Chapter 4

Two weeks went by, before Olivia decided that she had the courage to tell Elliot, that she was pregnant with his baby.

6:00am

Olivia woke half an hour earlier, she walked into the bathroom and showered. In the shower, she just kept thinking about the baby and Elliot. "How the hell am I gonna tell him? He's gonna hate me even more then he already does." Olivia said to herself as she washed herself. Finally after 20 minutes of thinking in the shower, she got out and walked back to her bedroom, where she got dresseed, put her hair up and applied her make up.

She was out of the apartment on the way to Elliot's house at 7:15am. During the half an hour drive, she kept practising what she was going to say to Elliot.

Olivia cleared her throat. "Elliot, I'm pregnant... Nah, too upfront... umm, Elliot, you remember the night we slept together? Well you're gonna be a daddy... Mmmm, maybe not... Elliot I don't know how to say this, but you're gonna be a father, I'm pregnant... Yeah, that'll do."

When Elliot's house came into view, Olivia started shaking. "Pull yourself together Olivia, you're doing this for the baby's sake." Olivia said to herself as she pulled up outside the front of the old brownstone house.

She opened the car door, stepped out and shut the door behind her.

Slowly Olivia walked up to the big brown wooden door and knocked. A tall man with medium length blonde hair and blue eyes opened the door.

"Hello? How may I help you?" he asked with a smile.

"Um hi. I'm Olivia, I was wondeering if Elliot was home." Olivia managed to get out, even through her nervousness.

"I'm sorry Olivia, but Elliot moved out with Kathy. All I know is that Kathy's pregnant and he transferred to another school because he moved in with Kathy."

Olivia was devastated. "Um ok, thank you." Olivia turned around and walked back to her car, before he could see her tears.

Olivia was crying the whole drive home, she was so lucky that she wasn't in a car accident since her vision was blurred from the tears. Once she arrived at her and Casey's apartment, she let herself in and ran into her bedroom.

Casey wa sitting on the couch watching TV, since she didn't have a class untill later that morning. She heard Olivia come in and run into her bedroom, slamming the door.

"What the hell was that about? Maybe Elliot didn't take it to well." Caey thought, and decided to give her best friend some space.

The apartment was silent besides Olivia's crying for about 10 minutes before Casey heard things being thrown around in Olivia's bedroom.

"What the hell is she doing?" Casey asked herself as she got up and ran to Olivia's room.

She opened the door to see everything all over the place and Olivia curled up in a ball on the floor, crying.

Olivia saw Casey walk in, so she sat up and threw her arms out, asking for a hug. Casey gathered her up in a big hug to comfort her as she continued to cr.

"What did Elliot say, Liv?"

"Nothing because he wasn't there." Olivia replied, but Casey only just understood as she was crying.

"What do you mean he wasn't there?"

"Kathy's pregnant, so he transferred to another school and moved in with her." Olivia said crying harder and shaking hysterically.

"2 women pregnant within a couple months of each other, he's not very bright is he" Casey said, trying to cheer Olivia up just a bit.

Olivia slightly laughed, through her tears, but that was all.

So once again in that same month, Casey was there for her best friend as she cried. And Olivia missed yet another class.

Just as Olivia finally calmed down, she bolted to the toilet and the morning sickness for the day kicked in. But in Olivia's case it was anytime, day or night sickness and Casey felt sorry for her. Casey was always there for Olivia, comforting her through the whole time she was puking her guts out. She seemed to notice that the more Olivia stressed about Elliot and the baby, the sicker she was.

Olivia turned to Casey, once the vomiting ceased, "Can you please help me up?"

"Sure" Casey replied as she stood up and helped her up.

As they walked in to the kitchen, they began talking about the tiny unborn child inside Olivia.

"So, Liv, when is the first ultrasound?"

"Um, I made the appointment for next week, if you wanna come?"

"It depends on what day and time, Liv" Casey said as she grabbed 2 bottles of water out of the fridge and Olivia sat at the table.

"It's on Thursday at 10:15am" Olivia replied as Casey sat down and passed her a bottle of water.

Olivia opened the bottle and took a sip as Casey thought for a moment, trying to remember if she had anything planned that particular morning.

"Um, I can come with you. Only if you're really sure, Liv"

Olivia nodded and smiled. "You're my best friend, Case; of course I want you to come. Also I've been thinking, when the baby arrives, I would like you to be their godmother"

Casey was so happy. "Oh my Gosh, Liv. I'd love to be. Thanks so much"

Olivia smiled. "It's my way of saying thank you for everything"

"It's what best friends are for, Liv. Come on, let's get to school. You've already missed your maths class"

Olivia nodded as she stood. "I hate maths anyway"

Casey laughed as they left the apartment and went to school.
