Chapter 24- Tiredness and Tears
"How long since you've had a cigarette now Shane?"
Shane jumped at the sound of his own name. He looked around the circle in which he sat. His eyes widened. "Umm…two weeks…yeah two weeks." He nodded and rocked back and forth on his chair slightly. The rehabilitation group clapped. He fought back the urge to roll his eyes.
"Well done Shane!" The 'mentor' person grinned. "That's excellent."
Shane nodded. "Yeah." Shane said fighting the urge to yawn. Man do I hate this hell hole.
"So Shane…anything interesting been going on your life?" The counsellor asked.
He rolled his eyes this time. Why pick on him all the time? "Umm…yes?"
"Oh…what's that then Shane?"
"Look…I don't like all these personal questions…"
"Shane," the counsellor sighed. "These personal questions will be able to determine whether or not you'll relapse." Shane raised an eyebrow. "If you're happy with your life, odds are you won't need a cigarette." He nodded.
"My personal life is great thanks. Amazing even." He got a lazy smile on his face as he thought about Mitchie.
"Good. So, have you wanted a cigarette?" Shane frowned. Surprisingly he hadn't wanted a cigarette.
"Nah."
"Well ok Shane. I think it would be all right if you left for today." A grin escaped onto Shane's lips. "We'll see you same time, next week." He eagerly nodded before rushing from the room and out of the door.
…
"Mitch?" Shane called as he walked through the front door. He frowned not hearing any sounds or seeing Mitchie or anyone else for that matter. "Mitch?" he called walking into the living area.
"One minute!" Mitchie called from the bathroom. Shane smiled to himself as he collapsed onto the couch. A moment later Mitchie ran into the room looking completely flustered.
"Have you been having a quickie with some guy in there?" Shane asked playfully. Mitchie however, could tell he was being serious with it.
She sighed before walking in front of him and straddling his lips. He raised an eyebrow. "You're the only guy for me." She said kissing him gently. "I was only…cleaning the bathroom." She smiled as she bit her lip. He frowned realizing she was lying.
"What's going on?" She frowned at his question. "You're lying." He stated pushing her off him and storming to the bathroom. Mitchie jumped up and ran after him. She watched as Shane swung the door open. "Who the fuck is in here?!" He shouted pulling back the shower curtain to reveal nothing. His mouth formed a small 'o' as he turned around to see Mitchie standing at the door with her hands on her hips. "Sorry?"
She glared at him as he walked towards her.
"You were biting your lip so…I thought you were lying. I'm sorry for thinking you'd lie and for jumping to seriously idiotic conclusions." Mitchie smiled slightly as he wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.
"You're just lucky I love you." She stated. Her own arms encircling his neck.
"Good thing I love you back then." He said before crashing his lips onto hers. "So…what were you doing in there?" He asked nodding his head in the direction behind them.
"I told you…I was cleaning." She grinned.
"Mitch…you never clean the bathroom. In fact…you refuse to clean the bathroom."
"Only after one of you guys has been in there."
…
Caitlyn and Alexa shared a nervous glance as they stepped into Shane and Mitchie's bedroom. Mitchie smiled at them from her place on the bed as they entered.
"What's up?" Mitchie asked noticing their nervous faces.
Alexa sighed. "We know you don't want to take a pregnancy test." Mitchie paled. "But…we really think you should…it's been two weeks since Cait bought you them so…"
"Guys…" Mitchie mumbled. Caitlyn raised an eyebrow. Urging her to go on. "I've already taken a test."
"Oh…well what did it say?" Caitlyn asked all nervousness gone.
"I only took it because well…I came on my period." Alexa frowned. "But…I was on for like, two days and that was it." Mitchie stated.
"So you took the test because?"
"Just incase. Some women continue having their periods when they're pregnant."
"Oh…ok. But, what did it say?" Alexa asked eagerly.
"I don't know." Mitchie shrugged.
"Umm why?"
"Shane came home as I was peeing on the stick."
Mitchie looked at the bag. The bag that was full of pregnancy tests. All of which she should have taken a few weeks ago…only, Mitchie being well, Mitchie was too afraid. What if she was pregnant? What would happen between her and Shane then? Surely, he wouldn't want a kid? He was only 20. And what about her? She was only 18! And she had only just turned that.
Grr stop thinking so much Mitchie.
Mitchie gingerly reached into the plastic bag and pulled out a box of three pregnancy tests. She bit her lip as she opened the box and held up a test loosely in her hand. Sighing she turned the box over and read the instructions.
How hard is it to pee on a stick? Mitchie thought as she read over them.
Taking a deep breath she fiddled with the test a moment before lifting the toilet seat lid.
…
"Mitch?" Mitchie froze hearing Shane's voice. He shouldn't be back for at least half an hour. "Mitch?" She could hear the confusion in his voice and heard him moving around in the next room.
"One minute!" She shouted to him. Panicking she glanced at the pregnancy test in her hand. She hadn't even looked at it yet seeing as it hadn't been the full three minutes. Quickly she placed the test behind the flower pot that was hidden by a curtain.
"Have you been having a quickie with some guy in there?" Mitchie laughed awkwardly. She knew her face was flushing red. Oh well. She thought…
…
"So…is the test still in there?" Caitlyn asked slightly warily.
"Yeh…should be." Mitchie frowned the thought of one of the guys finding it flashing across her mind.
"Should we not go get it then?" Alexa asked, her voice held the edge of obviousness.
Mitchie sighed and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. "Yeah." She whispered.
