Chapter 6
Kaleigh sat in her living room on the couch with her head in her hands. She was nauseous and felt like she was going to throw up again. Oh God she thought to herself, I know what's wrong with me. I'm pregnant. How in the hell did someone get pregnant the first time they had sex! It wasn't fair! What the hell was she going to do! She would have to leave Whitby, everyone would know whose baby it was. And she knew they would tell him, and she didn't want him to come back to her just because of this. Where would she go?
What would she do? She had to talk to someone.
She drove to Mike and Beth's house, Mike would be at work.
"Hi Kaleigh, you look like hell! Are you sick?" Beth said as she led her to the couch
"Yes Beth I am sick. I've been throwing up all morning." She looked Beth in the eye "and every morning for the last week"
It didn't take Beth long to figure it out. "Kaleigh, oh no! You're pregnant aren't you?"
Kaleigh didn't have to answer
"I don't understand, I didn't know you had been seeing anyone, other than Andy... Oh Kaleigh, it's his isn't it?"
Beth held Kaleigh while she cried.
"Beth I don't know what to do! He left and I don't want him to come back because of this. Please don't tell anyone ok? Not even Mike, Especially not Mike!" She pleaded
"I won't Kaleigh I promise. Mike is still pissed. I know he is jealous of Andy. He was worried you'd get hurt. And now look! You're hurt anyway. You won't be able to hide it for long. And the people close to you will know whose baby it is."
"I thought about moving to Toronto, right away, no one will know at least they won't be sure whose baby it is."
"Kaleigh, he has a right to know you are carrying his child."
"I know Beth but I also know he will insist on marrying me and I want him to want me, not because of the baby."
"Kaleigh, it's your decision hon. I will help you anyway I can. Just tell me what you want."
"Take me to Toronto? My car probably won't make it."
Inside of a week Beth and Kaleigh had her safely tucked away in a small apartment in Toronto.
