It had been a month since Lissa slept with Christian and a month since they last spoke. The last time she tried to speak with him the day after but he just told her off and walked away. She didn't know why that happened but it did. Now here Lissa sat crying in her bathroom staring at a pink plus sign on a pregnancy stick. This couldn't be happening to her, she was going too be a Junior and she lived in someone else's home. A knock on the door took her from her thoughts.
"Lissa" she heard Natalie say.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay in there?"
"Yes, I will be right out" Lissa hid the pregnancy stick and looked in the mirror, she splashed some water on to her face and dried her face off. She opened the door and Natalie stood there.
"Did I hear crying?"
"No" Lissa walked past her and into her room. The blonde shut the door and sprawled out on her bed. Lissa needed to talk to Christian but he was avoiding her, she needed to swallow her pride and go talk to Christian. Lissa made sure the pregnancy stick was hidden safely in her bag and walked out of her room.
"Where are you going?" Natalie asked.
"Going out" was all she said.
"Can I come? My dad isn't home and I'm bored" Natalie didn't have many friends so she wanted to spend time with her best friend. Lissa. The blonde didn't know whether to tell Natalie or not, but she felt bad for the geeky girl.
"Fine, but you have to promise you won't say anything to anyone until I say something to them" Lissa has to make sure that her secret is safe.
"I promise" Natalie nodded, she was just happy too be leaving the house.
While on the bus going to Christian's house, Lissa explained everything to Natalie and the geeky girl had to admit that she was stunned. She agreed not to spoil Lissa's secret because that is not something Natalie was supposed to tell. When the bus stopped two blocks before Christian's house, the girls got out and walked the rest of the way.
"So what are you going to say to him?" Natalie asked.
"I have no idea" Lissa was scared to say the least. When they arrived at the Ozera house, there was no car in the driveway so Lissa knew Tasha wasn't home.
"You ready?" Natalie asked.
"Nope" Lissa walked up the steps and hesitantly rang the doorbell. The girls waited like two minutes before Christian answered the door.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Christian asked looking at Lissa.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
"No" Christian went to close the door but Lissa blocked it from shutting.
"Christian I think I'm pregnant and you're the father" Lissa hurried and told him. Lissa stumbled when Christian swung the door back open and Natalie hurried to catch her.
"What?" He was shocked.
"You heard me" Lissa went into her bag and showed him the pregnancy stick that showed a pink plus.
"Come in" he held the door open for Natalie and Lissa. The blonde walked in first and Natalie right behind her. Christian shut the door and walked into the living room. "How do you know I'm the father?"
"Because I broke up with Aaron two days after we had sex and I hadn't had sex with him in four months and I just got over my period before sleeping with you" she answered.
"You told me that your relationship with Aaron was over before having sex with me" Christian was stunned.
"I was breaking up with him, I haven't been the same since the accident and my relationship with him was falling apart" Lissa explained.
"Did you use a condom?" Natalie asked out of the blue.
"Natalie!" Lissa looked at her friend.
"What? It's a simple question" Natalie looked at Lissa.
"No" Christian felt stupid for not wearing one but he was a virgin and didn't think he'd lose his virginity that fast.
"Well congratulations you're going too be parents" Natalie smiled at the two of them.
"Can we have a minute to talk alone?" Lissa asked Natalie.
"Okay" Natalie walked into the dinning room and let the two talk.
"What are we going to do?" Lissa looked at Christian.
"Oh I am surprised you want me involved, especially after you had your flirtatious with the dark side already" Christian rolled his eyes and gave a light scoff.
"What?" Lissa was confused.
"Yeah, Rose told me you were just using me and all that I was to you was a flirt" Christian exclaimed.
"I never said that, I actually like you" Lissa confessed.
"But Rose said-" he was cut off by Natalie.
"Rose said that because she doesn't like you."
"Wait, you knew?" Lissa looked at her.
"Yeah, she said to keep it a secret but I feel bad because I know how much you guys like one another and now you're expecting" Natalie answered.
"So Lissa never said that?" Christian felt dumb.
"Nope, but Rose knew you'd believe her and dismiss Lissa" Natalie replied.
"I'm sorry Lissa" Christian apologized.
"It's okay, I should have known Rose was behind this" Lissa sighed.
"So what are we going to do?" He repeated what she said before.
"I don't know" Lissa was scared.
"First things first, we have to make sure" Christian said.
"But how? It could be months before we get an appointment and if I am pregnant I'll be showing" Lissa was so confused at this point.
"You can always go to the free clinic" Natalie said coming back into the living room.
"But people will see me" Lissa didn't want too be the talk around town.
"Go to the one an hour away" Natalie shrugged like it was no big deal. "My Uncle works there, I can make a call."
"You'd do that?"
"Yeah" Natalie got out her phone and dialed a number. Lissa and Christian watched as Natalie talked on the phone before hanging up. "My Uncle said that he'll take you right back when you go."
"Thanks Natalie" Lissa was grateful. "How will we get there though?"
"We can always take a bus" Christian suggested.
"Yeah, there is a bus three blocks from here that drops you off right in front of my Uncle's clinic" Natalie cut in.
"Well then let's go" Lissa gestured for the two of them to come.
It barely took an hour because there was no traffic and the bus didn't have to stop that much, when they got to the clinic the three teenagers got off the bus and walked to the clinic that was right across the street from the bus stop. Right when inside, Natalie instantly saw her Uncle and waved to him. She texted him to let him know they were almost there and he was obviously waiting for them.
"Natalie" her Uncle said.
"Uncle Robert" Natalie hugged him.
"Is this your friend?" He asked looking at Lissa.
"Yes" Natalie nodded.
"Just sign this and follow me" he handed Lissa a clip board. Lissa signed her name and handed it back to Natalie's Uncle. He led the three teens back into a room and they saw he already had things set up. "I am going to do an ultra sound so just lay on the bed and lift your shirt up a bit so I can see your stomach" Lissa did as she was told and Robert squeezed some gel on to Lissa's stomach and ran the wand over the gel and looked to the screen he had set up before their arrival. At first he saw nothing until he put it in a different direction. "You see that right there?" he pointed to a peanut. "That is your baby, you're a month along."
"Thank you" Lissa said in a small voice.
"Would you like a picture printed out?" All Lissa could do was nod. Robert left and Natalie excused herself.
"What are we going to do?" Lissa asked in a small voice.
"First things first, do you want this baby?" Christian asked.
"I do but then I don't. I'm going too be sixteen and I have no family but this baby now, I am not sure what to do" Lissa sobbed. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.
"I'm here Liss, you won't be alone" he said.
"You say that now" Lissa continued to sob.
"I mean it" he was being honest. Lissa looked at him and was confused.
"You'd stay and help raise a baby?"
"Yes I would. Like you I lost my parents all I have is my Aunt Tasha, I don't want this child to be aborted or adopted because this is our child Lissa, this is our responsiblity" Christian explained to her.
"I know that but we're still kids" Lissa wasn't sure.
"Lissa, do you really want our baby growing up and calling someone else mom and dad? Or do you want this child to know that even though we had him or her at such a young age we loved them no matter what?"
"I want him or her to know that we loved them" Lissa replied.
"Then lets take responsiblity for this" Christian encouraged her decision.
"Do you think we can?"
"We can figure it out."
"Okay" Lissa nodded in agreement.
"Good" Christian hugged her and she hugged him back.
