Ally's POV
Stevie held out her arms as a toddler does when they want to be held.
"Cuddles, pretty?" She giggled.
I nodded my head and couldn't keep the grin off my face. Loopy Stevie was so adorable.
I climbed onto the left side of the bed, avoiding her hurt side. My head on Stevie's chest, her arms wrapped around me. She put her cheek on my head and started to laugh softly.
I lifted my head up and looked at her face, this caused her to erupt into laughter. I didn't think it was possible, but the smile on my face got even larger.
"What's so funny?" I teased her.
"You.. wanna.. know.. a.. secret?" She laughed between each word.
"Uh yeaaa!!!" I nodded vigorously.
Stevie held up one finger while she calmed down.
"Okay come back to me first." She pulled my body back against hers. My head resumed it's place on her chest and my arm around her waist.
"Ally... I'm on druuuugggssss! I feel funny." She whispered. "But shhh don't tell, it's our little secret."
Wanting to keep her like this I thought of questions to ask her.
"How do you feel funny?" I asked. I traced shapes onto her waist.
"I feel tired and.. and.. I don't know" she pouted. "I just do. Why don't I know Ally?" her voice when up an octave and her breath became shakey.
I repositioned us so that Stevie was cuddled into my side. My arms wrapped around her protectively. I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to her and that included her getting upset.
"Hey beautiful, it's just the medicine they have you on. You'll be okay when it wears off."
I felt Stevie's head shake 'no' against my chest. "Its more than that. YOU make me feel funny. When I'm with you, I feel things I don't understand. Things I've never experienced before. I have thoughts I can't control, like kissing you or holding you or simply talking to you. I think I like you... ALOT." Stevie's voice was shakey and starting to crack. "And it scares me.."
Stevie let a few tears fall silently. Was this the drugs talking or was it her? Would she remember this tomorrow or not? Do I respond or just stay quiet?
After a minute of silence while I debated in my head, I lifted her head to look in her eyes.
"...I know what you mean.. I like you too.." I whispered. I kept staring at her eyes and they quickly glanced at my lips. I took that as a signal to go for it. I leaned in slowly to see if she would stop me, but she didn't.
Our lips touched softly, her hand slipped up to my neck and she deepened the kiss. She pulled back slightly, pressing her forehead to mine.
With closed eyes she whispered "Will you just hold me for a little bit?"
I gave a small smile and nodded then pulled her into my chest. My fingers found their way to her hair, softly playing with it and I began humming "You are my sunshine".
I never wanted to forget this moment. Right here, right now, was the happiest I have ever been, even after all of the shit that's been going on the past few days. Stevie was the one thing I never expected, but the best things are the things you never expect.
Stevie had dozed off and began snoring softly. Not wanting to move, I grabbed my phone and got on Facebook to occupy myself. A chat head with Ali's face popped onto my screen.
Is now a good time to talk?-Ali
I sighed and thought for a moment.
Yea, give me a minute and I'll call you -Ally
Removing myself from the hospital bed, I took one last look at Stevie and walked out of the room. I didn't want to disturb anyone, so I walked outside. There was a trail open to patients and their guests that intrigued me, I walked awhile until I came to a tree that looked comfy enough. The sun was just starting to go down, so it wasn't too hot, but I was still slightly out of breath due to my lack of being in shape. I mean who really needs to be "in shape" I look damn fine without it, if I may say so myself.
I sat underneath the tree and rang Ali.
Ali: Spill it
Ally: Well hello to you too Ali
Ali: Girl, we are not here to play around. Give me the details. What happened? Is everything okay?
Ally: Yea.. everything is fine.. I guess. It's fucked up, but it's okay.
Ali: Alright, so what happened after you and Josh left my house?
The mention of Josh brought a tightness to my chest, his last words repeated in my head. That THING is not my child. How could he just run away like that?
Ali: Uh hello? Earth to Allison!
Ally: Oh shit, yea sorry. Alright so...
I told Ali everything. The conversation between Josh and I, running into Stevie on the street, Jack punching my dad, waking up with Stevie, Alex going crazy, and then finally mine and Stevie's conversation in the hospital room.
Ally: ...and I don't know man, it just feels so right to be with her. I thought I loved Josh and never questioned it, but compared to what I feel for Stevie, Josh seems like a casual friend.
Ali: Well damn, I don't know what to say.. I just want you to know that I love you and if you need anything I'm always here for you dude. But umm.. are you gonna tell Stevie about your soon-to-be mini me?
Ally: ...you know, I only took one test.. what if it was wrong? Stuff like that happens right? There could be a totally logical reason for my period to be late and the test positive.. I could be sick or stressed or.. or.. sick?
Ali: Well.. there's only one way to know for sure, have a doctor tell you.. and you kinda are at a hospital right now so...
Ally: *sigh* yea.. I know.. but what do I do? Just walk up to someone and be like 'Yo will you tell me if I'm with child?'
Ali: Maybe not those words, but yea basically. So, get to that right now and I'll talk to you later. BYYYYEE!
Ally: Wait! No-
The line went dead.
"Ugh! Woman, you're killing me." I said to myself. I looked around, it was way past dark. I'd surely been gone for an hour or two. I got up and headed back into the hospital.
I was about to walk into Stevie's room when the doctor from earlier walked out.
"Oh Ally! Hello! I was just doing some tests on Stevie to make sure she is okay. Good news, she passed all of the tests and we lowered her dosage of pain medication so she is not as loopy as before."
"Yay, that's good to hear." I smiled "Umm actually I was wondering if I could ask you something..?"
"Sure go ahead!" he always seemed so enthusiastic.
"Can this stay between us though? Like no telling Stevie?" I asked.
"Of course, doctor-patient confidentiality. What's up kid?"
I looked down at the ground, "Well.. I was wondering.. if maybe, you could test and see if I am.. with child..?"
"Oh, uh.. that's not really my area of expertise.. but I can get someone for you if you would like?"
"Yes please.."
He gestured for me to walk with him, "Come on, let's get you down to a good friend of mine."
