The next morning
Crystal layed in bed staring at the ceiling. She couldn't believe this was happening. She had
only slept with him twice...well maybe three times. How could this have happened to her?
She was smart and sensible. She was the one that everyone turned to when something like this
happened.
Crystal got up and went into the bathroom. She was tired of this morning sickness. She hadn't
even started the pregnacy yet. UGH. Why did she have to be terribly sick on the day that she
had to give a presentation to Vince.
Walking out of the bathroom, Crystal picked up the phone and dialed Vince's number. When he
picked up she told him that she wouldn't be in because she had a very important doctors appointment
she couldn't miss. And eventhough Vince wasn't very happy about letting her have the day off
he wished her well.
After hanging up with Vince Crystal called her doctor and made an appointment for that day. She
was lucky that there had been a cancelation at the last minute. She was really hoping that the
doctor would tell her that she was just sick and that she wasn't pregnant.
At the office
Shane started pacing in the conference room. Where could everyone be? I know that the meeting
wasn't canceled. Crystal would never call in sick. She was always here even when she was.
Shane looked up just as his dad walked in to the room. Oh boy, he's got that look on his face
again. Shane groaned when he saw that his dad didn't look to happy with him. Which in turn meant
another 45 minute lecture.
"Hey dad. Where is everyone?"
"Shane the meeting was canceled. Didn't you get the memo? No forget the memo. Do you know anything
about Crystal having a doctors appointment today?" Vince glared at him.
"No. And why would I know something like that?" Shane said wondering why Crystal hadn't told him.
"Well that's the reason there is no meeting, although it sounded to me like she had been crying.
What happened Shane? What aren't you telling me?"
Shane groaned. "Crystal was pissed at me because my pager kept going off. She's pissed because
she thinks that my work is more important than her. So, she stormed out the other day and I haven't
heard from her since."
"WHAT?! You're dating an employee????!!!! How many time's do I have to keep reminding you that
that is totally foolish. Now there's a chance that we may have lost one of our best employees because
you couldn't keep it in your pants. Shane I am so disappointed in you right now." Vince sighed and
shook his head. He would teach that boy one day.
At the doctors office
"Are you 100% sure these tests are reading things right? I mean there isn't a chance that it could
be wrong?" Crystal said in an utter panic. This so couldn't be happening right now. It just couldn't.
She started hyperventalting.
"Now Crystal you need to calm down. You could put the baby into shock if you start panicing. I'm taking
it that this wasn't a planned pregnancy."
"This can't be happening. And of course this isn't planned! I just got this job. I can't afford to
loose it now."
"Well for right now I have some pamphlet's on your options. I also have so information for in case
you do decide to go through with this pregnancy. I'll need to see you in a few weeks so on your way
out you need to make another appointment....Oh and congratulations." The doctor said smiling on
her way out.
Crystal got dressed and made her way out to the receptionist. She had a million things she had running
through her mind. What would she tell her parents? What would she tell her friends? And oh god how
was she going to tell Shane that she was pregnant?
