April was so nauseated she couldn't even hold down the soup. She had been throwing up intermittently all day.
"I'm really worried about her Mark"
"It's probably nerves. She's been through a lot in the past few weeks and then with yesterday and all..."
Roger nodded. Yesterday was an 'everything that can go wrong did,' day for April.
"If this doesn't stop by tomorrow I'm taking her to get checked out. She could be really sick"
Mark nodded in agreement. He too was worried about April.
"It's probably just nerves," Mark repeated with more confidence then he felt.
"Roger," her normally melodic voice crocked, "could you bring in some crackers sweetheart"
Roger ran in with the crackers.
"Here baby," he said sitting her up and helping her eat them.
Just then Collins came into the loft and called through the door
"Roger, got a minute?"
"Sure what's up?"
"How about you come out here or let me in so I don't have to yell through the door"
Roger smiled and opened the door.
"You might not want to come in though. April's sick"
"No she's not. She's pregnant"
"PREGNANT," Mark, Roger and April exclaimed at the same time.
"You mean I'm going to be a father," Roger asked
"No it means you're going to be a cow," Collins answered sarcastically, "yes her blood test came back that she's pregnant"
April had gotten some blood work done about a week ago.
Mark had insisted she go because she was feeling tired and he was afraid she might be anemic.
"Apparently she's not anemic," Mark muttered to himself.
"How pregnant am I," April asked
"Two weeks or so," Collins replied.
"Great," Mark said, "then she can get an abortion and-"
Roger pushed his friend out of the room
"What!"
"An abortion? This is a baby not a burden. What is your problem anyway Mark"
"I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. I'M REALISTIC. ROGER YOU TWO CAN'T HAVE A BABY NOW"
"Why would I want to have an abortion," April said quietly coming out of the room, "this is my baby. He or she is a part of who I am"
"April you don't know what your talking about," Mark said. As soon as he said that Roger's hand cracked across Mark's face.
"Don't you dare talk to her light that," he scolded, "honestly Mark I don't know what the hell your problem is but you do NOT treat April like she's a-"
"Like she's what. She's a child herself Roger."
"Mark I swear I'm going to break your camera you say one more thing like that to April again"
"I'm sorry Roger but I happen to be realistic. What kind of life would that baby have"
Again Roger glared at Mark.
"Look if you don't want an abortion let's consider adoption"
"Adoption huh? I don't think so"
"He or she would be a bastard because his or her parents wouldn't be married"
That earned Mark another slap across the face.
"First of all don't you EVER call MY CHILD a bastard again-"
"Calm down Roger it's not a child yet. It's a clump of cells"
"The hell it is," Roger shouted, "It's a baby"
"I agree with Roger," April said
"You have no say in this," Mark shouted at April
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS HER BABY TOO"
"Roger this is an adult decision and since I'm the only one in this loft CAPABLE of acting like an adult I'll make it"
"THE HELL YOU WILL," April and Roger said in unison.
"Roger and I will get married," April said decisively, "and raise the baby together"
"Where are you going to raise him or her? Fairy Tale World? Because you have No idea how hard marriage is"
"Oh," Roger challenged, "and you do?"
"My sister got married young. It was hell for them. Yeah the love each other but there are a lot of struggles. Plus you are responsible for her"
"It can be hard I'll admit but we can make it work"
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED"
"Yes we are," April and Roger said in unison
"You're-"
"We'll work it out."
"I'll sign for you two to get married," Collins offered.
Mark rolled his eyes walked into the room and slammed the door
"Don't worry," Collins said, "I got your back you two"
"Thanks man," Roger said and hugged his friend.
"Rog," April said, "you're not mad about our being parents are you?"
"Mad? No honey of course I'm not mad"
"How do you feel about this"
"I think the song I wrote will tell you how I feel"
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you
For I cant help falling in love with you
