My One and Only

Chapter XXI

It's been almost a month since Mikey and I have talked. I refused to talk to him after the argument but he also hasn't made any efforts to talk to me. I haven't been feeling like myself lately and Charlie and Daytona have noticed. Today they were making me pay the doctor a visit to see what was up.

I was about to get into the shower when I looked in the mirror. I noticed how much weight I've gained over the course of  the past two weeks. I sighed getting into the shower. 

The  hot water beating on my back brought a soothing sensation to my skin. Shortly after washing up I hopped out to get dressed. I walked over to my closet grabbing a random sweatshirt and a pair of leggings.

I looked over at my phone realizing I was about to be late. So in a rushing manner I slid on my shoes, grabbed my phone and keys, went downstairs and out to my car.

After a short 10 minute drive I arrived at my doctors office. I grabbed all the stuff I might need and walked in.

"First Name?" asked the lady at the front desk.

"Aryana" I responded.

"The doctor will be with you shortly have a seat" she told me. I nodded and went over to sit in the waiting area.

I instantly grew bored so I decided to pick up a magazine. I picked up one in particular which was a baby catalog. I liked kids but I could never imagine having one.

"Aryana?" I heard someone say. I looked up seeing it was my doctor.

"Hi how are you?" I asked as I stood up.

"Good, if you could just follow me" he said shaking my hand.

We then went back to a little room where I sat on the examination table.

"So what seems to be the issue?" he said closing the door.

'Well my friends are getting worried that there is something up with me" I said.

"What do you mean by that?" 

"They think I'm depressed" I responded.

"Hmmm well is there anything unusual or major changes in the past two weeks" he asked grabbing a clipboard.

"Well I've gained a bit of weight lately and I've noticed I have been eating alot more and I've felt really anxious and down lately" I said as he scribbled something down.

"Is there anything else I should know?" he asked.

"I don't think so" I tried to think of anything else.

"Okay well we will run a series of test to find out what we're looking at here and if you could change into this gown the nurse will be in shortly" he said before handing me a hospital gown and walking out.

Great I thought to myself. I honestly thought this would be a quick trip in and out but I was wrong. 

About 5 minutes after changing the nurse came in with an IV machine. She sat down next to me and tied something around my arm to allow the blood to build up. She then stuck the IV into my arm to draw a bit of my blood.

Once she was done she gave me a cup of orange juice to sip on as I waited for the doctor to come back in.

Maybe 20 minutes later he came back with a clipboard in hand.

"So can I go home now?" I asked.

He looked at me uneasy "Two things, one, from your blood tests we can unfortunately confirm you are mildly depressed"

"Wow I guess I was wrong" I said kinda laughing.

"We also found that you are actually pregnant and it was a good thing that we didn't run an x-ray because it could typically harm the baby" I froze as soon as I heard him say the word pregnant.

My heart dropped causing my throat to hitch.

"We will go over how we you can cope with your illness and a baby in the next doctors visit" he said getting up.

"W-wait h-how far along is the baby anyways?" I asked him.

"From our knowledge about 3-4 weeks" he said.

I remembered it perfectly.

Mikey and I had sex almost a month ago and I don't remember us using protection.

I began to hear my heartbeat in my ears, this could not be happening I'm only 18 years old I can not be pregnant.

"If that is all I will see you in about a month or so" he said opening the door.

"N-no thank you" he then left.

I was still in shock because I had no idea on what to do.

Once I changed back into my clothes I went back out to the front desk to sign out then leave.

As soon as I made it back to my car and shut the door I completely lost it again.

How was I going to care for a baby while diagnosed with depression. Better yet how was I going to tell Mikey. That out of all things scared me the most.

I didn't even bother to stop crying I just wanted to get home. 

I soon made it home and once I could finally stop balling my eyes out I grabbed all of my things and made my way into the house. 

I then noticed Charlie and Daytona on the couch watching a movie laughing together.

They turned around as soon as I walked through the door "Hey how'd it go?" Daytona asked.

I stood silent.

"Wait have you been crying?" asked Daytona as they both got up.

"Aryana? what's wrong?" Charlie asked.

"If you're depressed we will help you through it Aryana don't worry" he said as they walked over to me.

"No it's just that um.....I'm...pregnant" I said falling to my knees.

They immediately rushed over to me trying to comfort me.

Instead of me just being a mess I was now a pregnant dejected lonely and scared mess.
