Chapter 1
Weeks had passed, we had been delayed going to New Orleans because of rain, and when it rained, it rained hard. I was sitting at the dinner table reading a book when Nick walked in. He looked like he had just woken up, but it was the middle of the day, I know what he was doing. He poured himself a glass of water, "I don't think Aria has had this much sex in her lifetime." I said, not looking up from my book,
"What can I say? I'm a pleaser."
"You just keep telling yourself that."
"What about you and Ellis? You can't tell me that you guys don't like to get it on every night."
"Not recently, I've been too sick for that."
"I wouldn't let that stop me."
I closed my book and looked at him, "I'm sure you wouldn't." I got up,
"Where are you going?"
"I have to use the bathroom." I said, walking to my room. Ellis was sitting on the bed, he seemed worried, "Babe, what's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me, like he was scared of me, "Ellis?"
He stared at me for a little bit longer, "It's uh... It's nothing." He said, finally looking away.
I sat next to him, "Are you sure it's nothing?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." I kissed him on the cheek and grabbed his hand. He looked at me and finally gave me a smile, "What were you reading?" He asked, looking at the book,
"Oh, it's just a book I grabbed from home about Greek mythology.. It's my favorite."
"Can I see?"
"Yeah." I handed him the book, "I have to pee anyway." I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I walked out of the room Ellis was gone, but there was a knock on the door, "Come in." I said.
Darcy walked in, she was wearing her hoodie but the hood was down, "Hey... Can we talk for a second?"
"Yeah, sure." We sat on the bed,
"So uh... you know how I can sense heartbeats?"
"Yeah, so?" She made a face, "Darce, what is it?"
"Well, I've been sensing this for a little while and... I think you're pregnant." She said.
I looked at her in disbelief, "You're joking."
"I didn't believe it at first, but then you've been sick a lot lately and having mood swings and to be honest, you have gained a little bit of weight."
"No..." I stood up, "Darcy, I can't be pregnant! I-I can't raise a baby in this world!" I felt like crying, who knew how long I had been pregnant, I didn't want to raise a baby in this world. I turned back towards her, "D-Does Ellis know?"
She nodded, "I told him first, I wasn't completely sure and I asked Max about it and he sensed the same thing."
I fell to my knees and started to cry. Darcy wrapped her arms around me, "What am I going to do Darcy?" I cried,
"Soph, you'll be okay. As soon as we get to New Orleans I will do whatever it takes to make sure you and Ellis are safe... The others too..." She wiped a tear off my cheek, "It'll be okay." I wasn't sure that it would be okay, I wasn't sure if I was even ready to be a mother myself. It was too much for me to bear, Darcy helped me up and sat me back on the bed, "Want me to go get Ellis?" I nodded slightly, she left.
I wiped my tears on the sleeve of my shirt as Ellis walked in, he shut the door behind him, I got up and hugged him, "What are we going to do?" I cried into his chest,
"I...I don't know Sophia... I'm sorry." He kissed the top of my head, "There's nothing to be sorry about..." I sniffed, "All we can do for now is worry about getting to safety." He said, I looked up at him. He wiped the tears from my face, "We're going to be okay, I promise." I sniffed again, "Why don't you lay down for a bit?"
We walked over to the bed and sat down, "Ellis, I don't think I'm ready to be a parent..." I said,
"Me either, but hey, we can wing it together right?" He smiled at me, I laughed a little bit. Ellis laid next to me in bed, not saying much, I just didn't want him to go just yet,
"We're going to have to tell the others." I said, he nodded, "I just want to talk to Aria first." As much as Aria was a bitch, she was still my sister and we still had heart to heart talks like we used to when we were younger.
When I woke up Ellis was gone, I heard the shower running in the bathroom so at least I knew where he was. I got out of bed and left the room to find Aria, and I knew the first place to look. I knocked on Nick's door, the door opened and Aria was standing there, "Hey Soph, what's up?" I wanted to say something to her, but the only noise that came out was a sob, then a cry. Aria wrapped me in her arms, "Oh dear... Nick, get the hell out, I need to have a talk with my sister."
Nick got up off the bed and walked past us, "Geez, what's up with her?"
"Just go." He nodded and left. Aria pulled me into the room and closed the door, "Soph what happened? Did Ellis dump you?"
"No... I messed up Aria." I cried,
"Messed up? What do you mean?"
"I..." I sniffed, "I'm pregnant, Aria!" I cried and buried my face in my hands,
"You... Wait, when did you lose your virginity?"
"Nevermind that Aria, I'm scared, and I don't know what to do!"
She hugged me again, "Well do you at least know who the father is?"
"Yeah, Ellis is... He's the only person I ever had sex with."
"You lost your virginity to Ellis?" I glared at her, "Right, sorry... At least it wasn't Michael..."
"Aria!"
