Chapter6

"I've been sick every morning this week. But after I get sick, I'm perfectly fine. I haven't eaten anything weird." Sam said to the health nurse.

"Not at all?" She asked, keeping her thoughts to herself.

"Nope."

The nurse looked confused. "You haven't had any weird cravings?"

"I eat all the time. Weird cravings are my thing." Sam said, laughing.

"Did you get your period this month?"

Sam shrugged. "I skipped this month. A housewarming gift from mother nature."

Ms. Hansel looked concerned. Would it be okay to tell Sam now? Before she found out herself? "Sam, what if your... pregnant?" The words scared Sam worse than anything. Did she really just say that?

Sam looked at Ms. Hansel with wide eyes. "I'm not pregnant. I can't be."

Ms. Hansel looked at Sam warily. What could she say to calm Sam's nerves? "I-I'm not exactly sure. I-you should take a test. Just in case."

Sam swallowed hard. Pregnant? Why would Sam Puckett be pregnant? That wasn't possible. She wasn't stupid enough to do that to herself. But still... could it be possible?

"Please, Sam."

Tears filled Sam's eyes and she was scared to death. But before she could say anything- "I'm gonna get sick." She got to her feet and ran for the bathroom.

Five seconds later the nurse walked in quietly. She sat down beside Sam and pulled her hair back for her, stroking her bare neck with a wet towel.

Sam sighed and wiped her mouth. "You don't have to be here... and see this."

"I'm a nurse, sweetie. I'm here to take care of you."

Sam leaned back. "Can I call my mom and have her pick me up?" As she said that she realized she couldn't possibly have her mother pick her up. Her mother would kill her. But... who could she call?

"Sam, take the test before you leave. It'll make you feel better." Ms. Hansel said, giving a half smile. She didn't know what to tell Sam.

Sam nodded. How would taking a test make her feel better? One, she hated tests. Two, she didn't want the outcome to scare her to death.

"I'll be right back." Ms. Hansel said, patting Sam's knee.

Sam leaned back into the cabinets and tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never felt this terrible before. Maybe when she- nope, never. How would Sam raise a baby? She wasn't mother material. Her mother was awful, what if she was awful too? Freddie needed to know whether Sam wanted to tell him or not. He was the father. She was forced to tell him.

What was she going to say to him? His mother was a control freak. Would she let them keep the baby? What if Freddie got mad at Sam and left? She didn't know what she would do. Even with all the people she knew, Sam was alone.

Ms. Hansel pushed the door open. "Sam? You okay?"

Sam sniffed and looked up at the nurse. She shrugged, without saying a word, and got to her shaky feet. "Let's get this over with."

Spencer and Carly Shay walked into the nurse's office together, Spencer wearing a hideous woman's outfit.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up my daughter." He said in a high voice.

The nurse nodded. "You must be Mrs. Puckett."

"Oh, Ms. Puckett. I'm not married."

She smiled a little and turned to Sam. "Are you feeling alright?"

Sam swallowed hard. "I'll be fine."

"Come to me whenever you need me."

Sam nodded and followed Spencer and Carly out of the office.

"Is what you said really true?" Carly asked softly.

Sam nodded and sighed. "Yeah. I got knocked up."

"Sam, don't say it like that-"

"It doesn't matter how I say it, Carls" She said softly. "I'm still pregnant. It won't make things any better."

"Think about it, Sam. Now you get your very own Rose." Carly said, rubbing Sam's arm softly.

"I don't want my own Rose. Your Rose is enough." She said, shrugging Carly off.

Carly hugged Sam softly. "It'll be okay."

Sam shook her head. Deep down, she wanted to believe her friend. But she knew that there was nothing to do now. Nothing would be okay.

Thought I'd show you what I think Rose would look like. I figured you'd enjoy that.
