Anxiety

The wedding: Chapter 4 The test

(Kirstie's POV)

I inhaled sharply, recovering from the shock I just had.

"You're pregnant?"  I yelled.

"Shhh!!  People are gonna hear you..."  Ingrid said as she knelt down to pick up the book.

It's a gigantic book written "pregnancy guide" on it.

"You're pregnant?"  I asked again, this time with a smaller voice.

"I'm not sure yet.  But my period is late for almost a month..."  She avoided eye contact with me.

I brought her into a hug.

"Oh my gosh, you're pregnant."  I mumbled.

"No, Kirst...I'm not sure yet.."  She pushed me away and said.

"Of course you're sure.  You just don't want to take a test because it'll be real afterwards."  I looked at her.  She must be terrified.

It's pretty Avi-ous that she knew already.  She even hid a book in the stall, and checked whether she could drink or not.

"I'm scared, Kirstie...what if I am pregnant?  I don't know anything about kids..."  Ingrid mumbled.  It's like she's about to cry.

"You're gonna learn."  I gave her a smile.

"But what if Scott doesn't want babies..."  She mumbled.

"Silly, it's yours, of course he would want it."  I reached a hand out to stroke her hair, trying to calm her down.

"But what if.."

"Shhh..."  I hugged her gently.

"I'll go to the near-by store and buy you a test, okay?  Everything will be fine."  I patted her back.

"No, it's okay, I'll-"  

I pulled away, and ran out as fast as I can.

I can't believe Ingrid's having a baby.  I am so excited.  

I'm gonna be auntie Kirstie, the coolest aunt!!

(Scott's POV)

"I can't believe you got married before me!!"

I was talking to my older sister, Carter.

She has long hazelnut hair. And blue eyes like me.  But she's the shortest among our family.  She's as tall as Kirstie.

"You'll meet your one one day, and you'll be so happy.  It's worth the wait."  I smiled.

She was about to say something, but then she saw Ingrid coming over.

I was getting worried, but she looked alright.  But where's Kirstie?

"Congratulations, Princess!!"  Carter exclaimed.

"Thank you, Carter."  Ingrid said as she hugged her.

We all sat down and chatted.

"You know, this one time, when Scott was still little-"  Carter started.

"Anybody wanna dance?"  I interrupted her.  She's telling an embarrassing story, I'm sure.

Everyone ignored me, even Ingrid.  

"We were invited to this Halloween party.  We were picking up our costume, and we had a bunch of choices-"  Carter said.

"Guys, I love this song!  Let's dance!"  I exclaimed.  

I was ignored, again.

"And, Scott over here, picked up a wedding dress."  Carter said.

"Oh god, really?"  Ingrid laughed.
