A country fairytale

Chapter four

     I had Harper finally happy with my decision I do plan on telling Luke but I want to wait for a little while, let this news settle with my first and get a doctor to confirm the questions I know that Luke is going to ask. I tried to put this back my head and focus on my homework for school, I am so happy that is my final year of college. At least God waited for my thing after I am almost done with school, I can't wait to finally get my RN license and do what I love. I realized after studying a little bit I had to get ready for work, I am currently a CNA at a nursing home near me. I started to get into my scrubs, should I tell my work that I am pregnant? I mean I know you have to be careful being pregnant with lifting over a certain of pounds, I don't want to harm this child. I decided I would wait, I mean I did tell the nurse on the phone what I do for a living and she didn't sound concern. I started to walk into work pulling my scrubs away from my stomach, I feel as if someone just looking at me could know I am pregnant.

     I grab my pager and started to do my rounds, the nurses all say hello while I walked into Mrs. Carins room. She is one of my favorite residents here, she treats me like I am one of her kids, every day when she sees me she tells me that she is proud of me with where I am in school and always reminds me not to forget to eat or drink. As I went into her room she was laying bed watching TV. I tell her hi and she looks at me and looks at my stomach. I started to wrap my arms around my stomach, "hunny are you hiding something" I blurted out no and started to reposition her so she doesn't get bed sores and she grabs my arm. "Who is the father?" I look down I can't tell her, she always knows when there is something going on with my life. "She grabs my hand and strokes it "hunny you can talk to me I've known for weeks that you are pregnant I can tell someone is pregnant before the test is even positive" I laughed and pulled up a chair. She knows I am single I tell this lady everything about me because she is so easy to talk to. I started to go on about the concert but of course I don't give her the dirty details but of course she was pushing for them. "Well hunny you need to tell him right away, he's more apart of this as you are." I shook my head and looked down "I know but what if he doesn't believe me that the baby is his?" She lifted my head up with my chin "That is a road you will take when you get on it, if he doesn't believe you than tell him to wait until that child is born." I agreed and promised her I would call him when I get home from my shift.

     Before I knew it, it was time for me to go home. I was dreading the time, I don't want to go home, more importantly I don't want to call him. But Mrs. Carins is right, he needs to know rather he accepts it or not. The drive home was long I kept trying to remember where I put his number, you think for being Luke Hill's number I should've framed it up onto my wall to brag to everyone how I got with him and his number. When I got home I walked up the stairs and opened my door to my apartment, I placed my things onto my table and walked to my bed room. I started to search through all of my things, I looked into my jewelry box where I saw his number staring at my face. I picked it up and kept reading the number over along with the message he wrote on the letter. "I had a great time last night, I hope you call me I would love to get to know you some more." I grabbed my phone and dialed each number slowly, I placed my phone to my ear with every ring my heart kept sinking more and more into my stomach. After the 3rd ring I heard someone answer it "Hello Rayne is that you?"

     I almost dropped the phone and I could hear him saying hello again I hurried my phone to my ear "yes Luke its me how did you know?" I could hear him giggling through the other side of the phone "I have caller ID" I hit myself in the head feeling embarrassed by that answer. " I didn't think that you were ever going to call me" He said sounding sad but yet at the same time happy that I finally did. I apologize to him I have been just busy with work and school, he understood perfectly because his life has been crazy too. "Luke, I have something to tell you..." He started to sound concern "What is it?" I took a deep breathe wanting to cry on the phone, fighting back the tears because I don't have a good feeling that is going to go over well. "Rayne what is it? What's wrong tell me please." I took 3 more deep breaths until I stopped talking so I could speak clearly. "Luke you know that night that we had?" He responded back confused "yes of course I do" "well that night you should know I am not on any birth control" I could hear him starting to get a little angry on the phone "what are you trying to tell me?" I was to scared to say anything, if he is already acting like this I should just hang up the phone, act like I never called him. "Rayne are you pregnant?" He said sounding snarly and pissed on the phone. I started to shed tears but I kept them silent to myself "yes" I responded and I heard a click on the other line, I looked at my phone and all I read was call ended.
