Hard Choices

2 months later........

"Lauren are you okay in there?" asked Rose knocking on the door to Lauren's bathroom worried.

She had come to wake Lauren for her first day of school, and heard her throwing up in the rest room. That was three times this week now.

"Rose..." called Lauren crying.

Rose entered the bathroom, scared at what she would find, and saw Lauren in her sweats and tank, hugging the toilet shaking lightly.

"Oh honey..." Rose cooed, getting on her knees, and rubbing her back gently in a soothing manner.

Lauren was crying, almost hyperventilating. Rose was trying not to panic, begging Lauren to calm down.

The next words that came out of Lauren's mouth made Rose freeze and bile of her own to appear in her throat.

"I'm late Rose. I think I'm pregnant. I think he fucking got me pregnant." Cried Lauren, hysterically.

Roses mind raced, and she tried to reassure herself that they gave Lauren the Plan B pill. She then realized that her parents were religious nuts and decided to do some fact checking first.

"Calm down sweetheart. I need to ask you a question. Can you do that for me?" Rose asked calmly.

Lauren nodded and started calm down, hiccupping.

"The first three days that this happened, did the doctors give you anything called Plan B?" she asked cautiously.

Lauren looked at her confused and asked,"What's that?"

Rose closed her eyes and whispered,"Fuck."

She prayed for the flu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn't the flu.

"What the fuck do you mean she's pregnant?! Why would you idiots not tell us that they had signed that!? We could have talked to Lauren and made them sign sooner than a fucking week!" screamed Demi into the phone as she paced the living room.

Lauren was in curled into Rose's arms as she cried quietly, Normani and Dinah next her looking horrified.

"We'll now my daughter now has to live with the fucking consequences of your stupidity for the rest of her life. Thank you very fucking much!" Yelled Demi, hanging up and throwing the phone across the room.

Demi was so angry, that she was shaking. She looked at her wife and saw Lauren crying against her, and her face softened.

Walking over, she knelt in front of her daughter and shushed her, calming her down instantly. Demi and Lauren had formed a bond in the short time she had lived with them, and it was an amazing sight to see.

"Look at me honey." Demi whispered softly.

Lauren looked up, her eyes red, tears leaking from her eyes, giving her new mother a pleading look. Begging for Demi to make it all go away.

"We are going to make an appointment and go from there. Okay? You don't have to decide anything now. I can't tell you what the test will say, but I can tell you this. Negative or positive, we will love you, and support you regardless. Do you hear me? No matter what, you are ours. Always." Demi whispered firmly.

Lauren's eye's stared into Demi's for a moment, before she launched herself in Demi's arms, holding tightly. Wishing the Fate would leave her alone and just let her be happy.
