Chapter 1: I'm Sorry, but You're Pregnant
My phone rings loudly.
"Hello." I say without checking the number.
"Is this Ally Dawson?" I hear a female voice ask. Hmm… Sounds familiar.
"Speaking."
"It's Dr. Sullivan, I need to talk to you about your appointment you had a month ago." She says almost shameful?
"Yes? What about it?" I ask shakily. Oh no, something is terribly wrong it must be…
"I need you to come to my office today, it's urgent." She says seriously.
"What time?" I whisper.
"As soon as possible."
"I'll be there in 30 minutes." I say feeling uneasy.
"Good, when you arrive just tell the secretary that I called you." She informs me before hanging up.
I get out of bed to get dressed, I grab my keys heading for the door and I drive to Dr. Sullivan's office in record time, I hurry inside just wanting to know why she wants to see me, is it so bad that she couldn't tell me over the phone? It must be.
"Hi, I'm Ally Dawson, Dr. Sullivan just called me asking me to come in here right away." I say shakily.
"Miss Dawson, please go in." The secretary says politely and I walk into her office.
"Miss Dawson, please have a seat." Dr. Sullivan says politely and I do as I'm told. "This is Lisa, she's here to do a blood test on you, I'll tell you what this is about, but we need to do the test first." She explains and I just nod, Lisa does the blood test before disappearing to get the results, I just wish I knew what they're looking for.
"What's going on?" I ask frighten, the first time I saw Dr. Sullivan was a month ago for my first gynecologic examination so I have no idea how any of this works, but I know it can't be good.
"Last time you were here you told me that you were a virgin, are you still a virgin?" She asks me and I look confused at her, why is she asking me that?
"Yes." I whisper and before she has a chance to respond the phone rings loudly.
"Lisa? What did you find out? …. You sure? …. Okay, I'll tell her …. Can you please get Andrea to contact Austin Moon? …. Yeah just get him to come in here fast and I'll see what I can do … Thank you, Lisa, get her to call me when he's here." She hangs up.
"Is something wrong with me?" I ask frighten.
"No, but I called you in here because you could be pregnant and Lisa just confirmed your pregnancy based on the blood test." She says seriously. What? I can't be!
"No, I'm not pregnant, I told you that I'm still a virgin, there's no way." I roll my eyes to hide my rising panic.
"I'm sorry Miss Dawson, let me explain." She says and I just turn quiet instantly starring at her. "The day you were in here a month ago we had a mix up between you and Mrs. Moon, she was here to get inseminated and you were here for a gynecologic examination. I accidentally inseminated you and now you're pregnant, the father is Austin Moon." She explains. Oh no... "Of course you're not obligated to talk to him." She adds.
"No no no, this can't happen! How am I going to tell my fiancé that I'm pregnant! He'll think I cheated on him." I cry.
"I have to ask, do you know what you want to do about the pregnancy?"
"Honestly no."
"Can I ask you to think about it?" She asks carefully.
"No, no I can't deal with this right now." I shake my head.
"Miss Dawson, please calm down, I want to help you." She says frustrated.
"I can't, I can't. I'm gonna have to go now." I say as I get up, Dr. Sullivan nods and I leave, I know this doesn't solve anything, but I don't know what to do.
I have no idea how to react to this and how to feel about this new information, I never thought I would be pregnant before I even had sex and even worse without knowing who the father is. I shakily put my hands on my belly, I still can't understand that there's a human growing inside me right now.
Once I get home I see Gavin's car in the driveway, we moved in together about a year ago and we're planning to get married in a year from now.
"Hey babe, where have you been?" Gavin asks sweetly when he sees me.
"Just out." I lie.
Austin's P.O.V
My phone rings. "Hello." I answer.
"Mr. Moon?" A female voice asks nervously and for a second I worry that one of my crazy fans got their hands on my number again.
"Yeah, who is this?" I asks.
"I'm sorry, I'm being terrible rude, I'm Andrea doctor Sullivan's PA and she has requested to talk to you and your wife, it's urgent. Can you come in today?"
