-Excerpt from the story -
"Where did you think you were going, huh!" He screamed.
"I just assumed-" I...
Lately, I've been feeling sick, I don't go around anyone besides Jay so I don't know who I could have gotten it from. Since it's summer, I spend most of my days in my bed. Jay says I should go to the doctor, but I don't have money to pay for that. Anyways Jay had to go on a business trip for a few days, so I'm alone in the house. He's supposed to get back tomorrow, and I'm happy about that.
Cindy has been coming over and hanging out with me, but lately, she's been acting weird. She's coming over tonight because she says she has something to give me. I don't really like accepting gifts, but I don't want to be rude. When she got to the house she had a small bag from some gas station and a grin on her face. She practically pushed me upstairs and into my room. I was very confused, but let her move me nonetheless. Once we entered my room she told me to sit down.
"Ok, I got you a pregnancy test," she said.
"I'm not pregnant," I said.
"I can tell, you're having morning sickness and your skin is glowing," she said, "Just take the test, please."
I grabbed the test and sighed. She started mumbling something excitedly, but I was already closing the door to the bathroom. I peed on the little stick and put it on a paper towel before leaving the room.
"It doesn't work that fast did you already take it?" she asked.
"Yeah I did, it's on the counter," I said and laid on my bed.
15 minutes later
I walked back into the bathroom after a few minutes with Cindy close behind me. I kinda felt scared, I realized Jay hadn't ever used a condom for the past 7 months. I slowly picked up the test and saw two lines. I couldn't tell if I was happy or terrified, but I was crying for one of the reasons. I sank into Cindy's arms and walked me to my bed where we sat down.
"You're gonna be a fantastic mom, when do you want to tell him?" she asked.
"I guess when he gets back tomorrow," I muttered.
"Do you just want to tell him, or should we plan something," she asked, "If we plan we're gonna have to do it quickly."
"Can we do something simple, maybe?" I asked while wiping my eyes.
"Thats ok dear, what do you have in mind?" she asked.
"I have a porcelain crib from my father that he got for me as a baby, I think it could fit a test," I said.
"That's perfect!" she exclaimed, "Go and get it!"
I went to my closet and got the small crib. My grandparents had bought the crib for my father, and he passed it down to me. I desperately wanted to remember the good memories I had of him, but I could help resenting him.
"Here it is!" I said and showed her the crib.

"Ok! let's put the test in there," Cindy said before grabbing the test.
"That sounds good," I said.
Cindy left a little while after that, and put the test on my nightstand. I was scared Jay wouldn't want the baby, but I had to tell him. I've always be pro-choice, but I don't think I could get an abortion. There was a lot to think about, but I tried to stay present. Jay had told me he wanted to get married and have kids but he never said when. I realized that hadn't checked my phone since Cindy got here. I unlocked it and I wasn't surprised at the messages.
Jay- Hey hru?
Jay- Are you ok?
Jay- Is something wrong?
Jay- Why aren't you responding?
Jay- ANSWER ME
Jay- ANSWER ME, YOU FUCKING BITCH
Jay- I'm sorry, I'm just worried
Jay- Really!?Jay- I'll deal with you when I get home
Jay- Just you wait.
Those were only some of the messages, but I didn't feel like reading them all. I debated on whether or not I should just go to sleep, but I knew he would be even madder. I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. The phone rang once and he had already responded.
"What the fuck is wrong with!" he screamed.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't on my phone," I said.
"What the hell were you doing then!" he yelled.
"I was doing something, but I can't tell you what" I said.
"So you were fucking some dude?" he asked in a threatening tone.
"I've never cheated on you!" I said, "I promise I wasn't doing anything I was with your mom," I said.
"You could even ask her we were together all evening," I said.
He just hung up after that, but I was too tired to care. I set an alarm two hours before he would be home, and went to sleep.
