Abby's POV

"Mac, does this look odd to you?" Carla shows us her two piece dress. 

"Odd as in?" 

"I don't know, it's not me.." 

I groan and throw my brush at her. "What are you talking about, you look fine. Now if you really want me to come with you to this new nightclub, then get dressed!" I say. 

"Why are you so annoyed today?" Mac sits down on the bed next to me while Carla finishes dressing up.

".. I don't know, I feel odd myself." I sigh and put my head in my hands. 

"Mood swings, odd feeling... have you been feeling like you need to vomit?" She asks.

I face her. "No, we're going too far with that line of thought, I'm not pregnant!"

"How would you know?" 

"I just.. know... Okay?"

"You've slept together right!?"

 I blush. "Sure we have.." 

"Then.... you might be pregnant." 

"Mood swings don't always mean that it's pregnancy.."

"Alright, if you're sure." Mac surrenders and lays back. "What's taking you so long, Carla!?"

~~~

The nightclub is buzzing with activity and drunks and I feel so left out all of a sudden. The queasiness isn't helping me either, Mac couldn't be right... right? Because if I was pregnant, I don't know if I can handle Maxi leaving me.. He's become everything to me.

"Come on girls, SHOTS!" Mac shouts over the DJ music and drags us to the bar. 

Mac orders some shots that are green in appearance and I frown, raising a brow at her. "What is it?" 

"A shot, silly!" She giggles and clinks out shot glasses together. "Cheers girls!" 

We knock them back and I wince, the after taste.. is horrible. I widen my eyes suddenly... if I am pregnant, it's not tolerable to drink. I order a water and wash the taste of alcohol away, Carla frowns at me. 

"One shot and you're spent?" She asks while Mac orders another drink.

I pull Carla aside. "Carla, you have a son, right?"

She rolls her eyes. "That I never get to see..."

"Carla, how did you know that you were pregnant?" 

Now Mac's theory was getting to me, did I really think this was possible? I mean, we were careful!

She shrugs. "Morning sickness, mood swings, hmm... oh and stupid cravings, but to be honest cravings happened after a week into my pregnancy. Why?" 

I groan. "Carla... I might be pregnant.." 

She gasps. "What the hell?" 

"I don't know.. I mean, I've been moody lately.."

"It's different for everyone, it might be nothing." She says. "Have you been sick lately?"

I shake my head. "I feel queasy." 

She sighs. "It's better that you check it out, Abby. To be safer than sorry, and if you're pregnant, it's not the end of the world.. alright?" 

"Carla, what would Maxi say!?"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, maybe coming to the nightclub wasn't a good thing, eh?" She smiles.

I shrug. "I should probably just go home.." 

"You sure?" 

"I'm sure, tell Mac I left. I'll talk to you girls later." 

"Abby?"

"Yeah?" 

"Don't over worry okay?" 

"I'll try." I sigh and walk out of the club. 

I walk onto the busy street and lean back on the brick wall. My mind is going hay-wire, I have to check this out before I stress myself out too much... I walk toward the apartment and my eyes come across a drugstore, I pause on my path and frown..

'Better safe than sorry' isn't that always the saying? Even if it's kind of surprising news? I jog across the road and into the store, it doesn't take me too long to get a pregnancy test with three sticks and run home.
