Today was Emma's first day back to school since she got the life changing news. She walked through the halls to her locker all the way she was convinced people were looming at her as if somehow they all knew. She knew this was impossible, the only people who knew were Manny, Paige, and her parents and they wouldn't tell, right? She also knew that realistically she wasn't showing yet, but the thought also made her paranoid, she continued looking down at her midsection. Was she any bigger then usual or just imagining it?

Finally she made it to her locker. As she stood there sorting everything Manny ran up to her pulling her into a hug.

"Okay so tell me what happened when they both found out."

"She was pretty cool about it, not happy but like she said not one to judge in this situation."

"And your dad...?"

"At first Snake wasn't happy, I was down in my room when she told him. I couldn't make out what he said but he sounded angry until she told him the full story."

"So now that they know how much longer are we keeping it a secret?"

"As long as possible. I already feel like a freak and no one is staring yet. Imagine what will happen once word does get out."

"Oh, Emma..."

The girls pulled each other in for a hug as Emma's phone buzzed with notifications. She opened it seeing many of the alerts were pictures of maternity outfits. Not only were the outfits nice but they seemed to match Emma's style.

Paige: just some outfits I found thought would look cute on you when you're ready for them

Emma: I love them, you're definitely coming shopping with me when I get there

First period as usual was with Mr. Simpson. His class seemed less lively than usual, like he lacked his usual energy. Luckily the next few teachers wouldn't be so bad. Finally she made it to lunch which marked the halfway point of the day. Her stomach was still annoying her so she figured just skipping food was her best option. Manny called her down to the spirit squad table where her and Paige and sone of the other members sat.

"Emma you're not eating again? Is everything okay?" Darcy asked concern.

"Yeah just not over whatever yesterday was I guess." She spent the rest of lunch listening in on whatever the other squad members were talking about feeling ignored until she got a text.

Paige: if ur really not feeling well I got some antacids, I did the research ther pregnancy safe and can help your daily calcium!

Emma: appreciate it but really just not hungry

While she was annoyed Manny was ignoring her to discuss spirit squad she felt some joy someone was looking out. After lunch ended she and Paige made their way to the counselors office. She knew the big point of conversation was obviously going to be the incident that happened over a month ago but the last few days could probably been a whole session alone.

"Nervous?"

"A little...yeah."

"So was I my first time...that was probably wrong way to phrase it given the situation but it gets easier."

The girls entered the office, sat down and they began their conversation.

Author note: Ok so because I'm bad at writing therapy sessions the next chapter will skip ahead few weeks. Also want to thank everyone for the kind reviews and input, so while I do have plans how this could go I'm always interested to hear what ideas others might have.
