An Answer in Blue
Ephram looked at the clock, it was 10:45. He and Amy were getting ready to go to bed and Amy was in the bathroom, probably just getting out of her shower. Ephram took off his wedding ring and put it on the dresser next to where Amy put hers and her engagement ring. Ephram smiled to himself, remembering the day he proposed to Amy...
Flash back
"Ephram, why are we at the carnival?" Amy asked, because when Ephram said that it was a special date, she didn't think that he'd bring her to the carnival.
Ephram just smiled and said, "What, you don't like carnivals?"
"No, it's just...it's just...never mind," Amy said.
Ephram kissed her and said, "Wanna ride on the ferris wheel?"
Amy smiled, "Always," she said.
When they had gotten to the top, the ferris wheel suddenly came to a stop. "Bring back any memories?" Ephram said.
"Yes," Amy said, "Our favorite place." Ephram looked out at the city of Everwood; you could see all of Everwood from here. Amy rested her head on Ephram's shoulder and then Ephram turned to her, "Amy, do you love me?" he asked.
Amy lifted up her head and smiled, "More than anyone or anything," she said.
When she said that, Ephram knew it. He knew that he could do it now. He couldn't wait any longer. And this was the perfect place to do it.
"Good, becuase I need to ask you something," Ephram said, kneeling down on the little ledge that the ferris wheel had for your feet.
"What-oh. Oh, God," Amy said, her eyes growing wide.
"Amy, I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know that we're nineteen, but we'll be twenty soon, and I can't wait any longer," Ephram said.
"Oh, Ephram," Amy said softly.
"Amy Abbott, will you marry me?" Ephram asked, presenting her with a ring.
A smile quickly spread across Amy's face, "Yes, Ephram. Yes, I'll marry you," she said.
Ephram's heart pounded. He put the ring on Amy's finger, and then kissed her long and passionately. Then they laughed and hugged eachother hard.
"Oh my God, we're getting married!" Amy said excitedly.
Ephram smiled, "We can wait until we're twenty to get married. It's only a couple months off," Ephram said.
Amy nodded and said, "It'll take us that long to plan the wedding anyway." Ephram saw a light in her eyes that he'd never seen before. He knew that she wanted this just as bad as he did. He kissed her again and after they pulled apart, Ephram said, "Oh, crap, I almost forgot." He leaned over the edge of the ferris wheel, "Okay, we're done!" Ephram shouted.
"Did she say yes?" the guy operating the ferris wheel asked.
"Yeah!" Ephram shouted.
"Woo hoo!" the guy shouted, started to operate the ferris wheel again.
Amy looked at Ephram in surprise, "How did he-"
"I paid him ten bucks to stop the ferris wheel when we were at the top so that I could propose to you," Ephram said.
"Oh, Ephram, I love you so much," Amy said hugging him.
Ephram was so happy, "I love you too, Amy. More than the view at the top of a ferris wheel..."
Ephram smiled at the memory. That was the best day of his life next to his wedding day. "Hey, Ephram," came a voice from behind him.
Ephram turned around to find Amy standing in the doorway in her blue bath robe. Her hair was towel dried, but not completely dried yet. "Is that all you're wearing?" Ephram asked her.
Amy smiled mischeviously and walked over to him, "Why don't you find out?" she whispered in his ear.
Okay, totally a cue Ephram thought to himself. Ephram kissed her, and then all of the sudden whipped her around and pulled her down onto the bed with him. She squealed with surprise and wrapped her arms around him. He slid his his through te front of her robe and around to her back. He felt bare skin. He lifted his head up and smiled. She smiled.
"Might as well break in our new bed," Amy said. Ephram nodded and kissed her again, loving this moment so much, especially since now, they were married.
About, five minutes later, Aamy pulled away and yawned big and loud, "You tired?" Ephram said stroking her cheek with his finger. Amy nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I've just been really tired lately."
"Don't ever apologize to me for something like that. We're married now, remember?" Ephram reminded her.
"How could I ever forget," Amy said.
