She stormed upstairs, ran into her room and slammed the door.
Ephram: (to himself) what now?
He sat back down on the couch and sighed, he figured he would give her some time to cool off before he went and talked to her.
About 10 minutes later...
Madison was sitting up in bed, reading a magazine, when she heard a knock on the door, she knew who it was so she ignored it. When Ephram didn't hear a response, he decided to just go in. He walked in and looked at her. She glanced up from her magazine and then looked back down.
Ephram: I'm sorry...(he sighed) can you just look at me? (Madison put her magazine down and looked at him) ok...I-I'm sorry...you were right...I should have thought about you and what happened earlier...and how that must have scared you...I guess I was only thinking of myself...and how scared I was...
Madison: Before tonight...I wasn't even thinking about that...but now...it's constantly at the back of my mind...I mean, it can happen, it's a possibility, it's not just something that happens on soap operas...it's real
Ephram: I know...(he looked down)
Madison: I mean...how could you drop a bomb on me like that and then expect me to forget about it in less than 2 hours?!
Ephram: I don't know...I-I just wasn't thinking...I guess
Madison: yeah...you weren't...I mean...(she sighed) God Ephram...
Ephram: I'm sorry...I feel like an idiot...
Madison: Rightfully so...you think I'm pregnant...and when you find out I'm not, you think everything is just gonna go back to normal!?
Ephram: So-so what are you saying? Are you saying we-we're never gonna have sex again?!
Madison: No...no that's not what I'm saying at all...but you didn't seriously think that after all that...(she sighed) it's just so much of a reality now...it's a legitimate possibility...I just...I don't know...I don't know what to do...
Ephram went and sat down next to her.
Ephram: Why did I ever listen to Bright?
Madison half smiled.
She leaned against him and he put his arm around her. They sat there in silence for a while, playing with each other's fingers.
Madison: You know...I think we're coming to "that point..."
Ephram: What point?
Madison: You know..."that point"
Ephram: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
Madison: that point in a relationship...where everything about the other person starts to annoy you...and then you start fighting about the most pointless things...and everything gets like 20 times harder...
Ephram: Wait-wait a minute...things are gonna get harder?!
Madison: Yup...
Ephram: And do couple's ever survive this "point?"
Madison: I don't know...
Ephram: Well...how do we get through it?
Madison: I don't know...I guess we just have to try harder...but give each other space when we need it...that kinda thing
Ephram: great...(sarcastically)
Madison: But I do know that we will...no matter what...we'll get through it
Ephram: (sighed) I know...I love you
Madison: I love you too
Madison smiled and then snuggled closer to him and closed her eyes. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
Ephram woke up the next morning and Madison wasn't next to him. He looked around for her, but then heard the shower turn on. He slowly stood up and looked at the clock, he had a couple hours before he needed to get Delia. He walked to the bathroom and opened the door, when he saw that Madison hadn't noticed him, he got an idea. He quietly walked over to the toilet and flushed it.
Madison: (screaming) OOOh my god!! What the- (she noticed Ephram standing by the toilet) you did not just do that!
Ephram: (laughing) it was an accident...(trying to look innocent)
Madison: (turning off the water) uh huh (sarcastically)
Ephram: (still laughing) oh c'mon...it was funny
Madison: (stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel) To you...
Ephram turned his back towards her and started to walk out when she jumped on him and took him to the floor.
They were both laughing as Madison shook her wet hair in his face.
Ephram: Ok-ok you got me...happy?
Madison: Nope...
She kissed him passionately, and they started making-out on the bathroom floor. They stopped each other once things got too heated.
Madison: (sighed) I should go get dressed...
Ephram: Y-yeah...yeah...that's a good idea
Madison got up and re-wrapped the towel around herself, then walked back to her room.
Ephram sat up and shook some thoughts out of his head, then walked downstairs.
Madison walked downstairs and heard Ephram in the kitchen.
Madison: (walking in) Please don't tell me you're cooking...
Ephram: (looked back at her and smiled) don't worry...it's just cereal...I can make that
Madison: good...
Ephram poured Madison a bowl and they sat at the counter and ate.
Madison: So...how are we gonna get over this thing?
Ephram: (playing with his cereal) I...I don't know...
Madison: We can't just avoid it...
Ephram: I know...it's pretty impossible...
Madison: I was thinking....you know...maybe I should go on the pill...?
Ephram: y-y-you mean birth control???
Madison: No Viagra...(sarcastically)
Ephram: (smiled) are you...I mean... are you sure?
Madison: Well...I don't know...that's why I brought it up...
Ephram: B-but isn't it...isn't it like the same? I mean doesn't it have like the-the same chances as condoms?
Madison: I don't know...I guess I'd have to do some research...but I think it would help us...you know...so we don't have to worry any more...I guess
Ephram: Yeah...well I-I think it's a good idea...b-but we definitely have to look into it more...
Madison: Yeah...(she smiled and went back to her breakfast)
The next chapter will probably be the last. Thanks everyone for reading.
