Our Babies

chapter 9

(test 5)

POV Hattie

( October 9th)
      I jump out of bed running to the bathroom, my stomach lurching. I empty my stomach leaning over the toilet. I lean back holding my hair up for a second, before getting off the floor. I rinse my mouth with some mouthwash, before throwing my hair into a bun. I hear a soft knock on the bathroom door "Hattie? Are you okay?" I hear the small voice of Maggie through the door.

     "Yeah I'm good baby girl." I say opening the door to the little five year old. I pick her up and place her on my hip, tickling her a little as she wiggles. I walk into our room tossing her on to my bed making her giggle. I grab some clothes and toss them in my bag along with my band shoes. I finish packing and toss my bag on my shoulder and pick up Maggie. I walk into the living room setting my bag down by the couch. I walk into the kitchen and set Maggie on the counter, and turn to grab her a bowl. I pour her some granola and put yogurt, blueberries, and strawberries over it. She crawls over to the island chair and slips of the counter and into the chair. I set her food down infront of her as she giggles. "Do you like it? Mags." I ask her

     "Yes sissy thank you." She says taking another bite I smile and grab a kale smoothie from the fridge. I sit next to Maggie as I scroll on my phone and drinking my smoothie.

     "Good morning beautiful's how are my girls?" My grandmother greets us as she walks in the kitchen.

     "Good Gram's but remember I have a competition today and I'm spending the night at Calli's after." I say reminding her, I gulp down the rest of my drink. " I'm going to get dressed and then I have to leave." I say giving her a smile, before going to get dressed. I throw on my band shirt, a hoodie, a pair of sweats, and some tennis shoes. I walk back to the living room and grab my bag and give Maggie a kiss. "Okay I got to go, love you and give grampa and Luca a kiss for me." I say before leaving our apartment I walk down the stairs and out to my car. I get in and head to get Jake, blasting the radio as I drive. I park in front of his house and check my text, to see one from Calli.

    "Hey, do you want me to bring you a test?" I read the text while waiting for Jake. I send back a quick yes as Jake gets in the car giving me a quick kiss. I head to the school, but as I park I get super nauseous again. I quickly hop out of my car and run to the trashcan at the bottom of the stairs.As I'm throwing up I feel a very soft hand rubbing my back and holding my hair. I finish and sit up to see who was helping me, I'm greeted by Laya's soft smile.

     "You should probably take a test" she says handing me my case, I smile and nod. " I told Jake to go in and that I'll make sure your ok." She tells me when she sees me looking around for him. She reaches into her bag and pulls out a few lollipops and hands them to me. "They help with nausea, and I have tons." She says before grabbing one for her self, as we head to the band building.

     "Have y'all seen Calli?" Chad ask us when we walked in to the main band room. Laya glares for a second before smiling and shaking her head no. We walk to our band lockers where Jake is.

     "Hey babe, feeling better?" He says turning away from his conversation with a freshman trumpet player. I give him a nod and set my instrument down next to me.

     "Okay well Calli is waiting for us so we'll be back." She smiled pulling me away, I send her a questioning look. "I know where Calli is I'm just not telling Chad." She says as we walk to the bathrooms, she opens the door to the bathroom and we go in.

     "Hey chica your test should be in my bag top pocket." Calli smiles at me before pulling up here hair. "Hurry up we have to leave soon." she says before going into a stall. I give a small nod and Liz who was sitting on the counter handed me a small cup. I go into the stall and set the test on a ledge next to me. Once I finish I unwrap the test and dip it.
