"And?" Amy asked.
"Maybe you should come in and let the doctor read you the results." the nurse stated.
"No that's okay. Just tell me."
"Okay well...you're pregnant. Congratulations!" the nurse said.
"Oh my..." she said dropping the phone.
"Hello? Hello? are you still there? the nurse asked.
"Yes, yes I'm here." Amy said regaining her composure and picking up the phone.
"Well we will need to set up an appointment for next month to have a little check-up...is June 7th okay?"
"Yes ma'am that's fine." Amy replied still a little shaken up.
"Will the father be joining you?"
"I am not sure...I doubt it."
"Oh well okay, I'll see you then."
"Yeah." Amy said hanging up the phone. Oh my god. Why is this happening to me? Amy asked out loud as she slid down the wall with her head in her hands.
*Ding, Dong*
"Coming." Amy said wiping her eyes and trying to make it look like she hadn't been crying.
"Yeah?" she asked opening the door, surprised to see who was standing on the other side.
"Hey" Jeff said." Oh my gosh, are you okay? What's wrong?" he asked noticing her pale face and red eyes.
"What? I'm fine, nothing is wrong."
"Amy I've known you way too long. I can tell when something's up. Why were you crying?"
"I wasn't..."
"Amy..." he interrupted.
"I have some news."
"Oh, good or bad?" he asked not sure if he wanted to know the answer.
"Well it kind of depends..."
"On what?"
"On you."
"Oh." he replied not sure of what to say.
"Look I have no idea how to tell you this so I am going to just say it..."
"Say what?" he cut in.
"No, please don't interrupt, because I'm not sure I can find the courage to do this again. So here it goes...I'm pregnant." she stated closing her eyes and wishing the whole world would just fade away. Jeff stood there shocked. He had a million thoughts running through his mind, but for the life of him he could not form a coherent sentence.
"Oh my god, please say something!" Amy shouted getting frustrated with the silence.
"Marry me." he said totally shocked that those words, out of all the words in the English language had come out of his mouth.
"What?" Amy asked just as shocked if not more than he was.
"Marry me." he repeated.
"Are you crazy? We could never do that." she stated totally dumbstruck that he would even suggest such a thing.
"Why not?"
"Because it's not right!"
"Why not?"
"Well for one we're not ready and for two we don't love each other." she said.
"I love you." Jeff said confidently.
"Yeah as a friend. I love you as a friend too, but that is no reason to get married."
"Look I was raised in a house with a single parent. Now I love my father and he did a great job, but he was always busy and never there. I don't want my child to grow up with a father that just comes and goes."
"Do you really think marriage will fix that problem? Amy asked.
"Yes." Jeff answered simply.
"Okay, I know that is probably our best option, but ever since I was a little girl I had my dream wedding, and I don't know I just always thought my dream would come true." Amy said a little embarrassed.
"Well we can still make it come true."
"How?"
"You can plan the wedding just the way it was in your dream."
"And my dream man?"
"I'll just have to substitute for him." Jeff stated with a small smile.
After a few minutes Amy replied "Okay."
"Okay?" Jeff asked hopefully.
"Yes...I'll marry you."
"Yes!" Jeff said as he picked up Amy and swung her around. "Oh wait. I better be careful." he said putting her down. "That's my boy in there." he stated with a proud smile.
"Your boy?"
"Maybe you should come in and let the doctor read you the results." the nurse stated.
"No that's okay. Just tell me."
"Okay well...you're pregnant. Congratulations!" the nurse said.
"Oh my..." she said dropping the phone.
