I'm not too proud of this chapter, but I hope I did okay! Thanks for reading and reviewing! Enjoy chapter four!
"I'm pregnant."
Nathan dropped the mug he was holding and Elizabeth watched it shatter on the kitchen tile.
"Wh-what?" He stuttered.
"The condom you used broke."
"Are you serious?" Nathan squeaked out, "You can't be serious."
"I can show you the test if you don't believe me." Elizabeth said, rolling her eyes.
"It's mine? You're sure it's mine?" Nathan was freaking out, almost to the point of hyperventilation.
"You're the only guy I've ever slept with!" Elizabeth exclaimed, "Of course it's yours!"
"This can't be happening." Nathan sounded defeated.
"Well it is. I just thought you would want to know considering you won't be living here in a couple days."
"You couldn't have told me earlier?!" Nathan started to sound frustrated.
"Did you not hear me? I just found out last night!"
"Well, what do you expect me to do? I'm leaving on friday!"
"I don't expect you to do anything! I just thought you had a right to know that I'm carrying your child!"
"I can't believe this." Nathan whispered to no one in particular.
"Well, believe it." Elizabeth snapped, "I'm pregnant. It's yours. That's all there is to get."
Nathan put his face and his hands and let out a long sigh.
"I- I don't think I can do this." he said quietly.
"What the hell does that mean?" Elizabeth shouted.
"Exactly what you think it means," Nathan snapped, "I'm leaving soon, there's nothing I can really do anyways. I'm not ready to be a father."
"And you think I'm ready to be a mother?" Elizabeth's eyes began to mist over, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"That's not what I said! Neither of us are ready to be parents! This is just…. too much to handle."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Elizabeth said, sarcasm dripping from her lips, "you're obviously going through a hard time. I'll just back off."
"Would you stop?! I have a right to be upset about this."
"But you have no right to make this all about you." Elizabeth snapped, "You're not the only one who's scared."
"You know what?" Nathan stood up from his seat and made his way to the door, "I can't do this, Elizabeth. I'm sorry, but I can't be a part of this. If you need money, or whatever, call me. We'll work something out, but I can't handle this. I'm sorry.
"Nathan, wait-"
But it was too late.
The door slammed shut and he had already left.
He left.
Just… left.
Elizabeth suddenly became dizzy and grabbed onto the kitchen counter for balance. Did that just happen? She hadn't known what to expect, but it certainly wasn't that. The father of her child just walked away from her, left her to do this alone.
Without emotion, Elizabeth threw a towel over the shattered mug, telling herself that she would clean it up later. Once again, she wrapped her blanket around her shoulders and went back to the living room to lay down.
So much of her wanted scream and curse out Nathan, but she knew that would get her nowhere. So she just settled on sobbing into a pillow and wishing she could just go back in time and stop herself from being so stupid.
How did this even happen?
…..oh yeah.
"Reese, I really don't want to go tonight. I really don't like Sophia." Elizabeth tried to ration with her best friend.
"Pleeeeease?" Reese whined.
"You know, I would usually take your side on this, Lizzie, but you really need to get out and have some fun!" Terra, Elizabeths other best friend stated, her british accent falling over every word.
"I don't really have a choice do I?" Elizabeth said. Terra and Reese just shook their heads, "alright fine, I'll go. But only for an hour! Then I'm done!"
"Deal!" Terra and Reese said together.
"I don't know, Lizzie." Blaine said, "I don't think I want you going to this party. You know how I feel about Sophia."
Ever since the fourth grade when Sophia and Elizabeth met, Sophia had gone out of her way to make fun of Elizabeth for her family life. Sophia would tell Elizabeth that her and her sister didn't have moms and their daddies were weird. This angered the entire family, but none more than Elizabeth. Elizabeth was extremely protective of her family, and one day in the eighth grade she took a stand and hit Sophia square in the jaw. The two have been rivals ever since.
