I'm scared shitless. I haven't been this scared since there were complications with Christi's birth. Lauren thinks she's pregnant. We were at the hospital today so she could be tested; they told us they'd phone with the results as soon as they got them in. I'm on pins and needles.
Christi POV
I've decided that I need to confiscate my dads' ancient video camera, I'm sure he even had it in the 80's (A/N: it's the same one that was in the movie, lol). I think I'm going to go confront him now.
"Dad can I talk to you," I ask him.
"What? Don't tell me you've decided not to date again until your 30?" He said hopefully.
"No, I want you to stop taping me," I told him.
"Why, I'm recording your life here," I was told.
"You've gone too far! Hell, you even made a video about my first goddamn period!" I yelled.
"You did what," my mom asked stepping out of her room giving my dad a bad look.
"It was nothing really," He said.
"WHAT DID YOU DO ROBERT MARCUS COHEN?" my mom bellowed.
"That's your name?" I snorted, "He made a documentary about my first period."
"Can I see this film?" She asked.
"I guess, just don't do anything harsh," He said not quite sure.
My mom than proceeded to grab the tape wheel, put it under her foot and dig her heel into it.
"See not harsh," she said smirking.
"That, that was my masterpiece!" He yelped.
"I thought Today 4 U: Proof positive, was," I chirped in.
Lauren POV
Ok so I know that was very harsh but what kind of person makes a video out of that? Why can't Mark stop whining? All he does is whine, complain and than whine even more and his voice is now getting annoying. I'm probably just cranky because of how early the tests were this morning. I don't know if I could do all this again, Christi was a surprise but I was young than! I'm 35 now, that's too old to have a baby and raise one, when it'd be 45 I'd be…wait never mind don't even want to think about that. Oh god, why does it take so long to get results. Wait I should try a home pregnancy test, than I'd at least have a bit of an idea. I'll just leave now say I have to get something.
Mark POV
Oh god, I made her angry! Everyone knows you're not supposed to make pregnant women angry. Well than again she might not be pregnant, how could she we haven't in…oh wait, after the fighting on Christmas eve but we had to have used…wait we didn't have any and figured it'd be ok. Damn, we must've been so drunk and now, now we might be having a baby.
"Dad, earth to dad," Christi yelled while snapping her fingers in front of my face, "what's up? Want to talk about it?"
Since when did she become the voice of reason?
"I shouldn't worry you with it, really it's nothing," I told her.
"Dad, obviously something's bothering you. Might as well tell me or I'll just ask mom," Christi told me.
"Shouldn't you be doing something like homework or hanging out with Brad," I ask her.
"Fine, I get it. You don't want to talk; I'll just go see Brad. Might be home late, don't wait up," I was told.
Wait, since when does she make the rules, she does have a curfew.
Christi POV
I love telling my dad off, especially since he's such a pushover. I just walk up and knock at Brad's door.
"Brad! Open this door, it's me here," I yelled at the solid metal door.
"Oh, hey Chris," He told me.
He's the only person who is ever allowed to call me that.
"My dad said I had to get out so here I am," I say with a flourish.
"Cool, let's go out my dad's driving me nuts. Wait I'll send him up to your dad! I'll be right back," and with that he disappeared back inside. "Ok, I'm good of a couple of hours now."
We head out towards the life to get some dinner.
"You look cold," Brad told me, "Here, have my coat."
"Thanks," I reply as he put his coat on me.
Mark POV
"Hey Rog," I say as Roger walks in more disheveled than usual.
"Brad sent me here. Apparently I need to get out more," Roger said as he burst into a horrible cough.
"You don't look so great. Maybe you should go to the hospital?" I said cautiously.
I could see the terror spring up in his eyes as I mentioned the unmentionable. I know he's had issues with them since April killed herself, than being there watching Angel die…than Collins…than Mimi. She was the hardest they were so much in love and it tore me apart to see him hurting and me not being able to do anything. He still hasn't recovered which is affecting Brad.
"No, if I'm going, I'm going at home," Roger said stubbornly.
"Where's Brad going to go?" I ask.
"He turns 16 in a couple of weeks so than he doesn't need a guardian. If you could just watch over him," Roger asked me.
"Sure, anything," I tell him.
Lauren POV
Oh god only 3 minutes now. I'm in the bathroom at this hell like drug store taking a pregnancy test. I don't think I even want to know now. What if I am but something goes wrong and I'm stuck on bed rest. Or what if Christi feels like she's getting ignored and runs away. Nothing good can come from this. I'm not ready now or I was years ago but I'm too old now. Only a minute left. The box says if it's blue I'm pregnant if it's pink I'm not. Only a couple more seconds now…according to this I am pregnant.
