Oh, how she craved for an apple right then. Lorelai Gilmore paced back and forth in the bathroom of her parents mansion. She brushed her hair out of her face. It had been a couple minutes, shouldn't it be done by now?
Her watch beeped. Lorelai took a deep breath and looked strip. It showed positive. She gulped and sat down on the edge of the tub. She was pregnant. Pregnant. The word rang through Lorelai's head.
She had been right. For a couple weeks now, she had been feeling sick in the mornings, and had been eating fruit for the first time since she was little. Even coffee made her feel queasy sometimes, and she had been addicted to it since she was about twelve. Then a friend had suggested she might be pregnant, but Lorelai had pushed it off, for the thought of her being pregnant was just… crazy. Yet here she was, holding the test, that proved her wrong.
When she got a grip of herself, thoughts became to pour into her mind. How was she going to deal with this? She was pregnant. And only sixteen. Sixteen, and expecting. And she had to tell the father, Christopher Hayden, her friends, and her parents.
Lorelai felt tears come to her eyes, and quickly she wiped them away. Her parents. Oh god, how was she going to tell them? They wouldn't take this well. All their plans for her, thrown away. She was supposed to have graduated high school, gone to Yale, and married rich. But all that had changed, once the strip had turned pink.
"I've got to pull myself together,' thought Lorelai, "for my own sake, and…it's. It can't have a crazy mom, now can it?' She smiled lightly to herself, dried her eyes. Lorelai's stomach growled, and Lorelai looked down at her growing tummy. She laughed to herself. "Looks like baby's hungry," she said, thinking aloud. Lorelai stood up and threw out the test, making sure no one could see. She knew she probably burn it if she didn't want her mother, Emily Gilmore to find it. But, of course, she didn't and went downstairs to get some fruit.
She went back upstairs and laid down on her bed, thinking.
'Tomorrow, first thing, schedule a doctor's appointment. Second, tell Chris. After that, wing it.' Lorelai planned what she would do in her head, and then turned on the television. But she couldn't concentrate on the show. Of course she couldn't! Not long ago she had found out she was now breathing for two.
Lorelai walked over to her dresser and pulled out an empty notebook. She grabbed a pen too and went back to her bed. She flipped open to the first page, clicked her pen and began to write.
April 5th 1984 Also, pregnancy is making me
healthier. All I want it fruit! At least coffee is that bad
sometimes. I hope 'it' likes coffee. I hope 'it' is like me.
I took a pregnancy
test. Came out positive. Haven't told anyone. I'm too scared.
What will Chris say? And my parents? I'm doomed to death if I live
here any longer. But I can't leave yet. I'll
wait till 'it' is born.
A/N Okay there is the first part. I hope you guys like it! I'm either getting the first chapter up tonight or tomorrow, hopefully. PLEASE review. I'll review back. )
