Forbidden Love (Student/Teacher relationship)

Chapter 18

The thought of being pregnant again haunts me. I am probably over exaggerating. Well, I know how to be sure I should get a test. I went to the local supermarket and picked up five pregnancy tests. When I got home I peed on all of them. Nervously I checked them shit. Four out of five is positive.

I am doomed. What am I going to do? My phone starts ringing, it's Darren.

"Hello?"

"Hey Erin, Emily is gone to the hospital she in labour. Are you able to make it here."

"Oh really, I will be there ASAP. "

Great isn't that perfect timing, Emily is now giving birth to her second child and I am now pregnant with my second. Oh, shit who's going to pick up Alison and Jake. I'll give Dan a call.

I called Dan he answers on the third ring. "Hey Erin, you know I am in the middle of a class."

"Yeah, but I wouldn't call if it wasn't important. Emily is gone into labour. I am heading to the hospital. I was wondering would you be able to collect Alison and Jake from school and bring them to the hospital."

"Okay, fine. What hospital?"

"St. Mary's. Okay bye."

"Bye."

I am driving up the hospital. Uh, I really hate hospitals. They smell and they just remind me of the time I was hit by a car. I arrived at the hospital within 20 minutes. I went to the front desk to try and find Emily. "Hello, what room is Ms Emily black is in?" She checked her computer.

"Emily black is in room 23."

"Okay Thank you."

when I arrived at Emily's room, she was still in labour and went over to her bedside and held her hand, just like what did for me with Alison. Darren was at her other side. He looked a bit nervous. Emily is screaming with pain. Well, I know how she feels. Emily gave birth to a girl.

"What are you going to call her," I asked with curiosity.

"Lilly." murmur Emily

"That's a lovely name."

Emily's parent's arrive at the hospital minutes later. They seemed happy to see their gran-daughter. About four thirty Dan arrived with Alison and Jake. I don't know why but I now feel really nervous around Dan.

"Thank you so much and sorry I called while you were in the middle of a class. "

"It was no problem, ah it is grand."

Jake was delighted to see his baby sister, he seemed very happy to be a big brother.

On the way home, I brought Jake and Alison out for something to eat, I brought them to KFC. Xan decided to tag along. In KFC I couldn't help and feel so nervous.

"Erin are you okay?Why are you so on edge?"

"Oh I'm fine, it's probably because my graduation is coming up and I should be getting my degree."

"Oh when is your graduation?"

"Next Friday. Oh that reminds would collect Alison from after school club and bring to my graduation?"

"Oh Okay."

When I got home, I put Jake and Alison to bed and crashed out on the couch. It has been a hell of a day. I woke the next morning on the couch, I must of fell asleep. I brought the kids to school.

When I came back after dropping the children. I sat on the couch to think about things. We need a bigger house for one. Emily with two and me with two kids, there isn't enough room in this house. I wonder if Emily is ever going to move in with Darren. Should I tell Dan about the baby or not? Hmm... I prefer not to. Okay maybe in a while. I won't show for at least two months. My head is overflowing with thoughts.

The door bell rang, I went answered the door. It was Josh "Hey long time no see." I said as I gave him a big hug. "Please come in."

"Hey sis, I came here to give you invitation to engagement party."

"Your getting married, wow I am so proud of you."

"You coming to my graduation next Friday?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world little sis."

Josh and I talked for hours. We are always very close. He has a great job, he works inventor. For a surprise for Alison. Josh collected her from school. She loves him to bits. He actually would make a great dad someday.

I went to the hospital to collect Emily and the baby. She's probably really sick of the hospital and its food. Emily was waiting for me outside of the hospital. She put Lilly in the baby car sit and climbed into the front sit beside me. You can tell by the look of her she's exhausted, maybe I shouldn't tell just yet.

"Erin, what's the matter? I ca tell something is bugging you."

"Oh nothing, I am fine."

"Okay, you are the worst liar ever, now tell me."

"Okay fine. I'm pregnant again."

There was that moment of silence, well that was expected.

"You're what?Again? Seriously Dan should for one learn how to keep his manhood in his pants and secondly, he should be more careful. Does he know?"

"Er no."

I seriously don't know if telling him is a good idea.

"Why not he is already a father, what is another child going to do?"

"That's the thing, it involves him more into my life. I don't know what we will be like in five or even ten years later. Would we get married? Are we even meant to be?"

"Erin you shouldn't worrying about the future, you should be focusing on the present."

Emily is right, she can be such a bright spark sometimes.

"Yeah, you're right. But I am not telling Dan I am pregnant, just yet."

"Okay, my lips are locked."

I know if I don't tell Dan soon, it can ruin any sort of relationship we have. The question is how do I break the news to him I am pregnant.

When we arrived at the house, Josh had arranged a welcome party for Lilly. Emily was real surprised and I was too, I didn't think he would do something like this.

I wasn't really up for a party so I decided to go the cafe, for a cup of tea. My head is going to explode with a number of thoughts going through my head. I am getting my degree next Friday. I am pregnant again. I need a bigger house and the worst one of them all, I have to tell Dan and I don't know how. People are noticing how much I am on edge, but I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders.

After I was finishing my tea, I went to the beach to go for a run along the beach to help clear my head. After I just broke down crying. Damn it, why am I so emotional. When I came back it was late and everyone was gone home. I went straight to bed and cried myself to sleep. For the next week I went around all depressed, I wore a track suit and I never wear them. I am a mother of one child never mind two. I had my phone turned off so no one can contact me. The night before my graduation I turn my phone back on. I had six miss calls from Dan and Five messages. I had one miss call from Josh. I am not bother replying. I fell asleep before nine. I got the next and pretended everything is grand and I had my fake smile on. I got ready for my graduation, I put one of my best dresses on. It was a black short dress with a big bow at the back. This is it. I am finally graduating college. I actually felt nervous. Emily drove me to the university where the graduation is being held. When arrive there I froze. It was my mother.
