Dirty Little Secret

Chapter Twenty-One

Chapter twenty-One:

A month later...

I roll out of bed in the morning and head to my bathroom. I look at my small calendar and get a pad out of my cabinet. A few minutes later I put the pad away. That’s odd, I'm never late... Confused, I looked at my calendar again. Did I mark it wrong? That must be it. I had to have marked it wrong.

I left my bathroom and almost walked straight into my mum on the way down the stairs. "Hey, little miss daydream," she smiled. "What's wrong?"

“Just tired.” I tell her. “I went to bed too late because of homework, but I'll be fine.”

"Okay, try and get some more sleep tonight." I nodded and she disappeared down the stairs.

I head into my room and start getting ready for school. Its now December so its much colder outside. I pull on some comfortable jeans a long sleeve and a sweater. I do my make-up and straighten my hair quickly. I put my scarf on and pull boots on. I then put my coat on and grab my bag. I head downstairs and say bye to my parents before leaving. I start walking to school. Elliott had to go in early today for basketball and Owen had to have breakfast with Erica.

Mist left my mouth as I took a deep breath as I got closer to school. Thoughts were running through my mind, but I pushed them back and just thought of the day ahead. I start thinking about this morning. I had to have just marked the day wrong. I mean there is now possible way that I could....Wait, Owen and I made love a little over a month ago. But we used protection...unless...I start running and I look for Owen. When I find him I grab his arm and pull him to where no one ever goes.

I grab his shirt pulling him close. “Did it break?” I growl.

“Did what break?” he asks

I let go of his shirt and push him against the wall, roughly. “Did the condom break?”

"Lani-bear, what?" He frowned. "Wait." His eyes widened. "You think you’re-?" I nod and look away from him. He's quiet as I bite my lip. What's he thinking? I cant look at him.

"Are you sure?" He finally asked, turning my head to look at him.

“I'm late, I've never been late.”

"Maybe we should go to the doctors? I don't know how this works," he frowned. I nod and take his hand pulling him with me out of the school and to his car. The car ride is silent. Both of us lost in our thoughts. What would happen if I was?

Once at the doctor's we get out of his car and head in. I go over to the desk and ask if I can get a pregnancy test. She tells me to go with the nurse by the doors and I do. I follow the nurse and she leads us into a room and leaves. A few minutes later a doctor comes in. She asks me what I'm here for and I tell her I'm here for a pregnancy test. She hands me a little cup and tells me to pee in it. I head to the bathroom and com back handing the cup to her. She tells me that it will be a few minutes and leaves. My foot nervously bobs up and down as I bite my finger nails. It won't be true, I know it. Owen took my hand and rubbed comforting circles on my fingers.

I look at him. “I'm scared.” I whisper.

He pulls me against his chest. "It'll be okay, Lani-bear. I promise."

Not much later the doctor comes in. “Congratulations, you're going to be a mother.” I swear I saw stars as my head spun. My heart stopped as I stared at the doctor in horror. No, no, this isn't possible!

Owen holds me against his chest and rubs my back. “Thanks.” He tells the doctor. He picks me up and carries me out to his car.

I started gasping for breath as he set me down on the hood. "Lani, Lani, listen to me. Its going to be okay."
