The girl with the secret

September 2

I don't really remember much after my mom came home. My mom never came in to see me. rosali and I fell asleep after Grace came into the room at like 11:00....that's early for me but I was absolutely exhausted. I think it was either the pregnancy or the stress of it.

Its about 11:00 in the morning when we finally get up.

"Aly I'm taking you to a clinic today" Rose says

"how?"

"Just get dressed!"

I can't, what if someone sees me?"

"I'll be with you, they won't know which one of us it is"

"Ok, but what are we telling my mom?"

"I don't know...we leave all the time! She never really cares!

"I know but don't you think I'm in enough trouble as is to be lying to her?"

"We don't even know how far along you really are or for fact you are pregnant"

The room went silent as I got dressed in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and I couldn't help but stare at my stomach. Soon, very soon my stomach would expand to fit a small child into my abdomen! It just has not hit me yet....but even if I don't believe myself...I was going to be aq mother...A REAL MOMMY! I felt a tear stream down my face...I can't do this...I have to though...I could abort...don't think like that Alyssa...I was overwhelmed. 

"Hurry up in there!!" Roseli shouted.

"I am!"

I finished pulling up my jeans and put my brand new shirt I had gotten from my Mom as an early birthday gift.

I thought to myself "This  isn't going to fit for mush longer"

I proceded to walk out of the bathroom. I grabbed my purse and Rosali grabbed hers. We both  walked out of my bedroom to and down the stairs. I grabbed my keys...

'Good morning Sweetheart" My Mom greeted me as I grabbed my Keys.

"Good morning mom"

"Why are you in such a hurry?'

"I'm not" I say

"Well, we sort of are since Max is playing baseball this season!" Rosali chimed in

"Oh My little AlyBug how am I ever going to convince you boys are gross" Mom joked

I just smiled and thought about how I was going to disapoint her.

"Well, Bye Mom"

"Bye Sweetie"

15 minutes later...

 We walked into this place called planned parenthood and I had to fill out the paperwork. I had never done it before..come to think of it...I had never even went to a docter's appointment without her.

The first question was easy. Name. Alyssa Brielle Roberts.

Date of birth. 9-17-96

height. 5'3".

Last period. July 30th

Unprotected sex: yes

Positive pregnancy test: yes

We waited in dead silence with a whole bunch of other girls...and some guys...but mostly girls.

"Alyssa Roberts?" The receptionist calls.

I get up.

"Do you want me to go with you?' Rosali asks

"No"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'd rather do this alone."

"aly you don't have to though"

I just looked at her and then turned  around and followed the lady to the weighing scale.

"Hi, My names Lauryn and I'm just gonna have you step on this scale, Ok sweetheart!" She said as happily as she possibly could to a possibly pregnant teenager.

I stepped on the scale and she moved stuff all around... 112 is what I saw. Then she just repeated that number to me. 

Ok, honey, just pee in this cup and go into room 7 when your done.

I peed in the cup and went into room 7.

I waited for like 15 minutes for lauryn to come in but instead a docter did.

"Hello, Alyssa, I'm Dr. Sarah Frances " she said shaking my hand.

"I have some news for you about your test"

"I'm Pregnant arn't I"

"Yes, You are pregnant."

I knew I was pregnant but somthing about having a doctor tell you makes it more real. 

"based on your last period your almost 4 week 6 days pregnant.

Wow is all I could say.

she told me I needed to take prenatal vitamins and vitamin supplaments and that I needed to go have a blood test. Damn...I hate needles.

I walked out into the waiting room to see Rosali run up to me. 

"Are you pregnant...When are you due...how far along are you?"

"Yes...May 6th...4 weeks 6 days." I said

"I have to have a blood test...so do you want to go back there and hold my hand?"

"I'm here for you  babe!" Rosali says

"OK, well follow me!"

3 hours later....

I had gotten my blood drawn just a couple hours ago. Rosali said I did so good that I deserved a treat and bought me a chocolate shake.

"I just stared out the window....Rosali set her hand on my stomach...

"Aly, there's a baby in there!"

"I just can't believe it" I smiled

"Aw your happy!"

"Well I was sad a about it...when really...I am happy about it..It may not be the perfect time to have a baby but this baby is a part of me. It should feel excepted..especially by its own mother."

"Your gonna be a great mommy!"

"I hope so"

"you will I promise!"

We start driving back to my house.

15 minutes later...

I walk in the door after I had taken Rose home and I see my entire family staring at me.

"Where have you been?" My Dad shouts

"I told Mom where I was!"

Oh really!"

"yeah"

"Max called here looking for you...he doesn't play baseball!" Dad yells

'I realize that now, I showed up at the field and he wasn't there!" I lie

"Ok, well next time call!" Dad says falling for my lie!

I just continued to my room thinking.

"If I'm going to hide this pregnancy i have to be more careful!"