"Sorry, I'm just trying to lighten the mood, you don't have anything to be upset about. Have you seen Thomas and Gina? She's almost 4 months pregnant and she still kicks ass better than I could."
"I just... What if I'm a terrible parent? I don't think I'm ready."
"Soph, I've seen people have kids and they probably shouldn't have, but they ended up being great parents. When the time comes that you're gonna have that little guy... or girl, you and Ellis will know what to do."
"Are you sure?" I sniffed,
She nodded, "Do you think mom and dad knew what they were doing when mom got pregnant for me at 16? Mom told me that it was stressful at first but after the first month she said it was a cakewalk."
"That explains a lot." I laughed,
"Hey, now." She smiled, "You're gonna be okay Soph, it's nothing to worry about."
I wiped my eyes, "Thanks, Aria. I miss having someone to talk to."
"I do too." She smiled at me.
I didn't leave the room much after I talked to Aria, I really didn't want to talk to anyone besides maybe Ellis. I just curled up on the bed and read my book, the door opened and closed. The bed shifted a little and and arm wrapped around me, "You okay?" He asked, I rolled over to face him,
"Yeah... I think."
"Were you going to tell the others?"
"I was going to wait until dinner to say something... I did feel a little better after talking to Aria."
"That's good." He kissed me, I kissed him back,
"Ellis?"
"Yeah?"
"I still love you." I smiled,
"I still love you too." He smiled back.
I brushed his hair back, "I suppose there could be worse things that could happen."
"Like what?" He asked,
"Well, I mean, you could be dead..."
"Or you could be dead." He added, "But we're not." He kissed my forehead.
Dinner time came around, and I was nervous, I wasn't sure how to tell the others. I figured Nick might already know, but only because Aria is a big mouth and you can't really tell her much. Ellis held my hand as we ate dinner, everyone was having small conversations amongst themselves except Aria, she was looking at me. I glared back at her, I could tell what she was thinking because we've had this staredown before, "You better say something before I do." She didn't need to say anything, I was perfectly capable of handling this myself. I looked over at Ellis, he looked back at me and squeezed my hand for reassurance. I sighed, 'Here goes nothing.' I said to myself and cleared my throat, "Uh guys..." Everyone stopped their conversations and looked at me.
I got instantly nervous, so Ellis spoke instead, "Sophia and I have some... news that we want to share with you guys."
"Well, spit it out." Rochelle said,
"I'm pregnant!" I exclaimed and buried my face in my hands to save from the judgmental stares.
The room was silent, "No way." Gina said, "I have a pregnant buddy!" She exclaimed,
"Gina!" Thomas scolded,
"Sophie, are you embarrassed?" Rochelle asked, I peeked through my fingers, "Yeah, you're pregnant, so what? It's nothing to be embarrassed about, it happens."
"Not during a zombie apocalypse." I said,
"So what? Nothing is going to happen, you're going to have a baby and that's it." I lifted my head up,
"Trust me Soph, I know how you feel, when this all started I wasn't sure if Thomas and I were even going to find people to take us with them to safety, I have no worries about what's going to happen because I have to worry about my safety first before I have this baby." Gina said,
"Thanks, Gina." She never had a bad thing to say, she was almost like a mother to everyone, you couldn't help but feel better after anything she said. Rochelle, Coach, Thomas, and Gina left the room.
Nick, Ellis, Aria, Darcy, Max and I remained, Nick looked at my sister, "You're not pregnant, are you?"
"No, and I don't plan on getting pregnant anytime soon either!"
"Pregnancy isn't a plague Nick." I said,
"I know, and trust me, we probably should be using protection because I am not father material."
"Oh really? You don't say." I smirked,
"Hey, parenting isn't my thing either." Aria added,
"I will admit though, I didn't think Ellis had it in him, I mean, to get it on the first try, that's pretty impressive." Nick teased,
"Oh shit, the first time? That is impressive, like, how often does that happen?" Aria chimed in,
"Shut up you two." I said,
"C'mon, we're only teasing." Aria said, and looked over at Darcy, "What about you Ms. Darcy?"
"What about me?" Darcy asked, crossing her arms,
"You and Max, you can't tell me you haven't done something."
Darcy got some color in her face, which was the most color I think I had ever seen on her, "What? No, we aren't like that... We are just friends... nothing more... and I think its a little weird if zombies have sex."
"But you're not completely a zombie." I smirked, mostly at the fact that I knew her and Max liked each other, but she just friend zoned him so hard.
She got up, "You guys suck." She left,
"Love you Darcy." I called after her.
Later that night I walked out of the bathroom and threw on some pajamas, Ellis was already in bed, either asleep or close to it. I crawled into bed, he wrapped his arm around me, "I don't think you look like you've gain weight." He smiled,
"I think you're saying that to be nice." I smirked back at him.
He kissed me on the nose, "Goodnight Soph, I love you."
"I love you too." I said, turning off the light.
