The Headmistress

7

Another two months passed and Emma was avoiding me. For no reason. She wouldn't answer my calls. Texts. Nothing. I feel like shit. I love her. And now she's just... avoiding me. I sat in my classroom while the kids studied for their finals. This is the last week before winter break. I ran my fingers through my hair before my mouth started watering. My eyes widened and I got up and rushed out of my classroom to the big trash can by my door. I immediately started throwing up. And i continued throwing up for several minutes. I finally stopped and closed my eyes. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. "Ms. Mills?" Someone asked. I looked up and saw Ms. Midas and I gave a weak smile. "Are you alright?" She asked and I hummed. "Uh.. sure.." I mumbled. "Sweety, go home. I'll watch your class." She said softly and I nodded. "Thank you." I said and she nodded. We both went in my classroom and the students all looked up at me. "Okay... so Ms. Midas is going to watch you guys for awhile. Uh... continue studying." I mumbled and grabbed my stuff. They just kept working. I left and closed the door behind me, leaning against the wall. This means I have to go talk to Emma. Of fucking course. I slowly walked to her secretary's office and she smiled up at me. "Hello Ms. Mills." She said and I hummed. "Um... I need to speak with Headmistress Swan." I mumbled. She gave a weird look at me calling her by her actual title but nodded. "Go on back." She said and I nodded. I went back to her office and knocked on the door. I heard a muffled "come in" before I did as told. Fuck she looks gorgeous. She's wearing a loose green button down with the sleeves rolled up and no doubt her stupid tight jeans. Her hair's down in its natural long waves. And i was so fucking annoyed at her. "What can I do for you Mills." She said sounding annoyed and I clinched my teeth. "I need a sub. I have to go home." I said, my voice rough. "Sorry. You need to let me know a day in advance to find a sub." She spit and looked at her computer. "Oh so it's okay when you want to take me home to fuck me but it's not okay when I'm throwing up in the hall? Real professional." I spit angrily. She glanced at me and sighed. "Fine. Go home. I'll figure something out." She said sounding annoyed and I clinched my fist this time. "I don't know what your problem is, but don't take it out on me. You're the one who disappeared." I spit. "Leave Ms. Mills, or you will regret it." She said sounding angry. "What are you going to do? Fire me? Guess what. I don't give a fuck anymore." I spit and an unreadable look passed her eyes. "If that's how you feel, I'll find someone to replace you." She said and looked back at her computer. "I bet you already have, haven't you." I spit, my anger boiling in the pit of my stomach. "What the hell is that supposed to mean." She said angrily. "I mean exactly what I said." I spit, now leaning on my hands on her desk. She ground her teeth together and I could tell i was getting to her. Good. "Leave Ms. Mills. Now." She said harshly and I nodded. "I don't know why I ever loved you." I spit, turning to leave. "The same goes for you." She spit and I teared up. "I quit. Find someone to replace me." I mumbled and I heard her breathing hitch. I left her office with tears streaming down my cheeks and I left, ignoring her secretary asking if I was alright.

I laid in bed sobbing and I pulled the covers farther over me. If this is some part of her stupid fucking game I want out. I covered my mouth, trying to calm down and i closed my eyes. I always promised myself I wouldn't ever let someone hurt me so much. But here I am, allowing myself to be ripped apart by a woman who never even cared.

The end of the week came and I was throwing up every morning. I didn't go back to work. Emma's called and texted me several times but I'm done. I sat in the waiting room at my OB/GYN and took some deep breaths. When I called my doctor with my symptoms, she suggested having a check up and ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. And that's what scared me. Emma and I didn't use protection. Which is probably the stupidest thing I could've ever done. I jumped a little when my name was called and i stood up, following my nurse back. She led me to a room and I sat on the medical bed. She smiled and hummed. "What's going on today?" She asked softly and i chewed on my lip. "Um.. I've been throwing up in the mornings. I've been tired and I've had a lot of weird cravings, along with eating more. And I missed my last three periods." I mumbled. How was i so stupid? I didn't even notice I missed my periods. None of this clicked until my doctor suggested coming here. And now... now I might be pregnant with her child. That's going to ruin me. "Ms. Mills?" She asked, pulling me out of my trance. I looked at her and she gave me a kind smile. "The doctor will be in in a few minutes." She said and I nodded. She left and I looked around the small room. My nerves were almost through the roof. I can't have a baby with her. I ran my fingers through my hair and after several more minutes, Dr. Green came in. "Good morning Regina. How are we doing today?" She asked and i smiled a little. She's been my gynecologist since I got pregnant with Henry. "I'm alright." I mumbled. She nodded. "Alright so what's been going on?" She asked and sat down. I sighed. "Um... I've been throwing up every morning for a week. I've been really tired lately. I've been eating more, along with some weird cravings. And I missed my last three periods." I said and she nodded. "And are you sexually active?" She asked and i looked at my lap before nodding. "Protected?" She asked softly and I teared up before shaking my head. "You know the consequences for unprotected sex so I won't give you the spiel. But is there a possibility of STD's or STI's?" She asked kindly and i shook my head, wiping a tear away. "No I.. I trusted her. I-it was the heat of the moment we just.. forgot protection." I mumbled. "Her?" She asked and i nodded. "She's intersexual." I said softly. "Alright. Well we're going to run some blood tests and we'll do an ultrasound. I'll do the blood test first to get it out of the way. Sound good?" She said softly and I nodded. She squeezed my shoulder before leaving and I wiped my tears away again. Everything's going to be okay. I'll be perfectly fine.
