A/N at the end! ;)
Ashley's POV
I woke up in the morning after Ryan and I broke up two weeks ago, nauseated, trembling and my skin paler than usual. After throwing up on the WC, I went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot tea that I had on a flask, drinking it in slow sips, trying to not throw up again. I couldn't arrive to the bathroom and I threw up on the floor of the hall of my apartment. With a sigh, I went to the kitchen for a mop and I cleaned the vomit of there; then I went to the toilette and I got a bubble bath, throwing up again on the water.
The whole situation of the morning was awful. I was throwing up without reason and I felt like real shit, something that I didn't understand, because I hadn't drank alcohol or ate something that was out of date last night or this week. Maybe I was stressed because work and the broke up or I caught an awful germ that wouldn't let me alone until I puked enough and I felt so bad that I couldn't go to work for a week. Yeah, maybe it's that and I should call Marlene to tell her that I won't go to work. Yep, I'll do that now and let's see what happens... I'm sure she'll understand.
Shay's POV
Ahhhh, nothing better than waking up early in the morning and take a shower before going to work. Although acting is slightly tiring, I have a job that many people would kill to have and I'm really thankful for that.
However, when I arrived this morning to my work and the first thing that I noticed it was that Ashley wasn't there with us. Marlene said that she was sick, something that I should know, after all, she told me that Ryan and her broke up two weeks ago and she was slightly sad for that, plus, the stress of work maybe mad her feel sick today. I'll call her after I do my scenes.
While I was reading my script with a smile (I just love Emily's personality, she's so cool, I would kill for having a friend like her), my iPhone vibrated and my smile grow bigger as I read who sent me a message: "Ashley Victoria Benson".
Ash: "Can you come around when you finish recording please?"
Me: "Sure, what happened?"
Ash: "I feel like shit, my stomach is strange and I'm really tired"
Me: "Don't worry, I'll be there at 4 pm, bye Ash!"
After that, I frowned as I drank a sip of pink lemonade, trying to focus on the script, but the fact that Ashley felt so bad was more interesting than Emily's lines. Having a long term relationship like Ash and Ryan's one, meant that the could had have intercourse more than once. What if they had sex without a condom? What if the condom broke or Ryan haven't pulled out his penis out of her at time? What if Ashley's pills weren't hundred percent effective and she was...? No way! Ashley can't be pregnant, not now that Ryan left her for another girl and she's so broken. My poor Ash... I'll buy her a fuzzy blanket and medicine before going to her place. And maybe a pregnancy test too.
During the morning, Ashley threw up around seven times before she could drink a glass of water and then, get in her bed and take a nap. Her apartment was slightly hot because she closed the windows and turned on the heating because she was feeling cold. The blonde girl lay down on bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep. During her sleep, she whimpered and turned on her bed, throwing up three times on a basket next to the bed.
After Ashley threw up and went back to sleep, Shay arrived in silence to her place. They were so friends that they had keys of their houses in case that happened something like this. In a bag that she was carrying, the tanned girl had a fuzzy white blanket, a box of extra soft tissues, a pregnancy test, a bottled water and some clothes for her. Shay decided to stay with her friend until she got better.
Shay began to feel heat inside Ashley's apartment, until she noticed that the heating was turned on. She turned it down and then she went to Ashley's room. The blonde girl was sweating and breathing slightly hard, so Shay pulled her hair out of her face, dried her sweat and touched her cheek with the tips of her long and tanned fingers, sighing softly. Poor Ashley. She must be suffering at that moment and Shay understood her totally.
Shay put the fuzzy white blanket over her friend's body and smiled a bit as she saw Ashley touching the blanket.
When Ashley woke up, she saw Shay next to her, smiling to her in Shay's charming smile.
"Hey" Ashley's voice was hoarse thanks to throwing up a lot and also, the awful pain on her body.
"Hey Sleeping Beauty" Shay teased, caressing Ashley's face. "I made a bun in your hair and I turned off the heating, I hope you don't mind"
"Never and thanks. I thought you and Michaela would be doing something today and you won't came here" Ashley started to say, but Shay laughed with that.
"Hey, you asked me to come and I did it" Was the answer of the tanned girl, who looked to her blonde friend with a small smile, as she lay in bed next to her, still touching Ashley's face.
"You're the best" Ashley whispered, snuggling into her best friend's chest, closng her eyes.
"I won't be the best now... Ashley, how long haven't you menstruate?" Shay asked, looking to the blonde with real concern.
