Chapter One: Could I be Pregnant?
Paige is laying on her bed and is half asleep, it has been six weeks since September 28, 2002, which was the night that Dean raped her. Today is Monday, November 11, 2002 and Paige still has not been able to talk about being rape to anyone beside Hazel and Ashley and singing the song poor thing in front of Dean at the battle of the bands did not help either. Plus now she is beginning to worry that there could be another issue that is relation to the rape and she really wishes she would have gone to got check out by a doctor after the rape happened, like Hazel had told her to. Paige's alarm clock goes off again, but instead of hitting the snooze button on the alarm clock again, she turns the alarm off. Paige then gets out of bed and walk out of her bedroom door (if walking out of Paige's bedroom the staircase to the third floor/Attic is to the left and the master bedroom is at the end of the hall on the left-hand side and Dylan's bedroom (can see the front yard from the window) is across from the master at the end of the hall on the right-hand side if walking out of Paige's bedroom). Paige then heads across the hall to the bathroom (which is in between the master bathroom on the left if standing in the doorway and the staircase (that goes from the first floor to second floor/second floor to first floor) on right-hand side if standing in the doorway) and Paige close the bathroom door behind her. When Paige walks into her bedroom a few minutes later, she looks at the clock on her nightstand and sees that she missed spirted squad practice and that she needs to get ready for school, but she doesn't care. Paige lay back down on her bed and fall back to sleep, thinking way have I been so tired the last few weeks? At 7:3o a.m. Dylan's walks up the staircase and turn right (if your back is to the staircase, left if facing the staircase) and walks over to his sisters' bedroom door. Dylan then starts knocking on the door, seeing that he has not see Paige all morning and Hazel called the house and told him that Paige was not at spirted squad practice this morning, which has never happened before.

"Paige you need to get up now and get ready for school!"

When Dylan does not get an answer, he open his sisters' bedroom door and walk into Paige's bedroom. Dylan sees that his sister is still sound asleep, so he walks over to her bed and start shaking his sister to wake her up. Paige rolls over in her bed, so that she is facing her brother. She then opens up her eyes and looks at Dylan.

"You need to get ready for school because it is 7:33 A.M. Paige!"

"Is mom or dad still home?"

"No, both mom and Dad have early meets at work today, so they have already left for work, why?"

"I am not feeling good Dylan. Do you think if I call mom, she would call me in sick today?"

"Paige, you know mom and dad's rule if you not up to going to school you are supposed to talk to them before they leave for work, so you know that mom's will not call you into school sick."

"Ok I am up, will you give me a ride to school?"

"Sure."

Dylan walks out of his sisters' bedroom and closes the door behind him. At the same time Paige gets out of bed and she walks over to her dresser. She grabs a pair of black workout pants, a blue degrassi sprit squad t-shirt and the matching black workout jacket, which goes with the workout pants, along with a pair of socks and a bra. A few minutes later Paige walks into the kitchen (which is at the back of the house) and grabs an apple. She walks out of the kitchen into the hallway and then she walks past the dinning room on right if your back is to kitchen doorway and left if facing the kitchen) and family room/sitting room that is across from dinning room), she then walks past the parlor (on right if back is to kitchen and left if facing the kitchen) and the entry hall (across from the parlor). Paige then walks up to the front door, the whole time eating the apple. When she walks out of the house, a few moments later she sees Dylan wanting for her in the family minivan, which is the vehicle that Dylan is driving until he get his Mustang in two weeks. Paige walks over to the van and opens the back sidle door of the minivan. Dylan looks over at his sister, as she throws her backpack and purse onto the seat of the first bucket seat (the one by the door) and he notices that Paige is eating an apple. He also notices that she wearing workout pants, a spirted squad shirt and matching workout jacket, which is not like his sister (who normal wears the latest style of jeans and a fashionable top to school). A few moments later Paige close the sidle door of the van and then opens the front door on the passenger side. Dylan watch Paige's as she gets into the minivan and he notices that his sister look tired and also notices that she seems down (like she has been for the past six weeks). Paige put her seat belt on, as Dylan starts the van up. Dylan then looks into the review mirror to check for on coming traffic and there is no traffic. Dylan back out of the driveway and then he starts driving towards Degrassi. At the same time Paige is eating her apple and looking at the house that she grew up in, which is a red brick Victorian house. A few moments later Paige has finish eating the apple and she is now wishing that she never ate the apple, because now her stomach is upset like it has been for the last three weeks. The whole-ride to Degrassi community school, Paige's look out the window on the passenger side of the van and does not talk to her older brother. As Dylan pulls into the parking lot of Degrassi, Paige starts yawning and wishing that she was at home in bed. A minute and half later Dylan and Paige are walking up the front steps of Degrassi. Paige and Dylan each open up one of the doors and head into the school building. Dylan walks away from his sister to go found his friends and Paige head straight to her home room class, which is in the M.I. lab with Mr. Simpson. Once in the M.I. lab Paige take a sat in the first chair by the classroom door. Paige then set her backpack and purse on the floor. At the same time Hazel's walk into the lab and takes a sat next to Paige.

