A/N: I'm back again with 'nother chapter! A special thanks goes out to those who reviewed, and remember that the more reviews I get will help me get these updates out quicker, ASAP since school is going more insane by the minute. :P Anyway, please favorite, follow, and review! Is Sondra really pregnant, or is this all just in her head? Let's find out! Enjoy chapter 7! :D :D :) :)

ALSO: ANOTHER MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER XD

Sondra's POV

I couldn't be pregnant, I couldn't be pregnant, I just couldn't be pregnant! There was no way that a little baby was starting to build and grow inside of my stomach! I'm no where near ready for parenthood! There was no doubt in me that if I somehow was carrying a tiny person inside of me that Johnny was the father. As much as I'd hate to admit it, there was no other option. I never had it with anybody else before in my entire life, considering that I wanted to wait until I got married way later into the future. However, I'm afraid that it's too late to go back and start over at Buck's party. Like Johnny said, we did it, but it's over, and we can't reverse what happened between us because our drunk selves obviously ended up taking things too far in our relationship. Our virginities were no more, and when a virginity is gone, there was no way of getting it back.

I kept trying to convince myself that this was all in my head, but I knew that deep down inside that it was a possibility. I doubt that there was any protection involved, and it was obvious that I wasn't on the pill. Why would a drunk couple, especially one that was at one of Buck's wild parties, care to make sure that everything was safe before making love?

I just turned fifteen though! I wasn't ready to become a mother, and if I was pregnant...the thought still gave me the chills...Johnny was just turning seventeen in a few months and he was starting to get better in school without anybody needing to help him often. I knew that he wasn't ready to take the huge responsibility of becoming a father. Being parents were one of the most difficult responsibilities in the whole wide universe...how could Johnnycake and I, two teenagers, raise any child?

NO! NO! No, you stop that thinking right now, Sondra Allison Prescott! You're not pregnant! This is all just one big misunderstanding! Maybe your period is just running a little late! You and Johnny aren't going to become parents because you're obviously not carrying any baby!

I kept hollering and sometimes even cursing myself out in my head on the entire ride in Darry's truck to the hospital. I don't think I've ever seen Darry so pale before in my entire life. When I shamefully and embarrassedly stuttered out the truth about how I thought that I was pregnant, Darry's eyes looked as if they were about to bulge right out of his head. All of the mercy and nervousness that were previously glimmering them drained away instantly, and Darry took no hesitation to grasp me by my arm after he fetched his boots and slipped them on.

I cried the whole way to the hospital, not saying a word to the eldest Curtis as he went on and on lecturing me like tomorrow would never come. His face was beating redder than the devil's, and a new mixture of anger and disappointment was now shining in his furiously narrowed eyes. He was gripping the steering wheel of his truck to the point where his knuckles were going pale, and I thought that the wheel would have gave and snapped right underneath his fingertips at anytime throughout the entire ride to the hospital.

I don't believe that I've ever seen Darry so upset, but I didn't blame him. If I was in his shoes, I would've been bellowing at me, too. Out of every girl Darry has met in his life, I was one of them who he thought would never make such a mistake like this one, possibly being pregnant. What kind of example would I be setting for my kid sister? And what about Cassidy and even little Jocelyn for that matter? Teenage pregnancy is nothing to be proud of, and I was certainly ashamed in myself and humiliated as well. Though, I didn't know exactly if I was pregnant yet...I couldn't have been...I wasn't...

After Darry parked his truck in the parking lot at the hospital, I had finally grasped myself well enough to stop crying. However, that didn't stop Darry from continuing to go on with his lecture after he grabbed me by my arm again and led us both through the main doors of the hospital. After that, he greeted the lady at the front desk with a smile and explained the situation with the calmest tone that he could pass. We needed a room, and after waiting for about ten minutes in the waiting room, Dr. Bender came into the room and announced my name.

"All right, Sondra, I understand that you just turned fifteen and that you're concerned that you believe that you may be pregnant. Is this correct?" Dr. Bender asked me as he closed the door to my small hospital after he entered. I was already kicking back on the sheet covered examining table, and Darry was eagerly tapping one of his feet against the cold, white, clean floor, sitting in one of the chairs that were in the corner.

Embarrassedly, I gazed down at my shoes as my legs slowly dangled back and forth from where I was sitting. I could tell that Darry was giving me that look of his that meant, 'If you don't tell him, I will.'

