Seaweed went up the steps andinto his room. No one was there. "Link? Penny?" he called worriedly.
"We're in the bathroom!" Link replied. Seaweed headed in the bathroom. Link was holding back Penny's hair as she threw up into the toilet. He looked petrified and relieve at seeing Seaweed.
"What's wrong?" Seaweed asked as he wet a wash cloth and wiped Penny's sweaty forehead. Seaweed couldn't take his eyes off of Penny.
"I dunno. We was just talkin' and then she turned all green and ran in here. I went to check on her and she was throwing up." Link said. He was rubbing her back in circles, hoping this process would end soon. And Link's prayers were answered. Three minutes later, Penny sat up and wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her night gown.
"Thanks guys." Penny said. Her voice was scratchy and hoarse. She washed out her mouth quickly then went back to Seaweed's bed. "Freezing." She slipped under the covers. Seaweed and Link noticed that she was having chills.Her whole body was shaking because of them.
Seaweed leaned over to feel Penny's forehead. She was hot as hell. He got the thermometer and quickly took her temperature. 103."You feel a'right, baby?" he asked, sitting on the bed next to her, looking at her worriedly.
Penny shook her head but stopped quickly.Even her head hurt. "Everything hurts." she croaked. Seaweed got up and went to the medicine cabinet. The only thing he could do was give her an asprin and hope she was alright.
"Baby." Penny began but she was interupted by her coughing. Seaweed quickly filled a cup with water and made her take sips. "I gotta. . . tell you-"
"Shh. Tell me later. You need 'a sleep." Seaweed said, cutting off Penny as she started to cough again. He sat on the bed next to her, giving her the asprins.She took them quickly so that she wouldn't have to feel burning sensation in her throat. She began coughing again, body-wracking coughs that worried Seaweed. He stroked Penny's hair softly, murmuring words of care and comfort to her.
Suddenly Penny sat up, coughing. "I gotta cough tell cough, cough cough you cough something." Penny managed to get out. She felt light-headed, even dizzy. She swayed even though she was sitting.
Seaweed wrapped his arms around Penny to hold her steady. "You can tell me when you wake up."
Penny shook her head. "This is important. cough, cough, cough, cough, cough I'm cough pregnant." Penny's voice had lowered down to a whisper at the end and she had another fit of coughing.
Seaweed didn't think he heard right. Did Penny say she was pregnant? She couldn't be. Could she? Maybe he was hearing the wrong thing. Although it would explain why she was moody and why she'd been throwing up a storm. But. . . they only had sex once. Maybe she's just pulling my leg, he thought to himself. He looked at Penny, confused. "What did you say?"
Penny closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. This was it. If she repeated herself then it would be out. She was pregnant. She had no where to live. And if Seaweed broke up with her too. . . .Penny sighed. She couldn't handle it. Sure, she'd have Tracy and Link but she wanted to haveSeaweed. So mustering up all of her courage, Penny opened hereyes and looked straight into Seaweed's. "I'm cough, cough, cough pregnant."
