The Blue Line
Summer's hand shook as she placed the small white tube on the bathroom counter face down.
She closed her eyes and sank onto the floor, her breathing heavy. Glancing up at the clock, she waited, her body tensed up as the long hand moved.
"I can do this," she whispered to herself, trying to be reassured. The truth was, she was nervous as hell and on the verge of blacking out.
Summer stood up shakily and picked up the capsule, taking one last look at the clock. She closed her eyes, flipping it over in her hand.
"Okay, here goes," she whispered. Her eyes opened reluctantly and she stared in awe.
A thick blue line met her eyes.
It cut through her body like a razor. She was pregnant. She inhaled sharply and sank onto the floor, her back resting against the wall.
The pregnancy test was still clasped in her sweaty palm. Suddenly, she found her voice and began to laugh. She laughed loudly and rolled on the floor.
She was pregnant. She was pregnant.
Those words bounced in her head as she continued to laugh happily. As she straightened up, her hand rested on her stomach, Summer looked at it.
There was a baby in there.
"Hey," she whispered to her stomach, "Hey baby, I'm your Mom."
"Hey Summer, what have I done to deserve all this?" Seth set down his briefcase, surveying the feast that lay before him.
Summer darted around, setting the table hurriedly.
"Oh, I just thought it'd be nice to have a proper dinner tonight instead of pizza in front of the T.V." She walked over to Seth and kissed him, looking deeply into his chestnut eyes.
"Come on, the food's gonna go cold," she whispered in his ear, taking his hand.
"So, I, uh, have something to tell you," Summer said quietly, chasing the peas on her plate.
"Yeah? What is it?" Seth asked. Summer glared as he spoke with his mouth full.
"Sorry, it's just so good," he apologised.
"Well ever since we came back from our honeymoon, I've not been feeling so good."
"Yeah? Well are you okay? Have you been to the doctor?" Seth looked concerned.
"Well, I had an idea of what I thought was wrong so, I, well I checked it out myself."
"So are you okay now?"
"You could say that, but I'm, well, I'm pregnant Seth."
Seth's mouth fell open and he dropped his fork.
"Oh my god!" Summer smiled as Seth leapt out of his chair, a huge smile stretching across his face.
He pulled her up and hugged her tightly. Summer held on to his arm and her heart pounded. She was glad he was happy, so glad.
"I, I can't believe it! I'm gonna be a dad!" Seth grinned.
"Oh my god we have to phone my parents and Ryan and Marissa!" Seth bounded into the living room.
"Cohen! Wait, why don't we go over? Tell them in person?" Summer suggested.
"Good idea." Seth put the phone down and walked back into the dining room.
"So, you're happy about all this?" Summer asked him.
"Of course I am, this is the best thing that's happened yet, well apart from marrying you."
Summer smiled and kissed Seth softly, silently breathing a sigh of relief.
"Summer? Are you okay?" Seth nudged her softly as they sat in the waiting room of the doctors surgery.
"Yeah," she lied. She was so not okay. Her head was going a mile a minute.
"No." She leaned on Seth.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm scared Seth, I mean its such a big thing. I'm petrified, mainly of what I've gotta go through." Seth stroked her hand comfortingly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, I promise. I'll always be here, we're gonna do this together."
"But Coop said it was the most pain she'd ever experienced and remember how Maia was born prematurely? She almost died Seth. If our that happened to our baby, I don't think id be able to go on…"
She trailed off thinking of the scene that happened only 10 months ago.
Marissa had also fallen pregnant on her honeymoon and, months later, had given birth to a girl, Maia.
But she had arrived 2 months early and was instantly placed in the ICU.
Marissa had to go through a long labour and lost a lot of blood.
Just remembering Marissa in agony and the tiny little baby, all wired up to 50 machines made Summer feel utterly terrified.
Maia had survived and was now a lively and beautiful baby. But still…
"Summer Cohen?" the receptionist called. Summer took a deep breath and stood up, her hand still clasped by Seth.
"Everything will be fine," Seth repeated.
"I know."