Ephram smiled and retrieved Amy's bathrobe from the floor next to the bed. She put it on her as Ephram got up to turn off the light. When he got back in bed and under the covers, Amy cuddled up next to him, and he wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you," Amy said sleepily.
"Ditto," Ephram whispered. Amy buried her head closer into Ephram's side, and Ephram lightly rested his head on hers. She fell asleep within seconds, and Ephram closed his eyes too. Finally, he drifted off to sleep, with Amy softly sleeping in his arms.
"Amy Brown, are you alright?" Mrs. Tomsen asked Amy in school the next day, "You look pale."
Amy was feeling sick, "Uh...yeah...I just...I just need some water," Amy said hurriedly leaving the classroom. As soon as she got out of the classroom, she broke into a run to the bathroom. She ran in ran into one of the stalls, slamming the door open. She fell to her knees and threw up into the toilet. She flushed the toilet with her shaky hands and walked over to the sink. She rinsed out her mouth and then splashed water onto her face. She grabbed a couple of paper towels from the dispenser and wiped her face. What's happening to me? Amy thought worriedly. She felt tears well up into her eyes, and then she quickly blotted them away. Ok, why am I crying about throwing up? Amy thought. Amy was so confused. She had been feeling weird lately. Her stomach had been bothering her lately and she was sometimes very hungry. And all the emotional stuff? What was that? Amy was emotional but...come on. And the thing with the bird bath, Amy thought, I wanted to cry when I saw that, I was so happy. I know Ephram thought I was just being me but... Amy stopped dead. Something caught her eye in the mirror. She slowly turned around.
On the wall was a tampon dispenser. Amy stared at it, Tampons. Periods. The last time I had my period was... Amy ran back into the stall and threw up again.
"Hannah," Amy said into the phone.
"Amy? Is that you?" Hannah asked.
"Yeah," Amy said in a small voice. She was outside of the school and was on the ground with her back leaning against the building.
"Amy, are you alright?" Hannah asked.
Amy wanted to cry, "Hannah, pleez come pick me up," she said.
"But, don't you have class?" Hannah asked.
That was true, she did. But Amy just ran out of the bathroom and out of the school. She couldn't go back in there. Not when she might be...
"Hannah, please," Amy said desperately.
"Okay, I'm on my way, Amy," Hannah said hanging up.
Amy couldn't remeber how long she was waiting for Hannah. Not very long, probably, but it seemed like forever.
"Amy, what's wrong?" Hannah said running up to her friend.
"Hannah, I'm late," Amy whispered.
"What do you mean? Amy, you're scaring me. What do you mean by late?" Hannah said.
"Hannah, my period. It's late," Amy said.
Hannah's eyes widened, "Oh, Amy, you don't think you could be..." Hannah couldn't finish. She couldn't say it. She waited for Amy.
"Oh, Hannah, I don't know!" Amy said throwing her arms up in the air. "I mean, I didn't even realize that I was late until now. I mean, I've been throwing up and getting all emotional and..." her voice trailed off.
"Oh God, Amy," Hannah said, "I mean, when was the last time you had your period?" Hannah asked.
Amy was ready for this one. She had already thought about it, "The last time was a couple weeks before you, me, Ephram and Bright went to that cabin for the weekend." she said.
Hannah's eyes widened, "That means that you would be pregnant for-"
"Four and a half weeks," Amy said, "And it probably was when we were at the cabin because after then, the only other time was on our wedding night and last night," Amy said.
"Amy, do you really think you could be?" Hannah asked her best friend.
"There's only one way to find out," Amy said.
"Okay, Amy, I'll be right here outside the stall," Hannah said.
"Okay," Amy said. Hannah hugged her tightly and then Amy went into the stall. She followed all the directions on the little box. She didn't know what to think, Am I happy? Am I upset? I know that this could be a good thing, I mean Ephram and I are married but...God, I'm just so young. And I'm not even out of college yet! Amy took a deep breathe and inserted the little slip into the meter. Amy waited, holding her breath, and then there was her answer, in a thin blue line...
