It was a week after the check-up and Relena was on end. Everything was making her nervous and she wasn't jumpy around everybody. She had barely spoken to anyone since then.
She sat down on a cushioned chair in her room when suddenly the phone rang. She jumped and the chair fell over. She grabbed the phone off the hook and said gruffly into the speaker, "Yes?"
"Miss Darlain? This is Dr. Silverman. Your test results have come in," a serious voice spoke up on the other end.
"And?" Relena asked, as tense as ever.
"Miss Darlain, it would be better not to discuss this over the phone. Could you please come in and see me at ... 4:30? I can explain everything to you then."
Relena's face became dark. "Is there something wrong Dr. Silverman?"
"I just think it would be better to talk about this in person. Good day, Miss Darlain." And with that, Dr. Silverman hung up the phone.
As soon as Relena set the phone down on its hook, it rang again and Relena nearly jumped out of her skin. She yanked the phone back up. "What?" she cried.
"Rel, calm down, it's only me, Hilde. It's been a week. Have you heard from Dr. S since then?"
*I really don't want her to know, do I?* Relena thought to herself. Then, she made her decision. *I hope I don't have to regret this ...* "No, actually, I haven't. I'm still waiting, as anxious as ever."
Relena couldn't tell that Hilde frowned. "Well, you'll give me a call when she does, yes?"
"Sure, whatever." Relena glanced at the clock which now read '4:00.' "Look, Hilde I've got to go. I've got a scheduled appointment with somebody at 4:30 and I haven't even taken a shower yet. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, Relena. Be sure to call back."
"Bye, Hilde." Relena hung up the phone and pulled a blouse and black pair of slacks out of her closet.

Relena was in the same room as the one when she had her check-up. "Well, Miss Darlain," Dr. Silverman began, "I'm happy to inform you that you do not have any implications of an STD." Relena let out a sigh of relief. "But-"
"But what?" Relena interrupted the woman before her. Dr. Silverman raised an eyebrow. "Please continue."
Dr. Silverman gulped. *If she was worried about a 'but' how in God's name am I going to tell this to her?* Steeling back all fear, she continued. "But, Relena, I'm positive that you're pregnant." Relena's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell over.
*~*~*~*
Relena awoke to a nurse fanning her with a piece of paper. She was all groggy and the room was spinning around her. When she finally came into focus, the nurse left and she made out Dr. Silverman who was standing before her.
"There must be a mistake. I can't be pregnant! I mean, I'm only fifteen!" Dr. Silverman looked at Relena sadly.
"Yes, I know and I'm sorry. But we conducted the test several times and yes, dear, you are, in fact, pregnant."
"But, but ..." Relena stuttered. She couldn't believe this was happening. Things like this couldn't happen to her!
"Listen, there are several options. One, you can have an abortion," Dr. Silverman began listing them with her fingers.
"Well, that's simply out of the question. How can a pacifist murder a human being? And the fact that they're not born yet is not going to be a factor," Relena said firmly.
"There's adoption," Dr. Silverman continued, sticking out another finger.
Relena bit her bottom lip. "But then the whole world will know that I'm pregnant at fifteen."
"Well then, the only other option left is to keep the child," Dr. Silverman stated simply, "and I don't want to hear a comment about this. This is out of my hands. Make your decision wisely Miss Darlain."

Whelpers, that's it for this chapter! What does Relena do?!? I'm not telling you! You'll just have to wait for the next part. *laughs evilly*
And oh yeah, I haven't done this yet-FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE SICK, HOMELESS, STARVING AND DEFENSELESS LITTLE CHILDREN OUT IN THE WORLD REVIEW ME. O.O' Gomen nasai. Very sorry. Ja! Izzy-chan
