America's Point of view

Before getting sick~

I smiled at Maxon happy to know May is alive. Then all of a sudden a rush of nausea washed over me. I covered my mouth and grabbed my stomach, then ran for the closest bathroom. I didn't care to close the door. I leaned over the toilet and threw up. Where it came out of I have no idea. I heard Maxon come from behind me. He grabbed my hair and pulled it back as I continued to throw up. I emptied the rest of whatever was in my stomach and leaned back against the wall. I closed my eyes and focused on breathing for a second.

"Maxon?"

"I'm right here."

"Okay good. Can you help me up?"

"Of course."

I heard Maxon stand up. He grabbed my out stretched hand and pulled me up. I fell on him feeling weak.

"What was that America?"

"I truly don't know."

"Okay let's get you into bed so you can rest."

He picked me up and carried me to our room. He laid me gently down and covered me up. I snuggled down and fell into a light sleep. I could he Maxon leave the room. I woke myself back up knowing I needed to figure out what is wrong. I threw the covers off me and rung for my maids.

"What's wrong America?"

The worried look on Marlees face was almost funny. Mary didn't come. I wonder why?

"Oh sorry to freak you out, I just felt weird a few seconds ago."

"Oh, well why didn't you go to the doctors?"

"I didn't want to worry them anymore with May being in a Coma and Maxon and I being back so early."

"Point taken. Well what happened?"

"I just finished visiting May and I felt perfectly fine. Then all of a sudden I threw up. Now I feel fine again."

I shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't make anything out of that.

"Well, do you have any weird food cravings?"

"No."

"Okay, um... have you had you cycle yet?"

"No I think it's a little late."

Marlee gasped.

"What? Marlee what?"

"You could be.."

"What!?"

"Pregnant!"

Everything went still. I backed up and sat down on the bed. I put my head in my hands and thought it over.

"How would you know?"

"I've had a miscarriage. I know the basics."

"You never looked pregnant to me."

"I only carried it for 3 weeks."

"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that."

"Don't worry about it America. I have Lilley."

"Lilley's a sweet girl."

"She is. Now America we need to get back on topic. When did you two do it?"

"The night before I blacked out."

"So 2 nights ago. We could try a pregnancy test."

"Yeah lets do that."

"Okay I'll go get a box."


I sit on the toilet waiting for my results. If it's positive me and Maxon's lives will be changed. Negative and he doesn't even need to know about this. The timer beeped now I have to look at the stick in front of me. There's a little blue plus sign. I looked at the other two. Both are the same as the first one. I screamed. The bathroom door burst open and there is Marlee. She came over and looked at my results.

"Oh Ames."

She hugged me as I cried. How was I supposed to tell Maxon? What would be his reaction? Will he accept it or not? What am I thinking of course he'll accept it.

"America?"

"Yes?"

"We need to tell Maxon as soon as possible."

"I... I know."

I sniffled now done with crying."

"Come on I'll go with you if you want."

"Yes please."

"I think Maxon will be in his study lets go there first. Okay Ames?"

"Okay."

I grabbed the sticks if there's any need to show some proof. We walked down the hall to Maxon's study. I knocked twice and waited.

"Come in!"

Maxon yelled from inside the room. I quietly opened the door.

"Maxon?"

He turned around in his chair to see me.

"Did you even sleep?"

"Sort of."

"Okay, what do you need?"

"I need to tell you something."

"What?"

I walked into the room and Marlee followed. Maxon looked from me to Marlee and back to me. Marlee handed me the tests. Maxon looked very confused at the moment. I was afraid and Marlee is just happy. I swallowed.

"Maxon, I'm... I'm pregnant!"
