Chapter 2 (Mia's journal)
November 28th
I'm still sick. I can't believe this. I am going to have to go to the doctor's again. Why? Why me? Why can't I live a normal life without throwing up every single damn morning/afternoon? It's driving me insane! I can't believe this. I've never been sick this long before. I'm kind of worried I might be pregnant. With Michael's baby! I know, I should be happy because Michael and I will HAVE to be a couple when we grow up, and he won't have to leave me! Well, I guess if I look at it this way, pregnancy won't be so bad. But still-how will I go to school? And what on earth will my mom and dad say?
And all my friends, and Michael?
Okay, maybe I should just calm down. I'm not even sure if I really AM pregnant. I don't know what to do, should I keep it or give it up for adoption, or let mom look after it?
Calm down, Mia! Okay. I am trying really hard, you know? But it's just not doing much. I can't believe this. I really cannot believe this. I am only 17!
I can't write anymore. Too upset. Talk to you later.
November 30th-home again
Okay. Since I'm home from school, maybe I should write a little bit about how I'm feeling.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
If Michael and I ARE going to have a baby, it will be the new prince/princess of Genovia, and it will be OUT OF WEDLOCK! Imagine what Grandmere would say?
Oh my god, I haven't even thought of HER!
Holy crap, I CAN'T have a baby out of wedlock! Grandmere will be EXTREMELY pissed. She'll probably treat me like a totally different person. I can't believe what an idiot I am.
Oh, wait. If I DO have a baby, Michael will HAVE to be my husband, and the new Prince (of the second generation). Prince Michael Moscovitz Renaldo of Genovia. Doesn't that look so regal? I love Michael, and I'm sure he'd love to be my husband, because he already sort of is-I mean, we've been together for almost two years now.
Imagine what life would be like, living with Michael, and waking up every morning to see his gorgeous face. Wouldn't you like that? I sure would. So, what is so bad about being pregnant when you're in my situation?
Oh my god, what am I DOING? This is absolutely horrible! I am going to be so dead.
It will be in every single newspaper, EVERYONE will know about it!
I'll probably be called a slut, too. By the popular girls. Oh, shit!
December 6th
That's it! I'm over my sickness, thank god!
I've been looking at my belly every once in a while, and I notice a small-ish lump. I'm not sure if that's a pregnant belly or a weight-gaining belly. I hope it's the weight-gaining belly.
I told Michael that I think I might be pregnant, and he said I should take one of those tests. I'll do that tomorrow.
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS
December 8th
I AM pregnant. It was positive. SHIT! I was so upset, that Michael had to hold me for about an hour just to help me feel better. He said he'd marry me because he loves me, and he wants to help me with the baby, and he said he doesn't mind being the new prince of Genovia (and some day king). Well, who wouldn't? But I was so grateful to him that I just wanted to kiss him for ages, but I couldn't so I just kissed him a few times and told him how much I loved him and that I was so, so grateful.
"Mia," he said, "I'm happy for us. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm happy."
"You are?" I said, "I'm devastated! What will Grandmere say?"
"Calm down, angel," he said, holding me and stroking my hair.
"But it's out of wedlock!" I moaned. "Just imagine what she'll do to me! No, I don't want to imagine it!"
Michael kissed me gently and said, "it won't be out of wedlock."
"What?" I said, "of course it is!"
Michael shook his head. "Not if I marry you it isn't."
I stared up at him. I could NOT believe it! Was he going to ask me to marry him?
But I'm only 17! "Are you….." I began, but for some reason I was too afraid to ask.
Michael kissed me again, touching his tongue against mine. "Not today," he answered.
"Maybe another day." Oh. That was kind of disappointing. He moved a hand from my shoulder onto my belly, and I put my hand on top of his. Hopefully we'll become a family.
I am not going to tell Grandmere for a long time. Or my parents. Grandmere will just have to find out for herself!
December 14th
Hey, sorry for not writing! But you will NEVER guess what happened today at school!
I entered my name in a contest to win a 10 month trip to Europe along with a lot of other students, and MY NAME WAS DRAWN!
Here's the full list:
Mia Thermopolis
Lilly Moscovitz (YES!)
Shameeka Taylor
Tina Hakim Baba
Josh Ritcher
Lana Weinberger (oh, great)
Zara Welton
Justin Baxendale (what the hell?)