"Paige is everything ok, you missed spirit squad practice this morning and Manny had to run practice for you?"

"Sorry about that Hazel's I over sleep, I have been feeling funky (means feeling sick) all weekend and I think that I am coming down with something."

"Paige, you are looking pale today, do you have a upset stomach, headache or any other symptoms?"

"I have a headache, tired, my stomach upset and my monthly late Hazel!"

"That not good!"

"I know."

At the same time Terri, Ashley and Ellie walk into the room and then the three of them sat down by Hazel and Paige, who has just closed her eyes. Paige then wraps her arms around her stomach. Ashley, Terri, Ellie and Hazel look at Paige, with a worried look on they faces.

"It sounds like you are coming down with the stomach flu Paige!"

"I hope not Ashley's, because the spirit squad has the first cheerleading meet of the season on Saturday and I can't miss the meet!"

"What is taking Mr. Simpson, so long to get to the M.I. lab?"

"Class does not start for another three minutes."

"I know that Hazel, but for once can't Mr. Simpson be in the classroom, before the bell rings."

"I sure Mr. Simpson will get here soon Paige."

"I hope so Terri, because my stomach really upset right now."

Do you have a fever Paige?"

"I do not think so Ellie."

Hazel puts her left hand on Paige forehead and a moment later take her hand off Paige's forehead. At the same time Ellie, Ashley, Terri and Hazel notice Paige has started to look green.

"It does not feel like you are running a fever Paige!"

"Thanks Hazel gagging, I do not think I was running a fever."

"But it does look and also sounds like you are not feeling good Paige."

"I really do not feel good and my head is killing me can we stop talking Hazel?"

"(Terri, Ashley, Hazel and Ellie) Sure Paige."

Paige, Ashley, Terri, Hazel and Ellie stop talking and seeing that class is going to start soon the five of them turns on the computers that they are sitting in front of. Mr. Simpson walks into the classroom right as the bell ring and at the same time Paige rise her hand. Mr. Simpson looks over at Paige, as he set the attendance book, grade books, paperwork and his other things on his desk.

"What do you need Paige?"

"I need to use the restroom."

"Class just started can you wait?"

"No!"

"Are you sure you can't wait?"

"I really can't wait Mr. Simpson."

"Then you can go to the restroom Paige."

"Thanks."

Paige stands up and walks out of the M.I. lab, but once in the hallway she takes off running, at the same time Paige puts her left hand over her mouth and does not stop running and once in the restroom Paige runs into the first stall and kneels down in front of the toilet. Paige then takes her hand off her mouth, as she leans over the toilet and then start throwing up. Three minutes later she walks out of the girl's restroom and walk back to the media immersion lab, with her arms wrapped around her stomach. When she reaches the close door of the M.I. lab, Paige unwraps her arms and opens the door. She then walks into the classroom and over to Mr. Simpson desk.

"What do you need now Paige?"