"Yes, that's right..." I slowly nodded my head, keeping the tone of my voice quiet and trying not to expose my nervousness.

"Well then," Dr. Bender took a fast look at his clipboard before he pulled a different chair over to the center of the small room and sat down. He then fixed his eyes back on me, adjusting his glasses as he said: "I'm just goin' to ask you a few questions, all right? After that, I'll take a blood test from you so we can just see if you really are pregnant, okay?"

At the mention of a blood test, my eyes grew for about three seconds, and I took down a giant gulp to help clear a forming bump from the center of my throat. If there was one main thing that I desperately hated, other than the Socs and the Cobras, it was needles. I just couldn't stand the picture of a pointy thing pricking my arm or sliding under my skin. Needles and pins...that just sent even more chills up my spine, but I understandingly nodded at the doctor. I needed to find out the truth.

"Okay, let's see here," Dr. Bender began to scan his clipboard again. "Have you been feeling lightheaded or more sleepy than usual?"

I scratched my cheek with my thumbnail for a moment. I could feel how hot I was already beginning to form. "Yeah, my sleeping patterns have changed quite a bit."

Understandingly, Dr. Bender nodded and seemed to write down some stuff on his clipboard, along with checking something else off. After that, he glanced at me again.

"How about your eating? Have you been more hungry?"

I took no hesitation to nod. "Yes, I have. I sometimes can't sleep from these massive cramps just forming in the pit of my stomach, so I head downstairs and get something to sink my teeth into. When I eat, I eat like I've never ate before."

"I see," Dr. Bender scribbled some more stuff down on his clipboard. "Cramps, you say? How do these cramps feel? Extremely painful, or do they feel like an ordinary cramp? This is very important because if you are pregnant and the cramps are nothing but massive pain, you could most likely have a miscarriage."

At the term 'miscarriage,' I couldn't help to tremble from the new sharp chills tingling up and down my spine. I loved little kids and toddlers and babies, but I didn't want to have my own right now. The horrifying picture of a miscarriage startled me, right next to the heartbreaking image of abortion.

"The cramps are pretty much a lot alike what girls get around their period. Not extremely painful, but enough to get a girl to sometimes groan." I explained.

"Ah, you're speaking about ovulation. Those cramps are nothing to be worried over then." Dr. Bender assured me. "Now, when were you supposed to have your period?"

"Today, actually," I replied. "I went to the bathroom to check, but when I did, there was nothing there. I don't understand. I mean, I'm going through all of the signs of a monthly gift coming back 'round, but I didn't start today."

"Well, Ms. Prescott, missing your period at your age is a very common thing. I wouldn't worry about it, so don't think that you might be pregnant just because your time of month didn't arrive just yet. It might just be a little delayed, but we'll find out the truth behind all of this very shortly." lectured Dr. Bender, and I quietly gulped to myself at the thought of me possibly being pregnant. I forced myself to nod though.

When Dr. Bender began to glance at his clipboard yet again, I didn't wait to take a peek over at Darry. He was bright red all over again, staring right back at me with seriousness locked in both of his eyes. I didn't know if he was red that time because of listening to the doctor talk to me about Mother Nature or because he was still startled about how I might be pregnant. It was possibly both, but when Dr. Bender stared back up at me, I gazed right back.

"What about vomiting? Have you been feeling sick to your stomach at all?" He questioned, his eyebrow now raised with concern.

"Oh man, yes I have been throwing up a lot. Every time I eat something, I'm sooner gettin' rid of it a few moments or sometimes atleast an hour later." I answered.

"I can understand that. You're craving a lot, remember? When you eat so much, your stomach can't handle it, especially if the food you're eating is too sweet or too salty." shared Dr. Bender. Again, I nodded my head. "But what about the time that you throw up? Is it more often in the morning, afternoon, or nighttime?"

I didn't need to think twice there. "In the morning, especially when I roll out of bed or after I eat breakfast."

"I see," Dr. Bender finished up his writing on his clipboard and closed his pen, right before he tucked it back behind his ear. "You did a great job at answering the questions, Sondra. Now, I'm going to take some of your blood so I can test to see if you're really pregnant."

Again, my eyes grew at the mention of the blood test, and I felt as if I was about to hurl from being so terrified.

"It's just a little needle, Sondra." Darry said in a calm tone from where he was still sitting in the corner, but I truly knew that he still wanted to lecture me some more about how I was possibly pregnant.

