Two weeks Later
She opened her eyes and tried to adjust her sight to the bright lights of the room. Her mouth felt like it was full of cotton. She turned to move but her body weighed a hundred pounds. She let her eyes open one at a time. As her vision got better she turned her head and saw her best friend, Glen sitting in a chair next to the bed, holding her hand. She saw IV's coming out of her hand. She was in a hospital. Why? Where? What happened?
"Glen?" She said, coming out as a whisper. She tried to clear her throat and tried again. "Glen!!!"
She reached her hand up and rubbed the top of his head. When did he shave his head? He looked kind of cute with it shaved. How long was she asleep? It was already growing back. She couldn't help but smile as he looked up, rubbing his eyes.
"Athena, you're awake!!!" Glen said, loudly.
"Glen. What happened?" She whispered.
"Don't talk. I'll get the doctor." Glen said, jumping out of the chair and running out of the room.
A minute later Glen returned with a doctor and a nurse. The nurse helped her sit up and drink some water.
"How are you feeling?" The doctor asked.
"I feel okay. I have a little headache. My stomach hurts a little." She said.
"The headache will go away. We'll get you some Tylenol. We'll check on your stomach. Don't want anything to happen to the little one." The doctor said, with a smile.
"Little one?" Athena asked. "What little one? What are you talking about?"
"Maybe you should call her husband." The doctor said, turning to the nurse.
"Why don't you lay down and let them check on the baby?" Glen said, turning his attention to the nurse. "Please call her husband."
"Husband? What husband?" Athena said, turning to Glen. "I bet Mark would be really happy hearing them say that. As for baby. I'm a virgin there is no possible way that I am having a baby without the act of divine intervention, unless you artificially inseminated me while I was asleep. And if you did that I'm going to get Mark to kick your asses. I'll sue all of your asses. There is no possible way I can be pregnant. Glen tell them. Tell them I'm not married. Tell them I'm not pregnant."
"Athena honey just calm down." Glen said, pushing some hair from her face.
"No I will not calm down. Where's Mark?" She demanded.
"Mark went home to take a shower, he'll be back soon." Glen said. "Just let them check on the baby."
"I want Mark now!!!" Athena demanded.
Just then the door opened and Mark ran inside.
"Your awake." He said, rushing to her side. He reached out to grab her hand but Glen stopped her, shaking his head.
Glen was sure it would break Mark's heart when he found out. And Glen knew he was right when he saw the look briefly cross Mark's face as the words passed Athena's mouth.
"Tell them Mark. Tell them we're not married."
