Chapter 20

~ Jenna's POV ~

I'm so nervous I can't think straight. When I finally found my gate at the stopover in Amsterdam I thought I was going to kiss the ground. Now I have nine hours to kill on the flight to Detroit. Marshall had got me the nicest tickets in business class so it's going to be a very comfortable trip. But to be up in the air for that long was truly scaring me. I just need to concentrate on what's waiting at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

I have to buy some really good gifts to Chrissy for helping me to sort it all out. She took on this whole trip like a master of planning and she even gave me a lift to the airport this morning.

The other day we went shopping for new clothes. I am not too keen to the whole shop 'till you drop thing, so she helped me out with some outfits. I mostly wear jeans or something, but she insisted. I think back to when we took a break at a café and she asked me something that I still blush to think of.

"So, Jenna, remember when we were at ours and I asked you if you were pregnant?" she peered at me. I wonder how long she had been thinking of that question. "I recollect that you told me something like 'we need to talk about that later' or something. What did you mean by that?"

Oh my God, my cheeks were burning and my brain seemed to have lost all contact with my oral organs because I couldn't say anything, I just stared at her.

"We need to discuss your plan of birth control, honey" she said like I was a teenager with my first boyfriend, which I practically was but older. She leaned in and took my hands and I looked at her through my lashes.

"What?" I whispered.

"Do you think that you and Marshall is going to have sex when you visit him?" she asked as if it was the most natural conversation in the world.

"No!" I burst out and started to look around to see if anyone could hear us.

Chrissy frowned and observed me thorough and nodded slowly. I couldn't look at her this was too awkward. My face lit up like a fire and I just wanted to get out of there. I tried to stand, but her hands gripped mine tighter and I sat down again.

"Jenna sweetie, this is very important. You don't want to be unprepared for these situations. You told me that it got a little heated between you two in London, right. That was after spending three days with him, now you're going to live in his house for weeks. Even if you're not prepared for anything like that and you don't have to have sex with him, I think that it can happen anyway. He's not allowed to push you into something you don't want to do, but I have the feeling that you might want to".

She wasn't rambling on, no she was very calm and informative. I had nothing to say, but I tried anyway.

"Chrissy, I ... I don't know. He makes me feel ... it's weird but, ... I can't even ..." my cheeks crimson and I totally was out of my mind of something to say that sounded something like an answer.

"You know what, I'm going to call my gynecologist and see if she has some emergency appointment we can get. She's the best, she always knows what to do". At this time if felt as the earth was going to open up and swallow me whole.

Two hours later we sat in Doctor Peter's office and discussed options for me, I mean they discussed and I thought that I should die of embarrassment.

"Jenna, the best contraceptive is of course condoms, especially if you don't know your partner very well" Dr. Peter smiled.

Oh please God, kill me now.

"But they do hold back a bit of the feeling between the man and the woman and you also have to be careful that they don't slip off. You have to use them every single time you have sex". More smiles.