"And what's your relationship to this young man, Ms. Prescott? Is he your older brother?" Dr. Bender asked me, offering a small grin over his shoulder for a moment, as he got the tube and the needle ready, along with the...I think it was peroxide and a small cotton ball.

"No, he's just my friend," I innocently spoke, now hiding some forming sorrow from the mention of an older brother. "I don't have an older brother anymore."

"Oh...well I'm sorry to hear that..." Dr. Bender said in a apologetic voice, but I didn't say anything back. I didn't want to talk about Gabriel until Brother's Day. I mean, that's when Iris and I were going to go to the cemetery to pay his tombstone a little visit, and we'll say whatever we wanted to say right then and there, together. So, all I did was shrug at Dr. Bender.

I clenched my eyes shut and looked away, squeezing my knuckles so tight to the point where I could feel them beginning to tremble. I didn't need to look to know that they were going paler by the minute. The cold medicine on the small cotton ball met by skin, rubbing gently up and down for about three or so seconds. After that, I clenched my teeth and felt like all I could hear was the sound of my heart rapidly racing in my chest, each pump seeming as if it was harder than the last. I honestly never knew that a heart could pump at such a quick speed. Was my heart going to burst?

I felt the needle prick my skin, and a quiet yelp escaped from my lips. I then didn't feel anything, but I still refused to look. The room was completely silent, and all that I could see was blackness. Finally, I felt the stickiness of a band-aid get placed over the spot where I felt my arm get pricked. That's when I stopped clenching my teeth and reopened my eyes, knowing that the blood test was over and I didn't need to worry about anymore pins or needles. In relief, I took in a deep; but soft breath and released it quietly to myself.

"All right," Dr. Bender stated, exchanging glances with both me and Darry. "You two just sit tight, okay? I'll be back with the results in just a few minutes."

"Thank you, Dr." Darry said, his voice still calm since Dr. Bender was still there. I nodded my head with agreement, and Dr. Bender offered us both a smile before he left my hospital room with my blood and his clipboard.

To my surprise, Darry didn't leap up from where he was sitting and start lecturing me out of nowhere all over again. Instead, he just continued sitting there in the corner, gazing at me as if I was a maniac or somethin' like that. I knew that possibly getting pregnant at fifteen was nothing to be fond over, but did he really have to add onto my stress? I was already nervous about what the results would come out as. The last thing I needed was Darry, one of my friends, blowing up at me like he did on the ride here.

"I know that you're mad at me, Darry," I rolled my eyes to myself and sighed.

Darry crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm more disappointed. I mean, you just turned fifteen last week! How in the world can you be pregnant? You're better than that, Sonny!"

"I know I am, but it's not like I meant to have it! I actually wanted to wait until I got married in the far future before I dared to give away my virginity, but it just happened!" I tried to reason with the eldest Curtis without letting Buck's party slip, or about how it was all with Johnny. I'm just surprised that Darry never suspected that since Johnnycake was my boyfriend.

"How?" Darry demanded to know, the tone of his voice now mixed with drop-dead seriousness and some rage. "How in the world did this just happen? Having it doesn't just happen, Sondra!"

My wrecked emotions were beginning to get the best of me again. "Well, it did with me!" I barked viciously. "You have no idea how terrible I feel 'bout all of this, but you should know that givin' me this whole dang lecture isn't making this any easier for you or me!"

"Sondra, I'm just stating the facts!" Darry pointed out as he stood up from his chair and began to exam the pictures of different X-rays and even the birth process that were on the wall. How in the world could a women give birth to something that big out of such a little...ew! There was no way that I was goin' to go through that painful process. I'm not pregnant!

"Darry, I get that possibly being pregnant isn't such a gigantic ray of golden sunshine from heaven for somebody my age, but I honestly didn't mean to have it! You got to believe me!" I began to sound like that I was begging more than anything.

"...When did you even have it?" Darry suddenly asked after a pause, his eyebrow now cocked with curiosity.

My eyes went huge. "What?"

"You know what!" Darry barked, his eyes now sharply narrowed.

I didn't want to tell Darry anything about Buck's party, especially since I understood completely how much he disliked Buck, and he didn't like anybody but Dally or Two-Bit going there. My promise to Johnny was only beginning to eat at me all over again. I felt as if I was being yanked back and forth in a tug-a-war game, half of me actually wanting to get this off of my chest and tell Darry everything, but the other half of me obviously wanted to keep my promise to my Johnnycake. He was going through just as much nervousness and guilt as I was, I bet, and how would he feel, or I feel for that matter, when he's been keeping his mouth shut all week about Buck's party and I break my half of the promise by telling Darry.

