Please keep R&R they really help. :)
Matt was in one of his classes.The prof. was handing back tests that the class had written.Matt had studied hard for his and tried his best.But Sarah and him had had a fight earlier that day and he had been distracted when he was writing it.The prof. dropped Matt's test in front of him.Matt kept his eyes closed and took a deep breath as he opened his eyes.To his surprise there was a big red B on the front.Excitement surged through Matt.This had to be one of his best marks lately.The proffesor walked back over and grabbed the test.
Prof:I'm sorry I gave you the wrong test.Here's yours. The prof. placed a different test on Matt's desk.Unfortunatley this test had a D on it.His excitement died away quickly.
Mary and Lucy nervously sat in Lucy's apartment.
M:So who's gonna go first?
L:I don't know.I don't really want to.
M:Neither do I. They sat there for a while longer silently, both in deep thought. Lucy stood up.
L:I'll go.No point in waiting.Kevin is going to be home soon. Lucy walked into the bathroom and closed the door.She emerged a few minutes later.
L:I have to wait 2 minutes.
M:I'll go do mine so we can find out at the same time.
When the timer went off four minutes later Lucy and Mary both went into the bathroom where their tests waited on the counter.Both of them picked up their tests with their eyes closed.
M:Ok, let's look. Each of them opened their eyes and stared down at the results of their future.No one talked for a while as they held the tests in their hands.
L:Mine's negative.
M:It's negative!?How can that be?
L:I don't know.But it is.Well, I guess I should be relieved.What's yours?
M:It's...p-positive. Mary sat down on the toilet and leaned back.
L:Are you serious?
M:I can't believe it.I'm not ready for this. Lucy put her arm around Mary.
L:It's going to be ok.
M:Sure you can say that, you're not pregnant.
L:You might not be either.These tests aren't completely right.You have to get it confirmed by a doctor.
M:I guess.But come on.I wouldn't be feeling this way for nothing.I know I'm pregnant.
L:Even if you are, it's not that bad.It's a baby.You'll be a mother.In a way I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not.I didn't want to say it because I'm still not ready.I should be relieved, but I'm kind of sad.
M:Thanks Luce, I still don't feel better, but you're a great sister.
L:You too.I'm glad I didn't have to do this alone.
M:I should talk to Carlos.I also need to make an appointment to confirm it so I better get home.
L:Do you want me to drive you home?
M:No I'll be fine. Lucy and Mary hugged before Mary left.Once she was gone Lucy lied down on her bed as a tear escaped and rolled down her cheek.She cried a bit before she fell asleep.At five Kevin arrived home.
K:Sweetie I'm home. Kevin came up to find Lucy asleep.Her face had tear stains on it.Not knowing why his wife was upset Kevin decided to let her sleep.Her put a blanket on her and went to the house to eat.
He returned to the apartment with some food.Lucy was still asleep but when he closed the door she awoke.
K:Hey.I brought you something to eat.
L:Oh, thanks.
K:So, are you ok?
L:What do you mean?
K:I can see you've been crying.What's the matter? Lucy quickly tried to think of a lie.
L:Oh umm, I watched a really sad show.I guess I fell asleep while watching it.
K:Really? Lucy avoided looking directly at Kevin.
L:Yes.It was a soap opera.You know how they get.
K:Oh of course.Well why don't you have something to eat and then maybe we can go out and get some ice cream?
L:That sounds great but I'm still pretty tired and not feeling so great.
K:You've been sleeping for how long and you're still tired?
L:Yes.You know I haven't been sleeping good lately.I've been up day and night throwing up.
K:It's been a while now and you've still been getting sick every day.Maybe you should go get checked out at the hospital.It could be serious.
L:I'm fine! Lucy got up, grabbed the plate of food and stormed out.
3 weeks passed.Mary got it confirmed at the hospital that she was pregnant.After telling Carlos, she told the family.Lucy hadn't told Kevin or anyone else about her pregnancy scare, but she still hadn't been getting better.So one day Kevin told her he had made an appointment for her.Lucy refused to go.She was half scared because even though she wasn't pregnant she still didn't feel good.After a lot of pleading she decided she better find out what was wrong with her and let Kevin take her to her appointment.