"I need to go to the nurse."

"And why do you need to go see the nurse?"

"I threw up in the restroom."

"Ok I will write you a pass to see the school nurse."

Mr. Simpson writes a pass out for Paige and then hands the pass to her. Paige takes the pass from Mr. Simpson and then walks over to where she was sitting at. Paige grabs her backpack and purse off the floor and then walks out of the M.I. lab, she then heads to the nurse station. Paige walks into the nurse station a couple minutes later and walks pass the nurse desk, which is up against the left wall if you just walk through the door. She then walks by the scale and up to the examination table. Paige takes a seat on the examination table, since someone is laying on the recovered couch that is in the center of the room. Paige then waits to be seen by the nurse who is busy at the moment. Paige looks around the room at the gray walls and gray floor tile that have black dots on the tile. She then looks at the different medical posters that are on the wall. A few minutes later Nurse Mckey (a middle age man, who has blue eyes and blonde hair and is starting to go bald) walks over to Paige. Paige hands the nurse the pass that Mr. Simpson wrote and the nurse looks at the pass and then looks at Paige.

"The school day has just started and you are the third person to be sent to see me today. Why are you here Paige?"

"I have a headache, upset stomach and I threw up in the restroom about seven minutes ago."

"I am going to get a thermometer and then I am going to take your temperature."

"Ok."

Nurse Mckey walks over to his desk and grab the digital thermometer and a probe cover. He puts the cover onto the thermometer and turns the thermometer on as he walks over to Paige. He hands Paige the thermometer and she puts the thermometer into her mouth. When the thermometer beeps the nurse takes the thermometer out of Paige's mouth and looks at the display.

"You do not have a fever."

"Oh, do I have to go back to class, because my stomach still upset?"

"No, I am sending you home sick, seeing that you vomit once already. I will call your mom to let her know that I am sent you home sick and I will also write you a pass saying that you can leave school. I will also write a pass that will let your brother out of school long enough to take you home and then comes back to school."

"Thanks."

Nurse Mckey walks over to his desk taking the probe cover off the thermometer. He throws the used probe cover into the trash can that is next to his desk and then puts the thermometer away. The nurse takes a sat at his desk and fill out passes for both Paige and Dylan to leave school. At the same time Paige hops off the examination table and grabs her backpack and purse off the examination table. She then walks over to the nurse desk and Nurse Mckey gives her the passes. Paige then walks out of the nurse stations and walks to the classroom that her brother first hour class is in and knocks on the classroom door. Mrs. Kwan walks up to the classroom door and open up the door to see Paige standing at the door holding her stomach.

"Paige can I help you?"

"I have to go home sick and the nurses wrote my brother a pass to let him out of school long enough to drive me home."

Paige saws the passes to Mrs. Kwan and Mrs. Kwan looks at the pass. Then Mrs. Kwan walks over to Dylan, who is sitting in the front row and in the first chair of the row.

"What Mrs. Kwan?"

"Paige is at the door, she just came from the nurse station and is being sent home sick because she threw up in the restroom. Dylan's you need to take Paige's home and then you need to come back to school."

"Ok Mrs. Kwan."

Dylan stands up from the chair he is sitting on and he grabs his backpack and keys off the table. Dylan then walks to the classroom door and walk out of the classroom and into the hallway. Once in the hallway, he close the classroom door and then looks at his sister.

"I should have let you call mom this morning, when you said that you were not feeling good. And why did you not tell me that is was your stomach that was bothering you?"

"It is all right Dylan, gagging and it would not have made a difference, mom would have made me come to school seeing that I do not talk to before she left for work and I do not have a fever or throw up until after I got to school. Can you take me home now?"

"Sure Paige, let go."

"Thanks."

