After I left Scourge in the hall, it was hard not to cry again at how he didnt even stop me. He just stood near the window as if I never said anything, like we never had a conversation about the baby. Once I had gotten to my room, thats when I decided to let the tears fall free, falling on my small, twin bed and cried softly into the white pillow. Being all alone in that cold, dark room made me feel like my first day here, all alone and scared.
Sniffling with my eyes glued to the cracked ceiling as many thoughts raced around at my green mates speed, maybe beyond.
'I dont even know what else to tell him. Even Shadow let Luna have the kids, heck, maybe he even helped her out in her time of need. And if what I told Scourge doesnt change his mind, I guess im on my own.' I thought with another sniffle and brought forth more tears to stream rivers down my muzzle.
The crying was able to tire me out and put me to sleep at some point, only to wake me up a few hours into the early morning to vomit. Rushing as a white and blue blur to the nearest bathroom, hurling out my dinner from last night into the toilet bowl, feeling my throat burning and pain in coughing. Crazy thing is about this is that after all this vomiting out last nights dinner, I grab a sandwich from the fridge like it never happened. Had to be the cravings from the baby or something.
Having not clue about pregnancy, since I was the last born in my small family, it was hard to imagine how the next nine months would go.
'Guess theres only one person I can really talk to about this.' I thought while munching on the chicken, BLT sandwich. Pulling out my iphone from a pocket on my black shorts, dialing a number with one, free hand, I waited for a response.
"Hey Arc." the voice that belonged to my sister responded. "How'd snot take the comeback?" She asked with a giggle, making me smirk at his old nickname but shook my head in the next.
"He didnt say anything, he just let me walk away. What if I end up having to raise this thing alone?" I asked as I choked up, feeling another round of tears for the second day in a row.
"Well, it could be worse, hon. I mean, at least you arent pregnant in high school, thats scary since the guy usually leaves you anyways. You've done good with your life Arc, even if your a slave. And believe me, once Scourge gets a sight of that little hedgehog, fox, or hedgefox or what have you, he'll break down instantly." Luna stated. She was so right. I mean, this was so much better then having a baby in high school, not having a job or parents to help support me. Luna would help and give some money, but I could never really accept it.
"I guess. Besides all that, the real reason im calling is about the pregnancy. I mean, what do I do? What do I eat? What do I avoid? I mean-" I started as she started laughing.
"One at a time, girl." She said, calming down after a minute or two. "Okay, im good now. So, when your pregnant, theres a lot of changes. Like your gonna be throwing up every morning or every day for the next three months." She started while I groaned. This was only the beginning?
"Your gonna get crazy cravings for things like, chocolate and pickles, or if your like me, fruit and meat sandwiches. Then comes these mood swings, where you'll cry one minute, be happy the next before turning into a mad fireball of anger. That part I liked, messing with Shadow by crying or whatever." She said with a small chuckle.
"Getting more into it, your gonna be off the uh, ya know, time of the month until like, a month after the babies born? Whatever. Anyways, your also gonna get swollen breasts since your gonna be breast feeding the pup for a bit, and lastly, you and Scourge can do it all you want, just dont go insane." Luna said. With those words, I could feel the hot blush burning hotter and hotter. I could only imagine how that would go, though it might make Scourge come around when he hears that good news.
"So, is that it?" I asked just to be sure.
"Well, that and avoid spicy foods. Its not good for the pup." She said as I groaned.
"But I wanted to try that Thai food at the new restaurant in town." I said in a whining tone. After hearing it, I wondered where the hell that tone came from.
"Oh good, the mood swings are starting, huh?" She asked. I could practically see the smirk on her face. Then there was a crying voice in the backround and a male cursing. "Aw, god damn it! I told you to watch Rosa!" I heard my sister yell at her red and black mate.
"I did!" Shadow responded.
"Oh, then how did she bump her head if you were watching her? I swear, I give you one job and you dont even-" She argued when I hung up in fear. She sounded ticked now, but that could be some emotional feelings left over, or protective, motherly instincts kicking in.
Besides that, I finished the sandwich and sighed to myself, looking out the window, the sun shining for once since the storm yesterday. It looked beautiful outside, amazing with the dew glistening on the grass, inside I still felt horrible. Sharing the pain the pup was having as its father wasnt around like I hoped.
