Chapter 22: Everest’s POV

                Tears weld in my eyes after another unsuccessful night. I knew what would happen next. I sat on the bed in my bedroom while Andy was at band practice. I didn’t think he really picked up on the situation. But we have had sex before. 4 times the past month without a condom. It was of course, on purpose.

                I wasn’t going to get pregnant.

                I grabbed my keys off the counter as I had my body strap purse on. I was going to the doctor’s office to be checked out to see if my unfortunate prediction was true. When I was in my car, I thought of the appointment and I felt tears in my eyes. I shoved the keys in and I put the car into drive.

                I soon saw the hospital in site. I turned my car into the parking lot. I parked the car and I immediately headed towards the hospital. I walked in, waited for my name to be called as I checked myself in. Soon, 10 minutes later, Everest was yelled out.

                I already felt my heart beating insanely and the doctor didn’t even know the situation. I sat down on chair and I smiled at my doctor, Dr. Hensel. “Hello Ms. Stone how are you?” He asked me.

                “I’m good…” I trailed off. “There’s a problem though.” I said to him. “I need to know if I’m infertile. I haven’t been able to get pregnant.” I said to him. “I’m just getting married soon and I don’t know if my fiancée would want me if I’m infertile.” I explained.

                “We’ll have to do some tests.” He said and I nodded. We both stood up and we went to do some tests. He handed me a urine cup on our way out and pointed towards the bathroom. I nodded as I took it, walking the other direction.

                After that awkward moment where you accidentally get urine on your hand. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has done that during a urine sample. Either way I had enough to give as a sample. He told me he would have the answer tonight and keep my cellphone off silent.

                I could barely eat, work, stay still, basically anything while I waited impatiently at the house. Andy noticed my tension and tried to get me to talk. “Come on, tell me.” He said to me but I shook my head. “I think I know.” He whispered. I looked into his eyes. “You can’t get pregnant.” He said.

                “How did you know?” I whispered. He put an arm around me and looked into my eyes.

                “I thought we’d have a baby by now and I knew something was wrong but I didn’t want dump such a depressing idea onto you when I know you really want a baby.” He said to me. “If you’re infertile, I’ll still love you. We don’t need a baby. Just us.” He smiled, kissing my forehead.

                Then. My phone ringed.

                I turned my head quickly as I went for my cellphone. I pressed answer and I put the phone to my ear. “Hello is this Ms. Stone?” The familiar voice of my doctor as me.

                “Yes, this is she.”

                “Hello! This is Dr. Hensel with your test results.” I could feel the sadness in his voice that was trying it’s hardest to be hidden. I felt tears hit my eyes already because I knew what was coming. I could feel is sympathy that I didn’t want. “I’m sorry to tell you that you are infertile.” He said.

                Andy’s arm wrapped around me, he kissed my head as he wiped away my cold tears. “Thank you, good night.” I said, my voice cracked twice before hanging up and then sobbing into Andy’s chest as my phone was dropped on the bed.

                “Baby, it’s okay.” He whispered as he rubbed my back soothingly. “We can always adopt.” He smiled. I shook my head.

                “I don’t want to adopt. I want a baby of our own.” I cried.

                “We can still try, we can try and pray that we’ll have a baby of our own.” He said. I nodded as I laid on his chest. We stayed like that most of the night till I felt like I lost all tears and I was just coughing my emotions out.

                The next morning I stayed in bed till there was a knock on my bedroom door. I was lying under the covers in a ball. “Who is it?” I mumbled loudly into the pillow.

                “It’s Kaitlyn and Julia.” I heard Kaitlyn say. They opened the door slowly as they went to sit on the edge of my bed. “Hey Everest, we heard what happened and were really sorry to hear what’s going on with you and Andy.”

                “I’m still praying you’ll have a baby.” Julia said. Something was up. I sat up and I felt their eyes go to me in surprise that I sat up so sharply. “What?” Julia asked me and I looked at the two.

                “Something’s up and you’re avoiding to tell me. It’s about a baby…” I said to them. Kaitlyn sighed as she ran a hand through her copper red hair. “You’re pregnant with Ashley’s baby….” I looked her way. She had almost a guilty expression on her face. A smile grew on my face. “Congratulations.”

                “You’re not upset?” She said, in shock. I shook my head.

                “No, I’m happy for you. I’ll feel like an Aunt.” I smiled.

                “I want to say one thing.” Julia said and we turned our heads. “Kaitlyn was having a difficult time deciding the god parents for her baby between you and me.” She said. “Everest, I want you to be the god parent. You and Andy. You deserve it. You’re a better fit for parents than me and Ben.”

                “I’m so family oriented.” Ben chuckled, poking his head through the open doorway. I could tell by the way he said it and the grin on his face that he already knew what Julia was doing. “Still congratulations Kaitlyn and god parent Everest.”
