And nothing came out. he held my hands in his and pulled me toward him,
"tell me." When I looked in his eyes, my blood ran cold. His emerald green eyes were dangerously persuasive, fear and worry hiding behind them. I gulped and looked toward the floor, thinking that soon enough I wouldn't be able to, all I would see is my stomach. All he would see is my stomach. All he would want is to leave me.
"It's just a bug." He eyed me carefully and placed a hand on my forehead, his eyes widening slightly.
"I should bring you to the doctor-"
"NO!" anything but that. He eyed me suspiciously.
"I-i mean I cant. I shouldn't. It's probably just food poisoning. I guess I didn't cook my salmon properly the other day." He shook his head,
"no, I'd rather take you to the doctor-" I shook my head furiously. He couldn't find out I was pregnant, there's no doubt the doctor would tell him. I did my best to smile convincingly and rubbed his arms,
"its fine. It'll pass. I think I'll just get some fresh air, okay?" before he could say anything I darted out the door and headed outside. I could feel his eyes on me through the window, so I headed into the forest. My head felt like it could explode any minute. My entire body was shaky and my head felt heavy. Did I want this? As much as I shouldn't of, I knew I did. I would've been brought to tears if the test was negative. But it wasn't. And I was still brought to tears. I sighed, this was so complicated. If only one person knew. I closed my eyes and imagined it all. Derek. Me. Our baby. My baby's green eyes shining like crystals in the daylight...
"Chloe."
I jumped out of my thoughts and turned to see Simon approaching me. He took a seat next to me on the log and looked as if he was searching for something in my eyes. "Chloe, I, um... I know what's going on..." crap. He found something in my eyes after all. "what are you talking about?" he sighed and looked towards the ground, then back up at me.
"You're pregnant." I still felt myself pale, even though I knew he knew. He rested his hand on my knee. "It's okay. I'm here for you." I nodded and felt tears blur my vision, Simon then holding me in a comforting hug as I sobbed. When we pulled apart he gave me a look of sympathy and grabbed my hand.
"You have to tell Derek." I felt my heart skip a beat at the mention of his name.
I-i-i can't. W-what if he l-leaves me?" I whispered, tears streaming my face again. He wiped them with his thumb,
"Chloe. He'd want to know. He's worried sick about you, you can't keep hiding something like this from him, or else it'll be too late." He was right. I was six weeks along, I was already close to too late. I nodded and he helped me up. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "thank- you Simon." He smiled and hugged my shoulder, "no problem. That's what I'm here for." I nodded to myself. My baby's here for a reason right? Derek's my boyfriend for a reason. I love him for many reasons. My baby needed us both. Derek needed us both.
