Confession and visitors

"Pregnant?! Are you sure?" I asked my doctor. He recoiled a bit, which made me think I scared him a little when I screamed.
"Those are the results." My doctor said calmly before nodding and walking out of the room.
I stayed in the room for about ten minutes just thinking. How can I be pregnant? I'm only 16. How am I going to tell my mom? Then I started wondering. Who's the father? The only person I could have been is Aaron. How am I going to tell him? He's in prison for something I don't even know, but I was most worried about telling my mom.

I finally left the room and left. On the way home I cried. Not because I was scared, but because I was stupid and irresponsible. I decided to go to Aaron's house instead, To talk to Hayden and tell her that I'm pregnant with his sons child.

I found a parking spot in the driveway of their house and decided to park there. Before I got out of the car I tried to make it seem like I wasn't crying. I tried putting on makeup so it could help but it didn't. I finally gave up and just got out of the car and walked to the front door. As I was going to knock on the red wooden door, tears started streaming down my face. I was scared yes, but I was hoping she would understand. I knocked on the door and Hayden opened the door almost immediately. Looking shocked.

"Oh my god Natalia, are you okay?!" She said with pure concern in her voice.

I shook my head and started crying more. Hayden grabbed my arm and took me to the muted pink couch in the living room. Hayden sat me down and sat down next to me and a white pillow. She grabbed a teal box of tissues and gave it to me.

"What happened?" She said. Her voice soft which comforted me. I wiped my eyes with a tissue before talking.
"I have something to tell you Hayden." I said as I grabbed her hands, squeezing them gently. She nodded to signal that she was listening.

"I went to the doctors this morning cause I had been throwing up so much and I got results that said .." I took a deep breath to calm myself down before I told her.
"They told me I was pregnant." I said while trying not to cry. All I heard from Hayden was a faint gasp. I closed my eyes fearing she might not want me around anymore, then I felt a warm embrace around me. I opened my eyes to see Hayden not next to me but hugging me.

"It's okay Natalia. It's okay." She said in the softest voice. I hugged her back tightly, quietly sobbing. She pulled back and looked at me dead in the eyes.
"Do you know who the father is sweetie?" She asked still in a soft voice. I nodded and opened my mouth to speak.
"That's why I came here Hayden." I said " the father is Aaron. He's the only person I could be." She looked at me. I was scared she'd kick me out and not want me around Aaron, but what she said was far from that.
"Oh sweetie. It's okay. Have you told your mother?" I shook my head and got worried that she might tell her.

"Well you'll have to tell her sometime. I'll keep it a secret for now. When your ready, tell her. I'll help you if you'd like. Tomorrow is a visiting day at the prison where Aaron is. You can tell him that you're pregnant then." She told me.

"I'm just hoping he takes it well." I told Hayden.
"Well enough being sad. Why don't we just watch Netflix and eat. Ik make you some cookies if you want." She said her voice going from a whisper to a excited tone on her voice.
I nodded and picked up the remote and put on Netflix while eating some of Hayden's delicious cookies.

I've never been so nervous to talk to someone. I was currently sitting in a chair that was in front of glass and had a phone next to it. On the other side was an empty chair. I was at the prison waiting for Aaron to be able to come here. A door on the left opened and Aaron came with two guards at his side. They sat him down forcefully in the chair and told him he had twenty minutes to talk to people. Aaron looked at me and picked up the phone quickly. I mirrored his actions.

"Natalia, oh my god. I miss you so much." He said putting his hand on the glass. I did the same.
"Aaron I miss you too. Why were you taken to prison?" I asked him.
"I'm being charged for a robbery of a bank, but the person wasn't me. It's someone that looks like me."
"Have you tried to tell them?" I asked.
"Yes but they've told me until they find the person who did it, I'll have to stay in prison."
"That's stupid, but I guess I can't do anything about it." I looked down. Tears threatening to come out, but before they could I remembered what I wanted to tell him. I looked back up.

"Aaron..?" He looked at me. Looking deep into my eyes. Probably trying to figure out if something was wrong.
"Yes baby? Are you okay?" He asked. Still trying to figure out if something was wrong.
"I'm fine I just have something I wanted to tell you."

He looked worried and serious.
"What is it?"
"Yesterday I went to the doctor's since lately I've been throwing up so much. It got so bad that I would throw up two to three times a day." I said, looking at him through glassy eyes.
"The doctor did some tests and got some results to why I'm throwing up so much."
Aaron nodded and got closer to the glass. I took a deep breath while tears ran down my cheeks. I was hoping he was understanding about this.

"Aaron ..I'm pregnant."
