Making a Difference (sequel to PDA)

Ch.22: Making an Adjustment

~Albany~ 

It was a month after Chris was at home. Chris was so weak that he could barely get out of bed. Levi was totally into his English teacher and Lilith was doing her own thing. Grace family seemed to be getting back to how they were supposed to be. Justin was still in the picture but I will never call him Uncle ever. He isn't part of the family and I think Justin knows that.  Dad was in his room just sitting down rocking the baby back and forth. My little brother Sawyer. He looked so much like both of my parents. I was in my room doing my hair trying to cover my face. I got up from my chair and stood in front of the full length mirror. I touched my stomach and I closed my eyes remembering the night that Andy and I had sex. I knew I regretted it so badly and my period had yet to arrive and I felt myself panicky because I didn't want to have Andy's kid. I couldn't and nor did I want to. I was avoiding Andy and I heard the doorbell rang and I just sat down on my bed not making any motion to get up from it. I stared at the pregnancy box unopened wondering if I should take this test or not. I heard my bedroom door opened and I hid the pregnancy test away. It was Andy Ashby and I stood in front of him. We both not saying anything and Andy rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry Albany" Andy told me and he seemed so sincere. We sat down on my bed when Andy gave me something in his hand. I looked down at the pamphlet, it was a therapist card. "I'm seeing a therapist" Andy told me and I just stared at him. He held his hands on mine. I stared at his eyes. "I talk about you a lot and how I'm hurting you all the time and you don't deserve it Albany. I love you and I know you are confused as what with me" Andy told me and I sighed. "I love you too Andy. I always have but you scare me sometimes" I confessed to Andy and got up from my bed and let go of his hands and I just stood at the door. "Albany, we need a break don't we" Andy asked me from across from me and I just nodded my head. "Yeah I think so" I told Andy and Andy sighed while rubbing the back of his neck and he walked up to me pushing my hair away from my face. He kissed my cheek before walking down the stairs and I watched Andy walk out of the house. I sighed before going back into my room. I locked my bedroom door before going into my own bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror before taking out my pregnancy test. I sat down on the toilet watching the timer count down and I heard the beeping sound and I walked slowly towards the test. It was a positive and I gripped the bathroom sink while shaking my head. I couldn't have this kid at all. I sat down on the toilet once more feeling the tears stream down my face. I put my head in my hands sobbing quietly. I walked out of the bathroom and I dialed a phone number and I called the place. "Um, hey I was wondering if I could set up an appointment" I asked the receptionist and I set up the appointment for tomorrow. Lucky for me tomorrow was Saturday and dad was going out of town.  I sighed and walked downstairs seeing dad was cooking some pasta for dinner. "Are you okay honey, I heard you throwing up" Dad asked me and I nodded at him. "I'm fine, my stomach was just hurting" I told him and Dad dished out the food and I started eating while rubbing Sawyer's stomach. He let out a bunch of giggles that was beyond adorable to me. I smiled at little Sawyer while Dad began feeding him. It was soon to begin nine pm and I walked back to my room. I saw I was getting skyped and I saw it was Lilith. I answered it. 
"Albany, what's wrong" Lilith asked me right away. 
"Nothing" I told her while I fumbled with my hands. 
"Albany" Lilith stated to me and I sighed while holding up the pregnancy stick to Lilith and Lilith eyes went wide. 
"Tomorrow, I'm going to see a doctor actually" I informed her and Lilith sighed. 
"What are you going to do if you are pregnant" Lilith asked me and I shrugged my shoulders. 
"I guess we'll wait and see if I am first" I told Lilith and she just nodded her head at me. 
"Do you want me to come, I can tell Susan I need to spend time with my family" Lilith offered to me and I shook my head at her. 
"Don't go hang out with your girlfriend" I winked at Lilith and Lilith rolled her eyes at me. We hung up the phone quickly. 

The next day, I grabbed a set of my keys, dad was already gone with Sawyer to the pediatrics doctor. I followed suit to the doctors. They called my name and i sat there not knowing what to do. The doctor was going over my options that I had, abortion, adoption or keep it. I just sat there not knowing what I wanted. "Take some time to think about this, you are in the early stage of your pregnancy" The doctor advised me and I just sat in the car. I drove to Andy's house, I knocked on the door and Andy answered the door. "Albany" Andy greeted me and I handed my scan to him and Andy eyes went wide. We sat down on his bed, we both not saying. "What are we going to do" Andy asked me and I shrugged my shoulders. "Have no clue" I said to him and that was honestly the truth.
