The Jock

Pregnant or Not?

An hour later we arrive to New York considering it was really close to New Jersey. I had the pregnancy test stuffed into my bag and I was going to take it once we would get to the hotel. I was nervous. Luckily we didn't have a concert today. If I was pregnant that meant I was going to be a single mom, because if i had a child inside of me it was definitely Tom's. Not to mention that I never cheated on him. Charlie rushes us to the hotel room, I was nervous, very nervous. We walk into my hotel room. "Have you ever taken one of these?" Charlie asks me.
   "No. I mean I haven't really even had many intercourses, probably just Tom's and my first time but he wore a condom." I mention, remembering Tom. I almost cry until I decide to go into the bathroom. Charlie for some reason knew to buy three pregnancy tests. I handle all of them and wait for five minutes as it told me to.
   "Is everything alright?" I hear Charlie's voice from the other side. I was laying down on the rug as it felt very great, since I haven't had laid down for a while. I wasn't tired but for some reason it seemed like it as my back relaxed against the white wooly rug.
   "Yup, just waiting five minutes." I responded, closing my eyes feeling relieved. I sit up and check the tests. Only to see the two lines. I grab the tests, I was crying, I didn't know how I was supposed to deal with a child. No I didn't want an abortion, I was just going to have a child and live my life. I exit the bathroom to face Charlie. He looks at me, I show him the tests. He immediately hugs me.
   "This may not be the best time to tell you, but you have to tell Tom," he says, at the worst time.
   "I can't, there's no way I'm telling Tom." I spoke pulling away from the hug.
   "Ellie he's your baby daddy. And if you won't tell him I will, because you need some type of support. Cause there's no way you are continuing the tour whilst being pregnant" Charlie, well in my eyes felt like he scolded me. He grabs my phone and it seemed like I should've never given him my password which was 6.1.96
   "Charlie, I'm going to be heading home anyways I'll be with Harrison, he will probably hate Tom for the rest of his life, but it's better than being supported by him." I lightly spoke. Sadly it was to late as Charlie was on the phone with Tom.
   "Hey Tom.. it's actually not Ellie it's Charlie... uh no she isn't like you, she didn't cheat. Well even if she did would it be considered cheating... oh sorry pal... anyway Ellie has something to tell you.. and she probably isn't taking you back but anyway." Charlie stops talking and passes me the phone. I give him the death stare and put the phone up to my ear.
   "Hello?" I hear from the other side of the phone. His voice sounded deeper, he sounded desperate for an answer. Like he was fishing for me to just eat the food off the hook and he would just fish me out.
   "H-hi... I-i can't do this, just t-tell him Ch-Charlie." I say the last part away from the phone. Charlie grabs the phone.
   "Tom, Ellie is pregnant with your child" as he says those words I go into his arms, which he engulfs me in. Feeling remorse for me. Charlie tells him the plan about me going home. Charlie holds the phone next to my ear. I hear Tom's voice. He confesses his love, I missed him, but as much as I did, I couldn't take him back, he's been proved unfaithful 2 times already, and who knows how long it'll take him till he learns.
Next day
   I was ready to leave and the management had already replaced me with Charlie's girlfriend who was also a singer. I was heading to the airport with my management, this time we weren't caught up with anyone. The flight was 4 hours long, since it was just New York to LA it wasn't far.
1 year ago
   I was sitting in the large bathtub, having a nice bath. There were bubbles and rose petals. I was waiting for Tom, since I heard what all happened in his day. It was all bad, someone had spilt coffee on him, but he let it go since he was pretty nice. Except the person was rude, and decided to spill more of the coffee on him. Another thing was that he got caught in the storm that was still going on. He forgot his keys at his office, and lastly he didn't have enough money for food and a drink, because he spent his money on something else and forgot his card here. I hear the bathroom door open and I look up to see Tom. I smile at the fact that he already seemed a lot more relaxed. I bend my legs a bit that way there was more room. "Hello, Darling" he greeted.
   "Hi, I thought you would love to join me in the tub. Especially since you got caught in the storm."
   "Of course" He said as he started stripping off his clothes. I laughed, as he did the joke about struggling to take of his shirt. There were a few candles lit so Tom turns off the light and sits in the tub, as soon as he's comfortable he places his hands on my hips and pulls me into his lap. My lips attach onto his, my arms wrap around his neck.
Present time
   I let the tears fall down my cheek as I enter the bathroom, Harrison wasn't home which was sad, but he knew what happened. He knew about Tom cheating and my pregnancy. He was fully supportive. I start the shower and start feeling quite lucky about being pregnant, but not about the fact of being a single mother. I put my foot on the cold marble floor of the shower. It soon turned hot considering the warm water was hitting the floor.
