Chapter Thirty-Seven: Baby Scare

The next morning, we all said goodbye to the newlyweds and Asher and the rest of us left. Gramps and Bobby headed back to Bobby's so we parted ways with them as well. Jason and me were stuck in the back seat of the Toyota for the first part of the trip. Jason and I were both tired from the previous night (no we didn't do anything, we just talked a lot...most of the night actually) and eventually ended up falling asleep. Turns out that my parents drove us all the way home and we dropped Jason off before heading home ourselves.

It was so good to see Duckie and Doggie, both of whom had been taken care of by Christi while we were gone. I was wide awake when we got home and cooked Mom and Dad and me some pasta and sauce for dinner. Both were tired, but we talked a lot about the wedding. Mom and Dad mostly talked about how they never thought Uncle D would settle down, least alone with Jo, as they had always seemed to have fights. Lover-spats actually.

Just as Mom had me laughing over something that Uncle D had done when he first started going out with Jo, the phone rang and I jumped up to get it.

"Hello?"

"Abby! Oh good you're home!" Christi's voice came over the line.

"Yeah...why didn't you call my cell?"

"I wanted to tell your parents that Duckie and Doggie had been good...but it's good that you answered. Can you spend the night?"

I bit my lip and looked at my parents. It was a week when I didn't have any school so I didn't think they'd have a problem. Just in case, I stuck my head into the kitchen where my parents were, and asked, "Hey, can I stay over Christi's tonight?" They both agreed and I told Chris I'd be over in a few minutes. I quickly grabbed some clothes and my cell, kissed Doggie and Duckie goodbye and then Dad was nice enough to drive me to Christi's. I yelled a "Bye! See you tomorrow sometime!" to him as he drove off before walking into Christi's. Her mom greeted me from where she was sewing a dress in the living room (she's a small fashion disigner) and walked up to Christi's room. As soon as I opened the door, I found myself enveloped in a huge hug from my friend.

"I'm happy to see you too, Chris," I said, hugging her back.

"I couldn't tell you over the phone, Abby," she said, letting me go and closing her bedroom door.

"Tell me what?" I asked as she pulled me down next to her on her bed.

She took a deep breath and faced me. "I think I'm pregnant."

I raised my eyebrows. "What?"

She closed her eyes and lay back on her bed. "I don't know! I missed my period and I'm starting to freak out, Abby."

"Look, have you taken a test?" I knew I wasn't freaking out as much as Christi, but I was still freaking out. I mean, what would happen to her if she was pregnant? The conversation I had with my dad about the same thing came back to me.

She shook her head. "No. My mom's been home from work this whole past week and I don't want her to know."

"Let's sneak out tonight then."

"What?"

"Sneak out, go to the convinence store and buy a test."

"But..."

"Christi, you can't keep putting this off."

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and nodded. "Yeah I know."

We were quiet for a few minutes until a thought hit me: "Does Brandon know?"

"No," she said, sitting up. "I don't want to tell him until I know for sure. I don't need him freaking out."

"Yeah, no need for each of you to be freaking out," I said with a grin. It got her to smile and that was a start.

At around nine at night, Christi's mom went to bed and we stayed up in her room, watching a movie. After we finished watching X-Men The Last Stand (where I swooned over Pyro and Christi couldn't stop staring at Wolverine), we decided to sneak out. Christi's bedroom window was right above the back porch. We slid open the window and stepped out onto the little roof. There was a metal trash bin next to the porch, and we lowered ourselves onto that before getting onto the ground. Once I helped Christi down, I grabbed her hand and we ran out of her yard and down the street. We crossed the little bridge and park and got to the convinence store. There was a twenty-something girl at the register. I was just glad that a guy hadn't been working there. We got the first test Christi got her hands on, paid for it and raced back to her house. We climbed up onto the porch roof and back into her bedroom again. I glanced at the clock; we had only been gone half an hour.

I kept track of the time and three minutes later, Christi went back into her bathroom and looked at the test. It had two pink lines.

"Shit," she said under her breath. "Abby what am I gunna do?" She sat down on the edge of the bathtub and put her head in her hands.

I sat next to her and put my arm around her shoulders. "I don't know...we should see a real doctor though. I mean, sometimes these tests are wrong, right?"

She took a shaky breath and nodded. "You're right...will you come with me?" She looked over at me.

I nodded. "Of course."

So we talked all night (obviously) and then I walked with her to the bus station then downtown to the hospital. I signed her in and then after they did whatever sort of test they had to do, I waited in the room with her. In the spot where most husbands stood, but I guess two teenage girls were a common sight because the staff didn't seem too concerned with it just being us. The nice lady who was helping us came in and said that the hometest was faulty and Christi wasn't pregnant. She started crying and laughing at the same time. We were both super relieved. I mean, I was just as worried for Christi as she was herself. I was glad that she wasn't pregnant, I'm not sure if Brandon could have handled it.

A/N: ok yes. I've not disappeared! I promise! I've just been super busy with...life lol. I'm going to finish this story then start in the next oldest one's and just go like that. I hope.
