Trust Issues

Chapter 22 -- Scare.

I woke up. Parker was besides me. I yawned and stretched out before I got out of bed. I looked at myself in our mirror. I was suprisingly getting bigger, but I didn't think much of it.
It's been about 2 months since Parker's coma. And ever since we got home, we have been inseparable. Physically.
"Hey babe." Parker said as he smiled at me. He looked hella tired, and if we're not lying, it suited him.
I smiled back, and suddenly, I started feeling sick. I ran to the bathroom and puked everything up I ate from last night. I got to thinking. Parker and I have been having sex lately. Did we forget to put on a condom on? Did the condom break at some point.
My mind was racing. What do I tell Parker?
I walked back into the bedroom.
"Everything good, Leilani?" Parker asked me.
"I think I'm pregnant." I blurted out.
Parker just stared at me for awhile. It was awkward and silent. I sat on the bed and took off my shirt to expose my stomach.
I walked in front of our mirror and noticed that I was really gaining weight. A little quicker than normal. I had this little belly. It was a bump. A baby bump.
Parker looked at me without saying anything.
Then he sat up and grabbed my wrist pulling me on top of him. I sat right below Parker's chest.
I looked at him looking for a reaction. Anything would be good right now.
"Don't worry. I'll go to the store and buy some pregnancy tests." Parker said as he pushed the hair behind my ear.
"And if I am pregnant?" I asked him.
"Then we will figure it out. It's gonna be okay. Okay?" Parker told me.
I shook my head in agreement and smiled a little at him. Parker smiled back at me.
I put my hands on Parker's chest and leaned into him.
Suddenly, Parker rolled me over and put his hand on my stomach. I gasped as his hands were cold and my stomach was warm.
"And if you are pregnant, then that's all ours." He whispered in my ear.
I started thinking. It wouldn't be the worst thing if I was pregnant. Parker and I could financially support ourselves and the baby. We both were out of high school. It's the summer.
But does Parker want to go to college? What about the future? What about my whole life? What would my mom say? What would Parker's dad say?
My whole head flooded with questions. I wanted to ask Parker them, but I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Parker said everything would be okay, so all I could do was believe him.
Parker got up and smiled. He was standing in his Calvin Klein boxers, and it was a great sight. I blushed as he made eye contact with me.
"Can you maybe get a pregnancy test when you go out?" I asked Parker.
Parker smiled and said "Why don't we go out and get it together?"
I smiled back at him and he moved to sit on the bed so he was right next to me. Parker leaned in and touched my stomach. I flinched at the warmth of his touch. It never occurred to me that I was cold.
"Damn babe. You're a bit cold." Parker said as he looked up at me.
"Then warm me up." I said back with a smile.
Parker smiled back and caught what I was putting down. Slowly, Parker climbed on top of me and teased me for awhile. I couldn't help but laugh, thankfully Parker laughed back.
When we were done, I hopped in the shower with Parker. I just sat there and let the warm water hit my stomach. Soon, I would know if I was pregnant. Soon, I would know how Parker really feels.
Parker drove to the store. Even when Parker and I have been together for awhile, he always held the door for me and opened my car door.
While we were walking into the store, Parker grabbed my hand. He held it a bit tight. Maybe he was worried. Maybe he was scared. We walked through the aisles until we reached it. A pregnancy test. We both stared at them.
"We should get a couple to make sure that it's exact." Parker said.
I forced a smile on my face. Parker could sense that I was worried and he wrapped his hands around me. He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead.
"I love you Leilani." Parker said as he put the pregnancy tests in the buggy.
