"Zackary Uriah Addy! Get your dumb ass down here, now!" Zack looked
outside of his dorm window and grimaced at the sight of Annie. He raced down
the stairs and met her in the lobby.
The goth stood with her hands on her hips, "Your fucking retarded sperm
cells got me knocked up!" She shoved him into the first floor girls' bathroom.
"What makes you entirely sure it was me, specifically?" He asked her.
"Two months ago, you, me, your room."
"That was completely involuntary sex—" Zack felt bad and all for saying that but
he had to put it out there.
"Are you saying I raped you?"
"Yes."
Annie gave him an I-will-fucking-kill-you look. "You're coming with me. Now." She
grabbed his arm. "I made an appointment at the Planned Parenthood. We're
getting this demon seed out of here!"
"Abortion is murder. Even though an embryo at eight weeks is barely developed
it's still a human life."
"You wanna keep the baby?" Annie growled. Zack nodded. "Say it."
Zack stood up straighter. "I want to keep the baby,"
"You wanna raise it, feed it, and send it to college?"
"Annie, I already have a job at the Jeffersonian Institute. I can get an apartment."
"Say it again. That you want to keep the baby." Annie's hands flew to her
stomach.
"I want to keep the baby."
"Again."
"I want to keep the baby."
Angela's voice broke through the dark bubble of Zack's nightmare, "What baby?"
Zack shot up in bed and looked around. He had been asleep for about two hours.
Angela stood in the doorway to his room. "No baby." He said quickly.
"Who'd you knock up?" She asked, amused. Then her face became serious.
"What the hell happened to you, Zack?"
"Why are you here?"
"Sweetie I live with Hodgens." She sat down on the bed with him. "And I was
worried about you."
"I'm fine." He snapped.
"Why can't you just tell me?" She asked. More than anything Zack wanted to tell
Angela, she would understand. But Zack knew to keep the Annie secret to
himself. He figured that he was smart enough to know when to speak up.
