Finally my loves, chapter 10
...Duncan...
I checked my phone again Gwen promised that she'd call me back after I dropped her off but she wasn't picking up. I was a little worried about her. Eh, she was probably sick, must've been something in her food. But still, where was she?
...Gwen...
I rushed into the pharmacy, looking to see if anybody I knew was around. All clear. I made my way to the "feminine" isle and grabbed three tests, hey better safe than sorry. I went to the counter and paid for them and then made a mad dash for the bathroom.
I put my phone timer on and set it. Waiting for the results was like torture, even though the directions said it would only take three minutes it felt like hours waiting to hear the beeping on my phone. I felt my foot tapping impaitiently. At long last the electronic beeping of my phone went off. I reached for the test, it was positive.
My hands shook. No, no this couldn't be right! I immediately took the second one, it came up positive as well, I took the third one for one last try. Positive. Three out of three. I felt like hyperventalating. My hand slowly lowered to my stomach as if I could already feel the kicking of little feet.
At that moment two totally different images filled my mind, one after the other. One was Duncan, a shocked look on his face staring at me, and then leaving never to come back. I felt tears in my eyes. But then the second image filled my head, Duncan and I smiling, standing over a crib, lifting a small baby out. A great sense of love and hope washed over my body.
Maybe it would be okay, raising a baby. I knew abortion was never an option, and parents who gave up their child usually regretted it years later. So even if I was going alone, I was keeping it. I took a deep breath and took out my phone. Time to tell him. I prayed he would pick up and he eventually did.
"Hey babe, why didn't you call me back earlier?" I rolled my eyes.
"Never mind that! Duncan I really need to talk to you."
"Okay what is it?"
"No, I mean in person, in private, this is really important okay?"
"Alright I'm coming, where do you want me to meet you?"
"Outside the pharmacy across from the park."
"I'm on my way." I heard a click and hung up. I swallowed the big lump in my throat.
I honestly had no idea how to tell him.
...Duncan...
"I'm on my way." I said and I hung up. I was at the park in minutes and I saw a glimpse of black and blue across the street half hidden between two trees. Going past them I saw Gwen, pacing across the pavement behind a dumpster. My curiosity raged now. I picked up my pace cutting across the street Gwen stopping as soon as she saw me. She had a look of stress and anxiety on her face.
"Hey." I said kissing her on the cheek, "What did you need to talk to me about?" She bit her lip looking at her feet. It started to worry me. I tilted her head towards me, making her look at me again.
"Gwen you can tell me anything." I pulled my hand away from her face and braced myself for whatever it was she needed to tell me.
For a minute she didn't respond she seemed to be searching for her lost words she took a deep breath. She looked back in my eyes.
"Duncan, I-I'm pregnant." At those words my world froze. I stared in her eyes, she was serious. I was gonna be a father. I couldn't answer simply from shock for a moment. In my silence Gwen became emotional, tears started running down her face.
"D-Duncan I'm keeping the baby. I-It's okay if y-you don't want anything to do with it, I'll understand." I put a finger to her lips to get her to stop, she looked back in my eyes. I pulled her in close holding her to me. I rubbed her back in a calming motion. I turned hy head to whisper in her ear.
"Gwen I swear, I will be here for you, I want to help take care of it. I'm just a little...surprised is all."
"How do you think I felt." She said with thick sarcasam. I smiled. I pulled back to look at her only to press my lips to hers. Pulling back she finally flashed that smile I loved so much.
"Now comes the hard part, telling our parents." She said grimly.
"Don't worry we'll get though this." She nodded, and we started towards her house.
