Chapter 6 Who's the daddy?

Kerry was shaking as Bridget walked back in the room

"I got you an appointment for 4.30, we'll have to go in about 10 minutes. That is if you want me to go with you"

"Please come with be Beach, I can't do that alone"

"Ok."

Bridget walked back over to Kerry and hugged her again. It was then they heard Rory and their Mom come home. Bridget turned to Kerry and said,

"You want me to tell her?

"No, thanks, I'm the one who's royally screwed up, I should be the one to tell her"

"It's gonna be okay."

"Easy enough for you to say, you're not the one who's gonna be a single teen mother in a matter of months" Kerry cracked a smile with this and got up and wiped some of the tears from her eyes. She walked to the door but turned back and sat back down.

"You know maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea telling her right now."

"Kerry" Bridget said, looking at her sister in an accusing way.

"What! I'll tell her, I will, I just wanna talk to the doctor first."

"Ok but you gotta tell her soon. She's pretty worried about you"

"Why would she be worried, unless you've been talking to her about this"

"Of course I talked to her about this, I needed to know if I was right, I needed her advice!"

"Right, yeah, sorry, of course you would. I just, God I don't know what to do."

"I know what you're gonna do Ker, first we're gonna go to the doctor and see if you really are 100 pregnant, then, if you are we'll discuss every option with the doctor about your pregnancy and then we'll come home and tell mom, cos no matter what you think right now I know she can help. We'll get through today and leave what come next to tomorrow alright"

"Ok, thanks Beach."

"You're welcome, now come on, get your coat, we got a doctor to see."

Kerry couldn't keep still the whole way to the doctor's office. They walked in and took their seats waiting to be called. All Kerry could hear was the sound of her own breathing and looked around in a daze, as if it wasn't real, as if it was happening to someone else. Her name came up and Bridget guided her into Dr Leng's office. Doctor Leng was a pleasant woman, about 3 years older than their mom and a trusted family friend. She always had a pleasant and reassuring air about her, but even that didn't make what Kerry was about to say any easier.

"So Kerry, Bridget, what can I do for you girls today?"

Kerry stared at the ground.

"Kerry" said Bridget trying to get her sisters attention.

"Oh uh, yeah. Here goes, I think I'm pregnant and I guess I need you to confirm it, or preferably tell me I'm not."

"I see, have you taken a test at home?"

"Yeah"

"and…."

"And it was positive."

"Have you had unprotected sex in the last few months?"

Kerry looked wide-eyed at her sister.

"Kerry it's ok, I can wait outside for a minute if you want to do this in private" said Bridget.

"You know what, maybe that is a good idea. I can tell these questions are just gonna get more embarrassing."

"Ok, I will be just outside. If you need me at all, just wave and I'll come back in."

Kerry nodded and Bridget left the room, giving Doctor Leng a pleasant smile.

"So, Kerry, have you been having unprotected sex?"

"Yes."

"I see, I'm sorry but I have to ask this of a girl your age, was it consensual?"

"Yes"

"Ok then. You'd better come and lay down on the bed so I can feel your abdomen ok, and then I'll go next door and get an sonogram machine."

Again Kerry nodded her compliance and walked across the room and lay down on the bed, unbuttoning her jeans and pulling up her shirt, she was definitely bigger than she had been a few months ago. After a few pokes and prods Doctor Leg rolled her shirt back down for her and said the words Kerry would never forget.

"Well Miss Hennessy it looks like you are pregnant, maybe 4, 5 months along, I'll go get the sonogram and I'll be able to tell better."

"Doctor Leng?" said Kerry

"Yeah Kerry"

"Could you ask Bridget to come in for this?"

"Sure, I'll be right back."

She returned a minute later with Bridget and the machine. Bridget walked strait over to Kerry, pulled up a seat next to her head and held her hand as the Doctor prepped the machine. She didn't need to say anything. Doctor Lend lifted Kerry's shirt again and began the sonogram. Kerry looked straight up at the ceiling, still praying it wasn't true. As soon as the tip was pressed to Kerry's abdomen there was no possible way to deny it any longer as they heard the rhythmic thuds of the babies heartbeat. Kerry looked over at Bridget who was smiling at the sight on the screen in front of them. Kerry looked at the screen and saw her child for the first time with her own eyes. It was very small but she could make out toes and fingers and a little head.

"There you are Kerry that's your baby. Would you like to know the sex?"

"You can tell that already?!"

"Sure! We can tell from the fourth month or so, I'd say you're at nearly five months Would you like to know?

"Yeah, I guess"

"It's a little girl"

Kerry started to well up with tears now, overwhelmed, terrified but oddly their was a little bit of something else behind it. Something she hadn't felt for a while. Happiness.

She looked back to Bridget, a smile finally gracing her face but went serious again when she saw Bridget was trying to figure something out.

"Bridge? What is it?"

"We haven't seen Bruno in over six months now. So if you're five months pregnant it can't be his. Kerry, who have you been sleeping with? Who's the father?"

Kerry and Bridget stormed back in the house after the appointment, yelling now.

"Kerry! Tell me!"

"Back off Bridget! I'm gonna tell him and Mom first, then you'll find out!"

Cate came down the stairs

"Tell mom what?"

Both girls froze. Kerry put her hands in her pockets and looked around, not sure which direction to walk in.

"Mom you'd better sit down"

"No thanks I'd rather be standing, what's goin' on?"

"I'm pregnant" Kerry gently bit on her lip waiting for her mother's reply.

"Are you sure? Have you been to the doctor?"

"yeah, we just got back" Kerry walked towards her mother and took the sonogram picture from her pocket, she handed it to her. "That's my daughter" she said as she walked past her mom and went up to her room, leaving Cate to sit down on the couch and stare at the picture. Bridget sat next to her mom and hugged her.

When Kerry was finally alone in her room she took out her cell phone and made a call. "Kyle? Hey it's Kerry, look, I really need to talk to you."