"...I had it a week ago, okay?" I figured that admitting when I had it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I really should've used my head there.

"A week ago?" It was then Darry's turn to allow his eyes to go big all over again. "But that was the day we had your surprise birthday party! When could you have possibly had it? And with whom exactly? Do you have any idea how Johnnycake will act towards this if he finds out?"

Oh my god, was he serious? I'm not tryin' to be rude here, but I always figured that Superman would put the pieces together there about me and Johnny...you know, since we're a happy couple who love each other and wouldn't part or ever think about cheating on each other.

"Trust me, Darry," I rolled my eyes to myself. "I understand completely how Johnnycake will react...and if I am somehow pregnant...he'll be just as upset as me..."

Complete confusion swiped across Darry's face. He shrugged. "What are you talkin' about, Sondra?"

I didn't say anything back; I didn't get a chance to. After Darry's question, all we had were about three extra seconds of silence before my hospital room's door opened up again. Without any hesitation, Darry and I flashed our full attention over to the door, only so we could lie our eyes on Dr. Bender and a female ginger nurse that was a little behind him. In Dr. Bender's hands, he was holding what I was guessing were my results.

Nervously, I gripped the examining table, and Darry stood as stiff as a rock, standing up straight and keeping his undivided attention on Dr. Bender and the nurse.

"The results came faster than I thought that they would," shared Dr. Bender, and I could tell by the sighing tone of his voice that this wasn't going to end well. I stiffened just like Darry when the doctor laid his emerald green eyes on me. "Ms. Prescott...you are pregnant. Your blood test came back with higher amounts of HCG and it all makes sense by each of your responses to the questions that I asked you."

I could've sworn I heard a loud, echoing CRACK...that was my heart breaking. Hot, steaming tears welded up in my eyes, and I didn't wait a single moment to lock my hands over my face to hide all of my pain, sorrow, shame, and embarrassment that was all wrapped up in one. I was pregnant...I was carrying a baby...but that baby wasn't just mine...it was created with Johnny's DNA, too. I was going to be a teenage mother...and Johnny was going to be a teenage father...oh my god...NO!

"This can't be true!" I whaled, allowing all of my salty tears to drench down my face like a billion rivers. "I just can't be pregnant! I'm too young; I'm just fifteen!"

"I'm afraid that the blood test proves everything, Ms. Prescott." Dr. Bender sighed.

That's when Darry took no hesitation to jump on in. I stand corrected...now I've never seen him so shocked before in my entire life.

"But it's true that sometimes blood tests can be mistaken. I would know; my family and I have wrong blood tests pretty much every time we get blood drawn." The oldest Curtis stated. "Doctor, is it possible that this could be just one mighty big misunderstanding?"

I peeked slightly through my fingers to notice Dr. Bender and the ginger nurse exchange some uncertain facial expressions.

"Well..." the ginger nurse said in a 'how should I put this' like voice. By the look of her nametag, I could see that her name was Nina. "It is a possibility for blood tests being incorrect from time to time, but it's extremely rare."

"...Not in my family, it isn't..." Darry promised, and I could've sworn if this was a joking matter, he would've been snickering right then and there.

Again, Dr. Bender and Nina exchanged their facial expressions, Dr. Bender's saying something like "What should we do?" while Nina just bit down on her bottom lip.

"If you'd like, I guess that I can have nurse Nina here take an ultrasound. How long ago did you have intercourse, Ms. Prescott?" Dr. Bender questioned, obviously curious.

I wiped away as many of my tears as I could with my balled up fists, and I sniffled out: "A week ago."

"And do you know who the father is? We can't have any kind of DNA testing until the baby is actually born." informed the doctor, and after he said the word 'Father,' I didn't wait to slowly fix my eyes on Darry. In return, he was giving me a sort of confused look that was as if he was silently asking me, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Yes...I know exactly who the father is..." I said, raising my eyebrows at Darry. It took him a moment or two to catch what I meant, but after thinking it through, his eyes went huge and his mouth formed a small 'O' shape. I'm afraid that I couldn't keep my half of the promise anymore. Darry could tell what I meant...Johnny was the father of the baby that was growing inside of me.

"Would you like an ultrasound? It might just be a week since the baby was made, but we should still be able to find the heart forming." Dr. Bender said.

