I woke up in a hospital bed. I looked to my side and saw Sage and Peyton on the couch sleeping. Gray was on the floor with a pillow and blanket.
"Grayson?" I whispered. He turned his head toward me and got up. He tripped on his foot and stumbled forward but caught the desk next to my bed. I laughed.
"I'm so glad you're okay." He said kissing my hand.
"How are the girls?"
"They're okay. I don't think that I'll take them to school today. They've had it rough." He looked over his shoulder to look at the girls.
"Do you have my phone?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I do." He went over to a chair and grabbed a bag. He shuffled through it and took out my phone. He handed it to me and I turned it on to see what time it was. 8:27.
"So where's the doctor?" I asked.
"Ill go get him." Gray got up and went out of the room. I looked back at the girls and they were still knocked out.
Gray came back into the room with the doctor in a couple of minutes.
"Bree. My name is Dr. Strater. How are you feeling?" Dr. Strater introduced himself.
"Im okay. But I still feel a little nauseous." I told him.
"Well that is perfectly normal for a pregnant woman. Especially since in the beginning stages---"
"Wait what?" I stopped him and looked over at Gray who was just staring at the floor with his arms crossed.
"You do know that you are pregnant. Right?" The doctor looked at me and then to Gray who was now covering his mouth.
"Um. Can you just excuse us for a moment?" I asked.
"Of course. I'll be back a little later to change your fluid bag." Dr. Strater said. Then he left the room.
"Grayson?" I stared at him. He just looked at me as surprised as I was.
"Grayson!" I yelled. I heard some whining and looked at the couch. The girls were awake. Great.
Grayson turned around and told them to sleep for a little longer. They easily went back to sleep. He exhaled loudly and turned back to me and ran his hands through his hair.
"You didn't use protection?"
"No." He was pacing back and forth with his hands on the back of his neck.
"Can you tell me why?" I tried to say a little bit calmer.
"Because I was just enjoying the moment. Okay? I'm sorry." He rubbed his eyes.
I didn't know what else to say. I was pregnant. How was I supposed to act? I didn't know if I should've been happy or sad.
"So what do you want to do?" Gray asked me. I walked over to the bed and sat at my side on the bed.
"I don't know."
"I don't want to pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. It's your decision and I'll support you either way. I love you." He stroked my cheek and grinned.
"I'll have to think about it." I told him.
"And that is perfectly fine. Just tell me what you wanna do when you decide."
"Okay."
He gave me a small kiss on the forehead and we just sat there in silence for a while.
The girls fully woke up around 9 and they were running around the hospital room.
"Grayson! I'm hungry!" Peyton exclaimed.
"Me too!" Sage agreed. I laughed as Gray tried to calm them down.
"Okay. I'll go get some food from the cafe. Just be quiet and stay still." Gray sat them down on the couch and turned on the tv. The first channel that popped up was the news channel. There was a news reporter in front of their house. Gray immediately changed the channel to a kids show.
"Um... Just... Just watch some... Some tv. I'll be.. Be back with... The food." He stuttered. I felt bad for him. It was the way I felt when my mom died. Gray left the room rubbing his face.
I turned on my phone and went into Instagram. I had a lot of DM's from people around the school. All of them asking about how I was doing and if I was gonna be back soon.
Paige had started a group message with Venus, Jessie, Kyle, Marsh, Sammi, and Cali. All of them were asking where I've been and how I was doing.
I responded to them that I had been really sick and was in the hospital. Marsh, Jessie, and Cali responded with a "hope you feel better". Venus, Kyle, Sammi didn't send anything back. They all asked me for the address of the hospital and I gave it to them.
I started a separate message with Paige.

I need to tell you something but you have to cross your heart that you won't tell anyone. ANYONE! -me

Of course! What happened? -Paige

I hesitated to type but I took deep breaths and moved my thumbs.

I'm pregnant.

It took a couple of minutes for her to respond.

Sorry. I had to hide my phone from Mr. F. But OH MY GOD! Congratulations! Wait with who?
-Paige

Grayson. -me

I waited for her response but it didn't come until about 5 minutes later.

(323)726-9264
Give me a call. I'm in the girls bathroom freaking out.

I dialed the number and she answered in the first ring.
"Oh my god! I knew you two had a connection when you first came to the school!" She was so happy.
"Thanks for being so supportive." I laughed. She squealed and we just talked for a minute.
"Okay. I need to get back to class. I'll talk to you after lunch. I'll visit you tonight!"
"Okay. Just don't tell anybody!"
"I know. I wouldn't want people knowing I was pregnant if I was. Bye!"
"Bye." I hung up and Gray entered the room with a tray of cereal cups, juice, and plastic spoons. He set them down on the table and told the girls to choose which ones they wanted. Sage chose the Fruit Loops and Peyton chose the Frosted Flakes. They opened the cover and grabbed a spoon.
"No milk?" Sage asked Gray.
"Sorry Sage. I didn't find the milk in cafe." He said to her.
She shrugged her shoulders and went to eating. He gave them each a juice box and put the straw in for them.
He turned his attention to me and asked which one I wanted. I asked him to get me the Honey Nut Cheerios and he got it for me. He was about to give me a spoon but I said I didn't need it. He put the spoon back on the tray and got up and went out of the room. He came back with a bag of chips. Wow Gray. Wow.
"Hey! Can we have some?" Peyton asked. Sage nodded her head.
"Mm. Later." He said and ate a chip.
"Fine." The girls went back to eating their own cereal.
"If I don't finish it by then." He said under his breath.
"What?" Sage asked with a mouthful of cereal.
"Nothing." Gray said quickly.
I giggled and so did Gray. We spent the rest of the morning eating and watching cartoons.