Dylan and Paige walk to the main doors of the school and then the two of them walk out of the school and over to the student parking lot. As they walk up to the family minivan Dylan looks over at Paige and see that she looks pale and a little green. At the same time Paige runs over to the trash can that is at the edge of the parking lot. When Paige reaches the trash can, she lean over the trash can and start throwing up. Dylan unlocks the van doors and then opens the drive side door. Two and half minutes later Paige opens the passengers' door of the van and then gets into the van. Paige set her backpack and purse on the floor. She then put her seat belt on and lean the seat back. Dylan looks over at his sister, who has wrapped both her arms around her stomach.

"Are you going to make it home without getting sick, or should I go back into the school and get an emesis basin?"

"I should be fine now, all I eat today was an apple."

"Ok."

A few moments later, Dylan is driving away from Degrassi and Paige is resting her head on the head rest of the passenger seat and has her eyes close. When Dylan pulls into the driveway he looks over at his sister and notices her eyes are close.

"Paige we are at the house now, are you going be ok by yourself or do you want me to stay with you?"

"Go back to school Dylan, I will be fine beside the nurse call mom to let her know that I was sent home form school sick."

"Ok, but if you need me, call my cellphone and I will come home."

"Ok Dylan, is that because Mom will not be able to get out off work today seeing that she has important meeting all day?"

"Yes and so does Dad. Are you a hundred percent sure that you will be all right being home alone all day Paige? I can stay home if you want me to?"

"No go back to school Dylan. If I need you, I will call you cellphone."

"Ok."

Paige set the seat up and then takes her seat belt off. She then opens the van door and gets out of the van. Paige grabs her backpack and purse off the floor and then she closes the van door. She then waves bye to her brother, as she walks up to the front door. At the same time Dylan watches Paige walks up to the front door of the house. Dylan also waits until Paige is in the house to leave, he then back out of the driveway and heads back to school. Meanwhile, Paige walks into the entry hall and then walks over to the staircase. She heads upstairs and once in her bedroom, she kicks her shoes off and drops her backpack and purse onto the floor at the end of her bed. Paige then walks over to her dresser and gets out a clean pair of Pajama. Paige then changes into a pair of pink pajama pants and the matching top. Paige then unzips her backpack and takes her student planner out, she looks at her student planner. She then starts counting the days since her last monthly and she is talking to herself.

"No, it can't be, my last monthly start August 30 through September 3, 2002. This is not good, What I'm I going do now?"

Paige start crying and she throw the student planner back into her backpack. She then lay down on her bed and pulls the cover up and does not stop crying, until she goes to sleep. Two hours later Paige wakes up and jumps out of bed, she puts her left hand over her mouth and run over to her bedroom door. She then runs out of her bedroom and into the bathroom, she runs past the sink and trash can. Paige then runs over to the toilet and drops to her knees in front of the toilet (the bathtub/shower combo is next to toilet on the right if facing the sink, toilet or trash can). Paige then takes her hand off her mouth, as she leans over the toilet and she starts throwing up into the toilet. When she stops thrown up, she leans up against the side of the bathtub and closes her eyes for a few minutes. She stands up a few minutes later and head into her bedroom, to see her mom sitting on her bed. Mrs. Michalchuk stands up from her daughter bed. She then walks up to her daughter and put her right hand onto to Paige's forehead.

"Mom, why are you not at work you have meeting all day?"

"I reschedule the meeting, because I thought that it was more important to be at home with my sick daughter."

"Thanks mom."

"You are welcome Paige. How are you feeling?"

"Not good mom my stomach upset and I can't keep anything down."

At the same time Paige pulls away from her mom and run back into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom Paige kneels down in front of the toilet and starts throwing up again. Mrs. Michalchuk hears Paige throwing up and walks out of her daughters' bedroom and walks over to the opening bathroom door. When Paige stops getting sick to her stomach, she leans up against the side of the tub and looks at her mom.

"I am taking you to the Doctor right now Paige, because I am worry about you."

"Why are you worried about me Mom?"

"Because you do not have a fever, but you keep throwing up and you have been sleeping more then normal the past few weeks. Plus you just seemed to be out of short the past six weeks."

"Oh and I'm not change. I'm going to the doctor in my pink pajama mom!"

"That fine."

