Chapter Six

VANESSA's  POV 💋

School had been over for an hour now, Lizzie and I were just waiting for Mikey so we could get this over with. Finally appearing, he got inside the car. 

We headed to the drug store and Micah parked the car. Both of them turned to look at me, "Are you ready?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah-" I started. But they gave me a soft gaze, "No not at all" I breathed. The door bell ringed when we entered the air conditioned store.

Lizzie and I examined the aisles until we found the ones with the pregnancy tests. Mikey had disappeared to do his own shopping.

"Why is there so many? He breathed out.

He had a pack of condoms and a tube of lube in his hands. I'm not even going to ask. I didn't bother with asking for the best brand. I just picked one so we could get out of there.

We brought three, a bottle of water, and a couple of snacks.

The cashier looked at Mikey with a flirty gaze, when he gave him the money.

I saw him slip something on Mikey receipt.

We headed back to my place, going directly up to my room. Sitting on my bed I began to drink the water. "I saw that Mikey, what's on the paper?" I questioned. Mikey pulled the crumpled receipt paper out of his jeans and passed it to me

"Hey, text me sometime" I read aloud so Lizzie could hear.

"He gave you his number?" Lizzie mumbled.

"Duh, how else am I supposed to text him" Mikey rolled his eyes at her.

She pushed him off the bed, rolling her eyes.

"Siri, what are the symptoms of pregnancy" Lizzie spoke into her phone.

Micah and I leaned over Lizzie to see the response.

"Missed period-" She started and continued to list off the things I've been feeling these past weeks. 

"Well I guess it was a good thing we got the test" Mikey joked.

"Its better safe than sorry" Lizzie sheepishly agreed with him.

I crossed my arms and pouted.

"What are you going to do if you're pregnant?" Micah asked me.

"I don't know can we please drop it until later" I pleaded with him.

I didn't want to talk about it until it was proven.

"Guys I'll be back, I'm going to the pack meeting but I'll be back before Valerie" Lizzie told us.

"Bye" Mikey and I said in unison.

"Sure" I brought popcorn and drinks in my room and got comfortable as Mikey put on a show. Almost thirty minutes later into the show.

"I knew it, I knew the bitch was evil" Mikey screamed at my flatscreen, and the popcorn he was chewing flew out of his mouth.

"Micah calm down" I stared at the chewed pieces on my rug and bed. I pointed towards the pieces." You're cleaning that up."

"Make me" He threw a single popcorn on the floor, squinted my eyes at him. He gave me a nervous glance

Grabbing the first thing that came into my hand, aiming it towards his face. The pillow bounced off of his head landing on the floor. 

"Oh man, holy shit" he screeched and hit me back.

While we were fighting, I didn't realize some one was by my door.

"You guys are so childish" Lizzie shook her head at us. 

"Yeah, I'm ready to burst" I went into the bathroom, with the three pregnancy test. 

I opened all three of the packages and took out the test, I read one of the boxes. It said it takes only three minutes to know.

In just three minutes my life will change. After I was done I set all three on the table, washed my hands and exited the bathroom.

"Peeing on a stick is hard work" I breathed and plopped myself on the bed.

"Mikey clean up that mess, please" I whined. Micah got up knowing not to argue, and went to get the broom. 

He did as I said and came back to the room. "I might be getting a nephew or niece" Mikey clapped.

I smiled at him weakly.

Lizzie smiled at me and hugged me. "We haven't even taken your feelings into consideration"

"Im fine" the alarm what I had set on my phone rang off.

"Oh gosh, I don't think I could look" I could feel my throat closing up on me.

Tear welled in my eyes.

"Can someone go look for me?." Liyah hugged me even tighter and cooed in my ear.

Mikey got up and went into the bathroom, there was some shuffling in the bathroom. He came out with the pregnancy tests.  

He took a seat on the side of me before resting the test on my bed,he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. 

"All are positive" Mikey said quietly. There was a long pause before I let out a loud sob, I clung to their arms, feeling physically sick. 

"Im pregnant" I cried.

"Its going to be okay" Lizzie assured me.

Mikey and Lizzie tried to comfort me but I couldn't believe I was going to be a mom at 18.

I removed my self from Lizzie embrace and started to pace around the room.

"How am I going to take care of a baby, when I can't even take care of myself" I stated.

"I haven't even graduated, went go college, or even got married. I have so much ahead of me" I cried out loudly.

"I can't believe this, what am I going to do with a baby" I stuttered as my body shook violently.

They both sat and watch me helplessly as I freaked my self out.

I sat down in the bed emotionally and physically drained.

"What am I gonna tell my sister" I whispered, sliding down the bed onto the wall. 

Suddenly, a loud growl interrupted my cries. "What the hell was that?" Mikey asked looking around the room.

And when we found the source of the growl, I cracked a small smile and we laughed. It was my stomach.

"Time to go feed the beast, you're eating for two now" We went downstairs in the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Oi, there is some left over pasta" Lizzie said, looking in the fridge.

She took it out of the fridge and popped it in the microwave. After the microwave stopped I put a fork full in my mouth.

"Oh you guys wanted some?" They both shook their heads muttering something about cereal.

The door slammed open,"Honey, I'm home!" Val shouted.

"Kitchen" I yelled back with a mouth full of pasta, which partially flew on Mikey.

"Ew, that's nasty!" Mikey grimaced as he wiped it off.

"How was the meeting?" I asked my sister when she appeared by the kitchen door.

"Boring" she dragged out.

We spent the rest of night talking and binge watching movies, all of my worries disappeared for a moment.
