The next day, Elise had come over and we went out for lunch, a habit we'd made over the past few months. I told her about Biko but she didn't seem to be her old bubbly encouraging self. I was going to get mad at her but stopped and decided to find out why she was so spaced out.

"What's wrong?" I finally asked her.

"Huh? Oh, nothing," was her blank reply.

"Are you sure? I mean, yesterday my mom grew long ears and a bushy white tale."

"It'll be alright," Elise replied not even noticing what I had just said.

"Elise! Earth to Elise! I just told you my mom turned into a rabbit and you didn't even blink."

"Oh, sorry."

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

"Okay, don't totally kill me for this…Last night, I had a dream. You, me and someone else was in it."

"Who?" I asked casually interested.

"God."

"You saw God in your dream?"

"Not really. He was more of just a voice but He was still kind of there because He hugged you. Anyway, that's not the point…" she sighed shaking her head slightly. "I know it was just a dream but I have to ask you, have you taken a pregnancy test?"

"What? No! I'm not pregnant, Elise." I almost laughed. The thought of me be pregnant startled and even went as far as to amuse me.

"You don't know that! I mean, you said yourself you haven't been feeling well in the mornings," she faltered. "It could be morning sickness."

"I know I'm not pregnant. I've done it before and I haven't gotten pregnant," I said as if this was a reasonable answer.

"It's not just that, you could get a disease!"

"He was a virgin."

"He could still have had aids from birth or something... What if you are pregnant? What will you do then?"

"I'll just have an abortion," I said too quickly.

"That's murder."

I sighed and remembered that this was another reason I didn't like Christians before I became one. "For the nine months that it's in the womb it's not even called a baby. All it is a whole bunch of cells clumping together and multiplying. Almost like an extension to the woman's body for a brief period of time."

"Just because it's attached to the woman's body it doesn't mean it's not a human itself. God has a plan for everyone's life, even the unborn children."

"Whatever. I'm not pregnant," I said trying to brush off the subject, but deep, deep down I think I knew without a doubt that my life was about to change, forever.

"Please, just, let's go to the pharmacy and take the test. It could have been just a dream anyway," she said getting up with me.

"With God in it?" I whispered under my breath but she heard and took my hand.

Elise wanted me to call my mom and ask her to come with us but I rejected the idea. If I wasn't pregnant, I didn't want her knowing I had betrayed her trust, again.

We rushed in and out with the tests in three minutes flat. Then we headed in to the nearest restroom and I locked myself in the stall.

"And?" whispered Elise outside the stall after a few minutes. I unlocked the door and passed the five strips to her. I wanted to be sure it would work.

"You tell me, I can't look," I replied. It was ironic, but if I was harbouring another human being inside of me, I didn't want to be the first to know.

"Let me in," she said after a few seconds. I unlocked the door and gazed upon her tear stained face. "It's positive."

"No! Oh God, please no!" I yelled and then collapsed on the floor crying. "It was just a mistake! You were supposed to forgive me, not let me get pregnant!" Elise shrunk down beside me. This could not be happening. People like me did not just get pregnant. We stayed there for an hour, just crying. Then I turned to her and whispered, "What am I going to do?"

"I can't tell you what to do, but telling your mom might be a good start."
