Lulu's Strawberry Dream | Waitress the Musical Fanfiction

Fall Apart

Jenna's POV

When I woke up, my head was hurting badly and I felt slightly nauseous. I moaned and pulled myself out of bed. I knew I had to go to work and I could push through it.

I got Lulu up and ready for school. After I got her dropped off I went to the diner, even though I felt like throwing up.

At the diner I began to bake pies. I was making a chicken pot pie and I pulled the peas out of the pantry.

Yuck. Peas. I thought. Why was I hating peas all the sudden? I normally liked them. I opened the package and I couldn't look at them. I suddenly knew I was going to throw up. I sprinted to the bathroom and emptied my stomach contents into the toilet.

"Jenna..." Becky said as she and Dawn walked into the bathroom.

"You okay?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." I opened the stall and my head was filled with thoughts.

I couldn't be... pregnant? Could I? I had felt nauseous and sick when I found out I was pregnant with Lulu.

No. Way. I can't be. I ignored my previous thought, and I went back to the kitchen.

When I went to get Lulu from school I drove the pharmacy.

"Lulu, I need to go get something in the store," I said as I parked the car. I grabbed Lulu and went inside and bought a pregnancy test.

"What's that Mommy?" asked Lulu.

"Oh. It's a... um... a thing. So Lu how was school?" I said quickly changing the subject.

"Good!" She exclaimed.

When we were home I turned the tv on and got a snack for Lulu then I went to the bathroom and then took the pregnancy test.

After a few minutes I looked at the stick. On it was two, pink, vertical lines.

"Shit," I muttered. I didn't want another baby. Lulu was my one and only baby.

The next day at work I told Dawn and Becky.

"Oh my god..." Dawn said, her jaw dropping.

"Yeah." I sighed.

"Dr. Pomatter' the father right?" Becky clarified.

"Yes."

"Well in that case when?" Becky pushed.

"After our first date," I said, "but shush. I don't want The whole world to know I'm pregnant."

"Jenna. You're pregnant? Gees. Again?" Cal stuck his head from out of the kitchen. I felt my face turn read and I felt like hiding in my apron.

"Cal. Get to work would ya?" Becky snapped.

That night when Lulu was asleep Jim came over. We sat on the couch and I decided to tell him the news.

"I need to tell you something." I said.

"What is it Jenna?" he responded.

I waited for a tiny bit then said, "I'm p-pregnant."

"Oh my gosh! This is so exciting!" He exclaimed. He hugged me then looked at my sad expression. "Wait Jenna are you not happy?"

"No. I don't want another baby. Lulu is my baby. I can't care for another one either. I am working all day and I have enough money for two. I just can't do it."

"Well, but when we get married..."

"Wait who said anything about marriage?!" I stood up and started at him.

"Well we are meant to be and we are going to have a baby."

"Well now I'm not so sure anymore that we're meant to be. This is done." I said.

"O-okay. Goodbye Jenna." Jim got up and left my house.

"Goodbye Jim."

I laid my head on the couch and cried.

Why had I done that. Maybe it was better though. I thought as I fell asleep.

*****

Dr. Pomatter and I didn't talk much after that. I saw him occasionally when I was picking up or dropping off Lulu at school. Almost two months had gone by and I still hadn't become more attached to the baby.

Suddenly one day at work I felt a sharp and abrupt pain in my side.

"Ow!" I clenched my free hand to my side and cringed in intense pain. Then I felt very dizzy and was about to sit down when I collapsed to the floor and everything went black.
