Girl On Top

Chapter 26- Impatient

- new chapters soon -

I was pleased to see the silver hair on the doctor. He had a face like some guy you'd ask for directions in the street, non-threatening I supposed. In a suit he could be a news anchor, clean cut but with that loveable smile that was only ever removed from his features when he needed to be serious.

His movements were unhurried, choreographed and deliberate. He courted the opinions of the nurses and listened to what they had to say. His voice was as deep and he spoke without the jargon I feared. For the most part I understood what was going on and periodically he would stop to address me directly, to explain the tests. It was oddly comforting to be treated so much like a child, yet all along I felt in control, like all I had to do was whisper "stop" or "help" and they would.

After doing a few tests he left the room to examine them and get the dreaded results if I was actually pregnant or not.

"Would you chill out? You look like you're going to pass out." Jennifer shook her head, I exhaled loudly which earned me a glare from her.

Sarah pointed to a poster of a cat on the wall, "hang in there, do you get it? Because the cat is holding onto the branch." She giggled, I rolled my eyes.

We'd been in the doctors room for about ten minutes now and still no sign of the guys. Maybe they weren't coming after all.

I was getting impatient now, they knew what time and where this appointment was. Because I made Sarah text them...there was no reply but they still received the message.

Maybe they were frightened, I knew I was. The thought of having a baby at eighteen would scare anyone.

At the end of the day I was still a teenager since I was only eighteen.

Sarah pushed herself off the green chair and stood facing me, "they'll come you just have to believe."

"I do believe in fairies I do I do," Jennifer chimed from behind me, I spun around and watched her in a heap of laughter.

"Not. Funny." I gritted my teeth anxiously, she pursed her lips and slung an arm around my shoulder.

She sighed, "I know I'm sorry, you're nervous I understand. At the end of the day if the three idiots don't come Sarah and I are still here for you." Her grip tightened around my shoulder, I held her hand.

"Thank you," I smiled softly. The handle of the door began to shake, at first gently then after a few more unsuccessful tires the shakes became aggressive.

"Son of a-" Sebastian stumbled into the room with different colour balloons in his hand. Slowly, his eyes moved upwards until he met ours. He grinned sheepishly and patted himself down.

I smiled widely, "Sebastian you came!" I flew into his arms and he hugged me back, he smelled so good like a dark and husky cologne.

"Of course can't miss my potential baby mamas doctor appointments," he nodded at the girls and handed me the balloons.

I politely grabbed them and thanked him, "I wasn't sure what colour to get so I got every colour." He laughed before sitting down, I giggled. I'd missed him so much. In fact I'd missed them all...but the other guys hadn't come.

"Where are Phoenix and Enzo?" I frowned and stared at the door hoping if I looked for long enough they would appear.

Sebastian cleared his throat, "they'll come don't worry." He nibbled at his nail before quickly changing the subject, "so how long have you guys been here for?" Sweat glistened on his brow.

"About ten minutes in the waiting room and ten minutes in this room," Jennifer informed and Sarah nodded in agreement.

He nodded and twirled his thumbs, "great poster right?" Sebastian pointed to the same cat poster Sarah had previously, they both laughed.

"That's what I said!" Sarah giggled, her eyes wide with excitement. Sebastian blushed and turned his attention to the empty door.

I watched him closely, trying to read him like a book. Cold sweat glistened on his furrowed brow. With hands clasped tightly in front of his stomach he constantly fiddled with his knuckles, weaving his fingers in and out of each other.

He doesn't think they'll come.

Sighing, I slumped down onto the desk and watched the door. Maybe they had meant what they'd said in the apartment, that I was a slut that just wanted attention. Maybe that was the last time I'd ever see them. My hands trembled as I continued to stare at the door.

I do believe in fairies I do I do.

A bouquet of pink roses poked through the door way, my eyes widened. Could it be? Phoenix popped out from behind the roses with a smile. It could be!

My arms swung as I went in for a hug. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me close, gently rubbing my arm. Despite the heaviness in my stomach, it fluttered at the feeling of my body pressed against his. I sunk into the warmth of his side, appreciative of the simple gesture. His touch made the room warmer somehow, my future within its walls seeming a little less bleak.

Phoenix pulled away, "I'm so sorry for what I said Andy." His face contorted as he passed the flowers towards me.

I smiled weakly and accepted the flowers, "don't worry about it." Leaning forwards, I took a long sniff of the roses and grin as the sweet smell floods into my nostrils.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he whispered into Phoenix ear. What was he saying? Phoenix crossed his arms and nodded towards the hallway, Sebastian shook his head and sat back down. Well...that wasn't weird at all.

Hesitantly, Sarah moved closer towards Phoenix. "Where's Enzo?" She avoided eye contact, probably because she's embarrassed her cousin doesn't take responsibility over anything.

"Don't start the party with out me!" Enzo raised one eyebrow with a smirk as he slid into the room, a teddy bear in his hand.

Sarah rolled her eyes, "where the hell have you been?" She elbowed him in the ribs as her mouth twisted.

Enzo held onto his side and glared at her, "I was getting that sexy nurses number." He glanced over his shoulder and winked at the young blonde nurse.

Simultaneously we sighed, but I was thankful they all came. They cared. All of them even Enzo! Deep down they cared and wanted to be apart of my (maybe) baby's life.

Enzo lifted his head and swaggered towards me, "one teddy bear for you princess." A small brown bear with a stitched smile lay in his hand.

"Thank you," I giggled and hugged the teddy close to my chest. Enzo stood tall and grinned watching me smile at his gift.

"Listen Andy I'm sorry for calling you a whore," he began. "That was totally not cool and I have no right to say that to you, since I'm the biggest man whore ever." Enzo chuckled, nudging my shoulder playfully.

Jennifer clapped, "yay finally one big dysfunctional family again!" She cheered and waggled her eyebrows.

Phoenix rolled his eyes and gripped onto the chair, "so are you definitely pregnant or haven't you got the results back?"

"The doctor should be coming back with the results any minute," Sarah informed just as the doctor trudged through holing a clipboard.

Speak of the devil...