Boris Pelkowski
Amber Smith
Daniel Hill
James Chang
Maria Lee
Kenny Showalter (oh, no)
Xia Li Zhang
Michael Jensen
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WON! I GET TO GO TO EUROPE WITH MY THREE GOOD FRIENDS!
The only bad thing is, Michael wasn't chosen. TEN MONTHS without Michael? And during my pregnancy? What if my parents won't let me go?
After school, Lilly, Shameeka, Tina, and I went over to Tina's house to celebrate. We had the BEST time! We danced to music, ate junk food (I had to be careful because of the baby) and watched some movies. I AM SOO HAPPY!
December 16th
I told my mom about winning a free ten month trip to Europe with 15 other students in my grade. "That's wonderful, honey! I'm so proud of you!" She said.
"So, can I go?" I asked.
"Of course!" She answered. "You have to ask your father and your grandmother too, though."
"I know," I said. "But thank you so much!"
"Will Michael be coming with you?" Mom asked.
"No," I answered sadly, "he didn't get chosen, since he's not in my grade."
Suddenly the phone rang, and my mom answered it. "Helen Thermopolis speaking," she said. "Oh…sure. Here she is." She handed me the phone.
"Mia? It's Michael."
"Hey Michael!" I said. "You won't BELIEVE what just happened to-"
"You won," he said, "I know."
"What's wrong, babe?" I asked. "Are you gonna miss me?"
I went upstairs with the phone to my room, and closed the door.
"You could say that," he said.
"Aww, I'm sorry, baby," I told him, "I know you're going to miss me."
"What about the baby?"
"My friends will watch out for me. And don't you think it's a good idea? My family won't find out until I come back home. Then there's no choice."
"Yeah, I know. It's just.. I won't be there for the birth."
"Honey, don't worry. I'll tell you all about it."
"And I won't be there during the growing, either."
"Baby, you know we can have another one after we're married. When I'm older."
"Okay, I guess that's fair enough. I love you."
"I love you too."
"I'm really happy for you, of course. Are you free on Friday?"
"I think so. Want to go out?"
"That's what I was going to ask you. To celebrate your success."
"Aww, that's so sweet."
We decided to go out for Chinese since we both love Asian food. I can't wait!
December 18th
The date was so much fun! Michael and I ate a lot, and then we made out at the beach after that. My romantic life is awesome!
The only problem was, I had forgotten about today's princess lessons. Grandmere was waiting downstairs as I came down for the day, and she told me we had to go straight to her mansion. I was surprised. But then I realized that I DO have princess lessons on Saturdays. DAMN!
We spent the whole time practicing my ordering food and beverages in 7 languages thing. At the end of the lesson, I told Grandmere that my name had been chosen along with 15 other students in my grade to go on a ten month trip to Europe.
Well, she exploded.
"TEN MONTHS?"
"Yes, Grandmere! I think this is a really, really good opportunity for me! We're going to go everywhere! Please?"
"TEN MONTHS WITHOUT YOUR LESSONS?"
"Come ON, Grandmere, it's not going to kill us! And wouldn't it be good for the princess of Genovia to see the rest of Europe? It would be a good learning experience!"
"NO. I will NOT let Genovia down by letting their PRINCESS skip TEN MONTHS OF LESSONS for a TRIP!"
"Grandmere, it's not just a trip! It's a LEARNING EXPERIENCE." I think.
"Don't you shout at me!" She snapped, even though I hadn't shouted at her. I just said the words more loudly so she could understand them.
She was fuming. It wasn't a big deal! I'm sure my dad would let me go.
"PLEASE Grandmere? I won't ask you for anything less important than this!"
"Are you saying that your princess duties are less important? If this is the reason, then I am NOT allowing you to go!" She snapped. Boy, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
"It's not, Grandmere, I swear on a bible it's not!"
"Don't you use that language! It's inappropriate!"
"No, it isn't. I swear it isn't!"
"I don't know, Mia. It'll take a few days to decide."
"Grandmere, it's a FREE trip! We don't have to pay anything for it!"
Grandmere's face lightened up a little.
"Well, I suppose I shall think about it," she said. "I'll let you know in two days."
Two days! Geez.
I just hope she'll let me go!
AN: please review! And tell me if you like it! Thanks
