Author's notes: Reviews as always are wonderful. This chapter, we find out if Katie's suspicions are correct. It's a lot shorter than I would have hoped, because I just couldn't draw it out like I normally can.
Ch10
It was now New Years Eve around 10:30 at night. Katie had yet to work up the nerve to take the test, though Summer and Zack had bought it for her a few days ago. The last few hours had been spent watching movies, but she hadn't paid much attention, which Summer noticed. Katie, was sitting in a chair near Summer, and Summer whispered to her. "Will you just take the damn test already?"
Katie half glared. "I'd like to see how you feel in this situation."
"If you take it, you won't be worrying like this."
"Yeah, I'll be worrying worse. Because it'll just tell me what I already know."
"You go take that test right now, Kathryn Lydia Willows, or I will tell Freddy before you have a chance to."
"I hate it when you do this."
"Go."
Katie stood her only explanation as she left not very explanatory. "I'll be back in a minute."
Freddy looked over at Summer as he paused the movie. "What was that about?"
"I don't know." Summer shrugged. "I guess she wants to take care of something."
Zack shot her look. "She couldn't just tell us that?"
"You know Katie." Summer remarked. "Put the movie back on. She won't mind."
Freddy complied and Zack edged his way over to Summer. "Is she going to take the test?"
"What else would she be taking care of? I had to get her to take it. I just told her if she didn't take it now, I was gonna tell Freddy."
"So you played dirty."
"If your hands don't get dirty then why play the game?"
Zack grabbed his soda. "Well, here's to hopes that she's not."

The test had been positive. Katie had told Freddy, right as the New Year came in. He nearly fainted. It had been discussed, and they had decided they would tell their parents the next time the visited home. They also discussed never going home. Freddy talked to Katie about getting married, but she had declined, wanting him to have a life other than the baby. He tried to talk her into it, saying that his life would be the baby now. Needless to say, her mind couldn't be changed.
It was two days later, and they were at a free clinic to check the health of the baby. The clinic had drawn blood as a final confirming point, and the future parents were waiting in the waiting room. Freddy had been holding Katie's hand the entire time, just because he felt the need. "How are you feeling?"
She sighed. "Well, the whole nervousness thing isn't exactly there. I already know I'm pregnant."
"I know. What's the point of this test anyway?"
"Something to do with their formal records."
"Oh. I guess that makes sense. I'm glad Summer and Zack are supportive."
"Yeah. I didn't think Summer would be, the way she got upset about the party incident."
"That was because that could kill people. This was something that happened, we did what we could to prevent it, but we couldn't, so now we're in charge of bringing a new life into the world. And I'm guessing she has faith that we can do it. I wish I had the same faith."
"So do I."
"Ms. Willows, Mr. Jones?" The door to the waiting room opened, the doctor attending to them appearing. "Your tests results are back. Come on back to the exam room please." Katie and Freddy complied, following the doctor to the back room. "Have a seat." Again, they did as told. "Well, I think this news will make you breath a lot easier. You're not pregnant."
"I'm not?" Katie looked very surprised. "I thought for sure..."
"Well, you have to remember, the home pregnancy tests are not one hundred percent accurate. I'm pretty sure that the reason you're late is because you've been stressed recently with college work and whatever extra- curriculars you may have. Just try and relax a bit and you'll be fine."
Freddy appeared to be in shock. "Wow."
"You're free to go at anytime."
§ § §
"I still can't believe you're not pregnant." Summer remarked as the two girls both got ready for a double date to the movies. It was the same day as the clinic visit, and a decision to have a celebration had been made.
"I know. But it's such a relief. Now I don't have to worry about my parents disowning me or anything." Katie began pulling her hair up. "Freddy hasn't said anything, but you can just tell he's happy. He wasn't ready to have a kid. Neither am I, but we don't have to worry about that now, do we?"
"Well, at least you learned something from this."
"Yeah. We already talked about it. We're not going to have sex again for a long time. And when we do, it's going to be when I'm on the pill."
"Good idea. It got Zack and me talking too. We decided, we're going to wait until we're older, and most likely married. That way, if something does surprise us, we'll be a bit more prepared."
"Too bad me and Freddy hadn't thought about that before we did it in the first place."
"It always takes a mistake to learn a lesson. This one just happened
to be a very scary mistake."
"You're telling me."
That was the very, very short chapter 10. I am so sorry that it is so short, but I had a hard time writing it. The next chapter will be longer. I promise.
