One Dive (On Hold)

Chapter 1

*Flashback*

I looked up at my grandpa, fear written all over my face. He smiled his great smile, happy that his granddaughter to was doing what he loved. I looked down at the edge of the boat looking deep into the ghastly water wondering what lurked below or what beautiful creatures could be awaiting. I looked at my scubagear dark blue, like the dark ocean and black, like the night sky. My grandpa walked over to me and ajusted all of my gear he wasn't didving with me. His dad didn't when he went diving.He said at the time, ''You have to see the beauty for yourself, then you can always have no fear of what is underneaf there.'' Those words he said have been said over and over passed down. Spoken to all divers before they take there first breath below. The last thing I herd before I jumped below was ''Go.'' Simple as that I got down into the water and swam underneath. The coral, red and pink and lit up the underwater rain forest. The clown fish that youn children now called 'Nemo fish' danced past me in groups. The sharks swam next to me and I swam away in fear. I watched as two crabs fought over the same shell and all the creatures just seemed to move in a motion that just amazed me. I swam up to the serface and looked at my granfather as I grinned ear to ear, He nodded gesturing good job or glad you liked it.

*End of Flashback*

I looked up at the doctor hoping that it wasn't what I thought, If I had to put the ocean away in a jar for 5-10 years I don't know what I'd do. I sat there my best friend, Jeff holding my hand. He has been with me through the tough times and the good times and the times that I wanted to shrivel up and die.The reason I'm here is I met,loved,liked and dated my friend Jonathan . Used to, and he is why I am here. Why I don't want to be here. I hate him now never want to see him again. When I caught him cheating on me I well let's say I've never been anywhere near him since. The nurse came up to me in her blue uniform and I remembered the sea but what she said next made my world spin upside down. "Miss Notra?"

"That's me" I responded trying to sound calm.

"The results are in," She continued "and it turns out you're pregnant and you're one month along congratulations!"

"Thank you!" I said trying to sound excited.

She walked away for a moment and Jeff looked at me concerned.

"Since the father is not here," He said.

"You can be it," I said cutting him off "I rather it be you than anyone else." Jeff went to sign the papers so he could be the "father" until I get a real husband. Jeff came back smiled and took my hand. I was excited but I'm a diver a marine biologist. I basically live in the ocean and because of John I'll have to wait maybe even 5-10 years because I can't put her somewhere for two to three days if I have to travel out far. I want to have a baby just didn't want one now and I'm not putting mine up for adoption. I walked down the stairs Jeff's hand in mine. We decided to go shopping for cravings and all the food I would want and need.

We arrived at Wal-Mart and parked the black van. We walked up to Wal-Mart and grabbed a cart and ran in our whole shopping trip basically was Jeff running around like an idiot and grabbing chocolate bars. What he thought I would need is chocolate eh? Always let the pregnant women pick her food. I strolled around with ease and looked over for the pudding and spaghetti. Now don't worry fellow foodies I don't combine the two. I went and grabbed meat and watched as Jeff ran panting and caught up to me. I grinned at him as he handed over my favorite sweets. We lined up to be met with a snobby cashier who kept flirting with Jeff and sending me glares. As we were walking away I sent her one cold, icy glare that made her look away and continue scanning for the next costumer. A smirk showed up on my face. I looked over to be met with blue eyes with a smile set on his lips. "Got her back didn't you?" Jeff asked "Well I wasn't just going to let her get away with that whole act." I said sending my smile upside down. We walked out Jeff caring the bags and I holding something light. I shall quote "Now that your going to be a mother no caring heavy things!" He said despite all the protests I was and still am making. We drove home in silence except for the few songs we sang together. For once after this long run I was at peace.
