Chapter Seven


The nurse walked in with a pregnancy test when Scott was still looking at the door. When she walked in Scott finally understood. He thought he was going to faint. He halfway did faint to. He fell to the ground. He got up nodded to Lauren and then he walked out of the room into the hallway. There was a bench so he sat down. He didn't really want to watch what was going to happen.

''Whose baby is it? It's not mine I'm pretty sure. Well I'm positive it's not mine. Could it be Matt's? Is it Marc's? Who else has she gone out with? Will she leave me and marry the dad of her baby? Wait. I'm jumping to conclusions. She might not even have a baby. She might just be really sick. But would that be any better?' Scott thought.

Scott just sat on the bench for about the next 20 minutes. Lauren and Emma must be talking about something because he didn't think that the test's lasted that long. His mind was so loud. He couldn't make his thoughts shut up! He just kept thinking if Lauren was pregnant then what? He closed his eyes to try to block out some sound but it didn't work.

Lauren was getting extremely nervous. She was pretty sure she knew she was pregnant. A few weeks back her and Marc went out to a bar and obviously had too much to drink. Her heart started to beat faster.

'What am I going to do!' Lauren thought to herself. 'Maybe Scott will help.. hmm maybe not'

The nurse took the test and a few minutes later she said.

"Lauren, you're pregnant"

Lauren's eyes grew wide. She knew she was pregnant. But hearing someone say it freaked her out even more.

"o-ok" she managed.

The nurse left and a few minutes later Scott came in. He looked shocked and his face was a bit pale.

"So... umm..." Scott said.

"Yeah..." Lauren said.

They sat together in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. Neither of them knew what to say. Neither of them wanted to speak. They both were stunned with shock.

"I-I think its Marc's" Lauren said quietly and weakly.

"Oh, ok" Scott said quietly as well.

"So um, do you want to go back home?" Scott asked a few minutes later.

After a few minutes Lauren came out of her daze.

"Huh? Oh, ya ok" she said.

"Can you walk? Or do you need me to carry you? I don't mind either way" Scott said.

"Um I think if I try I might not be able to" she replied.

"Ok" he said.

Scott picked Lauren up and brought her out to his truck and put her in. She seemed pretty shocked and distracted so he put on her seatbelt for her. Along the way home Lauren fell asleep on Scott's shoulder.

When they got to Lauren's house, Scott carried Lauren into her house and up to her bed. He put the covers over her and went to get a glass of water and the garbage bucket just incase. Scott, again, decided it was best not to leave Lauren alone so he found a chair. He went to get a pillow and a blanket from her closet and set up the chair.

At 5:30 the next morning Lauren awoke to see Scott on the chair asleep. Suddenly it all came back to her. The going to the hospital, finding out she was pregnant.

'Ugh...' she thought.

She decided to get a shower hoping it would make her feel better. She attempted to get out of bed but when she tried to get up, her legs gave out. She fell down back on her bed. She couldn't take a shower if she couldn't stand up.
