Chapter 6

Courtney awoke thinking about everything that had happened the day before. Courtney knew that she should get Madison and then tell Jason about her. Courtney wasn't so sure about telling Jason just yet that she was pregnant. Courtney walked up to the full length mirror in the guest bedroom. She just couldn't imagine herself "with child" as they called it in old movies. Courtney got herself ready and went to see if Carly and Michael were up yet. They weren't up yet, so Courtney made herself breakfast and left the house to go to General Hospital to see Dr. Meadows. Courtney walked to General Hospital to clear her mind of everything. She stopped by at the park and sat down on the bench. She looked at the swing set and thought of Madison. She thought to herself, "I'm such a horrible mother to her. I have to get her. I hope Jason will understand." She just thought of the little soul inside of her, growing. Their baby. Courtney arrived at General Hospital. She saw her father and slipped by without him seeing her. She entered Dr. Meadow's office. "Dr. Meadows?" asked Courtney. "Are you Courtney Matthews?" said Dr. Meadows. Courtney said, "Yes. I have an appointment with you. I think that I might be pregnant, but I'm not sure. This is my second baby. I got pregnant when I was 17. I thought you would like to know." "Thank you for telling me Courtney. I'll write that in your new file. Come with me and we will check to see if your pregnant and how far along you are." said Dr. Meadows. Courtney sat anxiously in Dr. Meadow's office, waiting for the test results. Dr. Meadows came in. "Courtney, you're pregnant for sure. Your about 3 months along. Here's a pregnancy guide. If you have any problems call me." Courtney walked out with guides and things all in her hands. As she was walking out, she ran into her father. "Hi, Courtney. Are you okay? Oh, here you dropped this." said Mike. Courtney said, "Thanks Dad, but really I'm fine." Mike said, "Honey I have a question to ask you. Are you pregnant?"
