TPOV:
Weeks go by and everything is peaceful. When we aren't in classes, Sara and I spend every moment together. Usually we just lay in bed, cuddling, and watching Sara's favorite show, the dog whisperer. When her cravings start I head out to the store every hour it seems like. She doesn't just crave one thing it changes so fast. One minute she is craving pickles and the next cheesecake. I don't mind though. Everything about the pregnancy excites me. When the baby started kicking harder and more frequently I took every chance to touch Sara's growing tummy. Every night, after I kiss Sara goodnight, I always kiss the baby bump. Each day, I find myself growing more and more attached to the little baby growing inside of her.
I wake up to the sun shining through the window. I guess Sara opened it last night so there was now a nice breeze coming through. I sit up in bed and rub my eyes. When I look at Sara I see she is wearing nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. My boxer briefs to be exact. And the sheet she had been using was on the floor by the foot of the bed. I guess she had another hot flash. I decide to go buy her a fan before she wakes up. She's been sleeping a lot lately. It was hard to get her up to go to 10am classes let alone wake up with me at 9. I throw on a baggy black shirt and slip on my favorite washed out pink shorts. Sara hates them on me so I make sure to wear them often. Right as I step out into the hall, I run straight into Emy. She drops a book and we both lean down to get it at the same time. She stops and lets me grab it. When I hand it to her, she barely looks me in the eye. Instead, she is looking down. She mumbles thank you. I turn to leave and once I'm about to get in the elevator Emy yells, "Wait!" I hold it and she rushes down the hall. She gets in and we stand in silence too long. She finally says, "I'm really sorry about the way I've been acting toward you. I guess I was just…" She pauses so I continue, "Jealous? You have a crush on Sara. I know." She looks at me surprised and then looks down. "I did. I don't anymore. I think you both make a great couple and I'm so happy she has you. Y'know after everything she's going through…" She doesn't continue so I ask what she means. "Well you know...how she's pregnant and how she was um…" I look at her confused but she just gives me a sad look. "Emy, how'd you hear about that?" She chips at the nail polish on her thumb and says softly, "It's sort of all around school…" I glare at her and say, "What the hell do you mean, it's all over school!" She looks at me, fear in her eyes. "Um...I guess…" She gulps and continues quickly, "Trevor told a few people at a party that she let him and his friend...well he explained it in way too much detail...and then he said that she freaked out and he thinks she is pregnant." My insides boil at her words and I can't even look at Emy. When the elevator opens I walk out and walk over to the coffee table in the middle of the room. I need to break something. I pick up a vase and carry it outside. Luckily no one is paying attention at this early hour. When I get outside I throw the thing as far as I can and it shatters in some bushes. I hear footsteps behind me and then Emy gasps. I turn to look at her and she reaches out to me. "Tegan I know your mad and I was too when I heard him saying those things but this isn't going to get you anywhere." She says this calming while holding my hand with hers. I ignore her and say, "take me to his house."
