Chapter 3
"You are surely out of your mind!" screamed Adam trying to appear angry.
Adam repeated the scene of the last afternoon in his mind over and over again. He still was shocked by what Eli had said. He couldn´t understand what had make Eli take that dentition.
"Come on Adam. It´s not a bad idea. I would take all responsibility in front of the school and your parents and when he or she is born I could help you taking care of him." said Eli with a half smile on his face.
Adam played with his cereal unaware of everything around him.
"Why?"said out loud. Adam couldn´t think of any possible reason of why could Eli wanted to do that. 'Why do you want to ruin your reputation and your life for me? He is not even yours!' he thought bitterly.
"What´s wrong babe?" asked his mom as she sat in front of Adam with a cup of coffee between her hands. Adam raised his gaze and looked at his mom surprised. He didn´t remember that she was in the kitchen with him and Drew. Adam just shook his head tired. "You haven´t eaten any of your cereal."
"Maybe Adam is just tired mom." answered Drew in a low voice as he finished packing and apple on a paper bag. He had another one over the table that Adam thought was his.
The woman frowned upset; she was always worrying about other people that Adam wondered if she even had time to worry about herself. Not that he didn't like his mom being always fort them but sometimes she could get...overprotecting.
Suddenly a loud car horn made Adam aware of the time; school time. He stood up abruptly and tried to grab his lunch bag. Seconds later the nauseas arrived. The floor moved a little bit under his feet and for a moment he thought he was going to fall. He managed to support himself with the table and control the urge of threw up. Drew ran toward Adam and tried to hold him by the arm.
"ADAM!" screamed his mom shocked as she touched Adam´s forehead trying to found any sign of fever.
"I´m fine." answered Adam as he recovered his balance. "I think I got up too quickly and I felt dizzy for a moment. But now I´m fine."
The horn sounded again but this time it was longer. Eli was waiting for him.
"Eli is going to take me home today." announced Adam, Drew let go Adam´s arm and gave him a supportive look. "Do you want to come?"
Drew shook his head heavily. Adam smiled and kissed him mom goodbye. She didn´t felt pleased by letting Adam go to school but she knew it would be good to him. Being with friends that supported him with his "transtorn".
"Good bye Gracie." she whispered when Adam was far away to hear her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"So are you ready?" asked Eli as he parked his car on the parking lot. Adam was hugging his bag and held it against his chest. Eli could see his was worried. "You look sick."
"No, it´s just the morning nauseas." lied Adam. He was aware it was too soon for people to notice his pregnancy but still the fact that HE knew it made him nervous. Like if only by his look people would magically guessed. Eli stepped out of the car and seconds later Adam followed him. Nobody was going to find out. It was pretty impossible.
Eli and Adam entered to the school trying to act normal. Eli had asked Adam about a new comic and the chat had gone on by its own. Maybe going back to normal wouldn´t be as hard as Adam imagined.
"ELI! ADAM!" shouted Clare as she left Ali on the hallway and ran toward them. Adam gulped as he realized that the other girl was staring fiercely at him. Suddenly the dizziness returned but this time worse than ever. Adam leaned on the lockers and closed his eyes trying to make the feeling go away. It didn´t worked.
"Adam are you feelongh okay?" asked Clare as she put her hand over Adam´s shoulder. He felt his half brakfast travel up through his throat burning it and making it swallow.
"Sorry." was the only thing he managed to tell before he started running toward the boy's bathroom. He tried to keep everything inside before he got to the bathroom but the arcades were getting worse and worse. When he finally saw the bathroom door he pushed I open and in the first toilet he found empty he threw up.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"What´s wrong with Adam?" asked Clare as she saw how Adam ran across the hallway with his hand covering his mouth.
"I think he ate something bad this morning." lie Eli as he picked up his bag from the floor. "I´ll go and check on him."
Clare nodded with his head and let Eli ran behind Adam.
The black haired entered to the bathroom and heard Adam throwing up. He could also smell the vomit but he kept cool and took out a bottle of water and Clorets from his bag. He waited some seconds in complete silence until he heard the toilet flush. After that a paler Adam exited as he cleaned his mouth with paper. Eli handed him the bottle of water and Adam accepted without saying a word.
"Better?" asked Eli with a low voice. Adam drank a lot of water and then he spitted on the sink. He couldn´t get the nasty taste of vomit.
"Kind of." Adam stared at his reflection and then he threw himself some water. "I´m hungry now." Eli smiled with the joke.
"I have an apple if you want." said Eli as he got the red apple out of his bag. "Or maybe some Clorets for the breath."
Adam blushed instantly and grabbed the gum from Eli´s hand. Eli had thought about everything he could eventually need. He was even more prepared that Adam himself. The late alarm rang across the school making Adam jump. He felt his senses more alert than before.
"Ready for some class?"
"Never." Adam and Eli stepped out of the bathroom by side. Eli put his arm around Adam´s shoulder almost automatically and Adam put his arm around Eli waist. Nobody was in the corridor; well that was what they thought.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"So "Eli", you are going to fell a little bit cold but nothing to worry okay?" The doctor said to Adam as she put some jelly thing over his abdomen. The guy just nodded and turned to see the screen. Eli was standing next to him with a calm face. The doctor at first had made some questions to Adam and he had to tell her about his situation. The doctor asked him if he was taking any kind of pills for the transformation from girl to boy. Adam said no; his mother hadn´t let him get the pills, she wanted to wait until he was 18 or 21. The doctor smiled relieved and told him it was a good thing because that would decrease the chances of an abortion. Adam thanked his mother in his mind.
It had been a luck Eli had medical secure and he had taken Adam making him pass as Eli. Adam´s parents would never know. The doctor put something over Adam´s abdomen and something appeared on the screen. It didn´t looked like anything and Adam and Eli tried to focus on something. Anything. They could recognize anything.
"So it seems everything is okay Eli. Your baby is looking well for its first 8 weeks and his vital signs look in order." Adam smiled, maybe he couldn´t see anything but if the doctor said everything was fine it was enough for him.
"Can we have a picture?" asked suddenly Eli. Adam turned his head around and gave him a confused look.
"Of course." she tipped something on a keyboard and then she started cleaning Adam´s abdomen. The moment it was clean enough he put his shirt on again. "Just give a minute." after that she left the room leaving Eli and Adam alone.
"So what do you think?" asked Eli as he helped Adam get down of the bed.
"I don´t know." Adam put his hands over his belly. Eli looked at him and then he put his hand over Adam´s. "Why do you need a picture?"
"It´s for you." Adam took a step away nervously. Eli´s hand was warm as always.
Adam slipped and was about to fall when Eli grabbed him bit the shoulders. Adam blushed as he realized how close they were from each other.
"So here is the picture." suddenly appeared the doctor. Eli and Adam break apart. "I printed two so you could have one each other."
Eli and Adam took their pictures and thanked the doctor as they walked to the parking lot.
"So what do you want to do now? To my house, your house or Clare´s?" asked Eli as he turned on the car. Adam´s stomach growled nosily asking for some food.
"You are going to kill me."
"What? Are you feeling bad?" Eli looked at Adam concerned but the younger guy just started laughing.
"I think he have whim of some pizza." said finally Adam. Eli smiled as well.
"You meant SHE has whim of pizza." Adam pushed his friend and they they got they way to the pizza store.
