Hegarty's Whore

chapter 6 - figure it out

*four months later.*
Carlos and his friend Leo sat at a table in the back corner of the maths class.
"Do you think she's got fatter?" Leo asked his friend.
"What, do you think m/t is pregnant?" Carlos chuckled.
"Oh god dont put that cursed image into my brain." Leo rubbed his head and sighed.
He often thought about killing his maths teacher. She was so annoying. The bloody woman acted like such an angel, but she was really just a demon.
Leo looked at his sheet of algebraic fractions.
"Miss?" He held his hand up. "I dont understand question six."
"Figure it out." Miss M/T replied, putting at the stupid child.
M/T put her hand on her swelling stomach. She had the urge to be sick, but she didnt know why.
"Sorry class, I'll be back in a minute." She got up and sped to the teachers bathroom where she was sick in the toilet.
She wondered if it had anything to do with her lack of a period for the past four cycles. Could she be... pregnant?
She washed her face and looked into the mirror to see her bulging eyes staring back at her.
She would get a pregnancy test after school.
She went back to class and carried on with the lesson.

M/T walked into the chemist and bought herself a test.
She wrote the date down on her hand,
26th of february, and drove home.
She did the kit and waited.
To relieve her stress, she set loads of homework for every class she had.
When the time was up, she went and checked her test.
Positive. She was pregnant.
"M/T?" Colin called up the stairs.
"I'll be down in a second." She called back.
Fumbling with the kit, she pushed it to the back of the medicine cupboard.
"Look at this." Colin called from the living room. "Corona Virus puts wu han into lockdown." He read from the news. "Hey babe, are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Colin... I'm pregnant."
They both sat in shocked silence.
"When is it due?" He asked.
"May."

A/n I'm so sorry
