Heartthrobs and Secret Admirers (A Lippa FanFiction)

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Abortion?

A week after Pippa's return we are in the doctors office waiting to be seen. She decided to go along with the abortion, although it kills me to think about it. I am happy she brought me along, I wouldn't want her to do his alone.

"Phillipa Soo?" It is our turn. Pippa grabs my hand before standing up and leading me towards the nurse. We follow her to a little room that is just large enough for an exam table.

I can't tell if the room is dull due to lack of decorations or the circumstances surrounding our visit. Pippa takes a seat on the table and I sit in the chair by the wall. Her eyes are red a puffy, I can tell this is going to be hard on her.

This morning I found her curled up on the bathroom floor crying. I tried to tell her she didn't have to go through with it if she didn't want to, that I would be here if she wanted to raise the child together. She insisted that this is what she needed to do.

The nurse explained how this works and what would happen yo both the baby and Pippa's body. He then explained that since Pippa was still in the beginning stages that the procedure was to just take a pill. Almost like a plan B pill on steroids.

He handed the little pill to Pippa and she grabbed my hand, squeezing tightly. She looked into my eyes as she held the pill closer to her lip. I could see tear building up in her own pleading to spill down her face.

"I can't do this!" She threw the pill down and began sobbing. The nurse looked at me like I had done something to provoke this. He turned back to Pippa before speaking. "You don't have to go through with this if you don't want to. You should never be pressured by the father to do this." He threw a dirty look my way before comforting Pippa some more and checking on the baby, he says it's looks healthy but I can't focus on that right now.

Why does he think I'm forcing Pippa to get an abortion? He is playing into male stereotypes. "I think you should have all the facts before you go around accusing people of things. I never wanted her to get an abortion, I was supporting her choice. I would never force someone, let alone someone I love, to do something this drastic against their will."

He looks at me with fear and regret in his eyes. "I'm so sorry sir, I just assumed she was upset because she was being forced to do this."

"You would think working at a place like this you would learn not to judge or assume things about patients. C'mon Pip let's go. This place disgusts me."

Pippa gets up from the table and wraps her arms around my torso, she places her head on my chest as we walk out to the car. When we get in neither one of us speak. We drive home in this silence, the sounds of the busy city engulfing the vehicle.

Once we get back home we still keep out mouths shut. I'm sure thoughts are racing through both of our heads of what to come next, I know mine is.

After a few minutes Pippa breaks the silence. "I'm sorry." It was said barely above a whisper but I still caught it.

"Why? You have nothing to be sorry for. We both took part in creating what is inside of you. If you are deciding to keep the baby I will be here, right by your side, every step of the way. I will go to every doctor appointment and baby class that you want to go to. I will go to all of the birthing classes and baby yoga sessions you want to attend. We are going to do everything on your call. I want you to be comfortable with all of this. I know this is going to be hard you for you, so don't forget you're not alone in this. I am right here, I will always be right here."

I watched as she broke down in front of me, quickly I pull her into my chest. "Shhhh, everything is going to be okay. Shhhh."

After both of us compose ourselves we go inside. My parents agreed to watch the kids while we were out 'running errands'.

"Hey Sebastian! Guess who's home!" my dad yells as me and Pip walk in the door. He peaks his head around the corner before running to Pippa's arms. "Mommy Pippa! I missed you so much." She picks him up and swings him in a circle before setting him back down.

"I missed you too Daddy!" he gives me a quick hug before running out of the room as quickly as he came. After a little bit my mother enters the room with my sleeping daughter in her arms.

"Thank you so much for looking after her Luz. Lin and I actually have some interesting news to tell you." Worry plasters my mother's face.

I shoot Pip a look trying to tell her she doesn't need to do this now. We can wait to figure this out.

"No, it's fine Lin. I'm ready." She looks back at my parents as she takes my hand in hers. "Lin and I are expecting another child." once again Pippa and I are surrounded by silence.
