Wanda's POV
I sighed heavily. I was sitting in the room Ian and I shared. It was dark so the beautiful sights of the twinkling stars filtered through the gaps in the ceiling. I stared down at the pregnancy test Mel had slipped into my pocket last time we were on raid together. Positive. I may not know much about this weird planet but I knew what positive on a pregnancy test meant. I blinked back tears. This body was seventeen. Seventeen. I swallowed the clump in my throat but it kept on coming back. My stomach was clutching painfully and my heart was hammering in my ears. I stuffed the test under a pile of clothes and got up. I looked down at myself. No way you could tell a child was floating around in there. As I opened the red door of our cave and wondered out into the empty corridor. A bit ahead Mel was coming out of her own cave.
"Hi Wanda." She greeted. She waited for me to hurry up. Then she spotted my frowning face and me.
"What's up babe?" She put her arm around my shoulders. I gazed up at her brown eyes that were filled with worry for me. I only came up to her shoulder.
"Pregnant." I mumbled in a voice I was certain she wouldn't understand.
"Wanda I know you think I'm Super Woman but I can't hear it when you mumble." She laughed.
"I'm pregnant." I whispered. Mel gasped.
"Oh my god. I'm betting Ian doesn't know." She pulled me into a hug.
"He's going to kill me." I murmured into her shoulder.
"Probably but just be thankful you faked being eighteen." Mel grinned. I nodded sadly.
"Cheer up." We then started up the corridor at a slow sort of shuffle. Me glancing at the floor trying not to look at her concerned face and her staring at me. Once we reached the kitchen it wasn't really busy, as most people had eaten earlier. Jamie was sitting with then fifteen-year-old human called Emma. She was found as a soul on a trip to the hospital to get more cryotanks. She was sitting eating her lunch on a bench outside. Jamie thought it love at first sight. We then had to change her. She had brown mousy hair to her shoulders, hazel eyes and slightly tanned skin. She was about an inch smaller than Jamie. Jamie and Emma, I noticed were trying to hide the fact that they were holding hands. Jamie saw us and beckoned us over. Mel tried to walk over but I nodded my head towards there hands and she laughed, deciding against it. We went to sit next to Doc. There was only Doc, Mel, Jamie, Emma and I in the room. I went to get Mel and I a piece of bread. I went back over to her and handed her a piece.
"Thanks." She smiled. I nodded. I then sat next to her and nibbled glumly on my bread, head in hands.
"What's wrong with Wanda?" Doc whispered to Mel. Mel shrugged in response and I smiled in thanks. Some other figure had walked into the room and without turning around. Mel, who was in the middle of Doc and I, mouthed 'Oops.' That confirmed my suspicions. Ian came and wrapped his arms around my waist. I didn't bother look at him, as I'd burst out crying. Not a pretty sight. I just got up and shook him off without looking at him.
"See you Mel, Doc." I waved at them.
"I'm going to, need to see Sharon." Doc got up and together we walked past Jamie and Emma, out of the Kitchen.
Ian's POV
I stared after Wanda mystified. I glimpsed down at the barely touched piece of bread that used to be Wanda's.
"Mel what was up with her?" I turned to Mel who looked at my sheepishly. If anyone knew what was up with Wanda she would.
"I don't know." Mel whispered.
"Spill it." I tapped my foot impatiently.
"I said thatI DON'T FUCKING KNOW."And with that Mel got up and followed Wanda's footsteps out of the room. I sighed and fell onto the chair at the same time. But I knew something; Mel knew and wasn't telling me. I saw Emma and Jamie stare at me awkwardly. I don't know how long I slouched on the table before I drifted into a restful sleep.
I woke up to someone shaking me.
"Up Bro." Kyle yelled to close to my ear for my liking.
"Ouch." I exclaimed.
"Sorry but we need to get to work on the fields." Kyle grinned. He seemed happier now that Sunny was here. I shrugged off sleep's grip and we set off down the familiar corridors to the fields.
"So has Wanda seen sense and dumped you?" Kyle laughed.
"Shut up." I glowered.
"Look who's snappy in the morning." Kyle gave a mock scared face and backed away from me.
"Ugh, remind me why I haven't killed you yet?" I asked exasperated.
"Because you love me." Kyle smiled at me and hugged me. I pushed him off.
"Get off." But he flung his arms around me again.
"Not until you say you love me." Kyle grinned cheekily so he looked like a child preparing to steal some sweets from the sweet shop.
"I love you." I sighed.
"Brotherly love hey bro it's like the olden days before Earth was invaded." Kyle chuckled. I had to admit it was nice having the old Kyle back. I liked the old Kyle even though he annoyed me excessively. I shrugged and we entered our destination. I would find out what was the matter with Wanda whether it was the last thing I did.
Wanda's POV
I fell back onto the mattress and let the tears pour down my pale cheeks. I sniffled loudly then choked painfully. I clasped at the mattress in upset. More tears threatened my face and I rolled over into a ball. There was a light tap at the door and Mel cautiously shifted inside.
"I told him that I didn't know what was wrong." She gently sat next to me. She picked up my head and put it in her lap, playing with my hair.
"Sweetie you'll have to tell him." She said after a while of comforting silence.
"I know." I sniffled.
"He fell asleep in the Kitchen. Probaly in the fields now." She explained.
"Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere." She asked.
"I got out of the caves for a bit went for a walk." I gazed up at Mel to figure out her response. Her face was smiling at me.
"I'm not surprised." She laughed.
"How can I tell him?" I groaned.
"You'll have to get him alone and tell him straight." Mel replied pulling a strand of hair over her finger.
"Right." I exhaled noisly. At that second Ian pushed back one of the doors and strode into the room.
"Melanie Stryder you did fucking know." Ian growled. Mel snarled in response.
"Ian." I murmured. Ian shoved me off Mel and threw her out of the room.
"Now tell me what this is about." He raised his eyebrows.
"Erm... er... I'm... P...-" Ian cut me off.
"Spit it out." He breathed.
"I'm pregnant." I finished, simply. Ian was angry I hadn't told him the whole story, this was worse than angry. Ian just stood there gawping at the air.
"Ian... Ian?" I trembled.
"I need space." Ian murmured. I got up and hurried out of the room.
"How did it go?" Mel wondered alound as she fell into my small steps as I tryed to get as far away from the gawping look of Ian.
"Wel I don't know, he just sat there staring." I confessesd.
"Shit." Mel whispered.
"Yep." I laughed.
"You seem happier now you've told him." She shrugged.
"I'm no good at secrets." I explained truthfully.
"Yeah Souls can't keep secrets as they can't lie around people asking questions. You in peticular." Mel laughed and I slapped her playfully.
"We'll find out how he feels later but now I just want to get away from him." I concluded.
"I wouldn't think you'd ever want to be away from wonderful Ian." Mel smiled.
"Me either." I smiled in response.