"Yes, please." I eagerly nodded my head, and Darry needed to sit back down so he could digest the truth about Johnny and I.

"All right, Ms. Prescott. If you look behind you, you'll see a patient's bright yellow gown hanging there on the wall. Strip off all of your clothes, minus your underwear and bra, and nurse Nina here will be back in a few with the baby finder machine." Dr. Bender glanced at the ginger-haired nurse and slightly jerked his head twice out the door. She nodded in response and left the room. Behind her, Dr. Bender followed, but not without saying: "It was a pleasure doing business with you both."

After that, he closed the door behind him and I was left all alone with Darry all over again. I closed my eyes, expecting the eldest Curtis to leap up from his chair and holler at me, but to my surprise, all I got from him was silence. I slowly reopened my eyes, peeking over at Darry to see him still sitting in the chair, now chewing on his thumbnail.

"Darry?" I quietly said his name, but all I got in response for the first ten seconds was the continuous quietness.

"...Johnny is the father of that possible little breathing thing that's inside of your stomach?" Darry questioned, but his voice wasn't angry or anything like that at all. It sounded to me like he had the air knocked out of him or something. He was that shocked, but I didn't blame him.

"We don't know that for sure, Darry. I mean, yes...Johnny and I did do it, but we didn't mean to...and you said so yourself that blood tests could make mistakes." I gulped nervously as I slipped off my shoes and socks, but before going any further, I gave Darry a stare.

Without waiting for a single minute, Darry swirled his seat around so he could be staring directly at the corner that he was sitting in. It was as if he was a little child in a timeout.

"Yes, but you heard what the nurse said; it's very rare for a blood test to be incorrect. I have no idea why it's so common in my family, but maybe it's because my kid brothers are just plain nuts." Darry said. I swear, if I wasn't so scared, I would've been laughing at how the eldest Curtis just said that, staring at the wall and all.

"...Why did you and Johnnycake have it?" Darry hesitated before asking, just as I unzipped my jeans and allowed them to hit the floor.

I pouted, knowing that I would feel a desperate amount of guilt either way. If I told Darry, I would break my part of the promise to my boyfriend. However, if I didn't tell Darry, I'd still feel pretty guilty about how I was keeping such a huge secret from everybody in the gang, including Kendra, Charlie, and Iris.

"Do you promise to keep this all a secret, Dare?" I squeaked, taking off my top and dropping it to the floor. I didn't wait, feeling too exposed in the drafty hospital room to stand there for another second in just my bra and underwear. So, I grabbed the bright yellow patient's gown from where it was hanging on the wall like Dr. Bender instructed, and I slipped it on over my body. It looked just like a nightgown, but it felt absolutely like paper. It wasn't very comfortable, but I knew that I only had to deal with it for a few more minutes.

Darry sighed. "I guess I can for now, but the gang is goin' to find out sooner or later. I mean, if you really are pregnant, then your stomach will start showing a bit by the third or forth month in."

"I know, I know..." It was then my turn to sigh, and I climbed back onto the examination table. I sighed again, this one being heavier and a bit louder. "Johnnycake and I were actually plannin' to tell everyone that he had it at some point, but I guess with you right now is as good as time as any...when everyone was at school and work, Dally ended up takin' Johnny and I to Buck's previous party."

"What?" Darry cut me off, the tone of his voice a blustering gasp. I could tell he wasn't mad at me or Johnnycake though; he was upset with Dallas.

"Yeah...and after awhile of just sittin' there and trying to tune out all of the loud music and crazy people that were getting rip-roaring drunk and high as heck..." I hesitated so I could grasp another breath and release it as yet another sigh. "Johnny and I decided to get some alcoholic free drinks, but when we had some of the fruit punch that these two server guys gave to us...we didn't know that the punch was actually spiked. Before we knew it...I guess that we got drunk, and I woke up completely bare in one of Buck's rooms...Johnny woke up not so long after with nothing on himself."

I didn't need to see Darry's face to know how stunned he was about the story, but he didn't say anything back at first. I started to think that after hearin' the full story that he would be more furious with Dallas than at anybody else. Dally knew how much Darry hated anybody else, except Two-Bit going over to someplace absolutely reckless and dangerous like Buck's place, especially during one of his parties.

"...When are you exactly goin' to confess the pregnancy if it's true?" Darry questioned.

"Hey!" I snapped my fingers, my tone now serious. "We don't know if I'm really pregnant yet!"