"I know, I get it. But there's gonna be a lot of people there, I probably won't even see her!" Elizabeth tried to convince them to let her go.
The two fathers gave each other a look.
"I hate Sophia and her family just as much as you guys," Elizabeth said, "The only reason I'm going is because Reese and Terra are begging me to go and I told them I would go just to shut them up!"
Kurt and Blaine smiled at this, "Of course those two are behind this."
"You know what?" Kurt said, "You've been working hard lately, you deserve a little fun. Just promise us you'll be home before midnight, okay?"
"Yes! I promise! Thank you thank you thank you!" Elizabeth hugged her fathers and grabbed her bad.
"And no alcohol!" Blaine added.
Elizabeth nodded and waved goodbye, heading out to the driveway where Terra and Reese were waiting to pick her up.
Elizabeth was three cranberry vodka's into the party before she met and equally as drunk Nathan Miller.
He used his famous pick up lines and his signature moves and before she knew it, Elizabeth was upstairs in one of the bedrooms with him.
Before Elizabeth had time to register what was happening, Nathan was pulling off his shirt and trying to unclip her bra, and Elizabeth allowed him to.
Elizabeth knew what she was doing was stupid, but she didn't care. She was too drunk to care.
Ten minutes later, Nathan was pulling his pants back on and Elizabeth was pulling her skirt back up to her hips.
The two teens looked awkwardly at one another.
"Um," Nathan said, "I'll see you at school, I guess."
Then he left.
That was it.
That was the moment when Elizabeth realized what she had done, "Oh no."
Elizabeth had never left anywhere that quickly. She grabbed her bag and left the Sophia's house, wanting to get out of there and just go home.
Luckily Terra was smart enough to be the one to not drink that night, so Elizabeth automatically went to her for a ride home.
"Can you drive me home? I need to get out of here."
Terra took notice of her red and teary eyes, "Oh, Lizzie, what happened? Are you okay?"
"I just want to go home."
That's what did it.
That was the night Elizabeth's life changed drastically.
Elizabeth placed her palm on her stomach, "You're giving me a run for my money, kid."
The clock read 3:30. Her fathers would be home at six and Aria would be home at seven after soccer practice.
Although she had enough time, she would have to hurry, she needed help. She quickly ran upstairs and put on some jeans and a t shirt.
Elizabeth grabbed her keys and quickly drove to the library ten minutes down the road. She quickly found the parental section, searching for any books that would help her cope with the pregnancy. She came across four books, two of them being about teen pregnancy, one on what to expect, and the other being about adoption. Elizabeth hadn't decided on what to do just yet, but she knew that the option of adoption was still on the table, so she hoped this book would answer some of her questions.
Elizabeth rushed home as quickly as she could after checking out the books. She made it home before the rest of her family got home and began reading the books.
Elizabeth got about half way done with "Facing Reality: A Teen Mother's Guide", until she became ridiculously overwhelmed and had to set the book down. She took about five minutes to calm herself down before picking up "Dealing with Adoption"
Bad choice.
This book answered none of her questions, it just broke her heart even more than before.
The book was filled with letters that mothers had written to their children that they had put up for adoption, and letters to mothers from their children who had been adopted.
Elizabeth broke.
She laid on the living room carpet and sobbed for the hundredth time within the last twenty hours.
"Going home a bit early today, Kurt?" Kurt's assistant Katy asked.
Kurt smiled, "Yeah, Elizabeth is sick. I don't want her to be alone for too much longer."
"Aw, poor Lizzie. Tell her I hope she gets better, okay?" Katy called after Kurt who was already making his way to the elevator.
"You got it!" Kurt called back to her.
Kurt waved to a few of his coworkers as he left the building, and finally made it to his car.
He made it home within twenty minutes, and was anxiously awaiting curling up on the couch and watching some tv with Elizabeth.
The last thing Kurt expected to happen when he got home, was to hear the heartbreaking sobs of his daughter coming from the living room.