"Sure of course, when?" I ask suddenly very interested in this conversation.
"Whenever you can spare the time." She says politely and that has me worrying.
"We'll be there soon." I promise before I hang up.
I call Piper and tell her about this weird conversation, it has her just as worried as I feel so we hurry to the clinic. We're allowed in right away and asked to sit down.
"Mr. and Mrs. Moon, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have bad news." She says shamefully.
"I'm not pregnant?" Piper asks fearfully.
"No unfortunately not."
"Are you sure, have you checked?" I asks panicking, this was my only shot I mean they can do a new one, but the chances were high with the last one.
"I made a terrible mistake, there was a mix up between Mrs. Moon and another one of my clients." She explains and I feel confused, I'm not sure I want her to continue.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I inseminated the wrong woman and that means that my other client is pregnant with your child Mr. Moon, I spoke to her a few hours ago and confirmed her pregnancy." She explains and I'm overwhelmed with emotions, I'm sad, confused, lost and the strongest feeling anger.
"How can you even make that kind of mistake?" I snap.
"You may have ruined his chance of ever becoming a father and our chance of becoming parents!" Piper hisses.
"I realize that and I'm very sorry, the assistant I just fired made the mix up and she won't have any sort of carrier in medicine, I made sure of that." She promises.
"That won't fix it because this can't be undone." Piper snaps.
"Piper, stop. What's done is done and we can't change it, but I need to talk to the doctor alone." I say sweetly to her.
"You're too good, Austin." She says as she leaves the room.
"Can I meet her?" I ask.
"I told her she wasn't obligated to speak to you, but I will talk to her and tell her that you're requesting to speak with her, if you intentions are pure, she's a nice girl and this was my mistake not hers she's freaked out enough as it is." She says.
"I know, I won't take this out on her. I just need to see her, I want to know what she's planning on doing and offer to be there for her because despite everything she's pregnant with my child, I want to be the father if she'll let me." I say honestly.
"I always knew you were a good guy Mr. Moon, but you've surprised me, I will speak to her and let you know if she agree to meet you."
"Thank you." I smile.
"We'll talk about settlements when I've talked to her and see if we can avoid a trial." She smiles.
"No matter how angry I am about this I have no need to take this to court, it won't change what happened, it won't fix it and despite what happened I don't doubt that you didn't mean to make the mistake. Actions shows who we are and your actions shows me that you're trying your best to make it right." I smile warmly.
"You're a kind hearted man Mr. Moon, you could have my license taken for this yet you won't." She smiles kindly at me.
"No, you don't deserve that, if you have kept this to yourself I would have, but you didn't and that shows character."
"Thank you."
I nod at her before I leave and go back out to Piper.
"We'll I hope you'll press charges and take her license away." She snaps.
"No I won't. She's not a monster, she made a mistake and she took the consequences so there's no need to ruin her life just because I can." I explain annoyed because she could even suggest it.
"It's not just you, Austin!" She snaps. "I wanted to be a mother as much as you wanted to be a father." She says sadly.
"I'm sorry, Piper, I didn't think about that." I say ashamed. "You know what? I'll have them do another sample and when all of this blows over you and I will have a child together just like we wanted." I promise her.
"You still want that?" She asks surprised.
"Of course I do, you're my wife and I love you, we have both been wanting a child for so long so of course I want it." I kiss her cheek.
"Aus, what will you do if that girl wants to keep the baby?" She asks worriedly.
"Piper, as much as I wish it was you who was carrying my child, at the moment it's not. I want this girl to have my child because despite everything I want to be a father and I have no idea if this will ever happen to me again." I admit.
"How can you even say that? I want to share this experience with you and now you'll experience it with a girl you don't even know?" She asks angrily.
"I want to be a father, if she want to have the child I'm gonna be there with her because after all she didn't ask for this, she innocent." I say having no idea how right I am about that.