Paige stands up and walks up to the bathroom door with her arms wrapped around her stomach. Mrs. Michalchuk steps back from the door and lets Paige out of the bathroom. Paige walks into her bedroom and puts her white tennis shoe on and then grabs her purse. A few minutes later Paige is sitting in the passenger seat of her mom 2001 red ford focus and her mom is taking her to the Health Center, Paige is also thinking about what happened six weeks ago. Mrs. Michalchuk stops for a red light and looks over at her daughter, Paige looks at her mom and then start crying. At the same time the light turn green, Mrs. Michalchuk looks both way to back sure the cars in the other line have stopped and a moment later Mrs. Michalchuk is driving through the intersection.

"Mom there is something I need to tell you before we get to the health center and please do not interrupt me as I am telling you!"

"Ok Paige's what do you need to tell me?"

"Six weeks ago on Saturday I went to a party with Hazel that Dean's the Bardell soccer team captain was throwing. Dean and I went upstairs and into one of the bedrooms so we could talk, but once in the bedroom we take a sat on the bed and then he starts to make out with me. I was uncomfortable with how fast he was moving and tell him to take it slower, but he would not slow down. Before I know it, he was pulling a condom out of his back pocket and then he was unzipping my skirt and pulling my underwear off, I tell him to stop and then tell him no, I do not want to have sex. But he would not stop mom, Dean's rape me mom and what make it worse is that I do not go to the police or to the hospital to get check out, I just come home after the party and take a shower. The only one that knows that I was raped beside you is Hazel and Ashley."

Paige stops talking, but Mrs. Michalchuk's doesn't say anything to Paige because she is in shock over what her daughter just told her. At the same time Paige looks out the window and starts crying. Paige starts to wipe the tears off of her face as her mom pulls into the parking lot of the health center, Mrs. Michalchuk pulls her car into the first parking space in the fourth row and then puts her car into the park position. She turns the car off and then takes the key out of the ignition. Mrs. Michalchuk then takes her seat belt off, she then leans over and gives her daughter a bear hug.

"Paige why did you wait so long to tell me Paige?"

"I do not know how to tell you mom."

"That all right Paige, let head into the health center and get you check out now."

"Ok mom."

Paige takes her seat belt off and then Paige and her mom get out off the car. The two of them walk up to the health center and head into the building. Mrs. Michalchuk then walks up to the admitted desk and signs her daughter name on the first free space that on the list for patient that do not have an appointment and write needs a full check up because of been raped six weeks ago and not report the rape or getting check out, but now is not feeling good. At the same time Paige walks over to the waiting area and take a sat in the first chair in the second row of seats. A few moments later Mrs. Michalchuk takes a sat next to her daughter and looks at Paige.

"What do you write down for my reason that I need to see a doctor mom?"

"I wrote down that you need a full check up, because of been raped six weeks ago and not report the rape or get check out and now you are not feeling good!"

"Ok."

A few minutes later, a young looking nurse that is thin and also has red hair and brown eyes opens the door that leads back to the exam rooms. The nurse is also holding a patient file in both her hands.

"Paige Michalchuk."

Paige and her mom stand up and then walk up to the door and see the name tag on the nurse purple scrub top say Nurse Rigby. The nurse walks into the hallway and over to the scale. Paige and Mrs. Michalchuk's walk into the hallway and Mrs. Michalchuk shuts the door behind her. At the same time Paige walks over to the scale and step up onto the scale. The nurse check Paige weight and then see how tall Paige is and then the nurse writes down a few notes on Paige chart. Nurse Rigby walks into exam room number three and Paige and Mrs. Michalchuk follows the nurse into the exam room. Paige takes a seat on the examination table and Mrs. Michalchuk takes a seat in the chair that is up against the wall and across from the examination table. At the same time the nurse grabs the blood pressure cuff off the counter (which is on the left wall if you just walk through the exam room door) and then walks over to Paige. Nurse Rigby put the blood pressure cuff onto Paige left arm and then take Paige blood pressure and her heart rate. A few moments later the nurse takes the blood pressure cuff off Paige arm and set the blood pressure cuff back onto the counter. The nurse then writes a note onto Paige's chart.

