LINDSEY POV

No way, this couldn't be happening, I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand, it read positive, just like the one I had taken before it. I knew when this had happened but not how, ashamed as I was I admitted to Mom that I had been drunk that night somehow, it made no sense. Ed and I had gone out for dinner and Ed had made absolutely certain we got smoothies but somehow we ended up drunk. I woke up the next morning with a hangover and found myself naked in Ed's bed, he was next to me also naked. We both realised what had happened but hadn't thought much of it at the time, now it looked a lot more serious. I was gonna have to tell him, we were due to meet up at a nearby diner for breakfast soon, I decided I'd tell him then.

Suddenly I heard the door handle rattle, then a knock on the door.

"Lindsey, you okay?"

It was Mom, thank God I'd locked the door, I swallowed nervously and called back, in what I hoped was a normal voice.

"I'm fine Mom, I'll be out in a minute".

I waited until i was sure Mom had walked away and I quickly stashed the pregnancy test with the other one. I then left the bathroom, making sure to hide the tests so Mom wouldn't see them, she'd freak if she knew about this. I quickly grabbed everything I needed for school, I told Mom I'd be going to have breakfast with Ed and then left, the whole way I was thinking, how could I explain this to Ed, I knew I'd have to tell Mom and Ed's parents but the part that was really stressing me out was having to tell Ed.

I entered the restaurant and saw Ed sitting waiting for me, Ed Kennedy was my boyfriend it had been about six months now since we started going out and now this. I swallowed nervously and approached the table he was sitting at, I sat down and spoke.

"Hey Ed, sorry I'm a little late".

He smiled and his eyes flicked over to me, that was something else about Ed, he was blind and apart from basic light/dark sensitivity he couldn't see anything. He had been born blind and so had plenty of time to refine his other senses to act in place of his eyes. I still remember how, after finding out he was blind I let him gently use his fingers to trace my face, so he could figure out exactly what I looked like. My heart had exploded with joy when, after he had done that he didn't even hesitate to say he thought I was pretty. I just wondered how he would react to what I was about to tell him.

"It's okay Lindsey, should we order now".

"You haven't had anything?"

He shook his head, smiling.

"No, I wanted to wait for you".

I smiled back, although my mind was still on the fact that I was pregnant, and it was Ed's baby I was pregnant with. After ordering we ate in silence, I was still thinking about how I could explain everything to him, Ed seemed confused by my silence but didn't complain about it. Eventually we finished eating and had paid, we began to talk at last, but not about anything important, I still couldn't work up the courage to tell him the truth. Suddenly I felt it again, I clamped my hand to my mouth, managed to choke out that I was going to the bathroom before running as fast as I could to the bathroom. I luckily made it to the bathroom before I threw up, damn morning sickness. Just once I'd like to eat breakfast and not bring it back up a few minutes later, quickly washing my hands and mouth I hurried out of the bathroom and saw Ed standing waiting for me.

"Lindsey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Ed, should we get going".

"Um...okay".

We then left the restaurant, I linked arms with Ed and we walked, holding hands, our fingers entwined.

We eventually arrive at school, from there the day was routine, except I had to leave class three times to throw up, after school Ed and I stopped in a nearby cafe. Ed thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Lindsey, what's going on, you've been acting weird all day, you've been throwing up so much, are you sick".

"No it's not that.

As Ed took a drink I decided to tell him the truth at last.

"Ed, I'm pregnant, that's why I've been throwing up so much".

Ed choked and spat out his drink, he coughed for some time before finally he managed to speak again.

"Are you absolutely certain?"

I wasn't irritated by him asking like some people would be, I sighed and answered him.

"I took two pregnancy tests, both positive".

I could see Ed adding everything up in his head.

"So, that time we had dinner, the 'smoothies' and all that, so we..."

I nodded, that was when I ended up pregnant, I was worried, what was he gonna say, would this mean the end of relationship, would he leave me because of this. I covered my face in my hands, suddenly I felt Ed's arms around me, I lifted my head.

"Ed?"

"Lindsey, I'm so sorry. I just don't get how we ended up in that situation, I mean, I have no clear memory after dinner".

"Y-yeah, we just woke up next to each other, that's obviously when it happened, but how did we end up like that, I have no idea".

We were quiet for a minute, finally Ed spoke.

"Honey, what's wrong? You sound upset".

"I was just worried about you would react, you're really gonna stay with me".

"Of course, I would never dream of leaving you".

I breathed a sigh of relief and rested my head on his shoulder. Finally I spoke to Ed about my biggest fear.

"Ed, there's still a problem, we've gotta talk to my Mom about this, she's gonna freak out".

Ed nodded.

"We've gotta tell my parents too".

"How do you think they'll take it?"

There was a short pause and finally Ed spoke.

"I don't know, my parents are Catholic, they might have some issues with this, but I don't think they'll try and force us to abort the baby, that is, unless you...

"I'm keeping it".

Ed nodded, after a brief moment we finally stood up, I spoke.

"We've gotta go talk to Mom, let's go".

"Yeah, okay, I'm with you no matter what happens, okay".

I nodded and together we left the cafe and headed back to my home, it was time to tell Mom.
