It's been three weeks, and nothing has changed between Ian and me. I was getting really worried, but I have tried to talk to him, but I always got nervous and couldn't. It upset me, but I guess that's life. We were taking a break for the first time in weeks, and I didn't have anything to do. Everyone went down to the game room to play soccer, but Melanie and I just watched. Mel hadn't been doing much, but she was always trying to make things easier for me.
"Wanda, you're a captain," Jeb called as I came into the room. I had forgotten that Jeb wanted me to be captain the next time that there was a soccer game.
"I can't, Jeb," I stated as I took a seat in my usual spot.
"Yes you can so stop being lazy. You have been all week, and it's not like you."
"Jamie can be captain for me instead," I pleaded. I didn't want to do anything.
"No, you are going to be captain."
"I can't, Jeb."
"Give me one good reason that you can't." I didn't know what to do now. I couldn't lie because I was such a bad liar, but I couldn't tell the truth either.
"She hasn't felt well at all, and I don't think that she could play without getting sick," Melanie said relieving from having to speak. She took a seat right next to me.
"Well, you be captain in her stead, Melanie," Jeb stated.
"I haven't been feeling well either, Jeb," Melanie stated, and she looked like she was telling the truth.
"Fine, Kyle and Sunny be captain," Jeb stated, picking people randomly.
"But Jeb," Kyle stated, "You can't put Sunny as captain! She won't be able to last in the game."
"I'll be captain," Sunny said surprising everyone. I couldn't believe that she was going to be a captain. She never played. Why was she playing now? What would that do for her? Kyle was right. She was too fragile to play.
"Pick out the teams, guys, and Wanda," Jeb stated, "Next time you are going to be a captain.
"I can't make any promises, Jeb," I stated truthfully. I don't know when the next game would be, so I couldn't say. I wouldn't want to be a captain anyways. They named off the teams then, and I didn't really pay attention because I didn't need to.
"So how is everything," Melanie questioned me as she looked down. I knew that she was talking about the baby, and I was surprised to see that she was talking in public about it.
"Everything's fine," I stated as I resisted the urge to start petting my stomach like I always did when I was alone or with the people that actually knew about it. "Are you really sick?"
"No, I just needed a lie."
"Are you sure, Melanie?"
"Yes, I'm su--." She ran out of the room then. I got up and ran after her. I didn't want her to not get help. She's helped me so much though out everything, and I was glad that she was. We ended up in the wash room just like I thought. She was sick, and I wanted to help her through some of this. I helped her get her hair out of the way before she accidentally got some into her hair. It took her five full minutes to get the containts of her stomach out, and I was surprised at how much there was. After she was done, I put my arms around her, and I started to take her to our room. No one really complained that we took over Jared and Jamie's room, but Jamie would sometimes come and sleep in our room. He didn't like that his family was separated that much, and I could imagine why. I was coming in between all of them, but they wouldn't admit it to me.
Once we were in my room, I asked, "How long have you been sick?"
"Since the night that I found out that you were pregnant. It's off and on though, so I didn't worry about it." It kind of sounded like when I was having morning sickness before I even knew about it. Could she be pregnant also?
"I'll be right back," I stated before I started running. I quickly went to the kitchen to get a bucket, and then I ran to get a pregnancy test. Once I was done, I ran back to our room hoping that no one saw me. I didn't want them to think that I was weird or anything, and I especially didn't want them to think that I was being suspicious. That was the last thing that I wanted from anybody. "Start peeing," I said to Melanie before I handed her the things I brought for her.
"You want me to pee in a bucket to test out a pregnancy test?"
"Yes, now start peeing."
"I can't do that. I couldn't possibly be pregnant. The last time I had sex with Jared was..." She quickly got to it then. I turned around to give her some privacy. I wouldn't want someone watching me go to the bathroom. That would be embarrassing.
Once she was done, I turned back around to wait with her. It would take fifteen minutes to find out, and I couldn't wait to see what would be going on.
"What do you think it will say," she questioned me.
"I think that it will say that you're possitive."
"I hope so. I wanted to be able to have my own child too, but I can't believe that I'm having one so soon. It would be exciting for me."
"What do you think Jared will say?"
"I think that he's going to be surprised. And truthfully, I'm scared of his reaction. We've talked before, and we didn't want to have children, and now I might possibly be getting one. I don't know if he'll like the idea or not. What if he hates it, and he doesn't love me anymore because of it? That's what scares me the most."
"Well no matter what, I'm going to be there for you, just like your here for me."
"I know. It shouldn't be too hard taking care of another pregnant woman while you're pregnant yourself." We giggled a little bit, and then we waited. I couldn't wait to find out what the results were. I didn't know what was going to happen.
About ten more minutes later, we finally got the results. It was a pink sign that said pregnant. We screamed our heads off with happiness. She was pregnant, and I was also! I was so happy for her.
"I'm going to be a mother," Melanie yelled before she calmed down a little bit.
"I'll be right with you," I replied.
"So that means I get to be an uncle," Jamie questioned us.
