BEING HALSEY

CHAPTER 81

Two weeks later....

I'm throwing up.

Again!

I've been having morning sickness for the last two weeks. It's fuckin crazy and disturbing and I'm always moody and I hate the smell of food.

Aargh!

And did I mention how much I hate Tray?

Funny, but yes! I hate him.

It's been six weeks now since my last----Well, you know what. So that means am two weeks overdue.

That's the first sign of pregnancy, right?

I look down at my flat stomach and Imagine how it'll be when it starts getting big. How if possible I'm pregnant, (WHICH I'M NOT) would be like carrying another human inside me.

Will it be a girl or a boy?

I want it to be a girl, a little mini-me with my beautiful eyes and my nicely shaped nose and---Oh my god! Why am I even thinking about this?

" Hal?" Tray calls through the bathroom door.

" Are you alright, you've been stuck in there for the last twenty minutes. Is something wrong?"

" I'll be out in a minute," I yell back and stare at my reflection.

Tray is putting on his boots when I step out.

I climb up in bed and lay down, facing the window. He scoots over to me and lay his head on mine.

" Is there a problem, you've been acting a little strange these past few days. Is there something I should know?"

My heart is beating fast.

" No, I'm fine."

Tray gives me a long, searching, worried look.

" Are you sure?"

I nod my head and he plants a kiss on my forehead.

" I'm going out but I'll be back before dark."

He jumps off the bed and grab his coat.

I fake a smile and turn my gaze back to the window.

***

So since I don't have the guts to go to a hospital, I'm at a chemist. I walk straight to a whole shelf full of pregnancy test kits before bumping into one of my acquaintance. We both talk for a while and I pretend I'm looking for body lotions.

As soon as she's gone, I grab one kit, pay it and leave the store. I also text Polly and she replies instantly. I hail a cab and within fifteen minutes, the cabbie drops me at Polly's place.

Polly opens the door before I even ring the doorbell.

" Hal," She shrieks and pulls me in for a tight hug.

" Are you alone?" I ask her and step inside.

" Mhmm,"

We walk up to her room.

" So," She drops on her bed and I sit on the chair next to her huge mirror, " What's that something urgent you wanted to tell me."

" Promise me that whatever my decision is, you'll support me."

" Well, you're being creepy. What is it? Tell me already."

I sigh heavily and pull out the pregnancy test kit from my jeans.

Polly's eyes grow wide and she stands.

" OMG!" She says and I nod my head.

" I haven't tested yet but I already know...."

She holds my hands.

" Let's be hundred percent sure, okay?"

She leads me to her small bathroom and I do the necessary. I wash my hands after I've finished and wrap the kit with a piece of tissue.

I'm too scared for the results.

I resume my seat and place the kit on my lap.

" Ready?" Polly asks.

" Ready," I nod and unwrap the kit.

Two lines.

It's official,

I'M PREGNANT!
