Torn

Chapter 6: A New Addition

The next few mornings, Thomas and Jacqueline got up and got dressed and ready before Dylan could barge into their room. When he did, he saw that they were all ready, whereas Thomas' parents were still asleep. The three of them snuck downstairs for breakfast when no one else was around. But one morning, as soon as they reached their room to brush their teeth, Jacqueline didn't feel well. She lay down on the bed and waited for Thomas to finish in the bathroom. When he had finished, she ran and made it just in time to the toilet before she threw up.

"You okay?"

"I'll be fine. I might want to skip out on the rides today, but you should go with Dylan. It's okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It's probably just something I ate for breakfast that doesn't agree with me. Don't worry."

"Okay. I'll see you later. Want me to pick something up for you?"

"No. It's okay."

Jacqueline faked a smile as she spoke. Thomas kissed her on the forehead before he left.

After about 20 minutes, Jacqueline made her way downstairs to the shop and bought herself something. She had to hide it from everyone because she was afraid that people would judge her. After she got back upstairs, she ran to her room and into the bathroom. She had to throw up again. Jacqueline was worried about how this thing she bought might come out. She used it before Thomas got back from all the rides. After she went to the bathroom, she waited about 15 minutes before checking the early pregnancy test. And it came out positive, saying that she had been pregnant for about 2 to 3 days. Jacqueline gasped and couldn't believe it. She just passed it off as wrong and didn't tell Thomas anything.

When Thomas got back to the hotel at 3:00, Jacqueline was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard with the covers covering up until her waist. The door unlocked and her eyes shot up from the words on her book, slowly closing it and putting it aside.

"Hey beautiful." he said as he planted a kiss on her lips, sitting down at the edge of the bed. "Sorry I left you alone, feel really bad. Have you eaten lunch yet?"

Jacqueline bowed her head and said it in nothing more than a whisper, "No."

Thomas raised his hand up to her cheek and started caressing it. Jacqueline melted into his touch as she felt his breath against her face. He crawled from the edge of the bed closer to Jacqueline as she leaned closer to kiss him.

Moments after they pull apart, Thomas walks over to the kitchenette they have in the hotel to make Jacqueline a cup of hot chocolate when he stops abruptly and faces Jacqueline.

"J?"

"Yeah?"

"What's this?"

Jacqueline froze in all her actions when she saw what he was holding up.
