Ok, that's two chapters posted in one day. : )

Ashley's Apartment

Ashley woke up the next morning to run to the bathroom. When she had finished throwing up once more, there was only one hour left before her doctor's appointment. She had hurry and get ready. She didn't even bother calling her job.

When Ashley was about ready to leave the phone rang, but she ignored it while grabbing her keys and racing out the door.

The Mall

"She is late, and is not answering her phone," Ashley's boss grawled out loud.

"Maybe she doesn't feel well again today," Caroline said in Ashley's defence.

"Well it doesn't matter, I was going to fire her anyways," he admitted.

"What," Caroline exclaimed, shocked.

"We have enough help and she has been slacking this past month," he replied. "She's a good kid, I'm sure she'll find another job." And with that he left a very shocked and upset Caroline.

Doctor's Office

"Ashley Hammond, the doctor will see you now," a nurse said.

A few moments later, Ashley was sitting on a patient bed waiting for the results of her blood test to come back.

Doctor Banks came back in about ten minutes later as she studied Ashley's results.

"Well Ashley, any missed periods," she asked her.

This question took Ashley by surprise. "Well yes, but I've been really depressed and stressed out lately so I figured that was the reason," she answered.

"Because your pregnant," she told her.

Ashley was shocked. She totally did not expect this. The doctor gave her a card and told her to come back if she needs a permanent doctor.

Ashley's Apartment

Ashley was still speechless as she got home. She couldn't help but wonder why Andros hadn't asked her to come with him. She would have gone with him, maybe. She didn't know, but it really didn't matter now.

'What am I going to do,' she thought to herself, just as the phone rang.

"Hello," she said after picking it up.

"Hello Ashley," he greated back. It was her boss.

"O hi, I'm sorry about today, I…," she started until he cut her off.

"Look Ashley, I don't think this is going to work; I'm sorry, I hate to do this, but your fired," he told her right before hanging up.

Ashley didn't know how to feel about this. There was anger, sadness, fear, and a bit of relief. She didn't like working there all that much, but she had to. And now she didn't know what to do.

Well how was this one?
