Scary possibilities

When I woke the next morning, I was feeling really sick. My stomach was twisting and I felt lots of nausea. It was really early in the morning, but I decided to eat something to calm down my stomach. So, I hopped out of bed, silently walked to the kitchen and made breakfast for myself, trying to be as quiet as possible not to wake up my gorgeous boyfriend who was still asleep. What I wasn't expecting was that as soon as I felt the food on my mouth, it made my nausea get worse, and I had to hurry to the bathroom to throw up.

Chester was wakened up by that awful sound which made him jump and run to the bathroom, to find me kneeling in front of the toilette.

"Baby," he rushed to aid me, by pulling my hair away from my face, while he rubbed a hand in my back.

"Go away," I tried to say, while another urge to throw up came over me. "I don't want you to see this."

Chester chuckled and ignored my attempts to shove him away from the bathroom, offering his hand to help me get up.

"What happened?" He asked, helping me to go over the sink to brush my teeth.

"I don't know. I woke up feeling sick, ate something but, clearly, it turned on me."

"Morning sickness?" He said playfully. "Are you pregnant?"

I muffled a laugh while I was brushing my teeth, punching Chester in his arm in a playful way. There was no way I was pregnant, it was probably something that I ate. I tried to remember my last meals, but my mind was clouded by other thoughts.

Chester noticed how my smile slowly faded away, and a terrified expression took over me.

I stopped brushing my teeth.

"What day is it today?"

"Friday, why?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.

I gulped hard. Widened my eyes. Shook my head.

"Ana, what is it?"

"Oh, fuck. Nope, no. No -- it's - I can't -- " I started rambling and Chester was getting really scared of my behavior. He grabbed me by my shoulder, turned my body to face him and shook me.

"What the hell is wrong?"

I looked into his beautiful shiny brown eyes that can melt me even if I'm in north pole, freezing to death - which was metaphorically happening at the moment.

"My period... It was supposed to come on Monday... Monday! And today it's Friday," I pulled my own hair roots.

Chester, on the other hand, didn't react. He looked like he saw a ghost. He was pale and seemed like he could collapse at any moment.

"I didn't forget the pill, so this can't be right, -- right? I -- I must be stressed about university. I mean, I'm almost finishing my studies and... oh God, I can't be pregnant right now. I need to finish my studies first. I can't --"

"Ana," Chester said in a stern tone, making me stop talking and look at him. "There's no point in being anxious. Let's get a pregnancy test and we'll think about that after, alright?"

I nodded my head, not being completely convinced.

"Now, let's take a shower and we'll go to a drug store together, ok?"

"Ok..." I muttered, a little too scared to even move away from the sink.

Chester turned on the hot water and took off his clothes. If I wasn't so shocked, I'd be very pleased with the view, but I couldn't even think about it.

He helped me undress and washed me as I stood there, utterly petrified.

"Ana, baby, look at me," he sighed, as he noticed how terrified I looked. "I'm sure this is just stress taking over you, but if it's not, I'm here with you and I am not going anywhere. It's scary, but as long as I'm by your side, I'm happy. Alright?"
