College mom-to-be

Chapter 6

When Adam and I get home I tell him I'd sleep on the couch so he can have my bed. He refuses to, he says he'd slept on rocks before and that it'd be a privilege to sleep on my couch. I have to laugh when he says that. I give him some pillows and blankets and then go to Katelynn's room. I walked in and she was watching Life as We Know It. She turns around and quietly says hey. That's weird she's never quiet I wonder what's wrong.

"What's the matter?" She waits about a minute before she starts talking.

"You know how I've been single for a while? I mean I'm with guys but I've never actually dated someone?" Okay where's she going with this? I just nod and let her continue.

"Well there's a reason for that...." She trails off. I motion my hands as in telling her to keep going.

"ikindahavealittlecrushonyourbrother." She mumbles.

"I'm sorry what?"

"I know I should've told you sooner but.." I cut her off "No really. I didn't understand a word of that. What'd you say?"

"Oh. Um. I kinda maybe sorta have a crush on Adam...." What?! They like each other? YAY! No wait not yay! I can't even tell either of them anything so I just have to watch them not flirt with each other cuz they don't know they like each other. Wow this is complicated. I'm gonna tell them. Together. So that doesn't happen. "I've always had a crush on him I was too embarrassed to tell you though. I didn't know when he was ever going to be back and I tried moving on but no guy compared to him. Notice how you haven't seen Mason around here?" I grab her arm without saying anything to her and drag her out of her room. When she realizes where I'm headed to she plants her feet in the floor. I may be tiny but she's coming with me whether she likes it or not. I pull harder and she's moving forward. When we get to the living room Adam sits up with a 'what the hell are you doing' face. I sit her on the couch next to him and I sit on the coffee table in front of them.

"Okay guys. I need to tell you both something" Their faces were priceless when I said that but neither of them could look at each other. "You both are really dumb okay. Kate, Adam has liked you since we were younger" Now Kate is looking at Adam but Adam is looking at me with wide eyes and cheeks red. "And Adam, Kates liked you since we were younger too." I tell him and they lock eyes with each other smiling. "I think you guys would be so cute so I'm gonna leave the room now and you guys can talk" I wink and then get up to go to my room. I lay down on my bed and fall asleep faster than I usually do.

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

I wake up Saturday morning to vomit coming up my throat. I run to the bathroom quickly and release. Great. I'm sick. When I'm through I look at the time and it's only 5 am. So I go back to bed and fall back asleep.

Hours later I wake up again and feel much better and I'm actually hungry. I guess it was just that gas station food last night. I hope Adam's alright then. I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen and don't see Adam on the couch and his blankets and pillows aren't there either. I bet he's in there with Katelynn. Oh gosh what have I done. I giggle at my thoughts and look in the cabinets. I get out some ingredients and start making pancakes, bubbled eggs, bacon, and toast. When I'm finished I set it all on the table and put out three plates. I open the door to Katelynn's room and there sleeping is Katelynn and Adam all cuddled up together. With clothes thank God. That would've been a bad sight for me. I pull my phone out of my pocket and take a picture because this is just to cute! I wake them up and realize both of them are exactly the same. Kate groans in annoyance and Adam does the same but cuddles up to Kate even more right after which I thought wasn't even possible because of how close they were.

I start shaking them again, finally they both wake up and I tell them to get their asses out of bed or they get no food from me and that gets both of them up..... literally. I'm telling you... Two peas in a pod!!! We go out to the kitchen and Adam gives me a giant hug.

"Thanks sis. I missed your cooking." he tells me. We all eat in silence besides Adam exaggeratingly moaning when he tastes the food.

"Alright since I cooked you guys clean up." I say and they both groan again. I get up and I go to the bathroom and see tampons spilled on the floor. Guess Kate's on her period, messy girl. Then I start thinking.

period...

period??

Period?!?!

PERIOD!!!

I run to my room and grab my calendar. I'm Late I was supposed to have my period 4 days ago. That's a big deal! I'm always on time. Sometimes early! Which is very annoying! But never late!

"Shit" I whisper to myself. I know Conner and I were drunk but I was really hoping we were safe. I need to find out for sure. I walk out of my room and see Kate wiping the table and Adam is washing the dishes. What a gent.

"Um, I'm going to the store I'll be back in a few minutes." I told them and they both nodded. I walk down to my car and on my way to the store I think about what happened at the party two weeks ago. I'm so stupid. How could I be so careless. I'm usually to careful! I pull into Drug Mart and walk through the sliding doors. I go up to the counter and ask the lady for a pregnancy test.

*15 minutes later*

Okay it's time to look........ I go to the sink where I had set down the test and flip the thing over with my eyes closed. I open one eye and see two lines. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. It's crazy how you life can turn in one blink of an eye. I slide down the door that connects to my bathroom and put my head into my knees and start to cry. I don't want this. Conner probably doesn't want this. Oh gosh, Adam's gonna kill Conner. After 5 minutes of me crying I get up and open the door. I walk down the hall to see if Kate and Adam are here and I see Adam sitting on the couch watching ridiculousness.

"Is Kate here?" I ask him.

He turns around, "Yeah she's in her.... what's wrong? What guys ass am I beating?!" He stands up getting overly protective as usual.

"Nobody. I just need a girl talk." Iie.

I walk down the hall again and open Kate's door. She's in her big bean bag chair on her laptop, probably on tumblr. She looks up and I get the same answer from her as I did Adam. "What's wrong?" I walk over to her bed and sit with my head down. I stay quiet for a while and then I whisper, "I'm Late." I look up to see her jaw dropping. Of course, she doesn't expect this from me, I don't even expect this from me.

"That's why I went to the store. I got a test and it came back positive."

"...........Who?"

"The only person I've ever been with is Conner. I don't know what I'm going to do Kate. This could ruin his life. He's already so busy and I don't want to interfere. He's only 21, he just became legal to drink! And what about me? I can't have a kid at 19!"

"What abo.." I cut her off before she finishes.

"No way! You know I don't believe in abortion. I also don't think I could do adoption because I would be heart broken to have to carry my little baby for 9 months and then just give her to some random couple that I dont even know. I guess I'm just going to have to figure it out on the way."

"I don't know what to say Linds. This is surprising!" She says trying to laugh it off. "When are you going to tell Conner. Shit. When are you going to tell Adam?"

"I don't know. Maybe I should right now. I mean he's just over there." I say pointing towards the living room.

"I'll go with you. Help him calm down once you tell him." I glare at her. "Sorry but you know how he is." Damn she's right. Alright. Let's get this over with.
