Chapter 2

Heath stared at April in absolute shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Surely his ears were deceiving him. They had been careful everytime, there was no way this could have happened. "You're pregnant?" Heath wondered incredulously.

April nodded timidly but said nothing. She had never felt so vulnerable in her life. She couldn't believe that she had just told Heath that she was pregnant.

He refused to believe it. "Are you sure? You have OCD, right? It could just be in your mind."

She grimaced. "Thanks." April said sarcastically. "Now I'm crazy."

Heath shook his head. "I didn't mean it like that-" he began but April didn't want to hear it.

"Whatever. And it's not my OCD, Heath. I've done three tests. I am pregnant." she assured him.

He rubbed his neck. "Have you seen a doctor?"

April shook her head. "No. I guess I didn't want to admit this was happening."

Heath bit his lip. "Well you need to see a doctor. We need to have this confirmed." He wasn't going to accept that she was pregnant until it was a fact.

"Fine, I'll make an appointment. I'm scared, Heath." April admitted. All of this was making her nauseous and it wasn't the morning sickness. She was so ashamed.

He nodded. "Me too, Ape. I just don't know how this happened!"

April frowned. "I think we both know how it happened."
"That's not what I meant." Heath said looking around self-conciously. "We were careful." he reminded her.

"Yeah, I know. I was there. We obviously weren't careful enough." she told him in a matter-of-fact tone.

Heath hesitated for a moment. "Are you sure it's mine?"

April looked at the Riverboy in disbelief. "Great, so now I'm crazy and a slut. You know what Heath? Just forget about it. I can handle it by myself." she said coldly and turned to walk away.

Heath grabbed her arm but she shook it off. He hesitated for a moment and then started running after her. "Wait, April I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. Please stop. Talk to me."

April turned to face him. She was obviously angry. "I shouldn't have told you. I knew it was a mistake."

"No, I'm glad you did. We should talk about this-"

"Look Heath, I don't feel like talking about this now. I need time to think." April told him firmly before hurrying back into the diner. Thankfully he didn't follow. She stopped for a moment to compose herself before april returned to the table and sat back down with Casey and Ruby. They looked at her curiously.

"What did my brother want?" Casey wondered suspiciously.

April shrugged. "Just asking about Bianca. I told him he needed to move on." she lied.

Ruby was dubious. "Did he upset you? You look like you've seen a ghost."

She waved it off. "No, I just don't feel that well. I think I'm going to go home and lie down." April told them and left again. Instead of going home, she went down to the beach and sat on the sand. April stared at the waves for a moment before she buried her face in her hands and let the tears flow. The whole situation was a mess and she didn't know what to do.
