Animals

Chapter 18

There all POSITIVE! Wait, does this mean I'm...? But how! What should I do? I have to tell Ms. Eagle! I start pacing around the room in panic. A knock at my door startles me. "C-come in." Jake pops his head in. "Guess what!" He cheers. "What?" I ask. "Mr. Elija is taking us to the beach!" Jake squeals.

A sudden idea pops in mind. If I'm at the beach I can ask Elija about what happened that night! I mentally cheer. But a part of me has a feeling I know what happened. "When?" I ask. "Next Wednesday." He answers. "Jake, I'm going to head to Ms. Eagle's office." I say. Genuine concern crosses his face.

"What's wrong?" He asks. "Nothing, just need to talk." I give him some of the truth. I know Ms. Eagle would be disappointed in me if she found out I didn't tell her first. But there's a chance it's not true...I hope.

I make my way to her office. As I knock on her door my nerves start to go haywire. "Come in." She invites me.  I take a deep breath before walking in. "What is Sinagona, I'm a little busy." She states. I try my best to settle my nerves before spilling it out.

"I think I'm pregnant." She suddenly stops. "What?" She asks as she looks up at me. "Well, the box said there's a one percent chance I'm not." I blabber on. "Sinagona..." She says in a low voice. "I'll have a special doctor check." Ms. Eagle offers. Her face is as pale as ever. She looks speechless. "Can we not let anyone know?" I beg. If Jake were to find out it might ruin our friendship.

"Yes, of course." Ms. Eagle gets up quickly from her desk. She drags me down to the clinic. "May I have Dr. Sage?" Ms. Eagle requests. When given the thumbs up she drags me to Dr. Sage's clinic room. "Sit here." She orders. "I'm so sorry." She looks at me. Her eyes weren't raging with anger, but worried. "Sinagona Sira Sinaria." I flinch at her calling my full name. "I'm not mad, but I'm really concerned." She states.

Dr. Sage walks in. "Eagle and Sinaria, how may I be of assistance?" She asks in a bright cheery smile. By the look of her ring she's a panda Nia. "This is top secret, Jewels." Her bright smile fades into a serious face. "What is it?" She asks. "She thinks she pregnant, but we're not sure." She explains. Dr. Sage's eyes widen. "Did you take take tests?" She asks me. "Yes, I took four." I answer.

"Ms. Eagle, could you wait outside while I take some tests?" Ms. Eagle nods before exiting the room. Dr. Sage runs the tests. She invites Ms. Eagle to come back in when she gets the results. "Alright," Ms. Eagle squeezes my hand, preparing herself for the reveal. "She's one hundred percent pregnant." Dr. Sage reads the results. "Almost two months." My heart falls.

This has to be a nightmare, it just has to. "No..." I says breathlessly. "Sinagona." Ms. Eagle tries to calm me by rubbing my back. It does bring some ease, but not enough to recover from the shock. "Sinagona, who's the father?" The question of my nightmares comes up. "Can I tell before you Ms. Eagle." I look down, to embarrassed to look her in the eyes. "Of course." She agrees to my wish.

We both leave the clinic. "Sinagona, I think you should rest for the day." Ms. Eagle purposes. When we make it back to my room, she settles me in bed. Once she leaves I roll myself into a ball. Why? Why of all things that could happen to me, this. Why does this have to happen! I cry myself to sleep. Hoping that all my problems would drip away with all of my tears.

When it turns Wednesday I prepare myself. Jake told me we'd meet up with Elija at the beach. It's a fifteen minute road trip, but we make it. I already had on my bikini for the beach. When we get there Elija already has some chairs and a large umbrella set up.

As soon as we get out the car Jake makes a run for the water, while I walk over to Elija. He's relaxing on the chair; the umbrella shadowing over him. "You look nice in that." He comments. I just stare at him. "Elija, what happened that night." I ask.

This time I know the answer, I just want the clarity from him. "I've already told you." He whines. "Elija, don't make a sound and listen to your surroundings." I ask of him. I know he'll be able to hear it.

"Sina..." The babies heartbeat. "Why didn't you tell me?" I growl. He doesn't answer. "Tell me!" I shout. He sighs. "If I told you our friendship would of been over." He answers. "You would of never talked to me again." His voice starts to break. "Tell me what happened." I plea. "Fine..." He reluctantly agreed. 

       What Happened On The Date

"Cupcake, you had too much." Elija said. I don't know why, but he looked extremely handsome tonight. "I don't know why, but I like you." I don't even know what I'm saying. Elija's eyes widen at my words. He looked overjoyed as a little kid in a candy store.

Before I knew it he picked me up and threw me on the bed. "Elija..."

                               End

"You let me get drunk." I groan. "Cupcake, I'm sorry." His eyes hold sincere to his apology. "What am I supposed to say to Ms. Eagle?" I question myself. "The father of my child is our enemy." How am I supposed to tell this to her!?

Before another word left my lips Elija wrapped his arms tightly around me. "I doubt this will do anything, but I'm glad you're the mother of my child." I could feel my heart flutter at his words, but I don't let it show. "You'll meet her today." I state. I'll introduce him to Ms. Eagle today. "What?" He asks uncertain of what I'm trying to say. "You'll meet Ms. Eagle today." I clarify.

I wave to Jake who's still in the water. "Jake let's go!" I shout. He quickly swims back up the shore.

It's a awkward silence on the ride home. Me and Jake brought some clothes to change into after the beach. "So, what you're saying is we have to sneak a vampire into Ms. Eagle's office?" He asks. I nod. "Oh, why don'tca kill me now." I pinch him. "Jake this is serious." I hiss. He only sighs.

When we make it back me and Jake sneak Elija into Ms. Eagle's office. When we come in unexpectedly it startles Ms. Eagle. "Sinagona, who's this?" She questions. I can tell by the look on her face she's figured out he's vampire.

"Ms. Eagle, this is Elija, the father of my baby."
