Chapter 19

"Liv" Rachel knocked on her door.

"Go away!" Liv shouted back.

Rachel didn't back down and instead continued to walk in to the room.

"Leave me alone" Liv shouted at her.

Rachel sighed closing the door, refusing to respond and kneeled down at the side of her bed looking at her. Liv was sat on her bed her head balanced on her knees, her arms wrapped around the legs.

"I'm guessing it's yours?" Rachel asked calmly but she was stern. Rachel put the test on the side.

Liv looked away out her window refusing to engage with Rachel.

"Fine if you don't want to talk to me, I'll get Kim to speak to you tomorrow, you open up to her" Rachel said standing up.

"No!" Liv fought back quickly as she looked up at Rachel "not her"

"You've changed your tune" Rachel sighed standing arms folded "come on Liv, open up to me, why can't you?"

Liv sighed and looked down "because your lecture me, your ground me, I'm fed up of being judged by you"

"well a pregnancy test, negative or not is a pretty big deal Liv" Rachel sighed angrily.

Silence fell between them. Rachel took a deep breath and sat on the end of her bed, her legs crossed, looking at her.

"It's not the fact that you've taken a test, or that you could of being pregnant in the first place, it's the fact I asked you if you were okay this morning, you lied to me and couldn't speak to me. I'm your mother Liv, I am there for you, cut me some slack" Rachel said.

Liv looked out the window once more trying to ignore her gaze.

"What's happened between you and Kim?" Rachel asked changing the subject.

"You can't ask me that" Liv said going defensive.

"I can and I will, because number one she's my best friend, number two she's pastoral care at school and number three up until a few weeks ago you were both fine so what's happened?"

Liv sighed to herself and then finally looked at Rachel, her head now back on her knees.

"Tell me, come on I'm a big girl I can take it"

Liv sighed openly again "my boyfriend is dexter"

"Ah" Rachel nodded taking it in "she found out then?"

"Yeah, she caught me and him in the toilets"

"What?" Rachel frowned "actually I don't want to know…what made you think you were pregnant?"

"I'm late by about a week" Liv sighed giving in.

"It's not always pregnancy, plus with the amount of medication your on, your hormones can fluctuate, you told me were being safe, you promised me you would be"

"And we were, we just had a moment and we both forgot"

Rachel nodded knowing those moments well she smiled to herself "then maybe we should look at the pill, one that's compatable with your current tablets, just to put your mind at rest"

Liv sighed "fine, I'll agree to it"

"Liv I know you don't want to get pregnant, not yet anyway"

Liv nodded "I know, it's just another tablet"

Rachel nodded "I understand it I do, it's another thing to remember"

Liv nodded

"But it is what is best" Rachel said looking at her daughter

"What about you?" Liv managed to say

"What about me?" Rachel asked

"Is your surgery booked?" Liv asked

Rachel sighed and looked away, thinking about the surgery, how on earth did Liv find out. "How did you find out?"

"I found a letter in the bin mum, I wasn't snooping I just put something in the bin and saw it, mom this is serious"

"And it's none of your concern" Rachel said standing up off the bed going to exit.

"Yeah that's it, treat me as a child, you know you need this, stop brushing it under the carpet and do what's right" Liv snapped.

The words hit Rachel as she froze to the spot taking in the words her daughter just said. Taking her hand off the door handle she turned to face Liv, she was about to say something when Liv went to open her mouth.

"It's not about just you mum, I don't want to lose you, I want you to be better, don't you think I'm sick of hospitals and doctors? You need to have it done"

Rachel sighed admitting defeat. She made her way over and sat on her bed this time her feet remained in the floor as she sat sideways on.

"I know" Rachel barely said. "I'm scared Liv, looked what happened last time, I nearly died"

"We've all been there, I've got the scars to prove it too"

"Your so brave Liv, I honestly don't know how you do it"

"You face everyday as it comes, it maybe shit, but you make the most out of a shit situation"

"Language" Rachel said looking up at her.

Liv sighed "you've got a serious hernia, if you don't get it fixed, your going to end up seriously ill, your already in a lot of pain and your sick often"

"How do you know that?"

"You don't tell me anything, we used to talk all the time, we used to share the problems, you always said a problem shared is a problem halved, your hernia has been caused by the surgery you had a few years ago, it's only going to get worse"

Rachel admitted defeat, for once her daughter was right.

"Phone them first thing tomorrow and tell your consultant you want the surgery and you want it quickly"

Rachel nodded "I will, I promise" Rachel looked up at her and smiled weakly.

Liv crawled forward on her bed and wrapped her arms around her mum leaning her head on her shoulder. Rachel smiled and managed put her hand on top of liv's. They stayed like that for good five minutes enjoying each other's company and the side hug.

"You know ive missed this" Rachel breathed out.

"I know you have, and maybe we both need to do it more often"

Rachel agreed "your still my baby Liv, you will always be my number one, we're a big family now and soon your be flying the nest like Michael and that day will break me, you realise this?"

Liv smiled "I know"
