Hey everyone! Ok, I know I haven't finished The One yet, but that's because I'm suffering from some serious writer's block. So as soon as I figure out what to write next then I will continue. Suggestions are always welcomed. So here's my new story I hope you like it, it's something that came to my mind at the spare of the moment so I decided to put it in writing before I forgot. This may be a one shot, but I'm not sure yet.
The Proposal
Stan Marsh, age 24, was just waking up getting ready for his daily routine. He started out by washing his face and brushing his teeth. Afterwards, he hoped in the shower. After getting out of the shower he was preparing to get dressed when he saw a sad look upon his girlfriend of ten years Wendy's face. "What's wrong babe?" He asks her.
She sighs. "I'm not feeling well."
"What's wrong with you," he puts his hand on her forehead. "You don't have a fever."
"I've been throwing up all morning long. That…and other things."
"Other things like what?"
"Personal female things."
"Well honey, maybe you should go see a doctor."
"I am, I have an appointment today at 11."
"Good, do you need me to come with you?"
"NO! I'm capable of going on my own."
"Well…ok." Stan gets dressed and grabs his briefcase. "Well, I'm out of here sweetie. Call me if you need me." He kisses her on the forehead.
"I will, I'll let you know what the doctor-" She runs off to the bathroom.
"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" He calls out to his girlfriend.
"I'm sure!" She yells back. Stan heads out.
Later that morning, Wendy is at the waiting room in the doctor's office.
"Ms. Testaburger." A nurse calls out. Wendy heads back into the examining room. The nurse asks her a few questions (ladies you know what questions I mean). "Doctor Moore will be in shortly." She smiles at her.
"Thank you." Wendy smiles back as the nurse leaves. Moments later the doctor shows up. "Hi, Ms. Testaburger I'm Doctor Moore. So you've been throwing up a lot lately. Have you been having any other symptoms?"
"Well I've missed a few periods, I've put on a few pounds, and my boobs have grown."
"You know what this could mean right?"
"Umm…no."
"It's possible that you're pregnant."
"Oh whatever. I know I'm not pregnant. My boyfriend and I always use protection. So pregnancy is out of the question."
"Well I want to take a blood test just to be sure."
"Ok, but you're only wasting your time." The doctor administers the test. "I'll be back in a moment with the results." Doctor Moore leaves. 'Pregnant? That's crazy…I can't be pregnant. Stan and I didn't want to have kids until we were at least 30 and married…then again it's always been my dream to be a mother.' Wendy thinks. 'How am I going to break this to Stan?' Moments later, Doctor Moore returns. "Well Ms. Testaburger, it's confirmed, you ARE pregnant."
"Shut up!"
"Excuse me?"
"I didn't mean for you to actually shut up, I meant…oh never mind. How can I be pregnant?"
"Well you see when a man and a woman-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I know all about the birds and the bees ok. This is going to kill Stan."
"I'm sure you're boyfriend will be happy about this."
"I'm sure he will, he'll just…so how far along am I?"
"Well lie down on the examining table and we'll do an ultrasound to find out." Wendy does as she's told. Doctor Moor performs the ultrasound. "Well according to the ultrasound you're 10 weeks pregnant."
"Oh my, I'm further along than I thought."
"Well I want to prescribe you prenatal vitamins to take. They need to be taken daily."
"Ok I'll do that. I want my baby to have to best care."
"I want you to come back in three weeks for a check up. I want to make an appointment with the receptionist."
"I will. Thank you Doctor Moore."
"You're welcome, take care of yourself…and your baby." Wendy leaves. "How am I going to tell Stan? This is going to break his heart."
Later, Stan is at work talking with a client on the phone. "Yes Ms. Jones, we'll be sure to refinance that loan for you. Thank you for calling, if you have any other questions feel free to contact me at anytime. Have a good day." He hangs up the phone. He begins jotting down a few notes when he hears a knock on the door. "Come on in." Wendy comes in his office.
"Hi Stan."
"Wendy, hi. How did your appointment go?"
"My what?"
"Your doctor's appointment?"
"Oh that…it was ok."
"So?"
"So what?"
"So what did they say?"
"I'm pregnant Stan."
Stan gives her a shocked look. "You're p-pregnant?"
"Yeah I am."
"Oh my god, how far along are you?"
