Pregnant With The Bad Boys Kid

Chapter 9.

I stare at the positive pregnancy tests lying on my counter, mocking my very existence. This can't be right. Maybe it's false? Yeah. These tests are unreliable, and can sometimes give a false positive. right?

"Allison, are you okay? Should I call mom? What do I do?" She shakes me by my shoulders.

"There are false positives, right? Right?"

"You took three different tests, all positive. There can't possibly be a false alarm. The only way to find out is to go to the hospital and get you tested there."

I weigh the odds of going into the hospital and asking for a test. My mom is the baby specialist there, so if I was tested 100% positive, I would be sent to her office, and have to explain everything. That's a huge problem. But, better safe than sorry.

"We're going to see mommy dearest," I say, grabbing my keys from the dresser.

"But that's suicide!"

"Don't care; let's go."

"If you could sit right here, we will be right back with the results." Nurse Harper led me and Avery  to a room.

"OK, thank you." We said at the same time.

"So, if it is positive, how're we going to tell Mom?" Avery spun on the chair.

"I just tell her I thought it was safe sex."

"Good plan. Which she knows you're sexually active, right?"

"Yeah, Avery, she's my mom. I tell her these things. Plus, she works with my gynecologist."

"Well, I just hope she doesn't completely vaporize you with her legendary 'look'," Avery manages to achieve the look mom always gives us.

"I pray she doesn't do that shit, either. Goodness."

We hear rustling behind the door, and then nurse Harper walks into my room. She looks like she's about to tell a spoiled kid they didn't get the iPhone 5c for Christmas.

"Ms. Vivian, please follow me. I need to take you to your mother's office," She holds the door open and motions us outside.

I look over at Avery, and I can tell she's as worried as I am. I'm walking down Death Row.

***************

I'm sitting on a reclined chair coated in hard plastic, reading a poster about the importance of prenatal care, when the door swings open, and my shocked mother comes walking in. Avery and I exchange glances.

"Care to explain?!" My mother shrieks, sticking a piece of paper with the word "PREGNANT" written on it.

"Mom, it was an accident, I swear to God," I rush the words out of my mouth.

"This is not an 'accident' Allison. You do NOT have sex on 'accident'! When, where, why, how?!"

"Our house, two weeks ago while you and dad were at your friends', because I got caught in the moment, and because we were having sex! I didn't know he hadn't used a condom!" I retreated against the chair, hoping it would swallow me whole.

"How did you not know?!"

"Because, Mom, I don't check! OK?! I'm just as upset as you!"

I felt tears burning hot in my eyes, ready to boil over, and spill out. My cheeks were on fire. My head was pounding. My heart fighting to win the race against rage.

My mom looked at me and sighed. "Do you realize how this is going to screw up your reputation? Your athletics? Everything."

"You think I haven't thought about that? Seriously, mom."

She looked at me. Didn't say anything, just looked at me.

"Are you going to check on the baby or what?" I snapped.

She turned around an began messing with stuff. After she started up all of the machines, she ordered me to lift up my shirt, and put jelly stuff on me.

"We're going to look at the baby."

She put the sensor on my stomach and began rubbing around. Seconds later, we heart thudding noises.

"That's the baby's heartbeat. It's healthy."

she moved it around slower, and stopped abruptly when she saw a black spot.

"That's the baby. It should start really forming in two weeks."

I looked at the dark spot carefully.

"Can you print pictures?"

"Yes, I can. How many?"

"I say three,"

"FOUR!" Avery shouted.

"Now, Avery, no shouting in the hospital."

"Sorry, mom." She slumped back into the chair.

She printed out four pictures and handed them to me.

"I'll see you at home, and we'll discuss pregnancy requirements."

"Alright."

Now to tell Channing.
