Chapter 14-

It's been two days since I saw the two lines on the stick. I read online that home tests aren't always so accurate, so I decided to get the results confirmed. I googled the nearest women's care center and luckily for me I found one just two blocks away. I Could've easily gone to the one here on campus, but I didn't want anyone knowing, especially Alex.

I sat in the waiting room of the clinic waiting to be called back. I've been waiting for the last thirty minutes and by the that time, I started to get impatient. I was about to head up to the desk to see what was taking so long before I finally heard my name.

"Arizona Robbins?" I hear the nurse call. It's about time

"Right here," I say, jumping up from my seat.

"Right this way," the nurse says. I follow her to the back and was led into one of the patient rooms. "Please put this gown on and have a seat up on the table. Dr. Stevens will be in with you shortly,"

"Thank you," I reply, then do what I was told. After fidgeting with my gown, the last minutes, I climbed up onto the patient table and waited for the Dr. to come in. Ten minutes pass before I finally hear a knock on the door, then a blonde Dr. walk in, with a chart in her hand.

"Arizona Robbins?"

"Yeah, that's me," I respond, giving her a polite smile.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Stevens. How are you doing today?"

"I'm doing okay," I say to her. I'm nervous as hell was what I really wanted to say.

"So, it says here that you might be pregnant?"

"Yeah, I took a test two days ago and it came back positive and I read online that sometimes tests can give out a false positive, so here I am,"

"Okay. I understand. You wanted to get a second opinion,"

"That's correct," I tell her.

"Okay, well what I can do is order a blood test for you, sound okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine,"

"Perfect. Before we do that, I'd like to get some information from you, if that's okay,"

"Sure," I say shortly.

"Great, so, my first question is, when was your last period?"

"December 17th,"

"And are you sexually active?"

"Definitely not," I say quickly.

"Okay, one last question, when was the last time you had sexual intercourse?"

"New Year's Eve," I tell her. She nods her head and scribbles down information that I gave her in the chart.

"Alright, thank you Arizona. I will get have one of my nurses come in, draw some blood that way we can get the results for you so you can be on your way,"

"Thank you,"

"No problem. Just sit tight," Just like that, she leaves the room. It doesn't take more than five minutes before another knock on the door is heard and the nurse.

"We will get this to the lab as soon as possible," the nurse says, standing up from her stool.

"Thanks," I say quietly. She gives me a nod, then leaves the room. I let out a long sigh as I wait for my results to come back.

Another twenty minutes pass and Dr. Stevens finally comes back in.

"Okay, so I got your results back," Dr. Stevens says.

"And?"

"Congratulations. You are definitely pregnant,"

"Oh my god," I say, inhaling sharply. I cover my face with my hands and sob.

"I'm guessing by that reaction, this wasn't planned," Dr. Stevens says, handing me a tissue to wipe my eyes.

"You would be correct," I tell her.

"Do you want to talk about options?" Dr. Stevens asks.

"No," I say, shaking my head. She lays her hand on my knee.

"Look, Arizona, I know this is a lot to take in, but they do have support groups for teen moms,"

"No, it's okay. I'll be fine,"

"Okay, well, how about we do an ultrasound, just to get an idea on how far along you are,"

"Yeah sure," I respond.

"Go ahead and get dressed, then meet me out in the hall," she says to me, then leaves the room. I get dressed quickly as possible and met with Dr. Stevens just like she asked.

After leaving the clinic, I sent a quick text to Alex letting him know I wasn't going to be in class today and asked if he would be able to take notes on whatever we review today since all we have been doing the last couple days was reviewing for midterms, so it's not like I'm missing much today.

After returning to my dorm, I laid on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I'm going to be a mother.

"How did could I let this happen?" I ask myself as a tear started to fall, "it wasn't supposed to happen this way," I rolled over on my side and cried myself to sleep.

One week later (7/8 Weeks)-

Just as I was packing up my stuff once class let out, I heard my professor call my name.

"Ms. Robbins, can I see you for a minute please?" We just took our midterms Monday, so he probably just wanted to tell me how well I did.

"I'll wait for you outside, Z," Alex says to me. He grabs his stuff and leaves the room as I made my way down to his desk.

"Yes, Sir?"

"Is everything ok?"

Am I ok? Why wouldn't I be?

"Of Course, Sir, why do you ask?" He holds up my test from Monday.

"Well, this here is your exam from Monday," he says, handing me the exam, "You failed, Ms. Robbins." Crap!

"Oh...well...I have some personal things going on right now," I tell him.

"We all have problems, Ms. Robbins. But it seems as though yours is affecting your work in my class," he says.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll do better," I tell him.

"You better, there's five weeks left of the semester and right now, you are failing this class. As of right now, you need to pass every single assignment and at least an A on the final, if that. If you don't pass my class, you will have to take my course again and that will only put you behind,"

"I understand, Sir. And again, I promise I will do better,"

"Alright, well here is the study guide with all the materials that will be on the final. It's everything that we had covered these last seven weeks, and what we will be covering throughout the next four weeks. I suggest you get to studying,"

"Thank you, sir," I say to him, then leave the room.

"So, what did he say?" Alex asks once he spots me in the hall.

"He just wanted to let me know what a shitty job I've been doing in his class,"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm failing his class, Alex,"

"What happened to you, Z. It's like you did a complete 180. First, you were on top of things and now, it's like you don't even care,"

"I do care," I tell him, "I just have so much going on right now and it's taking my focus completely away from what I should be doing,"

"What are you going to do?" That's a great question. What am I going to do?

"Well, I'm going back to my dorm and I'm going to study before I go into work tonight,"

"Okay, well I let you get to it. Good luck," he says, then walks away.

Back at my dorm, sitting at my desk, I go over the study guide that was given to me. But I just couldn't focus. All I could think about for the past week was my baby and how I'm going to manage my classes and raise a kid. Letting out a loud sigh, I decided to put the packet away. I picked up my phone to call my guidance counselor.
