Preggo Patti.
Chp. One.
The News.
Patricia POV.
Positive. I was pregnant. I was 17 and pregnant. I can't believe it. How could I be so stupid?! I knew better. I knew it only took one time. I had just come back from being a sinner. Eddie told me that I would always be the one he wanted. He was the only one I wanted. The next thing I know. Shit happened. I need to tell him.
"Eddie?" I ask walking into his room.
"Yes dear?"
"I need to tell you something, " I say going and sitting on his bed by his knees. He takes his head phones off and puts them to the side. He takes my hands.
"Anything. " he says.
"I'm pregnant. " I say.
"Whoa. " is all he says. His eyes get big. He takes one hand away and runs it threw his hair.
I start crying.
"Whoa hun, don't cry. What's wrong?" He says leaning forward and taking my face in his hands.
"I'm afraid you're gonna leave me. I'm scared. We are 17. We live at a boarding school. What in the actual fuck are we going to do?"
"I'm not leaving. This is going to be hard but well talk to my dad. Get it worked out. It's ok. We got this baby. I love you. " he tells me.
"I love you too. "
"Who all are we going to tell?" He asks.
"No. Nobody yet. I don't know how far I am. I don't know if something is wrong. It's too soon to tell anyone. I'm gonna call my mom though. I need her. "
"Ok do it now. I'm right here."
I pull my phone out of my pocket. I dial her number and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello dear. "
"Hi mom. I have something to tell you, you aren't gonna like it, at all. "
"What is it?" She asks.
"I'm pregnant. " I say. Squeezing Eddie's hand.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. "
"Well, it's not ideal but it'll work out. I'll call my doctor. It's ok love. I'll call the doctor and call you back. " she hung up. I knew it wasn't ok. It isn't. But it happened and now, now I gotta deal with it.
"She's calling the doctors and then she's gonna call me back. " I wipe tears from my face.
"Baby why are you crying?" He asks.
"I feel stupid. It's not ok to get pregnant at such a young age. I don't know what we are going to do. We don't have jobs, well We have the band but it'll never work if I'm pregnant. " I tell him.
"Babe, it's all gonna work out. I know I'm not religious but G-d wanted us to have a kid. So it'll work. I know it will. " he tells me.
"It's going to have to. I don't have the strength to give the baby up in any way. "
"I love you, " he says then places his right hand on my flat stomach.
"And this baby."
"I love you too. But can we really do this?"
"Yes. "
~SHE NEEDS A DR. SHE NEEDS A DR. AT HER DR. APT.~
I walk in and lay on a table. Eddie and my mom came with me. They both stand on my right side. Eddie holds my hand. The doctor walks in.
"Hello, Patricia. I'm Dr. Lake. I'm going to ask you some questions. "
"Ok. "
"Is this your first pregnancy? "
"Yes. "
"Age?"
"17."
"Were you on birth control?"
"No. "
She asks some more.
"Alright, well, lets see your baby. " (ok so my mom just had a baby and I know how the first ultrasound really goes but it's kinda gross so just know this doesn't happen in real life. )

She puts some gel on my stomach and then puts the thing on my stomach.
"That little dot is your baby,"
Wow.
"From the looks of it you have been pregnant for an amount of time. I would say maybe over a month. "
I knew this. I just kept denying it.
"So you are about 5 weeks along. "
"Nice. "
"Your due date is December 14th. Go talk to Barb (at first I typed Barf.) to plan your next visit. Congratulations. "
"Thank you. " I say smiling
I plan my visit then we leave.
Eddie starts jumping up and down when we get back to the house in the parking lot.
"I can't believe it! We are having a baby!" I slap him across the stomach.
"Dude! People. Campus. Shut. Your. Face. "
I guy from Isis house walks by looking confused.
"April fools! I'm not pregnant. It's a late joke." I say. Fake laughing.
He just walks away.
"Dude. "
We walk back to the house hand in hand.
"I love you my dearest. " He says in a sing song voice.
"I love you too. " I say. Leaning over and kissing his cheek. I decide I'm going to tell KT. Her and Mara switched rooms ABD we are best friends now weirdly enough.
I walk in and she is flipping threw a magazine.
"I wanna tell you something. But you can't tell anyone or I will kill you. " I say walking in with my hands on my stomach.
"Ok?"
I go and sit down on her bed cross legged with my hands still on my stomach.
"I'm pregnant. " her eyes get huge and her mouth drops.
"Get. Out. No way. "
"It's true. "
"With what? An ant?!"
"No. Eddies baby. "
"Ohhhh! I'm excited!"
"Really?" I ask.
"Um hmm. " she nods.
"Well then. Guess there's a lot ahead of us. No turning back now. "
