A/N: Sorry it's short, I needed a cliff hanger!
Chapter Two~A Change of Plan
"Patricia." Piper sobbed over the phone. It was February eleventh, exactly one month after the Anubis kids had decided to hook up. Piper was flying in for another music competition that was tommorow, but she was desperate to hear her sister's voice. "Yeah?" Patricia asked. "I think I'm pregnant." Piper choked. "Where are you?" Patricia asked, in shock. "In the airport. My flight leaves in five hours." Piper's flight was supposed to leave over an hour ago, but it had been delayed. "We need to talk about this when you land. I'll tell Trudy to let me pick you up. It's Saturday, she won't care." Patricia would never admit to it, but she was freaking out.
"How many months along do you think you are?" "Maybe one. I'm not sure. I just know it's been two days since I'm supposed to start and I haven't yet." Piper worried. Patricia could have laughed. "That's not a big deal. I'm late all the time." "Patricia, I've never been late a day in my life." Piper said. "I guess you have a point. I'll drive in to town, pick up a test, and meet you at Olive Press. Deal?" Patricia asked. "Deal." Piper agreed.
"Do you have the test?" Piper hissed. Patricia knodded, pointing to her bag. Piper carried it into the bathroom like it was an explosive. Ten minutes later, she came out, with her mascara smeared and her face the colour of a tomato. "It'll be okay." Patricia said, patting her arm. Piper shook her head. "No Trix, it won't be. I could get kicked out of the academy." "So just don't tell anyone until you graduate." Patricia shrugged. Piper wanted to slap her sister. "Trixie, we're juniors and it's February. Pregnancy only lasts nine months, if you're lucky." Piper said, exasperated.
"So drop out of the academy. You act like it's such a hard decision." Patricia said. "Patricia, you don't seem to notice how hard I've worked all my life. I was supposed to go to a fancy music college, then play with the Trans Siberian Orchestra or The London Symphony. I can't just throw all of that away." Piper said. "Well, Piper, you kind of have to because-" Patricia began. "No I don't. I'm getting an abortion." Piper cut in. Patricia's face froze in horror.
"Piper, please tell me you're joking. That's murder. Abortion goes against our religion, and-" "I don't care. I've worked for too long to just throw it all away for one night of fun." Patricia bit her lip. "Oh. My God. Please don't tell me-"Piper said.