"Hey, everything's going to be fine." Caitlyn soothed wrapping an arm around her friend's shoulders. Mitchie smiled gratefully at Caitlyn before standing up and stretching.
"Let's go!" She laughed. Alexa grinned as she pulled the bedroom door open and the girls all walked out.
Mitchie, Alexa and Caitlyn all stopped as they saw the boys standing in front of the sofa; all staring directly at them.
"Umm, what's going on?" Caitlyn laughed seeing their 'serious' faces.
Nate cleared his throat as he lifted the pregnancy test in the air. Mitchie gulped and paled. All three girls shared a nervous glance before turning back to the boys.
"Where did you find that?" Alexa asked laughing nervously.
"Behind the flower pot in the bathroom. Crap hiding place, you should know Jason waters that plant twice a day." Shane said; his voice, Mitchie noted held something new…was that hope?
Mitchie inwardly groaned at herself. How could she forget that? Jason always waters every single plant in the apartment.
"So…whose is it?" Nate asked looking more at Caitlyn than everyone else.
"Whoa hold on a sec." Alexa butted in. "You and Nate have had sex?!"
"Not the time." Caitlyn mumbled shyly.
"Oh it so is!"
"Yes we've had sex now, let's move on shall we?"
"Whose is it?" Nate asked again more demanding this time.
"Not mine." Caitlyn said quickly. Mitchie and Alexa glared at her. She mimed 'sorry' at them.
"Lex?" Jason gulped. "Is it yours?"
Alexa turned to Mitchie who had tears in her eyes. She smiled weakly through the tears as she turned back to the guys.
"It's mine." Mitchie spoke quietly. So quietly in fact it was hard to hear. Shane's eyes widened and he turned around, gripping the back of the sofa with great force. "Guys? Can you give us a minute?" Everyone nodded and entered the bedrooms as Mitchie walked towards Shane and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. "I was scared." She whispered. He turned around and pulled her into his arms tightly.
"Why? Am I that horrible?" He mumbled into her neck.
"No of course not. I just…didn't know whether we were ready and stuff and what you'd think. I was afraid you'd leave."
"Then you don't know me as well as I thought." He stated pulling away and moving to sit on the sofa. She bit her lip determining whether or not he wanted her to sit with him. Her questions were answered when he opened his arms for her. She hastily walked over and snuggled close to him.
"So…you want a kid?" Mitchie asked bewildered.
"Sure when the time is right." He stated absentmindly playing with her hair.
"Which isn't now?" She mumbled.
"Nah, it could be. We just have to be ready and I think we are." She smiled at him before kissing him gently. "So…it was positive?" He asked.
"I don't know. You didn't look?"
"Nope. We weren't sure whose it was so we didn't want to impose or whatever."
"Oh." She whispered.
"Shall we look?" He asked kissing her head.
"Umm sure…ok." She hesitated. He stood up and reached for her hand which she nervously took. He walked her towards the side table in which Nate had placed the test on as he left the room.
"How do we know?" Shane asked turning to her.
"A red line means positive. A blue line means negative." She stated her hand reaching forward slowly and shaking. She moved it back sighing and turned to him with tears brimming in her eyes. "I can't look. You do it." She ordered lightly. He nodded and gulped as his hand reached forwards too.
Shane's hand gently grasped the test and turned it over…
…
"Why didn't you tell us?" Jason asked pouting slightly.
"It wasn't our place to." Alexa stated pacing back and forth in hers and Jason's bedroom. Nate glanced up from lying on the floor before sitting up straight and leaning on the bed.
"I think it would be amazing to have a kid running around." He said; his voice slightly dreamy. Caitlyn grinned down at him from her seat on the bed.
"It would. We could teach her to sing!" Caitlyn laughed.
"Noo, we would teach him to be completely awesome on guitar and drums." Jason nodded.
"I wonder if it is a girl or boy." Alexa stopped pacing to ponder. "I reckon Mitchie would want a boy because she'd know that's what Shane would want."
"Nah Mitch would want a girl hands down." Caitlyn said lying down on her stomach.
"Well there's no question as to what Shane would want. He'd want a boy. Easy as." Nate stated standing up and perching on the edge of the bed.
"Too right." Jason agreed.
"What…what if she's not pregnant though?" Caitlyn asked. "We're all saying what we'd like and what they'd like when we don't know for sure if she's pregnant or not."
"I kinda hope she is…" Alexa said.
"Why?" Jason raised an eyebrow.
"Think about it. They love each other right? Only they always have these stupid arguments and you don't know whether they love each other one day or hate each other the next. Maybe a baby would bring them back together. Maybe they'd realise just how much the other means to them…"
Caitlyn smiled to herself. "Yeah…I hope she is pregnant."
…
Shane turned the test over however; Mitchie's voice stopped him from looking at the marking. He placed the test back down.
"I want a boy. For you." She stated looking up at him with a watery smile.
"I want a baby girl."
"Really?" Mitchie asked surprised at his statement.
"Yeah…I want an exact replica of her gorgeous mom." He grinned. Mitchie blushed before her eyes fell upon the pregnancy test once more. She nodded. He gulped once more as his hands grasped the test and turned it over. He closed his eyes as his other hands fingers gently crossed over each other. Please be positive. He prayed.
Shane opened his eyes.
"It's negative."
Oooh…It's negative ;)
Bet none of you saw that coming…or did you? :P
I just wanted to show how much Shane actually wanted the baby.
Sorry for the long wait. I sooo wanted to update but, couldn't. Hopefully will get an update on Monday if I get my essays done or…you may have you wait until next weekend : (
