Welp I was trying to edit this story on a smart phone and I accidentally deleted it...I realize I'm an idiot and also years ago when I wrote this. ...I did absolutely no work in class sometimes.
I looked down at the white paper with disbelief. I felt stupid, terrified, and strangely happy and relieved. No one in a million years would think this would happen to me.
"Leah? Leah are you alright?" Dr. Cullen touched my shoulder lightly. His icy finger seethed through my hot skin, I straightened at his touch.
"I'm just peachy," I gritted out. I stood to leave, I didn't want to have a break down in front of a leech. "Listen I'm really grateful for you doing this, but I do expect the same confidentiality as your other clients."
"Of course Leah," He said simply.
"That includes your damn kids, I don't care if Esme knows but nobody else. I don't even want my pack to know."
"As a professional I'm held to that confidentiality especially due to your uh…condition. But believe it or not Leah you're like a daughter to me and I will give you my advice. Just because you hush the words doesn't mean they weren't spoken." Uh what?
"Huh?" I sounded like a cavewoman.
"Basically even though you hide this secret doesn't mean you can avoid it. Especially in your condition," he gave me a weak smile. I nodded and began to leave again. "This isn't just YOUR secret you know. Other people are involved," He called out. That I understood, all too well.
I stared at my wall bleakly in my room. Pregnant kept pounding through my mind.
Pounding, that's how I got into this situation.
Pregnant by a man I've only known for 6 months I could say he was my fuck buddy all day, but deep down I know we had a deeper connection; he knew too, he was just being patient with me.
Our 'relationship' details were vague to my friends, family, and pack. Sure they knew about him, but as soon as my peers met him they began a crescendo of break up and wedding predictions. In result, I said as little as possible about him.
I stared at my phone, he had texted me twice while I was in the doctor's office. I convinced myself to stop being chicken shit and tell him.
We need to talk, Call me when you can…
Exactly 2 minutes later his gorgeous picture popped up, I hesitated a quick second but answered it anyway.
"Hello?" I said weakly.
"Hey, uh what's wrong?" His rich voice laced with concern and worry. I sighed deeply and prepared myself to drop the bomb.
"I really don't know how to say this…"
