-4 weeks later-

Ashley woke up around her ussual 3 pm. and lay there for only a few minutes before jolting up and running to the toilet, throwing up everything in her system. She felt better afterwards and went back to bed to watch some tv and relax. After waking up the next 2 mornings the same way, she suspected something that was almost unthinkable. She went to her phone and texted:

"baby i have something to tell u" to Casey.

"what is it r u ok?"

"i think im pregnant. Idk yet but i have morning sickness"

"im driving over."

Ashley sat in bed and waited for him to get there, glad that she was alone in the house. He finally got there and didnt bother knocking, just burst right in and ran up the stairs into her room. Ashley jumped up and he pulled her against his chest in a hug.

"babe how sure are you?" he asked, still hugging her tightly.

"not too sure... But im late and i have morning sickness"

Casey pulled away and sunk onto her bed whispering a quiet "shit"

Ashley sat next to him. They thought for a few minutes.

"well we gotta get a test." Casey finally said, getting up and brushing passed Ashley to the door.

"are you mad at me?" Ashley asked on the car ride over. They had to take Casey's car, since Ashley's mom drove hers to work.

"no, im mad at me i shoulda used a daym condom. I figured that it jus' wasn't gon' happen- you gettin' pregnant i mean."

"it's my fault too i shoulda made you. And i dunno if im really pregnant yet, anyway."

They rode the rest of the way in silence-except for "Mercy" blaring on the radio.

They finally got there, after a 30 minute trip- they couldn't go to the local pharmacy, they would be recognized.

They got the test and got out as fast as they could, ignoring the looks people gave them.

Casey drove back to Ashley's house at a record speed and waited on Ashley's bed as she took the test in the bathroom down the hall.

"babe, time it for me it takes 3 minutes."

-3 minutes later-

The couple both held their breath as they looked. A plus sign.

"FUCK!" Casey screamed, flopping down to the floor and putting his face in his hands, leaning his back against the side of the tub.

"ohhh shit." Ashley muttered, sitting next to him.

Casey leaned his head back against the side of the tub and closed his eyes, resting one arm on his knee and putting his other instinctivly around Ashley.

"Ok, ok... We gotta get you to a doctor."
