Ana's POV

I wake with a jolt having had a nightmare about telling my dad that I'm pregnant. He kicked me out of home and told me if I'm old enough to make a baby then I'm old enough to get a job and support it. This has me shaking really badly. I can't believe I was stupid enough to let this happen and with a guy that I'm not even in a real relationship with. I feel like I need a miracle right now in hoping like hell those tests were wrong but the more I think about it the more I'm sure that I'm pregnant. I'm two weeks overdue to have my period plus having been sick this week it can only mean one thing I'm sure of it. I roll over in bed and see my alarm clock says 5am. I still have time before I need to be up for school but right now I can't fall back to sleep so instead I decide to do some last minute study for today's exam instead.

At 7:30 I make my way out the door and to school for the day. I've been very quiet with my dad because I honestly just don't even know what to say to him right now. I'm so scarred that after I get confirmation today that he's going to be kicking me out. We've never really discussed anything like this but I'm pretty sure he's the type of guy who won't put up with as pregnant sixteen year old living under his roof. I think about this a lot as I'm driving to school and wonder whether or not I would have the courage to get rid of it. It would make things simpler but could I deal with it in the long run? I'm honestly not sure but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

As I arrive at school I get out of my car and make my way inside. I notice Christian but decide that with everything going on now isn't the best time to be talking to him. At least not until I go to the doctor this afternoon. I also notice Dale and idly wonder if perhaps I should tell him about what's going on but I'm distracted by the sound of the bell ringing letting me know it's time to make my way into the room for the exam. I sit down in my seat and listen as the teacher goes over the rules like they have for all the exams this week. Then it's time to flip the book over and start.

The exam is over and luckily today is only a half day so I can finish now and go to the doctor although I'm getting very anxious and would quite happily put this off. I make my way over to where the girls are standing around and decide to fill in some time before I leave.

"Hey are you still going to see your OBGYN shortly?" Britt asks me.

"Yes my appointment is at 1:30pm so I'm headed there shortly." I say.

"Have you told your dad or even Dale yet?" Chelsea asks.

"No I'm way too scared to say anything to either of them. I mean I'm certain my dad is going to kick me out and Dale and I aren't even in a relationship so I'm sure this isn't what he wants." I say.

"If you are pregnant then you're going to have to tell him unless of course you're thinking about getting rid of it?" Kate says.

"I know I will have to tell him if I keep it but I honestly don't know what to do. I mean getting rid of it seems like the easiest thing to do but I don't know if I have enough willpower to go through with it. I don't think I can." I say.

"Look we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I hope you're okay with us coming to be there for you I mean you shouldn't be going by yourself Ana." Chelsea says.

"I really appreciate that thank you." I smile at them.

We make our way to our cars then head off in the direction towards my OBGYN's office. We decided we had time to stop in for a quick bite to eat so we do. Then we make our way to the office where the girls take a seat as I check in. I'm so nervous that my hands are shaking as I'm filling in all of my details for them. I go back and sit down next to the girls as I wait to be called into the doctor's office. Fifteen minutes later I'm being called and the girls ask if I want them to come in but I tell them no it's okay I want to go in by myself so I follow the doctor back into her office.

"Take a seat Ana. So what can I do for you today?" my doctor asks me. I take a deep breath.

"I think there's a large possibility that I'm pregnant." I say shaking in my chair.

"Okay so tell me what makes you say that? Have you taken a pregnancy test?" Dr. Greene asks.

"Yes I took three pregnancy tests yesterday and two of them come back positive." I say.

"Okay tell me when your last period was?" she asks.

"Um about six weeks ago roughly." I say.

"Okay and obviously you're sexually active. What form of birth control do you use?" she asks.

"Just condoms." I say.

"Okay and have you had any other symptoms besides not having your period?" she asks.

"I have been feeling sick in the mornings all week." I answer.

"Okay I want you to take this cup and go into the bathroom just there for me then bring it back so I can test It." she says as she hands me the pee cup.

I take it from her and head into the bathroom doing what I have to do. I return and hand it back to her and she takes it out of the office to test it. I'm sitting there shaking like a leaf and sweating badly. This is it I'm about to find out if I'm having a baby or not and I couldn't be more scarred if I tried. She returns about ten minutes later with what looks to be the results.

"Okay so I've done the test and I'm sure you will be pleased to know that you're not pregnant." She tells me and I'm frozen to the spot. She just said not pregnant. I'm not pregnant. Thank god.

"I'm not?" she shakes her head no. "Then why did the tests come back positive and why have I not had a period? It always annoyingly on time every month." I say.

"A number of things can cause it really. False positives are nothing out of the ordinary they happen all the time that's why they always tell you to consult with your doctor. But stress is a large factor in why you've been late. I imagine you've been doing mid-terms correct?" I nod my head. "Stressing over them is most likely what's caused a delay in getting your period. Now would you like to perhaps discuss going on birth control to avoid having to solely rely on condoms?" she asks me.

"Yeah I was thinking that maybe I should be going on birth control pills to eliminate the possibility of this happening again anytime soon." I say.

After another twenty minutes I'm making my way out of Dr. Greene's office with a prescription for birth control pills that I need to pick up at the drug store on my way home. I make my way to the girls who are looking at me expectantly waiting for me to tell them what the doctor has said.

"I'm not pregnant" I tell them with a huge smile on my face.

"Oh my god. Thank god!" Kate says.

"You're telling me I was shitting bricks in there waiting for her to come back with the results." I say.

"So why have you been sick and haven't had your period?" Britt asks.

"The doctor said stressing about mid-terms most likely delayed it. And apparently false positive tests happen all the time but to keep me safe and hopefully prevent these fun trips here in the future she's given me a prescription for birth control pills." I say.

"That's good. Well that's a huge relief." Chelsea says.

"Don't I know it?" I say.

I make my way out to my car then head off home via the drug store. When I get home my phone is ringing and it's Dale. I decide now is probably the best time for me to call things off with him but he beats me to it when he tells me that he's started seeing someone and they want to be exclusive so he can't come over anymore. I tell him it's okay that I'm happy for him and am secretly overjoyed that now I don't have to break things off with him. I'm truly happy for him that he's found someone he really likes and wants to be with and it gets me really thinking about everything that's happened over the last 24 hours and if there's one thing I've learnt from this pregnancy scare it's that I don't want anything casual anymore that the next time if I find myself in such a predicament I want to at least be in a relationship with someone who I'm in love with and who loves me and there's a possible chance of making it work. But in all honestly I want to be married before I even think about ever having kids with anyone.

With that I pull out my phone to send a message.

Hey what are you doing? Want to hang out tomorrow as friends and get to know each other?

AUTHORS NOTE: Ok so i think its pretty obvious who Ana has sent a message to so you can see where the next chapter is going. I also never intended for Ana to be pregnant with Dale's baby i just wanted her to have a scare to make her think about what she really wants. Anyways i should have the next chapter up by the end of the week. Have a good day!
