"So I'm staying in Scranton for right now." Alex said with a pleasant smile. "Angela's been helping me out…we have schedule with the OBGYN today." She bit her lip nervously. "To get an ultrasound." After another brief pause she sighed heavily.
"She has to figure out I was lying about being preggers eventually. Maybe when she gets a good look at my empty uterus she'll know."
/
"Hey do you want to get lunch first?" Alex asked spinning in a spare chair by her sister's desk. Angela shook her head without looking up from the tax forms.
"I don't like eating before noon…maybe afterwards." She murmured.
/
"I normally don't condone premarital pregnancies, but considering that Alexandra appears remorseful for her irresponsible actions…I've decided to see how she does in the presence of a responsible adult."

Angela stopped by Dwight's desk to say goodbye on their way out the door. Knowing that his monkey would kill him if he attempted giving her a kiss goodbye, the salesman just grasped her hand and told her to have a nice time as politely as he could.
"I really would like a sandwich or something…" Alex whined as they approached her older sister's car. Angela shook her head and waited until they were both seated inside the vehicle before giving a verbal response.
"No. You should keep your stomach empty for the ultrasound." Angela told her, starting the car and pulling cautiously out of her parking spot.
"Couldn't get much emptier…" Alex muttered under her breath.

As they entered the OBGYN waiting room, Alex let out an exasperated sigh when she saw all the posters and models of the female reproductive system all over the place. "Do we really need the diagrams? I mean…I think I know what my cooch looks like."
"Alexandra…it's for young mothers…" Angela chastised her as she led her over to the window so she could sign them in.
"I'm sure if these young mothers you speak of were able to find the right place to put the penis in order to impregnate themselves then they are fully aware of their vagina." Alex flopped down roughly into a seat much to Angela's displeasure.
"You should really be more careful with the way you carry yourself."
"I'm sure I'm not hurting anything."
"Well when your baby comes out with a head that looks like a pentagon don't come running to me."
Alex glared at her. "If my baby has a pentagon head I'd probably just throw it in a trash can and pretend it didn't happen." Angela's jaw dropped, but she recovered quickly when she realized who she was talking to.

"Oh…I like this stuff." Alex squealed as the ultrasound operator rubbed some gel on her stomach. "Could it be used as a lubricant?"
Angela rolled her eyes, and helped hold her little sister's tank top up so the woman could run the paddle over her stomach. "You will not be needing any lubricant for another nine months." She said sternly.
The technician smiled and rubbed the paddle all over Alex's flat stomach. After a few moments she furrowed her brow and stared at the black and white screen in confusion. "That's weird."
"What?" Angela demanded letting go of Alex's shirt and leaning forward.
"I can't find a heartbeat."
"Well look harder."
"Well, I'm not seeing anything…" The tech looked at each sister with sympathy, "I don't there's anything in there."
"What?" Alex shouted a little too quickly. "This…is an outrage! I'm not…Oh…my…god…"
"Alexandra." Angela growled stepping back and clenching her fists.
"Oh sorry…Oh my gosh." Alex corrected as she sat up and pulled down her shirt without bothering to wipe the gel off of herself. "Well, I guess I'm not pregnant. Want to go get sandwiches now?"
"You lied to me?" Angela exclaimed. The tech took this as her cue to leave.
"I didn't lie! I just…altered reality…"
"Why? Why would you do that?"
"Funsies." Alex admitted with a small shrug. Angela stood there in shock before covering her eyes, trying to hide the impending tears. "Angie…calm down…I'm sorry. I just wanted to see if you had a heart."
"This is what I get for trying with you." Angela snapped dropping her arms in defeat. "But you are impossible. You're stubborn, and disrespectful, and crude, and now you're a liar."
"Angie…"
"No…just shut up." Angela stopped her harshly. After a few moments of shrill silence, she went on, "Let's go get sandwiches."
Alex stared at her before hopping off the table. "Seriously?"
"Please…just…don't talk right now." Angela requested leading her out of the room. Alex followed trying not to display her fear too much.
