"Joe is downstairs and he's gonna take us." I nod at Sarah who was nervously waiting by the door.
"Why are you so nervous? You're not the one that could possibly be pregnant."
"Because, you're young, Shawn's young, you guys aren't ready to be parents if you ask me."
"There's still a possibility that I'm not pregnant."
"Let's just go."
"Alright."
I follow her downstairs where Joe was. I was so happy to see him. He was kinda like a second dad to me.
"Jacklyn you look so good!"
"Thank you, this is how I know you care for me, I'm in leggings, a ponytail and a hoodie."
"You can make anything work though."
Soon enough we arrived to the clinic.
I grabbed a clipboard and wrote down all my information and indicated why I was here.
"Jacklyn Black." A nurse calls me. Sarah stands up while Joe just stays sitting.
"I'll wait out here." I nod and walk into the back room.
"All right Miss, take your shoes off and step on." I stand on the weight and wait for her to tell me to step off. "So it's says here that you are here to get a pregnancy test?"
"That's correct."
"You know you can do that by yourself?"
"Yes but I just want to make sure, you know?"
"Right. Go into that room and just wait for the doctor."
Sarah leads the way while I get my shoes.
"Do you realize that whatever the outcome of this test can determine my future?"
"That's what I've been saying."
"I feel like I should be freaking out but I'm just not."
"I don't know how you do it."
We stay in silence for a while before she breaks the silence.
"Don't be offended by this question, but if you are pregnant, will you abort? Or give it up for adoption?" I think about her question.
"No, I don't think so. It might have been unplanned but this baby is apart of me. I don't think I'm strong enough to do that. And if I do turn out expecting, I will love this baby with every inch of my body."
"That's nice. If it's a boy, what will you name it?"
"I don't know. But if it's a girl, Melissa or Rose."
*knock knock*
"Hello Ms. Black, I'm Doctor Janette. I see here that you are in need of a pregnancy test?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Okay well, take this cup and go into the bathroom. I'll run some tests on it to make sure if you are or aren't pregnant."
I nod and grab the cup.
Peeing in the cup wasn't as hard as I imagined it to be.
I washed my hands and returned to the room.
"Here ya go."
"Thank you, Doctor Janette will be right back with your test results."
I hop back onto the chair and sigh.
"I wish the process would speed up."
"Same. I'm a little bored."
"Are you doing anything later?"
"Not really, I just have to make Rihanna a dress."
"Oh right, nothing out of the ordinary right? Just making a dress for Rihanna, no biggie."
"Ha Ha, no but after making dresses for loads of celebrities you kind of loose that star struck feeling."
"Right. I don't think I'll ever get rid of that feeling to be honest."
"Did you feel like that with Shawn?"
"Not really. I was kinda just intimidated. I didn't really know what to expect. A person can't be that kind and perfect, you know?"
"Yeah."
"After we spoke, I kind of felt like I knew him and I could kinda talk to him like a friend."
"You two do have the same sarcastic humor."
A few minutes passed and Sarah and I patiently waited on the doctor to come back.
*knock knock*
"Me again. The results are back. Good news, you are not pregnant. The stomach ache and nausea you were feeling was probably just a bug going around in Dallas. I assume it's cold down there."
"It is."
"Just drink some tea when you get back and try to avoid spicy food and you'll be all right."
"Cool. Are we allowed to go?"
"Yes. Oh and say hi to Andrew for me, he's a very good friend."
"Will do."
I grab my bag and we go back to the waiting room where Joe was reading a magazine.
"Thank God you guys are back. This is my sixth magazine."
"Oh Joe."
"So... are you,?"
"No thank the lord!"
"That's great news! Does that mean you have to go back to Dallas?"
"Unfortunately. There's no need for me to be here."
"Shawn?"
"Lmao no. He doesn't like me like that."
"Really? It's none of my business but since you left, he's done nothing but talk about you."
Right as I got back to the hotel, I called Andrew.

Andrew:
And? What were the results?

After I exit out of the phone app, I click on the iMessage.
