Chapter 2
We're at the drugstore standing in front of the shelf with pregnancy tests. I've been staring at it for the past five minutes, unable to reach out and grab one.
"Are you sure you wanna do this, Ab? It can be just the flu, ya know. Maybe we're just overreacting." Susan says. No, something tells me it's not the flu.
"Yes, I have to know." I take a deep breath and grab a test.
We pay for it and head home. We go silently the whole way. When we finally get to my apartment I go straight to the bathroom. I just want to get this over with, so after I take it I set the kitchen alarm. In three minutes I'll find out. I go back to my bedroom where Susan is waiting for me.
"So?" she asks eagerly.
"In three minutes we'll know." I say sitting on my bed to wait. And wait. And wait. God! These are the longest three minutes of my life! At long last, the alarm goes off. I run to the bathroom to find two clear blue lines. Oh, my God! What am I gonna do?
I go back to my room where Susan looks at me excited. "I'm pregnant." I say. Not being able to hold the tears anymore, I break down and cry.
After sobbing uncontrollably for half an hour, I finally start to calm down. Susan is rubbing my back trying to sooth me. God, why? That's the only thing that goes through my head right now. Why when things couldn't be worse?
"What am I gonna do now?" I say more to myself than to Susan.
"Abby, look at me." Susan says. I look up at her brushing off my tears with the back of my hand. "You're gonna be a mom. I know the timing couldn't be worse!" she says when I open my mouth to protest. "But you're going to bring a little child into this big world! I know I probably sound crazy, but believe me, once you hold your baby in your arms, you'll know it was the best thing that's ever happened to you." She smiles at me. I know she's right but it's scary to think that I'll be responsible for a child's life. My child. Holy shit! There's a little person inside of me. A new life. Wow! I smile at this thought.
"I know... You're right." I say after a while. "Besides, I couldn't go through this pain again." Susan looks at me confused. "I got pregnant a few years ago when I was still married to Richard. I couldn't have that baby. Not then. It wouldn't be fair to that child. I was in a horrible marriage, I was unhappy. So I had an abortion. I wonder every day what that baby would be like. But in a way, it's better I didn't have it because I wouldn't be a good mother then."
"But you will be a good mother now, Ab." I smile sadly at her. I hope she's right.
"I mean, there are a million reasons why I shouldn't go through with this pregnancy. What if I pass on the disease to the baby?"
"You'll deal with it just fine."
"What about Carter? What am I supposed to tell him? 'Hey, John, I know we've just broken up but guess what? I'm pregnant with your child!" Susan grins at me.
"Seems like you have everything sorted out." She says smirking at me.
"Susan!" I glare at her. "This is serious!"
"Sorry, Ab, but seriously, Carter will be thrilled. You'll see." God, I really hope she's right. I smile at her.
"I'm hungry."
"Do you think we can eat that Chinese food now?"
"Absolutely! I'm eating for two remember?" I say smiling. She laughs. You know what? I'm happy. Surprisingly happy. I'm going to be a mom. I'll have a little family, even if it's not a perfect one. But still, it's someone that I'll love with all my heart. I love it already, and honestly, it feels so damn good!