"How is my daughter blood pressure and heart rate?"

"Paige's blood Pressure and heart rate is in the normal range."

Nurse Rigby then set the chart onto the counter and grabs the ear thermometer and puts a probe cover onto the ear thermometer. She walks over to Paige and puts the thermometer into Paige's left-ear. When the thermometer beep the nurse takes the thermometer out of Paige's ear and looks at the display. The Nurse then walks over to the counter as she is taking the probe cover off. She throws the probe cover out and then puts the thermometer down on the counter. Nurse Rigby then writes down on the chart that Paige temperature is normal.

"Do I have a fever?"

"No Paige your temperature is normal, which is good. Dr. Eeyore is in with a patient right now, but when he is finish with that patient he will be in to see you."

"Ok."

Nurse Rigby set the chart on the counter and then she walks out of the exam room. The nurse close the door to the exam room and flips the status flags that mean this patient is next. Meanwhile, inside the exam room Paige is staring at the picture that is on the wall. Ten minutes later there is a knock on the door, then the door opens up and a man that looks to be around forty-five years old with hazel eyes and thin brown hair walks into the exam room. Dr. Eeyore looks at Paige and then looks at Mrs. Michalchuk. The doctor walks over to the counter and picks up Paige's chart.

"So what brings you in to see me today, Paige?"

"I have not been feeling good the last few weeks. Also my monthly is late and I had upset stomach for three weeks. Then I wake up with a headache this morning and have been throwing up. Plus six weeks ago I was raped, but do not report the rape or go to the hospital to get check for STD or pregnancy."

"Sorry to hear that Paige, I will give you a full physical and see what is making you feel sick."

"Ok Dr. Eeyore."

Dr. Eeyore picks up Paige charts and writes down what she just told him. He then set the chart back on the counter and takes a penlight out of the right pocket of his white lab coat. Dr. Eeyore then turns the penlight on and walks up to Paige.

"I need you to open you mouth and say ah for me."

"Ah!"

Paige keeps her mouth open and Dr. Eeyore shines the penlight into Paige's mouth and sees that Paige's throat and tonsils are looking healthy. Dr. Eeyore turns the penlight off and then puts the penlight back into his pocket. At the same time Paige close her mouth. Dr. Eeyore then feels Paige's neck to make sure that her lymph nodes and thyroid is normal sizes or if there are swell, he finds that Paige thyroid and lymph nodes are normal size. Dr. Eeyore walks back over to the counter and makes a few notes on Paige chart then Dr. Eeyore looks up at Paige.

"Are you having any trouble seeing?"

"No."

Dr. Eeyore then does an abdominal exam followed by a neurological exam and then writes more notes on Paige's chart. Then the doctor does a breast exam, which is followed by a pelvic exam that Paige finds uncomfortable. When the pelvic exam is over, he walks back over to the counter and writes more notes on Paige's chart. Dr. Eeyore then looks at Paige, who is crying.

"I am going to have a nurse come in and drew some blood, so we can run a complete blood count, test for STD's and check for pregnancy because I think that you might be pregnant. Also, the nurse is going to ask you to go into the restroom and pee into a urine collection cup, Paige. Because I need to run a urine test to check your pH levels, protein and glucose. The nurse will draw the blood first and then have you use the restroom, once you give the nurse the urine collection cup, you can head to the check-out desk, that is on the way out and make an appointment for Thursday to come in and get your tests result Paige."

"Ok, can I go back to school tomorrow?"

"No, I want you to stay home and rest until we know what is causing you to feel sick Paige."

"Ok Dr. Eeyore."

Dr. Eeyore walking out of the room and a few minutes later Nurse Rigby walks back into the exam room. Ten minutes later Paige and Mrs. Mrs. Michalchuk walk out of the health center and are walking to Mrs. Michalchuk's car in the parking lot.