"But if you are, you should know that life is never goin' to be the same. I'm not tryin' to put any stress on you or anythin', but teenage pregnancy is a rather difficult topic." informed the eldest Curtis.

I smacked my hand straight onto my forehead and ran it through my golden blonde hair. "I think I can already tell that, Darry...I know that school will never be the same...nothing in my life will be the same anymore...and same goes for Johnnycake if he even wants to stay together with me after getting pregnant with his child."

"Well, like you said before, we don't know if that blood test was incorrect. The ultrasound will set this all straight, but you should know that Johnny isn't like any other teenage boy. He won't ever ditch anybody, especially a girl. Knowing him, there is no doubt that he'll be shocked if it turns out that he will be a father, but he won't leave you or treat you any different. Nobody from the gang will; we all stick together no matter what."

"But what 'bout Dally? He hated me when we first met, remember? You know, because I'm a Regular? How will he feel 'bout Johnnycake, a greaser, giving it up to me, a Regular?" I worriedly questioned.

I didn't need to see Darry's face to know that he most likely just rolled his eyes at the mention of Dally.

"Don't worry 'bout Dal, Sondra. I'll make sure that he doesn't try anything; the whole gang will, actually. Sure, they'll all be stunned, but I was and I must admit that I still am, but that doesn't mean I hate you or anythin' like that. I was just caught off guard, and I know that the rest of the gang will be, too." Darry lectured me, but that still didn't erase my fear of Dally, or my new nervousness that was beginning to form because of Kendra, Charlie, and Iris.

"But what 'bout Charlie? Or Kenny? And even little Iris? If I actually am carryin' an infant, will that cause Charlie's demand for custody to go down?" I nervously asked, but to my surprise, Darry actually shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"Believe it or not, no," He stated. "A lot of courts have passed teenage pregnancy into the new guardian or guardians hands. As long as they help protect and raise the baby, it's fine in the court's eyes."

I opened my mouth to see if I could ask another question, but before I could, the door to my hospital room flew open again. Nurse Nina stood there, forcing a small grin as she pushed in what looked like a TV to me, and it was hooked up to this thing that kind of looked like a small; square shaped flashlight.

Darry stood back up and swirled the chair back around, right before he quickly closed the door behind the ginger-haired nurse. The gown wasn't really revealing, so I didn't mind Darry looking at me then, and I knew that he could tell that I didn't because he didn't move his eyes from my face.

"All right, Ms. Prescott," Nina instructed with a kind voice, just as she flipped some switches on the TV looking machine. "I'm just goin' to need you to lay down and allow me to unstrap the flap that's over the womb. Then I'll just use this thing," She showed me and Darry both the thing that I thought looked like a square shaped flashlight. "To see if you're really pregnant or not."

I nodded a single time, and then laid all the way down on the soft sheet. Darry stood near my head, brushing some of my strands of hair out of my face with his fingertips as I felt Nina unclothe the piece of the patient's gown that was over the womb. I forced a small smile at Darry, listening to my heart beat loudly in my chest. I could feel the square shaped flashlight thing slowly moving back and forth, up and down.

"Let's see here...hm...a heart, a heart...where is that little heart..." Nina started to hum a soft tune to herself, and I just attempted to relax and remain calm as I stared up at the ceiling. Nothing but silence filled the room, and Darry stroked my hair in a comforting manner.

"Do you see anythin', nurse?" I finally questioned, breaking the quietness. I began to grow calm some, thinking that the blood test really was a huge mistake.

"Um...I think...oh...wait a minute..." Nina's voice seemed to go from gentle and calm, to surprised and startled all of the sudden. That only had my nervousness returning.

"What is it, nurse?" Darry questioned, concerned.

"Well...I see not only one heart forming, but I also see two extra...three hearts are forming inside of you right now, Ms. Prescott." announced Nina.

"What?" I gasped at the top of my lungs, and she bit down on her bottom lip as she nodded.

"Take a look yourself." Nina told me and Darry as she pointed one of her long; red painted nails at the grayish screen. I squinted my eyes, focusing real closely on the picture.

"Oh my god..." Darry jaw seemed to actually drop all the way down to the floor. They might've been small, but after I laid my eyes on them, I noticed that Nina was right. I must've been whiter than a sheet after I rested my eyes on the three; tiny; peanut like hearts.

"I do see three hearts..." My huge eyes began to water all over again, and I choked out the words: "B-But that means...I'm not only pregnant, b-but..."

"Yep," Nina nodded her head. "You're having triplets."
