Step Into Reality

Chapter 11: The Not-So-Secret Secret

I happily skipped back to my room, not giving a shit about what anyone saw on me. I got to my door and knocked softly three times and my boyfriend answered the door.

"Hey babe." He said and I threw my arms around his neck, kissing his jaw. "hey.. what's up? What made you so happy?"He chuckled.

I shrugged. "I'm just in a happy mood, I guess. Must mean that the depression meds are working." I smiled and stood on my toes to kiss him.

*Three weeks later*

I woke up laying against Robin's toned chest. He was till quite asleep. I laid there for a few minutes just listening to his heartbeat. I smiled and closed my eyes to try and fall back asleep and all of a sudden it happened. I was going to throw up. I quickly got up off the bed and noticed I was naked. Clearly from last nights events with my boyfriend. I clutched my stomach and ran to the bathroom, barely making it to the bowl before I puked. I was crouched on the ground for a few moments until I felt a gentle touch on my back. It was Robin.

"Shh, it's okay. Let it all out." He said softly as I finished. I sat back up and leaned against his legs. I immediately though of what could be wrong. Pregnant. That word rang around in my head. Sure, Robin and I were quite active recently, but we used protection... I think.

"Must just be a stomach bug." He stated, still rubbing my back. I nodded trying to keep my mind off of it. "Yeah.. must be." I wiped my mouth off and walked out of the bathroom and put on some clothes. 

"Hey babe, I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?" I asked. He shook his head. "Nope. I'll see you soon though." I smiled and walked out of the room and walked out to my car. I was allowed to leave now. I got in the car and pulled out my phone. I was calling the only person that mattered. Emma.

Three rings until she picked up groggily. "Hey.. What's up Gina?" She asked. 

"Are you alone?" I responded. "No, I'm with Killian.. We just woke up." She stated. 

"Well.. uh get alone. I need to talk to you." I said sharply. I heard her sigh and get out of the room and close the door behind her. "Okay." She said.

"I think I'm pregnant..." I said softly.

"WHAT?" She said loudly. "I know, I know. I'm going to get a test at Walmart right now." I said trying to calm her down. 

"I'm coming with. See you there in 5." She said before handing up.

I started driving. I kept thinking about how young I was. There was no way I was pregnant already. Not that it would matter though. I am staying in the hospital for the rest of my high school life. 

I got to the store and ran straight for the pregnancy tests. I grabbed one and took it to the check out. "Good luck!" stated the check out woman. She looked about my age. I just nodded and went into the bathroom. I took the test and stood by the sink waiting for it. I saw Emma walk in and I walked over to the wall and leaned against it.

"I can't. I can't look at it." I covered my face with my hands. I was crying, I couldn't be a mom yet. I'm still a kid.

"Gina.." Emma said softly. "No Em, I'm not going t-..." I stated before she cut me off. 

"Regina! It's negative." she said and handed me the test. I took a relieved sigh. "Thank fucking god." I threw the test away. 

"Holy shit that was intense." Em said with a giggle. "Yeah, no kidding." I responded. We both laughed in the bathroom for awhile. 

Soon we walked out together and got a few items of food, due to me telling Robin I was going to the store.
