Chapter 7
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I had yet to face the ducks, including Adam. The only people I had seen were Julie and Guy, both of whom had agreed not to say anything about my return until I was totally ready to answer their questions. Julie had told me when I had gotten up yesterday, that Guy knew about me being pregnant, which I accepted, she hadn't purposely told him. Today was the day that Julie was finally moving, I had mixed feelings for her, but I managed to keep them all to myself. Just as Guy took the last boxes down to his car, Julie took one last glance around the apartment.
"Jule's don't cry, you'll set me off". I told her.
"I can't help it". She wept. I hugged her tightly, before pushing her toward the door.
"I expect an invite to the house warming". I joked. "I'll see you later".
"Bye". She said, and then left.
After I closed the door behind her, I turned back into my now lonely apartment. I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would be this soon. I wandered around, trying to think of something to do. Finally deciding what I was going to do, I picked the phone up and called the one person I needed to see.
"Hi, It's me... Erm... I need to see you... Bye". The conversation was quick and over within seconds.
Within 10 minutes, the intercom buzzed, instead of answering it, I just pushed the entrance button and opened the door ready.
"Hey, welcome back". He said as soon as he saw me, and lifted me into a hug. I felt awkward and tense. "So what's up"? He asked letting go of me and closing the door.
"I need to tell you something". I told him leading him to the living room and sitting on the sofa. He sat on the coffee table directly in front of me, a worried expression crossing his face.
"What"? He asked impatiently.
"The reason I went home, was because, I, I needed some space, some thinking time". I began.
"You still feel weird about what happened between us don't you"?
"It does have something to do with that night, but it's not because I feel weird, it's because"... I stuttered. "I'm pregnant". I finally managed to blurt out.
"You're... You're". He stammered, wiping his chin, then getting up and pacing around the apartment, chuckling in an almost hysterical manner. I sat there, unsure of what to say or do. "You know, that's a good one, you almost had me there".
"I'm not joking around Adam, do you see me laughing". I told him.
"Of course you're joking, I know Charlie and the guys are hidden". He began looking in Julie's room, the bathroom, cupboards and even outside the apartment.
"Still not laughing Adam. It isn't a joke, the only people that know about it, are Julie and Guy".
"And what makes you so sure that it's mine". He was nearly hysterical.
"You're right, it's not yours. I just wanted to pin it on you because I've slept with that many men, I don't know who the real father is". I snapped. "There you go, you're off the God damn hook". I grabbed my jacket and stormed out. Why the hell I was storming out, was beyond me, but all I knew was I had to get away from him before I said something I would regret.
ADAM'S P.O.V
"Just great Banks, Just fan bloody tastic". I paced back and forth in Connie's apartment, before deciding to go after her. I got outside and there wasn't a sign of her. I ran to the end of the street, still nothing, I tried the other end, not so much as a trace of her. Then it hit me, shed' have gone to Julie and Guy's. I ran all the way there, I quickly rang the bell and awaited the door opening. Julie opened it, revealing her and Guy unpacking her things.
"Is Connie here"? I went in.
"No, why? What's wrong"? Julie asked.
"She's just told me that she's pregnant, and I didn't handle it too well". I panted.
"Exactly what did you say"? Guy stood up and made his way over to us.
"I asked her who the father was, then she stormed out".
"You idiot". Julie said angrily.
"I know, feel free to gob at me later, can you just please help me find her".
"Come on". Guy said grabbing his jacket. "Julie, wait here, she might end up here". He told her, giving her a quick kiss then run out by my side. "You've done some stupid things in your time Banks, but this has to got to the stupidest". He told me as we drove around town.
"I know, I know. But what would you do if the girl of your dreams, after a one night stand told you she was pregnant. I panicked, I did what any normal guy in my position do". I argued my point.
"What did you just say"? He looked at me quickly before putting his attention back on the road. "You like Connie, as in more than a friend? Since when"?
"Since always". Thankfully I was interrupted by my phone ringing. "Hello... No, not yet... ok, we'll go there now". I hung up. "That was Julie, she said we've to try the hospital". I relayed information to him.
"Why the hospital"?
"She might have gone for an abortion".
"Surely things weren't that bad". He seemed shocked.
"No, but apparently she was undecided whether to keep it or abort it, I might have just pushed her to her decision".
We both dashed into the hospital, where the main receptionist gave us directions to the pregnancy clinic. When we arrived in the clinic, there was no immediate sign of her, so I went and asked the receptionist if she had checked in, she was very hesitant at first, until I told her I was the father, and it was only then that she told me that she hadn't. Not really knowing where to look next, we drove the long way back to Julie and Guy's.
"Any luck"? Julie asked as soon as we stepped through the door. Guy shook his head. "What now"?
"She'll go home eventually, she's just letting off steam. One of us can go and check her place in a bit, and if she hasn't gone home before tonight, we'll call the others and start looking again". Guy said sensibly.
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I walked briskly around town, I needed to let off steam, before heading back home to face Adam. I wasn't particularly mad, I was upset, that he would even think that I would tell him he was the father, if he wasn't. I know, I can't really blame him for his reaction, but at the time, I knew if I didn't get out of there, I would say something I'd really regret later. The situation was like a red rag to a bull. Now I know what you're all thinking, you think I'm gonna dash over to the clinic and have an abortion, but I'm not that stupid, I might make rash decisions but never that rash. I wandered around town, mulling thoughts over in my head, trying to determine whether of not I was ready to head on back. Deciding I wasn't I continued walking around, well that was until it started raining. I'd have been quite happy walking around in it, as it wasn't particularly cold, but as I walked passed this small bar, I felt it calling out to me, and as you do, I went in and ordered myself a drink, and then another. Upon ordering my 3rd drink, this guy sat next to me, and ordered a drink for himself and paid for my drink as well as his own, before I had the chance to argue about it.
"Thanks". I mumbled.
"So, tell me, what a pretty young lady like yourself is doing here all alone"? What a corny pick up line if ever I heard one.
"Waiting for my boyfriend". I replied. Ok, ok, I know it's a lie, but I was hoping it might make him back off.
"Mind if I wait with you"?
"Sure". I answered. Well I couldn't exactly say no could I, the man had just bought me a drink.
Eventually, we began having a chat, and somewhere around my 5th or 6th drink, I told him the truth about the boyfriend bit, then getting a little carried away with myself told him the whole story about me being pregnant and my row with Adam. I strangely found myself trusting this guy, as he told me that his wife got pregnant and told him it was his, but after the baby was born, he was really ill and blood tests had to be done and he found out the baby wasn't his. I was now past the point of being able to tell whether this was a lie or not, but I still continued talking to him.
OHH What do you thinks gonna happen? PLEASE R&R!!!!
