The Truth Is Revealed

Selena:

I am so nervous, sitting across from Lola, who's expecting answers. She said to start from the beginning, but I wasn't even sure where the beginning is. I stop and take a breath, then let the rest come easy. "I know why I'm so pregnant after a week," I start with. "Well, tell me," she urges. "One day of pregnancy for me is like two weeks for a human," I tell her. Shock blossoms across her face and I know she wasn't expecting that. Hell, I hadn't been expecting that. I hadn't been expecting any of this. That is, naturally, why it's called an unexpected pregnancy.

"Well, that's a good explanation," she murmurs finally. "I thought so," I reply. "And that means that I'll give birth in a week and a half. That's equivalent to a nine month human pregnancy. Still, dragon babies can be born early or late. So I can give birth anytime. And I'm scared to death, Lola. I'm afraid of giving birth. I'm afraid of motherhood," I tell her, my voice cracking. I'm only twenty-one. I thought I had the rest of my life. I thought I would do things; travel the world; do everything and be anyone. But my life is grinding to a standstill.

Lola:

I listen to Selena rant about how scared she is. I can't believe she thinks she won't be a good mother. "Selena, don't worry. Everything will be okay. I've got your back, and I'll support you no matter what," I comfort her. She gives me a teary-eyed smile and I can see that I did manage to comfort her, at least a little. I'm glad we've got each other for support. "Thank you, Lola. What would I do without you," she murmurs. I often ask myself the same thing. Selena is my lifeline, my supporter, my best friend. I love her to death, and I'd be lost without her to fall back on. "What would we do without each other," I correct. And I honestly don't know the answer.

Selena:

I have my best friend support, and I couldn't be more grateful for that. Even though I'm terrified, and nothing she says or I do will make it go away. I can't drown my demons; they know how to swim, so I'll just have to go with the flow. "We need go tell Dan about this. He should stay in the loop. Phil already knows since he was with me, but Dan should be told," I suggest to Lola. She nods in agreement and we eat our lunch quickly, which arrived sometime in the middle of my rant. I just hope Dan doesn't freak out.

A/N

I am sorry that this took a while to update and that it is short, but I felt it was a good stopping point. It's a cliffhanger, but I like leaving you guessing. I will try to update more often. What do you think about the chapter? What will Dan say? Comment your answers. I want to hear from you guys. Please vote and comment. It would make me feel better. I want to know how I am doing, and if I get votes then I must be doing something right. Thank you to everyone who has read this story. It means so much to me. You have no idea how happy it makes me to know that someone has read my work. I love all of our followers. You guys are amazing. Thank you all!

A/N: This is Ariella once more. I just wanted to basically repeat what Aspen said, in that we do love hearing from you guys. Seriously, comments make our day. Or, at least my day. I assume it's the same for Aspen, I don't really know. Also, I want you guys to know that each update is completely a surprise; I offer Aspen my ideas but until the chapter is complete I don't know what she's doing. But I digress. I wanna hear from you, and I know she does too. It honestly means a lot.
