After a few minutes Joel came in and asked me what was wrong. Then I hugged Joel it was only a few seconds but I never wanted those few seconds to end. Ever. But they did. Because I threw up into the toilet again. I hated this why did this have to happen to me?

//1 week later\\

As I was throwing up in the toilet again, Which had happened every day since it first started, I came to a realization. I might be pregnant. So I went to the store and bought a pregnancy test. When I got home I hid it in my bra drawer and waited for Joel to get home from school.

//3 hours later\\

"Joel" I said, holding up the pregnancy test. "I think I'm pregnant" "go take the test then" he replied. I went into the bathroom and took the test. I waited for an hour to look. I didn't want to know. Then finally me and Joel walked into the bathroom and looked at the test. It was positive. "No!!" I yelled. "I can't be pregnant!!" "It's okay Lizzie" Joel said. "No it's not!!" "Mom will hate me!!"

//After sitting on the bathroom floor for two hours\\

"I'll go tell my mom" I finally said, breaking the silence. I went down to the living room and saw my mom. "Mom" "yes hunny?" She replied. "I'm... Pregnant!" "Pregnant!!!" I burst into tears. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!" She screamed. I went up stairs to get my stuff and tell Joel. "Joel..." I said. "She kicked me out" "well we can stay at my house" "o-okay"

When we got to his house I immediately ran to his bed and laid down. Niethier of us could drive despite our age. So I was really tired as our houses are five blocks apart. I laid there for a while. And fell asleep.

Joel's POV

//2 days later\\

Lizzie still hadn't woken up and it had been two days. I decided I was going to take her to the hospital. So my mum drove us to the emergency room and I explained what happened. I started to panic. What if something was wrong with the baby?!

Lizzie's POV

I woke up to someone placing something cold on my chest over and over again. The last thing I remembered was going to Joel's house. Did something happen that I could not remember? Was there a fire? I realized I was hooked up to an IV. After all the strange people left me alone I ripped out the IV and ran out the door. I saw Joel and ran to him. I hugged him and just as he was about to kiss me, I woke up to someone pressing something cold on my chest. Over and over again. "What's going on?" I was hooked up to an IV. "You almost died Mrs. Dwyern. "Almost died?! What happened!?" Where was Joel? "Where is Joel?!" As if on cue Joel burst in and asked if I was okay. "Joel!" I said excitedly. Then two of the people in the room dragged him out. Suddenly I remembered the baby. "Is the baby alright!" I asked. Of course none of them knew I was pregnant so they didn't know what to say. "I'm pregnant" "we don't yet know if the baby is okay" this upset me. Then Joel one again tried to get into the room. "Let him in!" I said. "Do you know him?" "Yes, he's my boyfriend" then they let him in and I held out my hands for Joel to hug me. Then they told Joel they had one more test to do and he left the room. I laid down as they put cool gel on my stomach. Then they pulled out some type of wand thingy and rubbed it over the gel. It was attached to a screen. I looked at the screen, and I saw my baby. "Can Joel see the baby too?" "Sure" the doctor said. Joel came in and lit up when he saw the baby for the first time. "That's our baby" I said, my eyes watering. Joel kissed me. "I love you Lizzie and I love you to little baby, I love you" he said.

I was released from the hospital and me and Joel went to see Yammy, and Sasha. "Yammy, Sasha!" I yelled when I saw them. Then I realized they didn't know I was pregnant. "I'm pregnant!" "Eeeeeeeee" Yammy and Sasha both squealed, jumping up and down. Then someone knocked on the door. I went to the door and opened it. "Oli."
