Chapter 8: Talking

Lisa knew that she needed to talk with someone about this news she just received a couple of days ago. She knew she didn't want to speak with her best friend Jaime just quite yet, so she decided to call her cousin Nick, knowing that he would be willing to listen to what she had to say. She picked up the phone and called him.

"Hi Aunt Lucy, is Nick around please?"

"Sure, hang on a second Lisa."

"Hey Lisa, what's going on?"

"Nick, I really need to talk with someone right now can you please come over?"

"Sure, is now a good time?"

"Yea, just come upstairs to my room, that's where I will be waiting."

"Okay, I will leave right now."

"Thanks Nick, bye"

With this telephone call Nick knew something had to be the matter if it was so urgent that Lisa needed to speak with him. Before leaving the house, he told his mom where he was going and then headed to Lisa's house. Upon arriving, his Aunt Mary answered the door saying that Lisa is upstairs in her room waiting on him. When he got there, he saw Lisa laying on her bed with tears streaming down her face. Nick rushed over.

"Lisa, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Nick, I don't know how to tell you this but I went to the doctor the other day with my mom and they did an ultrasound and I am pregnant."

With this Nick was shocked beyond belief. He didn't know what to say. All he could do was give her a hug and comfort her. Shortly, Lisa stopped and said to Nick in a whisper,

"You are the only one who knows about this, but can you please tell Jaime for me?"

"Sure, I can. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No just tell Jaime and make sure she doesn't tell anyone else."

"Okay, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay?"

"Okay."

With this, Nick hugged his cousin one last time and said his goodbyes and headed back home to call Jaime and break the news to her.
