Yusef-mumtaz, I know that Paige let Jessica off to easily, but there
is a reason for that. and, you all will have a surprise coming up in this
chapter.
Jessica sighed and slid down further in her seat at the health department, embarrassed to be there. When the nurse called her back, they did a pap smear (gross) and a blood test, to see if she had any STD's. "I've already been tested," she said.
"This is just a precaution, Jessica," the nurse said.
Jessica sighed again. "Why are you making me do this? It's embarrassing," Jessica emphasized the word embarrassing.
"It's for your own good. If you think this is hard, you should have seen what Spinner would have done if he had caught you. I would have hated to see that," Paige shivered, imagining it.
"Spinner? Is that my dad?"
"Yes," Paige nodded.
The nurse walked in and sat down in front of the two girls. "Jessica, would you like me to say this in front of your mom?"
Jessica's heart started pounding. She nodded silently.
"We found some abnormalities in your blood work," the nurse said.
"Am I pregnant?" Jessica asked, terrified.
"No."
Jessica sighed a sigh of relief.
"You have gonorrhea," the nurse said gently.
Spinner had returned to his New York home. He had gotten the call from Paige that said that their daughter would be coming to live with her. He knew he should go see her, but he didn't really want to. He had never wanted kids anyway. Vanessa wasn't his; he had known that from the beginning. But Brock had been a mistake. He had tried to get Emma to get an abortion, but she refused. That's when he gave up on his marriage and started having an affair. He buried himself in his work, to have an excuse to be distant from the three of them. And Sylvia was awesome. She was hot, and passionate, like fire. Emma had never been that good in bed. But the fun decreased when Sylvia had gotten pregnant. He talked her into aborting the baby, but things hadn't been the same since. He knew it was time to choose someone. But the only one he wanted was the one he couldn't have. Paige.
"Gonorrhea?" Jessica asked desperately, "Please tell me that's a type of head cold."
"I'm afraid not. It's an STD. it's treatable," she said.
"I can't have an STD, I was tested right before my parents died and I haven't..." Jessica's words died on her lips. "Andrew," she whispered. He did this to her.
Tears fell down Jessica's cheeks as the nurse gave her the treatment and her first birth control shot. She wiped them away with a nervous hand.
Out in the car, Paige said, "Are you okay, Jess?"
Jessica nodded silently. "I can't believe he would do this to me."
"Maybe he didn't know," Paige offered.
Jessica looked at Paige. "You won't tell anyone about this, will you?"
Paige shook her head. "Of course not, it's just between us."
"Thank you."
"But promise me something, Jessica. Promise me you will quit being reckless. Do you see what I mean about it being dangerous? You're lucky you didn't get AIDS."
"I promise."
Jessica sighed and slid down further in her seat at the health department, embarrassed to be there. When the nurse called her back, they did a pap smear (gross) and a blood test, to see if she had any STD's. "I've already been tested," she said.
