Sophie had been in the bathroom for the best part of an hour and knew that people would start to wonder why. All of a sudden she heard her dad call her name from outside the door. "Sophie, are you planning on coming out of there. Cassie said you had locked yourself in here. Is everything alright sweetie? You've been in there for over an hour." He asked her, genuinely concerned.
Sophie sighed. She would get my dad involved the stupid bitch, she thought to herself. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm coming out now. I'll be there in a minute." She called back. She threw the tests and boxes in the brown paper bag and waited for Sandy to go back to the kitchen where everyone else was. After a couple of minutes she went back downstairs to join everyone else, not forgetting to throw the bag under her bed before hand.
"Oh there you, we wondered what happened to you. Are you ok?" Seth asked his younger sister.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She told him.
"Are you sure? You look a bit pale. What were you doing in the bathroom for an hour?"
"I thought I was going to throw up." She lied to him.
"You coming down with something?"
Sophie shrugged. Yes she was coming down with something and that something wasn't going to go away for another 18 years at least.
"Hey dad, yeah, I think Sophie's coming down with something. She just said she thought she was going to throw up." Seth told Sandy as he walked back in to the room, carrying the steaks he had on the barbeque.
"Oh really?" He put the plate down and put his hand to her forehead. "I don't think you have a fever but we'll keep an eye on that ok, Soph?"
She just nodded. If she were two months pregnant already then in a month or two she would start to show. She figured the time wasn't right to tell her dad so she'd wait until it was. At that moment Summer walked in with five-year old Riley and their newborn Ally. "Hey! Seth will you take your son!" she shouted over to Seth who rolled his eyes but took hold of Riley and placed him on the counter. "Ew Seth don't put him there!"
"Why? He's not going to hurt himself, he's nowhere near the knives… this time." Which caused both Sophie and Sandy to turn and stare at Seth with wide eyes as if to say, what the hell?! "Don't ask." He said simply.
"Yeah I know that it's just he had a little accident on the way over."
"Seth!" Both Sandy and Sophie shouted at him.
"How was I supposed to know? You didn't warn me." He said taking the small child off the counter as quickly as he could. "Sorry dad, I'll clean that up as soon as I change him. Come on son." He said taking Riley's hand off to the bathroom, grabbing the diaper bag as he went.
The three remaining in the kitchen just shook their heads. "Hey Sophie can you take Ally please? Don't worry she's asleep at the moment so she'll be pretty easy." She explained handing the baby over.
What the hell, I gotta get used it somehow, Sophie thought to herself. She took the small baby in her arms and started to gently rock her. This isn't so bad, she thought. "Oh this is easy. I could do this no problem." She accidentally said out loud which caused both Sandy and Summer to laugh.
"Oh it may be easy now while she's asleep but wait until she starts crying all through the night and you have to get up to do 3 o' clock feeds." Summer informed her.
"Not to mention the smelly diapers." Sandy pitched in. "Trust me Soph, you won't think it's so easy then. I suggest you wait a very long time to have your own." He said, kissing the top of her head.
"Oh yeah. Hadn't thought about that. Yeah you're right. Don't worry dad, I'll definitely wait a long time." She smile before thinking to herself, is 7 months considered a very long time?
A/N: sorry if this chapter was a bit slow but I'm slowly building up the emotions and trying to portray her naivety towards having a baby so young. Please let me know what you think :)
