Skye's day off had been wonderful and she felt fully rested and ready to take on the day, but her stomach was again protesting. For the last week she'd been getting sick on and off and as soon as she thought it was going away, it would come right back again. She just thought that she was stressed out about Lucas being alright or the Commander finding out about them. But that morning when she woke up she had to make a break for the bathroom so she could cast all her dinner up and into the toilet.
She wiped her mouth with a towel and started to get ready for work. She'd invited Maddy Shannon over for breakfast because Skye didn't need to go in for her shift until eleven and Maddy had been insisting that Bride and Maid of Honor have more bonding time.
Just as Skye had scraped her curly hair back into a ponytail, there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" She called down the hall.
"Good morning! I brought some delicious breakfast!" Maddy called from the door as she came in.
Skye came out of her room as she tightened her ponytail and came to meet up with Maddy in the kitchen. "What'd you get?" She slumped down into one of the cushioned chairs as Maddy dropped the bag on the counter.
"I have just a variety of fruits from the market. I thought we'd mix it up today." She dumped out the fruits for Skye to see. "But save that green one right there. I want to take that one to the class I'm helping out with today."
Maddy had been volunteering to help teach at the school recently. She wanted to spend time with her sister because she'd be moving out in a few months.
Skye nodded and reached for the fruit closest to her. She plucked the leaves off of it before asking Maddy to pass her a knife to peel it. As she peeled she listened to Maddy begin to chatter about the wedding.
"Okay so Mark and I were talking about this last night and we agreed that it'd be pretty if we did like an orange and carribean blue color theme. What do you think?" Maddy had buzzed through a few topics of the wedding already and Skye just nodded when it seemed right. And once again, Skye nodded.
"Come on! Give me more insight than just a nod!" Maddy prodded her.
"I think that a white dress would be beautiful on you and maybe with like a carribean blue sash? Honestly Maddy, I don't know." Skye provided her 'insight.'
Maddy's face lit up. "That sounds perfect! And then I could wear my hair down like I wanted to!"
Skye smirked as she finished off her fruit. She reached for a second one but her stomach suddenly contracted and she felt the immistakeable urge to puke. "Oh god.." Skye stood and spun around toward the closest bathroom and took off. She'd reached the toilet just in time to hurl up the fruit she'd just eaten. Maddy showed up a few moments later to see Skye finish hacking up her breakfast. Skye grumbled to herself as she sat back on her heels and wiped her mouth.
"Oh my god! Skye are you alright?" Maddy asked panicked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I've been doing this for a few days." Skye muttered half-mindedly. "Dammit! WRONG thing to say!"
Maddy's eyes went wide. "What! A few days? Oh my god! Skye! That day I came to check on you and we talked, you'd thrown up right?"
Skye was mentally slapping herself for saying what she'd said at this point but she thought she'd just shake her head and see if Maddy would fall for it and leave her be.
"Don't you dare lie to me, Skye Tate. How long has this been going on?" Maddy demanded as she grabbed a rag off the counter and wetted it for Skye. She was fuming at Skye for not telling her sooner.
Skye shrugged. "A little over a week I'm guessing."
"A little over a- Skye! Are you crazy?" Maddy hissed as she handed Skye the rag to wipe her mouth.
Skye shook her head. "It's nothing."
"This is obviously not nothing Skye." Maddy growled. "What do you think could make you be throwing up like this?"
Skye shrugged as she finished wiping her mouth and stood up. "I don't know. I feel fine most of the time. I'm not sick." She led Maddy back out into her kitchen and glanced at the clock. It was only nine o'clock so she couldn't make an excuse to leave for her shift. She groaned inwardly.
Maddy just looked at her for a moment before grabbing her bag and motioning for Skye to follow her. "Come on."
"Where are we going?" Skye asked without moving.
"To go get you checked up with my mom." Maddy reached for Skye but Skye whipped her hand back.
"I'm telling you I'm fine! I'm probably just stressed out over the Lucas thing! A lot happened out there in the jungle and I don't want to think about it." Skye snapped at her friend.
Maddy's eyes widened suddenly. "Oh my god Skye..."
"What?" Skye hissed.
Maddy bit her lip and didn't say anything, something playing behind her eyes. Her eyebrows furrowed with worry.
"What!" Skye demanded again.
"Uh..." Maddy said awkwardly but suddenly her features grew serious. "Skye, when did you last have your period?"
Suddenly, what Maddy was seeming to think dawned on Skye as she looked at Maddy dumbfounded. "Sorry?"
"When did you last have your period! It's not that hard of a question." Maddy took a step toward Skye.
"I-I..." Skye raked her brain to remember. "I don't remember.."
Maddy dropped her bag and grabbed Skye's arm and hauled her to her bedroom. She sat Skye down on the bed and shut the door. "You're going to tell me everything, and I mean everything, that went on in that jungle with Lucas. Do you understand me, Skye?"
Skye shook her head. "That is none of your business Maddy. I need to get ready for work."
"No you don't! Your shift isn't until eleven so we still have an hour or so to talk. And you're going to talk to me." Maddy growled at Skye.
Skye sighed knowing that she wasn't going to get out of this easily. "Fine."
"Start from the top." Maddy said as she sat down next to Skye.
Skye told Maddy everything. She told her about how she'd healed Lucas out of guilt and he came after her. She told Maddy about the fruit and how she'd kissed him. Then she talked about Mira showing up and told Maddy all of the stuff that had happened to them in the badlands and how Lucas had bravely rescued her and that was when she knew that she was in love with the man. She admitted what she'd done with Lucas the following night, about how they'd gone the whole nine yards with him and the next morning she found the note and drove back to Terra Nova.
"Skye you're pregnant." Maddy finished after a minute of silence between the two.
Skye's eyes widened. She considered the idea but had forced it out of her mind, thinking the possibility was insane. "I am not! I'd know if I was!"
"Do you even know what pregnant is, Skye? Oh my god! Skye there's no other explaination as to what is going on! You're coming with me right now and we are going to go see Dr. Shannon." Maddy grasped Skye around the wrist and began to stand, but Skye stayed put.
"I'm not going." Skye said. "I'm not pregnant."
Maddy glared at Skye. "Couldn't hurt to check now could it? I'm not going to let you do this to yourself Skye. You need to think that there may be a child growing inside of you!"
"But I don't want anyone to find out!" Skye spat through clenched teeth. "What would everyone think? What would Josh think? What would the Commander think? If I were carrying Lucas Taylor's child, my entire reputation would be on the line and the Commander would know I lied!"
Maddy rolled her eyes. "If you ask my mom to keep it secret, she will."
"But that's the thing," Skye said quietly. "I don't trust anyone here anymore."
Maddy turned to look at Skye for a moment. "You know who you sound just like, Skye?"
"Who?" Skye said quietly, already knowing the answer.
"Lucas Taylor himself."
:) How was that? Do you think she's really pregnant?:D Leave a review!:D
And one more thing... No crits please:) I'm sick and tired of it. Thanks!:)
