Baby Boy! Chapter 9!
~1 Month Later~"You're safe, honey, no diseases," the doctor said. "But, I would recommend taking a pregnancy test. I'm guessing you are sexually active, considering the amount of times you get checked. I understand you use protection, but it doesn't always work," the doc advised. "It's a good idea, just to be safe."
"Alright, thanks. Would you be able to do that?" Meggie asked. "Like right now?"
The doc checked his watch. "I suppose. I have a little while before the nest appointment," he said.
After the test was done, the doctor said; "I'll have the nurse call you later on today with the results," he said, smiling.
"Alright, doctor. Thank you," Meggie said, leaving.
Later on that day: Meggie was laying down on her bed, listening to music when the phone rang. "Hello?" she said, picking it up.
"Hello, is this Meggie Brandis?"
"Yes, this is she," Meggie replied.
"This is Nurse Graham. I have your test results. Ms. Brandis, you are 1 month pregnant. Dr. Johnson would like to see you on Friday at 3:00 for a check up," the nurse said.
"Wait, wait, wait, back up. I'm pregnant?!?" Meggie said, not believing what she just heard.
"Yes, I'm sorry. You are, in fact, one month pregnant," the nurse repeated.
"Are you positive?" Meggie asked.
"Yes. Now, please don't forget about your appointment," the nurse warned.
"I won't," Meggie said. "Thank you." She hung up the phone, still stunned at the news she just recieved.
Suddenly, her door swung open, and in barged Nick. "Hey Meggie, guess what? I was thinkin' on the way over here, it was only 1 month ago that we made love," he said. Meggie turned pale. "What's wrong?" he asked, noticing the change in color on her face.
"Nick, are you positive it has been 1 month?" she asked, slowly.
He nodded his head. "Yes, why? What's wrong, Meggie? You're beginning to scare me," Nick demanded.
Meggie sighed, and sat down. "What I'm about to tell you will surprise the hell out of you. I'm...umm...I'm pregnant. 1 month pregnant to be exact," Meggie said, shaking like crazy.
"You're...you're...you're 1 month pregnant?" Nick asked.
"Yes, I am so unbelievably sorry. I don't know what else to say," Meggie said, tears flooding her eyes.
"It's not all your fault. I helped," he said.
"No shit," Meggie mumbled.
"So, what are we going to do?" Nick asked, quietly.
"I don't know what you're going to do, but 8 months from now, I'm having me a baby," Meggie said.
"Are you assuming that I don't want anything to do with this baby?" Nick asked, his voice raising a little bit. He was sorta mad that the thought even crossed her mind.
"Nick, alot of guys your age would run from this type of thing," Meggie said.
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe I'm not most guys my age?" Nick asked, sounding madder then he meant to be.
Meggie took a step back, surprised. "I'm sorry, Nick. I just thought -," she started.
Nick interupted. "I'm not goin' no where, babe. I plan to be a big part of our baby's and your life," Nick promised.
Meggie breathed a sigh of relief. And then the tears started to fall. "God Nick, I am so scared," she cried.
Nick didn't know what to say, so he just wrapped his arms around her, and held her as long as she needed him to.
"Nicky, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't the father," Meggie said. "Speaking of fathers, mine is going to kill me."
"You're an adult. There is nothing he can do," Nick said.
"How come your so calm?" Meggie wondered.
"Someone's gotta be," he said, rubbing her cheek, softly.
