One Wish

Chapter Sixteen: The Test

Robyn

My hands shook as I held the test in my hand. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before I looked at the results. When I finally opened my eyes my eyes widened and I felt like I was going to faint.

"What does it say?" Melissa asked. I swallowed hard before I answered her.

"I’m pregnant. This can’t be happening right now."

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"It has two lines Melissa. I’m pregnant." I said, holding the test up so she could see it.

"Everything is gonna be okay Robz." Melissa said, hugging me tightly. I wanted to believe her but I couldn’t. A million questions rushed through my head at once. How am I going to tell Chris? But worse, how am I going to tell him that I don’t want it? I don’t want to have a baby unless I was secure, not when me and Chris have only been dating for a month. I don’t want to slow his life down with a baby and I don’t want to slow mine down either.

"You need to tell Chris."

"I can’t do that."

"Why not? He’s gonna figure it out when you get big in a few months."

"Chris doesn’t want kids Melissa."

"He didn’t do much to prevent having a kid." I gave Melissa a look. She was right but she is not helping me at all right now.

"We’re both really busy right now. I’m gonna perform at the Grammy’s in a few months and I’m going on tour soon."

"The baby won’t be here for a while. You can still do that stuff."

"But I don’t want to be pregnant."

"You’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking are you?" Melissa saw right through me. She knew I was thinking about getting rid of the baby.

"It is an option."

"Are you serious Robyn?!?"

"I’m not ready for a baby right now."

"You can’t get an abortion. This baby didn’t ask to be here."

"Now isn’t the time for me to have a kid. I have too much going on right now. When I have kids I want to be stable."

"Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way."

"I don’t want to do this but I have to." Melissa shook her head and sighed.

"I can’t tell you what to do with your baby but I think you should talk to Chris before you do anything crazy."

"Why do I need to talk to him? This is my body and I can do whatever I want with it no matter what Chris says."

"That baby in your stomach is his too. If you’re gonna abort it you need to discuss it with him first."

"I’m not ready to talk to him."

"You’re gonna have to talk to him sooner or later."

"I will tell him. I just need a few days."

"You need to tell him now Robyn. That way you two can come up with a decision on what y’all should do." I didn’t want to but I want to get it over with.

"Okay. I’ll tell him when I get to the house."

"You better or I’ll come over there and tell him myself."

"I’ll tell him, I promise." Melissa hugged me before she said "Good luck." I left her apartment and started driving home. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around whats going on. Even though I saw the test with my own eyes, I still don’t believe I’m pregnant and now I have to tell Chris. I just wish a had more time.
