Rachel's POV
My eyes fluttered open, bringing me out of my sleep. As soon as they opened I felt awful. I legged it to the bathroom and just made the toilet before spilling my body weight in puke.
I walked back through to the bedroom to see a note. I read it.
Future Mrs Sugg,
Sorry i'm not home.
I had to leave early for a meeting and I have three more after that one.
I'll be back for 6pm.
Love you!
Your soon to be husband x
Joe always made me smile, whether he was right next to me or away from me.
After a while of staring into space, something dawned on me. I had woken up, feeling ill and nauseous and i'd been sick in the morning. One thought crossed my mind.
"No, no, no, no!" I said, putting my head in my hands.
The one thing Joe and I forgot about the last time we had sex! Protection!
It was currently 10am. Eight hours until Joe gets home.
I need to get a test!
***********************
I rushed back into the flat from going to the pharmacy.
How could this be happening?
How could Joe and I be so stupid to not use protection?
I'm only twenty two. I can't be pregnant! Not like this! I'm not ready to be a mum yet!
I stared at the unopened pregnancy test for a few minutes hoping this was all just a dream. But it wasn't! This is reality! My reality!
I peed on the stick and left it on the side of the stick. I sat on the other side of the room. I have to wait four minutes! Four minutes until I find out whether my life will carry on as normal, or dramatically change! There's no doubt in my mind that Joe and I want children together in the future. But not now! We're in the prime of our lives. How could we raise a child? I don't know the first thing about being a mum!
How do you stop a baby from crying?
How do you tell what is wants?
How do you manage through the day?
How could I cope?
What if Joe hates me if it's positive?
He won't want a child yet! He would call off the wedding and finish with me! All because of that one night! I should have remembered to mention protection. This is all my fault! Not Joe, me! I take the blame for all of this! Me!
I took a look at my phone. Four minutes had passed. I was terrified. I stared at the test that was on the other side of the room. Fear was controlling me, making me unable to move.
After a few minutes of deep breathing, I finally took the first step, and then began taking smaller steps to the sink, where the test was. Every step caused worry and guilt to pang through my body. I've never been so scared in my life. I've always wanted to be a mum, but not like this!
I reached to where the test was and picking it up, keeping my eyes firmly shut.
Here it goes!
I looked down at the test.
Sobs I didn't know I had in me belted out!
Oh my god!
I'm
Pregnant!
