Pregnant By A Gangster

Ch.7 Positive

CHANELLE'S POV.

Stella looked shocked at my request for a pregnancy test. "oh, ah- I, are you sure?" she asks. I nod. "yes, as soon as possible" I tell her. "oh, okay, okay you stay here and I'll run to the store and get you one don't worry" she says as she gets up and grabs her purse.

She leaves the house and I sit at the table horribly scared and terrified. My heart is pounding in my chest I can hear it in my ears. The fact that me and Jovanny, didn't use a condom, never even crossed my mind until now. How can I be so stupid to over look that??! I put my elbows on the table and put my face in my hands.

What is Jovanny gonna think? My parents?? My brothers?? I have no idea. Jovanny and I weren't even together when we had sex. And now we've only been together for a month! No one in my family even knows me and Jovanny are together. I'm 17 I can't be a mom! There's just so many things that make this the worst situation ever.

Before I knew it Stella came back from the store. "I got you 4 so go take all of them Chanelle go!" she says as she hands me the bag. I run upstairs and into my bathroom. I take all 4 tests and wait anxiously. You have to wait 5 minutes. But those five minutes, man do they feel like 5 hours.

I pace anxiously in my room, biting my nails, wandering the outcome. I want all 4 of them to be negative, but part of me just has a feeling, I won't get the results I want. The timer on my phone has 15 seconds left. I take deep breathes to try and mentally prepare myself.

But, I don't think anything, could've prepared me for what I saw on those tests. Positive. All 4 pregnancy tests, are positive. I instantly get light headed and grab onto the towel rack so I won't fall or faint. I cover my mouth with my hand. "oh my god" I say to myself. That's when all the tears come out.

I cry for about 5 minutes. I splash water on my face then go downstairs to tell Stella the news. I walk slow then go down the stairs.  I go into the kitchen and see Stella cleaning up the dinner. "Stell" I say and she turns around. "they were all positive" I say sorrowly.

She puts her hand over her heart. "oh my god Chanelle" She says as she comes up to me and hugs me. "what am I gonna do??" I say to her as a tear rolls down my cheek. "you're gonna get through this you, you're gonna get through this" she says as she rubs my arm.

"but my parents are going to be pissed my brothers are going to kill me-" I start but she cuts me off. "oh wait Chanelle, whose the father??" she asks curiously. I pause and look down. "um, Jovanny Graziano" I tell her. I look up to see her expression and she raises her eyebrows with shock.

"you're together?" she asks. "well, yeah kind of I mean, I haven't talked to him cause he's on business and, and it was just that one time we, had sex" I tell her. "Chanelle it only takes one time" she says. I nod. "you need to tell him" she says.

"I know" I say then just walk away and go upstairs. I don't know if I should call Jovanny or not. What if he doesn't even answer? I don't even know when he's suppose to come back. But I think it's soon. I grab my phone and just do it.

It rings for a while; and right when I'm about to hang up he actually answers. "hello?" he answers. I instantly freeze. "uh hi" I push out. "hey what's up what are you doing?" he asks. "nothing um, do you know when you're coming back?" I ask him.

"oh yeah tomorrow were gonna leave tonight and get back to Nevada in the morning" he tells me. "oh okay I wanted to talk to you about some-" I start but he cuts me off. "oh wait Chanelle hold on really quick" he says. I sigh and wait. I hear him talk to someone. A man with a deep intimidating voice.

"hey I gotta go to this stupid meeting before we leave, I'll see you tomorrow Chanelle" he says sweetly. I make a half ass smile. "okay" I say then hang up. This is gonna be one sleepless night.
