A/N: So I've literally had this story sitting on my computer for months because I'm actually still working on it. I typically never start posting a story before I have it finished but I just got sick of waiting for myself to finish and to start posting it that I decided to just go ahead and get the first chapter out there so I can feel better about myself. And in case you were wondering, this first part is so ridiculously short because it's the prologue and I do promise that the other chapters will be longer.
So without further ado, I give you Plus One.
Pregnant.
Dr. Stevens sighs as she reads that one word and closes the patient's file in her hands. Normally she enjoys being able to tell a woman or couple that they were expecting but there was always the small handful that she knew were unplanned and unwanted. She is 99.9% positive that this was going to be one of those times. Taking a deep breath to prepare herself for what she is sure is going to be an uncomfortable conversation, she pushes open the door and strolls into the exam room where her patient was waiting.
"Hello," she says as friendly as she can.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Stevens," the young girl responds. "How are you?"
"I'm alright. Thank you for asking." The older lady replies as she places the file on the desk in the room. "How about you?"
"Well if we're being honest, after your phone call I'm rather anxious. I mean you normally don't call me back after I've had bloodwork done for my routine check ups so I can only assume that you found something and wished to speak with me about it in person." Rachel Berry fidgets slightly on the exam table when she finishes speaking.
Dr. Stevens removes her glasses briefly to pinch the bridge of her nose before replacing them and saying, "You assume correct."
The tiny brunette stills for just a second before quietly asking, "What did you find?"
"Well let me first start off by saying that your cholesterol, thyroid and blood pressure all came back fine. As did your pap smear."
"I'm relieved to hear that. So if none of those items are of concern, then why am I here doctor?"
The woman opens the chart on the desk one last time just to confirm that the results didn't magically change to a negative result when she wasn't looking just because she wished it to. Seeing that the offending paper still said "pregnant" she closes the file and looks back at the teenaged girl. "When was your last period, Rachel?"
Rachel stares silently at Dr. Stevens for a few seconds before responding, "I'm not sure. A few months I suppose. But you said that that was normal for me since I seem to have an abnormal cycle and don't menstruate every month like other women. Did the test results come back with a problem due to my irregular cycle?"
The doctor closes her eyes briefly and takes another fortifying breath before gazing upon the young girl again and speaking, "There's no easy way for me to tell you this, Rachel, but you're pregnant."
A/N: Hi there, me again. Yes it's another Rachel pregnancy story (just in case you somehow missed that bit of information...haha) but I'm kinda hoping that you'll stick with me since (to me at least) the concept behind my story feels different than all of the other pregnant Rachel stories that I've read.
