Hi guys, new chapter! I hope you've had a wonderful start on the new year. And I hope you'll have a pleasent time reading this chapter. Happy reading!
Rated M because of future references! And because I'm paranoid and warning you. It will involve violence, sex, coarse language and such! So, don't say I never warned you...
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, or any of the plot/lines/quotes I might use in this story.
~ 2 MONTHS LATER ~
"Congratulations. You're pregnant."
Pregnant? Elena stared at the woman in front of her. Did she just say pregnant? As in have-a-baby-within-nine-months-pregnant?
"How is that possible?" Elena said, dumb struck.
"I suppose you had a sex education program at your school? Every school is required to teach about sex and it's risks."
"I know how a baby is made." Elena snapped, "but how?" she whispered, mostly to herself. She hadn't had sex in like forever. Oh, wait.. Shit! That night, at the bar, with Caroline. She had gone home with a guy that night.. That was two months ago.
"How far along am I?" Elena asked nervously. She was nervously playing with her hands in her lap, praying the nurse wouldn't say two months. Of course, she knew she was stupid to think anything else. That was the only time she'd had sex in.. well.. since her and Matt had broken up five months ago.
"Around two months."
Fuck!
Elena's thoughts instantly flew to her parents. How was she going to tell her parents? `Hi mom, hi dad. Caroline and I went out to a club two months ago, and I went home with a guy and had a one night stand with him and now I'm pregnant.ยด Yeah, not gonna happen!
And how on Earth would she tell Damon? She hadn't talked to him for more than five minutes since that night. The only time they had met was at the Grill, a week after their night together.
"If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. I'll send some brochures with you to read, they contain the most basic stuff you need right now. I suggest you buy a few baby books and learn more about your pregnancy." Everything was a blur in Elena's ears, most of it went in through one and out the other. "Do you know who the father is?"
That, on the other hand, snapped Elena out of her thoughts. "Yes. Yes, I do."
"Okay. My suggestion is to tell him as soon as possible." The woman smiled warmly towards Elena, "So, if there's nothing you're wondering about, we're done here."
Elena nodded and stood up. How could I be so stupid. Unprotected sex? Or did we use a condom? No, we didn't.. I don't remember there being a condom involved.. Shit, shit, shit! Elena's thoughts wouldn't stop spinning as she went for the exit. She knew she needed to tell Damon as soon as possible, but how? She couldn't really expect him to be there for her. It wasn't like it had been anything serious. One night stands are not serious!
But, wait a minute.. Does this mean she's going to keep the baby?
Of course I am, Elena thought. There's no way I could ever go through with abortion, or give the baby up for adoption.
When Elena sat in the car, she prepared herself of what to come. Firstly, she needed to tell her parents. And then, Damon. Her hands shook uncontrollably as she started the engine.
The fact that she had no idea how either of them would take this was terrifying and it scared her more than anything. She knew her parents would probably be disappointed with her for not using protection. And a one night stand.. She knew that wasn't acceptable in their book. And how would Damon react? Would he be mad? Would he tell her not to keep it?
Her mind was spinning as she pulled out of the parking lot.
She just prayed for a miracle as she drove towards her house.
Really short chapter, I apologize for that! But I felt like this was necessary for the story.
What did you think? Please, be kind & review! :-)
Spoiler for next chapter: Elena will tell her parents and Damon about her being pregnant. Someone will take it good, someone will not.. Which is which, do you think?
