Wonderstruck

   "Here babe," I said to Vic, tossing her a beer. 

   "Thanks," she said. "I'm surprised there were any left."

    She was right. The drinks were disappearing as if we were in the desert. 

   "My secret stash," I told her. Which was part true. I knew that Kendall was hiding some for later, where no one would find them, but I could easily outsmart him. 

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   By now I've lost count of how many drinks I had. I'm stumbling around, bumping into people. Around me, people are doing the same thing.

  I saw Vic and tried to make the trek of four steps without falling down. I grabbed her and pulled her out of the crowd. I led her upstairs. I kicked open a door to one of Kendall's guest bedrooms, and locked the door behind us. 

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I woke up to an early morning sun shining in my face. My first thought? Someone turn the damn sun off!

  It was way too bright. It was blinding, almost. I couldn't even keep my eyes open for more than half a minute. When I tried, horrible pain shot through my head. Even a distant chirp of a bird sounded like a bomb.

  Then I looked next to me. Vic was sleeping. Then I realized I was naked, and she was too, probably. She stirred, and saw me. I realized I had no memory after 9:00 last night.

   "Do you remember what happened last night?" I asked her. She shook her head. "Do you think we-"

   "I'm sure of it..." Vic cut in. 

                            ~2 weeks later~

   "Just read it," I told Vic. "Suck it up and be brave."

   "I can't! You do it," she said dramatically. She held out her arm so I could see the pregnancy test.

   "What does what mean again?" I asked.

   "+ is positive, - is negative. Isn't that obvious?"

  "I'm just making sure!" Could this make a mistake? "It's... Positive," I said in disbelief. 

   "I'm pregnant!" She screamed, jumping up and down like a kid. I picked her up and spun her around.

   "I'm going to have a baby," she looked at me. "We're going to have a baby."

  I smiled at her. "You'll be the perfect mother."