"Austin, please think about this for a moment! You'll be tied to this girl for the rest of your life if she keeps that child." She reasons and I see her point, but it won't change my mind.
"Sorry Piper, but my mind is made up. I can't make her have an abortion and even if I could I wouldn't. If she keeps this child then I'll stand by her because I want to be a father and because I don't want my child to grow up without a father."
Ally's P.O.V
I wake up the next morning and everything feels brighter, maybe it was just a bad dream I mean I couldn't really be pregnant when I haven't even had sex, the thought alone is ridiculous. I go to work with my boyfriend, he's a performer and I'm his songwriter, everything just seems normal the way I like it.
I notice an unfamiliar number calling and I know it's Dr. Sullivan, but I end up hitting the ignore button, yesterday had to have been a bad dream there's no way it was real.
For two weeks I ignore every single call from that number, this isn't real.
Austin's P.O.V
"I'm sorry, she still doesn't take my calls and there's nothing I can do until she does." Dr. Sullivan says sadly.
"It has been two weeks! Don't you have her address?" I ask frustrated. We're wasting time and I begin to fear that she either ran off so I'll never see my child or she went to another doctor and got my child removed, that thought is killing me.
"I do, but it would be inappropriate not to say illegal for me to show up there and I can't share her personal information with you, this girl is very young." She says and it makes my heart ache.
"How young?" I ask.
"According to her file she's 20, that's the only information I can share with you other than the fact that I'm certain she's carrying your child." She says apologetically.
"There must be something I can do." I say hopefully.
"I'm afraid the only thing you can do is wait." She says.
Ally's P.O.V
I'm up running for the bathroom again, the last week I've woken up only to run for the bathroom because I felt sick, I just hate throwing up. I get back to bed and lie down, ugh it's awful. Gavin thinks I have the flu, but lately I'm beginning to believe what Dr. Sullivan told me since it would have went away if it had been the flu.
I've been ignoring her calls for three weeks and she has been calling me once everyday leaving a message where she says that she's worried about me and she wants me to come in for a chat. I'm wondering now if maybe I should return her call and speak with her.
I'm more and more sure that I am in fact pregnant because of the morning sickness and the changes I've noticed about my body, my breasts are getting bigger, sensitive and the smell of a few certain things makes me sick.
All of that has me driving to her office a week later after I officially have ignored her calls for a month, I can't ignore it anymore. I walk to the front desk, but before I can introduce myself the woman looks up and her eyes widen.
"Miss Dawson, take a seat and Dr. Sullivan will be right with you." She smiles politely and I just nod, she picks up her phone instantly and not even a minute later Dr. Sullivan comes out of her office.
"Miss Dawson please follow me." She smiles and I get on my feet following her. "Please take a seat." She smiles warmly and I do. "I'm happy you finally came in here, I've been worried." She says.
"I know, I'm sorry, I just couldn't believe or deal with anything you told me a month ago." I say quietly.
"I'm not mad at you, it was my mistake there got you here and I want to do my best to make it right." She says and I nod to show her that I'm listening. "Are you still pregnant?" She asks nervously.
"I didn't get an abortion if that what you're asking." I almost whisper.
"So you're keeping the baby?" She asks.
"I-I d-don't know, after you told me I convinced myself it was a bad dream so I didn't give it much though until I began experiencing morning sickness, at first I hoped it was the flu, but then my body started changing." I explain.
"It's okay to be scared." She promises me.
"I'm not cut out to be a mom." I whisper.
"You'll be alright, you'll see and if you want the baby I'll help you." She says calmly and that makes me relax. "Have you told your fiancé?" She asks and I shake my head no. "I can explain my mistake to him if you should wish." She says politely.
"I'll tell him, but I do want you to explain because I'm not sure he'll take my word for it." I say shakily.
"Could you come back here with him tomorrow at 9am?"
"Yeah, we're both off tomorrow." I agree.
"I hope we could avoid you pressing charges by making some kind of arrangement?"
