Sleeping With the Enemy

Chapter 24: Flashback

"Yeah, you ate two cup fulls." Mia replied

I sighed, "I don't know... is there a bathroom near?" I asked

"You about to blow it up!" She laughed

"No, I'm just feeling nauseous." I replied

She made a concerned face, "I think there's one down that way." She said, pointing in a direction to her left.

"Okay." I said and got up and slowly walked to the bathroom.

It was as if my stomach sensed when I was there because the moment I walked in I vomited into the toilet.

When I thought I was done I walked out of the stall and ran some water over my face and wiped it off.

"Are you okay?" Mia asked, walking in.

"Maybe I did have too many pretzels." I said

She observed my face, "Let's get you home." She said

I agree.

I laid my head against the car the entire ride.

When we got inside I plopped right on the couch.

Mia sat next to me and rubbed my leg.

"Now, though I didn't obtain my degree because I changed majors—  you know I took up nursing classes and I know a bit about early pregnancy and this—" she started

"Oh, no. Just because someone vomits doesn't mean they're automatically pregnant, plus the only guy I've had sex with recently used a condom."

"There are possibilities that they could break or rip if he was too big for it, were defective before usage, wasn't put on thoroughly and slipped off and he could've not told you, if you were intoxicated it could've been a time where you thought he used one or he thought he did and you didn't.. anything."
She explained

"But what are the chances of that?" I said, full of sarcasm.

"You'd actually be surprised how common it is in mistaken pregnancies!" She said

"Well what are you telling me for? There's such a small chance of that being a possibility, I'm not even ruling that out.  I could very well have ate too many pretzels and or have gotten food poisoning." I replied

"You're so snappy... let me see your stomach." She said and reached for my shirt

"What? No." I said and pushed her hand back

"Taylor, quit being an asshole and let me see— I before anyone would know. I took two years of nursing." She said and reached for my shirt again.

"First lay down." She instructed

I sighed and laid down, she lifted my shirt and observed my stomach and then rubbed it softly in certain spots.

"I want you to take a pregnancy test, or let's go to the doctor." She said

"Really?!" I asked, sitting up

"Better to be safe than sorry." She replied

"I'll go get it." She added

I shrugged and allowed her to leave. She came back in no time, she must've went to the Walgreens down the street.

"Here." She said and passed it to me 

I walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

I did what I thought you'd typically have to do and stepped out.

"What does it say?" She asked

"I don't know, I walked out before the results popped up." I said
