The Dumb and The Clueless

Chapter 51: Pregnant? Don't Think So.

I finally wake up to what seems like all hell just broke loose on me. I wake up, and it's one in the afternoon. Whoa. I get up scratching my head and head downstairs. Harry's ordering a pizza, and I'm right behind him. "Heyyy, morning sleeping beauty" he says, while covering the phone's speaker. I can't keep this from him any longer. He finally hangs up after placing the order, and faces me. "H-Harry?" "Yeah babe? You look shaken up?" I nod, and invite him to sit in the living room. "I have something to tell you.." I whisper. "What's wrong?" he asks. I take a shaky breath, and I finally spit it out. "H-Harry" "Yes?" "I think I'm-" "You're?" "I think I'm pregnant." I finish. His eyes widen and he covers his mouth. I shut my eyes tight, knowing that he's probably going to go in a panic or something and leave. "Wow.." he says, breaking the silence. "That's-" he starts but pauses. "That's wonderful!" he exclaims while jolting up. "What?" I ask, shocked. "That's awesome I mean, I'm going to be a father!" I wipe the tears from my face as he pulls me into a hug, and I hear my mom burst through the door. "Stop!" she yells. I stare at her confused, as my dad pops in right behind her. "It's fake, all of it!" she exclaims. "What?" Harry and I ask, in sync. "It's rigged, it's rigged!" I look at her, in disbelief. "How could you-" "I did it, to scare you. You always play pranks on me, so I decided I should get you back." My mouth hangs open, and I charge at her. The charge wasn't successful, because Harry grabbed my waist, and restrained me. "Calm down Ka-"  "I cannot calm down! She tricked me into thinking I'm pregnant! What the hell, mom!" I yell, out of breath. She stops laughing and her face turns scared. "Did I really frighten you?" I nod, and she immediately turns sad. "Oh honey.." she whispers, while pulling me in for a hug. I push her off of me, and run up to my room. "Wait, Kati-" Harry starts. The sound of my door slamming doesn't let me hear him finish, and I'm so mad I could literally punch the wall. I change into my exercising stuff, and climb out onto my balcony. I go down a ladder that's at the side of my window, and run to my car and drive off. As soon as I get to the third floor, I run inside and head for the punching bags. I start punching to let my anger out, and I get so frustrated I stop. I sit down, and then Harry's hand is on my shoulder. "Katie, it's okay. I didn't know either but it's not a big difference. Better no than yes." I nod, and he hugs me. Now, I feel better.