In the waiting room Lucy tried to read a magazine but it was hard to concentrate.Her hand was shaking slightly.Kevin grabbed her hand and gave it an encouraging squeeze.
K:It'll be ok.
L:How can you say that? Kevin tried to answer, but knew that he didn't know that everything would be ok.Finally, after what seemed like hours the nurse called Lucy's name.
K:I want to come with you.
L:You don't have to.
K:I want to.
L:Ok. The couple held hands as they walked to the doctors examining room. A minute later Dr. Hastings (aka Lucy's uncle Hank) entered the room.
DrH: Hi guys.
L&K:Hi.
DrH:So what are we here for today?
L:Well, I haven't been feeling good for about a month now.
DrH:I see.What exactly have you been feeling?
L:I'm tired a lot, feel nautious, get sick.Those kinds of things.
DrH: I have an idea already what might be wrong.Of course I'll have to do a test to make sure.
K:What do you think's wrong with her?
DrH: I think that you may be pregnant. Kevin let the news sink in.Lucy was a bit surprised.
L:But the test... Lucy noticed what she was saying and stopped.
K:What test?
DrH: Did you take a pregnancy test? Kevin stared at Lucy.
K:Did you?
L:Umm, well..yeah about 3 weeks ago.
K:You thought you were pregnant and didn't tell me?
L:I was scared.I wasn't sure.I didn't want to tell you until I was sure.But I took a test and it was negative so I thought that was the end of it.
DrH: Those tests aren't always right.We'll have to do one now and find out for sure.
L:(quietly)Ok.
DrH: Let me go get needles so I can take blood and I'll be right back.If you can get me a urine sample right now that would be great.
L:Alright. Dr. Hastings gave Lucy a cup and pointed her to the bathroom.
K:I'll be right here sweetie. After Lucy was finished in the bathroom her and Kevin waited for Dr. Hastings to return.
L:I hate needles.Why can't they just use the urine sample.
K:They want to be sure.
L:If we wait a few months we'll know.
K:Don't worry Luce.You can hold my hand and squeeze it as hard as you want.You won't even hardly feel the needle anyways.
When Dr.H returned he had sharp needles on a tray.Lucy rolled up her sleeve and he cleaned her arm. Lucy closed her eyes and held onto Kevin with her other arm.She winced a tiny bit when the first needle went it.He gave her 2 more needles.
DrH: Done.I hope that wasn't too bad.
L:Well it wasn't terribly painful but I wouldn't do it for nothing. Kevin kissed Lucy.
K:You did good. I know how scared you are of needles.
L:Thanks.
DrH: Well I'll bring this to the lab and we should have your results in about 15 minutes.So if you'll go wait in the waiting room I'll call you into my office when they're ready.
L:Ok.
Lucy and Kevin nervously waited for 15 minutes.Normally 15 minutes would go by quickly, but now it seemed to pass like a boring history class would.Kevin wanted to talk to Lucy.He was a bit hurt that she didn't tell him before when she thought she was pregnant.The silence was broken by the nurse calling Lucy's name again.They headed to Dr. Hasting's office.He came in after them.
DrH: Take a seat. Lucy and Kevin sat down in the chairs facing Dr.Hastings.
DrH:Well the results are back.
L:And.
DrH: And the test you took at home was wrong.Congratulations, you're pregnant! A smile began to grow on both Lucy and Kevin's faces.
K:We're havin a baby. He looked at Lucy then kissed her passionatley.When they broke apart Kevin had a few tears in his eyes but was still smiling.After giving Lucy special vitamins and a few pamphlets, Lucy and Kevin left.Before leaving they made an appointment for the second following Saturday to see how far along Lucy was.During the whole ride home Kevin kept talking about how they were going to be parents.Lucy just listened with a smile that seemed to be permanently stuck on her face.
