I was pacing back and forth, back and forth. I could help it. This couldn't be happening not now, Sam was just about to leave for idol and I couldn't do anything to jeopardize that and I wouldn't be able to hide it that long. It probably would only be a month before would start showing. I was sure that I was getting myself worked up over nothing yet I needed confirmation. The second my aunt pulled in the drive way I flew to the door.
"Here you go Tatum." She said as I grabbed the bag abruptly.
"Hey, no matter what that test says I'm here for you, and I'm always going to be. We will get through anything that we have to together alright? I know I'm always working but I love you so much Tatum, I only want what's best for you. Do you want me to wait? Or would you rather I go back to work and let you have some time?" I knew that she really cared I always knew that, I had never understood why she worked so much until right now and it all made sense.
"Stay." I said as I walked to the bathroom.
"Okay honey, I'll be out here"
I looked in the more I and took a depth breath, my eyes flickering shut and my hand shaking a little bit I tore open the package. I just stared at it for a minute I was beyond nervous. I was scared to death and not because I was afraid of being pregnant, but because I was afraid of not being a good enough mother and I was afraid of my baby growing up without a father.
I sat down on the toilet, it took me a minute to pee, I think I was so nervous that even my bladder was shaking.
5 minutes I had to wait 5 whole minutes which felt like an eternity. When the time was up I took another deep breath before picking up the pregnancy test strip.


Positive. My heart Sank.