"Ten weeks. I'm sorry Stan, I know we said we were going to wait until we got married and-"
"Why are you apologizing? It's partly my fault too. You can't get yourself pregnant. I can't believe this! We're going to be parents. At least I'm having a child with the woman that I love." He hugs her. Wendy has tears in her eyes.
"Yeah…the woman you love." Wendy begins to cry.
"Baby what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Wendy smiles and wipes her tears. "I'm crying because I'm happy. I better go, I'm exhausted."
"Ok, and make sure you get something to eat too. I want a big strong baby."
"I will Stan."
"Good, I'll see you at home." He tries to give her a hug, but she pushes him away.
"Not now Stan."
"Why not? What is it?"
"I'm not in the mood for a hug right now. I'll see you later."
"But Wendy-"
"I said I'll see you later." She storms out of his office.
"That was weird…I wonder what's bothering her." He picks up the phone and calls his best friend.
"Hello?" Kyle answers.
"Hey dude, it's me."
"Oh hey, what's going on?"
"Dude, Wendy's pregnant!"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yeah, she just came to the office to break the news."
"I thought you guys used protection."
"We do, but you know that doesn't always protect you."
"There's a 99 chance that they do."
"Well I guess we fell into that 1 that it's didn't protect. So now we're going to have a baby."
"So…how do you feel it?"
"Well I'm a little nervous about it, I mean we didn't plan this, but I'm really excited at the same time."
"That's good. How does Wendy feel?"
"I'm not quite sure. I mean she hesitated to tell me the news, and then she started crying, but told me they were tears of joy. Then as she was leaving I tried to hug her, but she pushed me away and just ran out of her."
"Maybe she doesn't want the baby."
"I'm sure she does. She's probably under a lot of stress that's all. Besides she always wanted to be a mom. I think I know what really had her upset."
"What?"
"Because we always said we wanted to get married before we had kids."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to do the right thing…I'm going to ask her to marry me."
"Stan, are you sure you want to do this? I mean come on dude, it's crazy to marry someone just because they're pregnant."
"I think it's the right thing to do. I mean we've been talking about getting married for quite some time now. So I really don't see anything wrong with it."
"Well good luck dude."
"Thanks, I guess I better leave early to go ring shopping. I only want the best for my soon to be wife. I'll talk to you later." The two guys hang up. "I think me proposing will make Wendy very happy. Dude, this is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
That evening, back attheir place, Stan finds Wendy sleeping. He shakes her. "Wendy, Wendy wake up." Wendy half-opens her eyes.
"Stan, what do you want? I'm really tired."
"There's something I want to show you in the living room."
"Can you show me later?"
"Oh come on. It won't be the good later."
Wendy sighs. "Fine Stan. Just give me a few minutes ok?"
"I'll be in the living room waiting." He leaves. Wendy gets out of the bed. 'I wonder what he wants to show me.' Wendy thinks. 'Might as well go and see what it is.' She walks out into the living and notices that Stan has set up a candle lit dinner. "You baked?"
"Yup, I made you're favorite…lasagna."
"Thanks, but um…I'm not really hungry."
"Honey you have eat something. If not for you then for the baby."
"I'll eat later." She turns to head back towards the bedroom, but Stan quickly stops her. "Wendy, wait!"
"Stan, I told you I'm tired and I'm not really hungry."
"I just want to ask you something."
"What is it?" Stan gets down on one knee. "Oh my God! Stan…?"
"Wendy, you know I've loved you since the day I laid eyes on. I've always dreamed of spending the rest of my life with you. I know it's been your dream too." Wendy starts crying. Stan is really nervous that he begins to sweat."So…Wendy Testaburger…oh man this is so hard to do…will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Stan pulls out a ring box with a diamond ring in it. Wendy doesn't say anything, she continues crying. "Well…do you?" Wendy continues to cry. "What's wrong? Why is my proposal upsetting you so much?"
"Stan…I…I…"
"You what? You accept?" Stan has a mile wide grin on his face. Wendy is now bawling.
"I CAN'T! I can't marry you Stan." Stan's heart sinks.
"Why can't you marry me? I love you and you love me. Plus we have to do the right thing by our child and get married before he or she is born."
"That's the problem Stan…the baby." She continues sobbing.
"What about the baby?"
"The baby isn't yours." She continues crying. At this point Stan is now crying with her.
Well I don't want to say that this is the end because it might not be. That all depends on you guys! So please review, I love reading reviews.
