Buffy sat on the examination table in the doctor's office studying her nails. She had begged and pleaded with Angel not to make her go but he insisted. She needed to see the doctor and find out what was wrong so she could work on getting better. Buffy knew they were right, but the thing was, she was scared. For as long she could remember she had been afraid of going to the doctor. Something about the too clean rooms gave her the wiggins.
Her parents had always had to fight to get her to go. They even went as far as to bribe her, but she couldn't be swayed. She always put up one heck of a fight. She could remember one time where she hid under her bed for hours, listening as her parents searched the house for her.
But that was then and this was now. She had to be strong and get through this. Angel and Cordy were right. She needed to find out what was wrong so she could get better. She just wished that Angel had come in with her.
Just then the door opened, startling her out of her thoughts. Buffy looked up to see the doctor coming into the room. She shut the door and turned to Buffy with a friendly smile. " Hi Buffy I'm Dr. Calender." She said sitting in the chair next to the table. " Now, what seems to be the problem?" " Well, umm, I've been having dizzy spells, and the other night I passed out at the football game. Then this morning my friend Cordelia couldn't wake me up so she called my boyfriend. But when he tried waking me up that didn't work so he had to put me in the shower." Buffy said in a big rush. " I see. Has there been anything else? Like have you been throwing up a lot lately?" " Come to think of it Dr. Calender I have. Every morning I've woken up sick to my stomach. The smell of food makes me sick and brushing my teeth makes me throw up." " I see. Buffy, when was your last period?" " It was..." She trailed off. Now that she thought about it, it had been a while since she last had her period. She just couldn't remember how long it had been. " I'm not sure." " I see. Buffy are you sexually active?" Buffy looked down embarrassed. " Buffy its ok, you can tell me." Buffy looked up at Dr. Calender. " Yes." She said blushing.
Dr. Calender reached out and patted her hand. " Buffy, I want you to take a pregnancy test for me." Buffy looked at her shocked. " O...Ok." Dr. Calender handed her a cup and sent her to the bathroom.
Buffy shut the door and looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't be pregnant. She and Angel were way too young to have a baby. Not to mention their parents would kill them. She shook her head to clear it. There was just no way she was pregnant. Stuff like that happened to other girls, not her. Besides, she and Angel used protection every time they made love.
Buffy filled the cup and walked back to the room and handed it to Dr. Calender. "Thank you Buffy. I'll just take this to be tested and I'll be right back." Buffy sighed. She hoped this didn't take too long. Dr. Calender came back into the room and sat next to Buffy. " We should get the results from the pregnancy test in about an hour." " So do you really think I'm pregnant?" " Its a possibility." Buffy looked down at her hands. " But I want to do other tests to see if its something else, just in case.
For the next hour Dr. Calender did a number of tests on Buffy. Everything came back negative. She did a complete physical and found nothing. Buffy was perfectly healthy. All they needed now was the results to the pregnancy test.
" Well Buffy, everything is perfectly fine. I'll just go get the results and then you can go." Buffy nodded and watched her walk out. She hoped this didn't take long, she really wanted to get out of here. She just wanted to know the results so she could go home.
Home. If the test was positive she was going to be afraid to go back there. She could hear her parents now. They would tell her that she was irresponsible and that she and Angel had acted rashly. They would also probably tell her that Angel would leave her. But she knew that wasn't true. Angel loved her too much, he would never leave her. She knew Angel would be by her side the whole way. They would get through this together. Just then Dr. Calender walked in the room, a grim look on her face.
Buffy walked out to the waiting room, a dazed look on her face. Angel jumped up when he saw her. " Buffy! I've been worried sick." " Angel." " So what is it. Do you have the flu or something?" " Worse." " What could be worse than the flu?" " Angel...oh Angel." She threw herself in his arms and burst into tears.
" Shhh Buffy. What is it? You can tell me anything. Whatever it is I'll help you get through it. I love yo so much and nothing is going to change that." Buffy looked into Angel's eyes and smiled at the love she saw there. What she was about to tell him would drastically change both of their lives completely. " Buffy, please tell me. You're starting to scare me here." Buffy took a deep breath and looked up at Angel. " Angel I'm...I'm pregnant.