"We can talk about it, but for now I need to go home and think about all of this." I say stunned.
"Of course, we'll discuss tomorrow."
"Okay, thanks for letting me know and I'm sorry for freaking out a month ago."
"Of course, I would be a terrible person and an even more terrible doctor to keep this kind of mistake from you. It's okay you didn't know how to deal with this, just know that the assistant who made this mistake has been fired."
"Thanks. See you tomorrow then." I say politely and she nods.
"Ally before you go, the father of the child wants to meet with you, can I ask you to think about meeting him?" She asks nervously.
"I'll think about it." I walk out of her office and drive home. I see that Gavin is home and I decide I might as well tell him now, I have to take responsibility for the baby and deal with this.
"Hey babe." He smiles and I give him a weak smile. "Is something wrong?" He asks worriedly.
"Yes, I need to tell you something." I admit.
"What?" He asks looking worried.
"Dr. Sullivan called me a month back about my appointment two months ago."
"Is something wrong with you?" He asks worriedly while I take a seat beside him on the couch. Oh this will be tough to tell him...
"Yes," I admit and he looks at me in panic. "But you need to hear me out without interrupting me." I say nervously.
"Of course, please, just tell me that you're okay."
"Two months ago when I had my first gynecologic examination there was a mix up at the clinic and I was mixed up with mrs. Moon, she was there to get inseminated, but instead the doctor accidentally inseminated me and now I'm pregnant with someone else's baby." I say shameful and he stares at me.
"What? Are you seriously telling me that you're pregnant?" He asks in utter shock.
"Yes." I whisper.
"You're getting an abortion right?"
"I don't know yet, I haven't thought it through." I whisper.
"You have known for a month!" He snaps angrily.
"I know, I just convinced myself it wasn't real until my body started changing." I admit.
"You can't seriously be thinking about keeping it?" He says furiously and that makes me angry.
"Of course I am because I don't think I have the heart to end it, but the doctor want us to come in tomorrow for a chat."
"Good then we can fix this!"
"No! I need to think this though before I do anything because this will stay with me for the rest of my life!" I snap angrily because he's trying to make the decision for me.
"It should be obvious that you won't have another man's baby, a man you don't even know." He snaps.
"You don't get it, do you? There is a little human being in my belly and I don't think I have the heart to kill it!" I snap back in tears and at that his expression softens.
"I'm sorry babe, you wouldn't be you if you didn't have that big heart of yours unfortunately I have to leave because I need to be at Ramone Records in five."
"It's okay, I'll see you later." I say and he leaves.
I feel relived that he left because now I have time to think in peace, I let myself think about keeping a baby I convinced myself wasn't there. I know that starting a life with someone while having another man's baby isn't a great start, but now that I'm alone with the thought and I know it's happening I find myself wanting this child. I can't kill my baby even if it's not Gavin's and if he really loves me he'll stick by me when I tell him that I can't end this pregnancy like he expects me too.
I pet my belly softly and I find the thought of getting rid of my baby sicking, I'll be a mother before I give up my virginity. I spend the rest of the day wondering the same thing as I did the day Dr. Sullivan first told me that I'm pregnant a month ago, who is the father? What is he like? Does he want to be a part of this baby's life when I'm the mother? And most of all does he hate or blame me for this?
A/N:
Hey everyone new story is up, I got this idea when I first watched the trailer to 'Jane The Virgin' and this idea just wouldn't leave my head. I didn't plan on uploading this one just yet seeing as I have a lot of unfinished stories, but let my just make this clear, I haven't abandoned any of my stories and I won't. I just lost my muse.. I'll continue them when I can as for this one, I've written a few chapters so expect an update soon, can't promise when because I have to read them through before posting.
This chapter is a little fast forward because I didn't see any point of writing chapter after chapter where she's in denial, no one would assume she's pregnant anyway. Ally is of course in denial, I mean who wouldn't be? However Austin knows what he wants.
So? Love? Hate? Want me to continue? Please leave a review it feeds my muse :)
