Falling back

Chapter 27

Nina's POV

    Oh my god.... it's positive. I back up into the wall behind me. How come Ian never told me this, does he not know, what the hell am I suppose to do? A million questions are running through my mind.

    I stand there holding it for god knows how long, a knock on the door brings me out of the train of thoughts. "Nina, sweetheart are you ok you've been in there for awhile."

   What should I do now? Maybe I just throw it away and try to forget about it, but I know I won't forget about it.

    "Yeah I'm fine give me a minute." I decide to confront him about this and hopefully he can explain this. Composing myself I take a deep breath and walk out of the bathroom to see Ian sitting on the edge of the bed.

    "Hey is everything ok?" He looks at me concerned then I throw the pregnancy stick on the bed next to him. "I don't know why don't you tell me? I found that hidden behind some stuff in the drawer." 

     "Wait that's not your's?" Is he kidding me right now? If he's trying to play dumb it's not funny. "No it's not mine, it's your ex-wife's but you probably already knew that. Were you ever going to tell me that she's pregnant or were you just going to play it out until she gives birth in jail."

    He doesn't answer me just stares at the stick with no emotions, five minutes pass of us just standing there then he decides to stand up and go into the bathroom to throw the stick away. What is going on why won't he just tell me?

    He turns towards me but still doesn't say anything he walks past me and goes downstairs. I can't believe him, he's just gonna make me guess what's going on. I decide to go change into leggings and a sweater before following him downstairs. After I'm done I go downstairs to find him on his phone looking at something.

   Not even bothering to get his attention I grab my jacket and car keys to get out of this tensioned filled house. He finally looks up and sees me leaving, "Where are you going?". Looking over my shoulder at him, "Out I can't be in the house right now, not with you." I don't wait for him to answer me I just head out to the car.

    I drive around Georgia taking in the views and getting acquainted with the town again, I find myself driving up into a small hiking trail.  Turning off the car I decide to go on a little hike and clear my mind.

   As I walk millions of  questions to through my head, what's going on? Why doesn't he want to tell me that Nikki is pregnant? Following the dirt path I found myself at a waterfall, taking off my shoes I sit on a rock and stare into the water. Swinging my feet back and forth feeling the cool water touching my toes.

    I sit there for awhile until I feel a tiny drop on my head, I look up and see dark clouds covering the sky, shoot it's about to rain. Drying off my feet quickly I start to run up the path to the car getting there just in time, the rain comes down hard. I start to backup until I realize I have no idea how I got here and how to get home, great.

    I try to use the map on my phone I look around for it and can't find it, what the hell? I must have forgotten it at home since I wasn't paying attention, could things get any worst, whatever I'll just drive around I hopefully make my way home. As I backed up the car suddenly stops. You got to be kidding me. There's no more gas in the damn car.

    How am I suppose to get home now?

Ian's POV

    Where the hell is she? I tried calling her only to find her phone sitting on the counter and I remembered that I didn't refill the tank on the car that she took. I'm such an idiot for ignoring her and not telling her about the pregnancy stick, I should have known that she would find it eventually.

   I look outside and see dark grey clouds looming above the house, fuck there's a storm coming.

*Flashback*

    This is fucking scary. I mean I'm ready to be a dad but with everything going on in our lives I don't think that right now is the best timing. Waiting for Nikki to finish pee on the stick is taking forever, I mean how hard is it to pee on a stick.

   After what feels like a century she walks out with a bright smile on her face "We're pregnant!" She runs towards me and hugs me.

   "I already called the doctors office they said we can go in an hour and see if I'm really pregnant."  She pregnant. That's all I can think about right now.

    I put on a smile so it doesn't make it seem like I'm questioning everything right now. "Honey that's so great, I'll get ready lets go see if we're having a baby." Secretly I'm hoping we're not.

    -------

    We get to the doctor and now we're just waiting for the doctor to come in. For the past hour Nikki has been talking non-stop about the baby. We're not even 100% sure if we're having one.

   I feel like I might pass out with all the information, Nikki tugs at my arm telling me that the doctor was ready to see us. As I waited for the doctor to confirm if Nikki was pregnant or not  sweat starts to form on my forehead, what if she's really pregnant.

   The doctor starts to examine Nikki, once she's done she turns towards us. "Well Mrs. Somerhalder it seems like you're not pregnant."

  A huge wave of relief washes over me, thank god. Nikki how ever is shocked. "Wait how can I not be pregnant, I've been feeling sick this past week and I took a test and it came out positive." Nikki turns towards me with tears in her eyes.

   "Well Mrs. Somerhalder sometimes those test can come out as a false negative, I'm sorry."

*End of Flashback*

   I bury my face in my hands, what am I going to do? It's past 9pm and Nina still isn't home yet, where is she?
The thunder and lightening is getting worse and it's raining like crazy.

Deciding that I can't just sit around doing nothing I grab the keys to the other car and try to find Nina. Praying that she's somewhere safe.

———————

I drive around aimlessly slowly loosing hope that I'll find her. I end up on one of the dirt roads that lead to a trail I decide to go check. As I get out of the car and start towards the hiking trail I see a car.
