The Not So Desolate Life of Skylar Brown (Slow Updates)

Me? Pregnant

Chapter 15

"What? I can't be pregnant." I tell Sarah. My mind is racing.

"Skylar, I could be wrong. Have you taken any tests?" Sarah asks me trying to calm me down.

"No, this is the first time I've thought of myself being, that." I say looking at my hands folded tightly in my lap.

"Here, we can go pick up some tests now of you'd like." Sarah offers.

"Sure." I say softly

Sarah and I walk out of her office and I see Zeke waiting for me.

Oh no, what should I tell him?

"Hello Zeke!" Sarah says happily. I turn and look at her, she has a bright smile and her eyes are shining.

"Hey," Zeke says glancing at Sarah. "What's up?" His eyes look concerned.

"Uh well you see-" I start but Sarah cuts me off.

"I needed someone to help me with some shopping at the store, so I asked Skylar" Sarah says with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Are we still doing that thing tonight?" Zeke asks me, looking from Sarah to me.

"Yeah, definitely!" I say with a half smile. By "thing" he means go on a date,we haven't been on a proper date since before Colorado and he wants to "make up" for not having a long enough trip. I've tried to convince him it's fine but he won't listen.

"Okay."

"Okay." I say with a sigh.

"See you later?" Zeke asks me.

"Yep." I say leaning up to kiss his cheek. "Bye love you!" I say pulling Sarah to walk with me.

"Bye Sky, love you too." He says watching us walk away.

"Oh my gosh, I almost died back there." I say sighing. Sarah just chuckles. She starts her car and we drive away from the hell I call school.

Only a few more momths, I think to myself.

When we get to the store and get three tests.

"Okay, just do your thing and come out and show them to me." Sarah instructs me. I read part of the instructions but just looked up on my phone what to do.

After I do what's needed, I take the tests to Sarah.

"Skylar?" Sarah says slowly.

"Y-yeah?" I ask

"Sweetie, the tests are possitive. You're pregnant." Sarah says with a half smile.

"Wonderful." I say closing my eyes bringing my fingers up to my temples.

"Hey at least you know who the father is." Sarah says trying to help. "Most girls in your situation don't."

"Yeah, how on earth do I tell Zeke?" I ask, my throat feels like it's closing up.

"Tell him at your thing tonight." Sarah says with a smile. "Are you going to tell your father?" Sarah asks me cautiously.

"I don't know. He probably wouldn't listen and say 'that's nice' like always." I say holding my stomach. It feels weird to know there is or will be (I'm not sure how it works) another human inside of me.

"Well, I'll take you home. Maybe you can talk to your dad." Sarah recommended.

"Yeah, sure I guess" I say standing up with a sigh.
