Hey sorry for the really long update, computer problems...anyway im back
Please R&R :)
Cecelia was sitting on the bleachers outside watching baseball practise while studying with a friend.Simon saw her and jogged over.
"Are you playing Stacy here like you played me?" Simon said coolly.
"Excuse me?" Cecelia asked genuinly confused.
"Don't play games I know about everything with Megan.You lied to me and now thanks to you I may never get to talk to Megan ever again.I really cared about her and you ruined it!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Cecelia said after a short pause, trying to sound innocent.
"Cecelia let's stop the crap so we can get through this.Why did you tell me that Megan was with another guy when she wasn't and I had a date with her?And then you get me to go to the movies with you."
"That's the truth.She told me she wouldn't be able to go with you to the movies because she had plans with another guy.Maybe you should talk to her about telling the truth because she obviously lied to you to cover up about her being with someone else" Cecelia yelled back.
"You lie about all of this and even now you won't tell the truth.Well tell me when you feel like being honest.Now I have to go try to get back the girl I care about who I may never get back because of you.So thanks Cecelia." Simon said before storming off, leaving Cecelia speechless.
Matt sat in his apartment in pajamas with books, empty milk cartons and food wrappers surrounding him.He had a huge test the next day and had only studied for a bit the day before. He'd had a long day of classes and working at the hospital and was extremely tired.He kept reading the same sentence over and over until finally he drifted off to sleep.Lately life hadn't been going so well.A regular day consisted of waking up and showering quickly and rushing to class without having time to eat.After classes that he was barely making it through, he'd go to the hospital to do his usual rounds.He was kind of a helper at the hospital.He made a little bit of money, but hardly enough to support him and Sarah.Once he made it home he was tired and cranky and him and Sarah usually fought until he went to sleep, on the couch.At many times he felt like giving up.He wasn't sure if this was normal for a married medical student, but hopefully it was and hopefully things would get better soon.
Lucy and Kevin waited patiently in the hospital waiting room.It was Lucy's 3 month check up and her and Kevin would be able to see the baby in an ultrasound.They were both excited and didn't know what to expect or see.Kevin had taken the day off work to go with Lucy to her appointment.Kevin and Lucy sat flipping through Parent magazines, occasionally stopping to read interesting articles.After about 10 minutes a nurse called Lucy's name and her and Kevin were directed to a room with a bed and a machine.Lucy lied down on the bed and pulled her shirt up as the doctor always ordered.Seconds later Dr. Hastings walked in.
"Well long time no see.How are you two?" Dr. Hastings greeted them.
"Good.How have you been?" Lucy replied.
"I've been good.Busy, but good. Now more importantly how have you been feeling Lucy?" Hank (Dr. Hastings) questioned.
"Other than the morning sickness, I've been ok." Lucy answered.
"Has your morning sickness been bad? How often would you say you get it?Every day?"
"Umm, well I usually get it about 4 days out of the week."
"Has it started to slow down at all?"
"Not really.The 2 weeks haven't been as bad I guess.How much longer will I have morning sickness for?"
"You're at 3 months now so it should be gone by the next week.You still might be nautious every now and then but it's normal." Hank explained.
"Thank god.I can deal with being nautious every now and then but all the time, well it gets really annoying."
"So other than that, are you experiencing anything unnormal?"
"No.I get headaches sometimes and I've started having strange and also late cravings."
"Cravings are normal though right?" Kevin asked.
"Oh yeah.And the things that she might crave might seem strange to you, but to pregnant woman, it's normal." Hank answered.
Kevin and Lucy nodded their heads.
"So if there's no more questions we can get the ultrasound on."
"I don't have anymore, do you" Lucy asked looking at Kevin.
"Not at the moment.I'm sure I will later." Kevin said knowing that they would probably have to explain everything on the ultrasound for him.
"Ok, so Lucy I'm going to rub this gelly on your stomach.It may be a bit cold at first." Hank said going over to a drawer and pulling out a tube of petroleum gelly (I think that's what it's called).
"It won't hurt her right?" Kevin asked, concern in his voice.
"No of course not" Hank said.He squeezed some gell on Lucy's stomach and rubbed it around as Lucy shivered.He turned on the ultrasound machine and in seconds a picture appeared on the screen.
Lucy and Kevin stared at the screen in awe.Lucy couldn't believe it was her baby she was seeing.Kevin on the other hand was still waiting to see where exactly the baby was.He didn't want to say that he couldn't tell which thing was the baby because he didn't want to sound like a bad father, but there was so much black, white and gray it was impossible to make anything out.
"Kevin can you see where the baby is?" Lucy said a smile coming across her face.
"Why would you ask that?" Kevin asked trying not to sound strange.
"Because I know you don't know much about babies, no offence or anything" Lucy replied.
"Well no, how can you tell?There's a white thing in the center and the rest is gray and black"
"You know the white thing you see" Lucy said.
"Yeah."
"That's the baby." Lucy continued.
"That's the baby!? But's it's so small.Is it ok?" Kevin said as his eye's got wide.
"The baby is perfectly healthy.That's the normal size for a 3 month fetus." Hank explained.
Lucy and Kevin got a picture of the baby's ultrasound and then said good bye to Hank and went out to get something to eat at the promenade.They wanted to hear the baby's heartbeat but their time ran out so they'd have to wait til next time.Lucy and Kevin both left the hospital with huge smiles on their faces.
It was 3 in the afternoon and Roxanne had just finished working out at a downtown gym.She was walking to her car getting her keys out of her purse when someone ran up beside her and grabbed her arm.
"Where were you last night?" a man's angry voice growled.
"Jake!What are you doing here?" Roxanne practically screamed.
"Well you see we were supposed to meet last night at my place to party with some of my friends and you didn't show up.I looked like an idiot in front of everyone.Where were you?" Jake repeated.
"I-I had to work late." Roxanne stuttered.
"You never told me"
"I didn't find out until I was at work" Roxanne's voice quivered with fear.
"It's called a phone.How stupid are you!" Jake spat.
"I'm s-sorry" Roxanne said holding back tears.If she was going to break up with him, she'd better do it now.He had become physically and verbally abusive and she couldn't let it get worse.Gathering up all the courage she had Roxanne straightened up and stared directly into Jake's eyes.He was a coward and a bully.
"I've had enough with you Jake.If you think this is how women likes to be treated then you're sadly wrong.I don't want to see you anymore.Let's leave it here like this, I don't want to see you again.Don't call me or try to see me.I'm done." Roxanne said solidly and walked away.She was a little afraid to have her back to him but he just stood there stunned and didn't move.A woman had never talked to him that way before and he didn't like it.Roxanne got in her car and drove away and didn't look back once.Her heart finally stopped pounding once she got home and she had locked her door.
