Take the art class they said, it will be fun they said, what's the worst that could happen they said. I mentally curse myself as I sat on the toilet holding a pregnancy test, waiting for the results. I didn't even want to come to this party but somehow this is where I found myself. I don't know how I let this happen. I never thought I would be sitting here, I never thought I would be the one worrying about whether my future is at stake or not. Any second now, my life will be decided. Just when the words began to form on the small screen of the test, my train of thought was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Hurry up man, some of us have to take a piss" shouted the voice from the other side of the locked door.
"Just wait a god damn minute, go take a piss in the bushes you ass hat," I responded equally as loud.
It went quite, I assumed the stranger had left but a few seconds later he spoke up. "Lily, is that you? What are you doing in the bathroom?"
"Noah, what the fuck are you doing here? Jesus, hurry up and get in here." I said, unlocking the door and letting him in before the whole world saw me.
"What are you doing Lily? Why are you in here if you aren't actually using the bathroom." He questioned
"Noah, I have something to show you but please don't get mad that I didn't tell you before." I pulled the pregnancy test from behind my back and his eyes went wide.
"Holy shit, Is that yours?" he said in a low and concerned voice.
"Yeah, I am afraid to see what it says. I don't know what we are going to do if I am pregnant." I sat on to the floor and put my head between my legs.
I felt Noah sit down next to me and put his arm around me. " Lily, no matter what it says, I am here with you. I am not going anywhere. We will get through this okay."
"Okay, but you look at it and tell me what it says." I held out the test for him to take.
"Lil, we better start looking for options. Holy fuck, I am going to be a father." He stood up, and lifted me up by my waist, and held me. " I love you, baby, don't you ever forget that. Now let's get the fuck out of here"
"You know if you are going to be a dad you might want to stop saying fuck so much." I giggled.
"Fuck, your right, I mean shit, I mean shoot." He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and smiled.
" Let's go home, Noah. Well your place, or mine, I don't know. We are going to have to get our own place soon."
We pulled up to his house and I took a deep breath in. I had no idea what I was going to tell my parents, I mean I was 19, they can't make me do anything, I am an adult. Their opinions did still matter though. We made our way up to the front door, and I fumbled with Noah's keys trying to get the door unlocked before he took the keys from my hand and unlocked it with one swift motion. God, I love him so damn much, I am just glad he is on board with this whole baby thing. We both walked to the living room and sat down on the couch. I kicked my shoes off and curled up close to Noah, he bent down and pulled off his boots before he laid down and pulled me closer to him.
"How the hell are we going to tell our parents Noah? What if they disown us, or worse make us get rid of the baby." I blurted out.
"Lily, first of all, my parents love you, two they are our PARENTS, they aren't going to make us get rid of the baby, and we are 19, they can't make us do shit."
Just as I opened my mouth, the door swung open and his parents came through the door groceries in hand. "I'm PREGNANT!" I shouted out. Both his mom and his dad turned their heads and his mom dropped everything in her hands. A few glass jars broke before but nobody really seemed to notice.
"YOUR WHAT." His mom shouted. I didn't expect her to react like this, maybe I shouldn't have forced it upon them.
"I'm pregnant, I don't know how this happened. We were always careful, we used condoms, I am on birth control, Oh shit it could have happened last week at the cabin, we didn't use a condom, but he pulled out, although that isn't always effective."
"LILY, why are you telling my parents about our sex life." He shouted, his cheek were very red and I could tell I had embarrassed everyone.
"Lily, Noah, You guys didn't do anything wrong, we are just shocked, I guess." His mom said while picking up the backs she had dropped. "We still love you guys and we support whatever decision you make" she smiled
"Yes mom we know you guys will, we are keeping it, we decided that as soon as we found out." he smiled back at his mom.
"When did you guys find out about you know, the baby." his dad finally spoke up from inside the fridge.
"Well I took a test about an hour ago, but I missed my period last month and I have just felt off."
"Ok Lily, I think you and I should go to Planned Parenthood whenever you are up to it so we can get you a more accurate test." she smiled
After having a long talk with his parents Noah and I decided to head to bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.