"About three weeks, but I did it last month... Shay, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" The blonde rose from the bed, starting to walk with a quick pace on her room. Her face showed a real concern about the possibilty of... Being pregnant.
"Calm down, I have a pregnancy test on the bag" And Shay walked to where her bag was, handing it to Aashley, who went to the bathroom and did it.
After five minutes, Ashley sighed and called Shay, so the tanned girl sauntered through the bathroom door and hugged her friend with a sigh. They sat down on the floor in complete silence, waiting for see the results of the test. The test strip said "Pregnant" if it was positive and if it wasn't, it said "Not Pregnant".
"Ready?" Shay asked to her friend.
"Ready" Ashley nodded taking the test in her hands and as she read it, the strip fell from her hands, while she started to cry, whimpering and sobbing hard.
Before comfort the blonde girl, Shay read a "Pregnant" on the strip and immediately hugged Ashley on the top of her head.
Ashley's POV
Me, PREGNANT?! OH SHIT, NOT NOW!
I can't believe that Ryan just left me after we had some wild sex, three weeks before we broke up. And now, I'm waiting a baby of him. Thankfully Shay is here with me, otherwise, I would passed out and do something stupid.
I don't want this baby, but I'll have it anyway; even if I have to face Ryan for the rest of my days. There's no way that I would abort my future child. Even if having a kid will be difficult, I'll have it and raise it by myself... And with help from other people, like my parents, my sister and my friends too.
Shay's POV
Wow, Ashley is pregnant as I thought. That's shocking for me, and it will be for everyone that will know it sooner or later, included the fans of Pretty Little Liars as well.
However, I'm here for her and she knows it... After all, I'm really proud of my friend because she hasn't spoken about doing an abortion or something like that. And knowing Ash, she'll keep her baby.
Now I'll take care of her, no matter if that will spread rumors about having a romantic relationship with her, I'll be by her side as I've been doing for about four years with this year. Also I'll herl her raising that beautiful baby, because I know that she'll have the custest baby in the world.
"C'mon, we have to book an appointment to the gynecologist and follow her instructions" Shay said, helping Ashley to go to her bedroom and helped her with her clothes and hair too. Then, the tanned girl called to her gynecologist and booked an emergency appointment for that day. Fortunately, her physician told her to go immediately to her office.
Once they reached Shay's gynecologist office, Shay walked inside with Ashley, holding the blonde girl's hand, never letting it go unless it was really necessary.
"It seems like you're really pregnant, miss Ashley" Stated Stephanie, Shay's gynecologist in LA, as she fingered Ashley's belly and stomach, nodding with a small smile. "We should do an ultrasound now. Please go to the next door, undress upward your hips and lie down on the stretcher while I prepare the machine, please."
Ashley did what Stephanie said and then, she applied a cold gel on Ashley's belly, making Ashley have a shiver. Then, she turned off the lights and began to pass the transducer probe through the blonde's underbelly, pointing a small ball with a pen to the ultrasound screen with a smile.
"There is your baby, Ashley. Congrats, it looks healthy" Stephanie whispered the last sentence, apologizing in a low voice, leaving alone Shay and Ashley for a while.
"It's real... I'm having a baby" Ashley started to cry as Shay hugged her, kissing the top of the blonde's head with a small smile.
"We're having a baby, right? I wanna be a mom for your kid... Well, if you say yes, of course" Shay muttered while she wiped the gel of Ashley's belly and the blonde girl smiled, still crying.
"Of course, you'll be a great mommy for my kid" Ashley answered, and Stephanie went with them again.
"So girls, are you ready to come next month together? And I said together, because Ashley needs a lot of emotional support, Shay" The gynecologist looked to the tanned girl, who asked her to book an appointment at the same date that they did now, so in March, they had to go back to the physician and see the baby's progress.
"Thanks for help me today" Ashley whispered once they went back to her apartment.
"It's okay Ash, I'm here for you. Now sleep, I'll be there on a second" Shay was on her pj pants and a small shirt, cleaning Ashley's kitchen, meanwhile Ashley was lying on the bed.
Finally the tanned girl lied on the bed with Ashley, spooning her with a small smile.
"I love you... I really do" Ashley muttered as she started to fall asleep, sighing with happiness because Shay was holding her.
"I do too, baby" Shay kissed Ashley's head, as she moved her hands to the blonde's underbelly, caressing it with her fingertips, anxious to see Ashley's (anod now hers too) baby.
Sooooo... I started to read a book about pregnancy and I had this idea of a Shayley's pregnancy, and I wrote it down, yay! I hope you like it, remember please to review and tell me if you like it. Next chapter is coming soon ;)
