14- Falling apart

Lexi's P.O.V.

I was laying in our bed, looking up at the ceiling. It's been three months since Lucas's sentencing. I was still numb to the fact that he wasn't here with me. How am I going to go on without him? Jack said that even with good behavior he probably wouldn't get out any earlier. This was killing me!

A wave of nausea hit me, hard. I hurried up and ran to the bathroom; throwing up what I had for breakfast.

I sat down on the bathroom floor, leaning back against the wall.

Three months... Oh no!

I got up, took a long shower, brushed my teeth and put on some fresh clothes. When another wave of nausea hit me.

I sat back, leaning against the wall again. This can't be happening, Lucas needed to be here for this.

There was a knock at the door, "Come in." I yelled.

"Hey Girly." Max beamed.

"I'm in here."

Max walked into the bathroom with a smirk on his face, but that went away when he saw me on the floor.

"Oh my God, what the hell happened?" He knelt down by my side.

I broke down and started balling. He wrapped me up in a hug, "Lexi, are you alright? What happened?"

I was sobbing, I couldn't control it. He just let me cry without asking anymore questions. After a good while, I finally calmed down and had my head resting on his chest.

"I think I'm pregnant." I whispered.

"What? Are you serious?"

I sat up, nodding my head.

His eyes were big. "Ohhh... well I wasn't expecting you to say that, but that's exciting news, right?"

"It is, but it would be even better if Lucas was here with me, Max!"

"Shit, I know Lex. What do you need from me?"

"Can you get me a pregnancy test? I don't want anyone knowing yet, especially the media."

"Of course I will, Ummm do you need anything else while I'm out?"

"You could pick up my mom's birthday gift, I bought her that handbag-"

"You're going to make me go into that prissy store?" He teased, interrupting me.

I started laughing, "I just thought, it was an excuse to leave."

"I was just kidding, of course I'll go. I'll be back in a little bit. Go lay down and rest." He helped me off the floor and kissed my cheek. "It's going to be alright, Lex."

*****
A few hours had passed and must have fallen asleep because I woke to the sound of a light knock.

Max walked in, and shut the door. He sat down next to me on the bed and moved the hair from my face.

"How are you feeling?"

"Like shit."

"I got the test, your mom's gift and a few other things for you." He put the bag on the bed.

I sat up as he handed me the test. I went rushing into the bathroom, pulling out the test as I started reading the directions. I peed on the stick as directed and put the cap back on the end; setting it down on the sink. I was waiting for the results, this was going to be the longest few minutes of my life. I looked over at it, nothing yet. I started pacing the floor, a few minutes later I went over to check it again...
