's a possibility." I paused. "I'll have to go get a pregnancy test."
I ran to the nearest store. A lot of thoughts went through my head. She's 19 almost 20, it could be worse. I also thought about what we were gonna tell Ray, and how Blake would tell Ben, a man she's only known for 10 days. I mainly thought about Blake. I'm not, nor would I ever be, disappointed in Blake. A baby is not something to be disappointed with.
When I got back home, Blake took the test and we both waited patiently in the bathroom.
"When will the boys be back?" Blake asked, pacing the floor.
"Your father said that they would be home from volunteering at around 5" I said
"And what time is it now?"
"4:50"
We looked at the pregnancy test, to see a little pink plus sign. "Oh my god" Blake said, tears swelling up in her eyes. "This can't be happening. Oh my god." She began to break down into tears. I pull her close and hug her.
"I'm sorry mommy. I didn't mean for this to happen." She said crying into my shoulder.
"It's okay baby. It's not a bad thing. It's gonna be okay" I said. I let her cry for a few minutes before I let go of her. "Now we need to think about our options."
She nodded her head and wiped her eyes. "We should schedule an appointment with the Doctor to make sure you're really pregnant"
I got on the phone with the Doctor and talked as quietly as I could. We would go tomorrow. The boys were just getting home as I was getting off the phone.
"Hey honey" Ray said kissing the tip of my head.
"Hi ms Gaines" Ollie said.
Ben smiled and waved at me. I had crossed feeling of punching that boy for getting my daughter pregnant. Not that I hated him or anything. It's just a motherly thing.
Later that night when everyone went to sleep, Ray and I sat down at the table and talked. We talked about the earthquake and about local news.
We then sat in silence. "So what are we?" Ray asked. "Are we back together?"
I look at him in shock of his blunt question. "Well what do you want?" I asked.
"I want to be with you" he said
