Story 6: I'm Late

When Zoe might be pregnant.

Zoe POV:

As I was cleaning my purse, I grab a tampon and realize that I should have had my period a week ago. I ran into the living room where Alfie was and told him I was late. He said "late for what?" I said no dummy I'm over a week late for my period. Alfie jumped up and held me. He said "Zoe let's go to the store and get a pregnant test." I said sure and I grab my keys.

We drove to the store and I went to the aisle where the pregnant tests were. While Alfie went to shop for food. There were so many to pick from. I started to have a panic attack. I sat down on the floor and yelled for Alfie. Alfie ran over. He held me and talk to me. His voice help calm me down. After 10 minutes we grabbed a few tests and we checked out. We drove back home.

When we got back into the house I laid down for a bit. After a few hours I was fully calm down and ready to check out the tests. Alfie and I were in the bathroom looking at them. I decide that I would use two of them to make sure that both tests had the same results. Alfie said "Zoe I'll be right outside of the door." He also said "just yell when you're ready for me to come back in." Alfie walked out and closed the door.

I started to pee on the first test and then I put it down on the counter. Next I pee on the second test and I also put it down on the counter. I put a timer on for two minutes and waited, which seem to last forever. I thought to myself what if I am pregnant. I also thought two questions to myself. Am I ready to be a mother? Will Alfie be excite for a baby now? As I was thinking about having a baby the timer ding.

I yelled for Alfie to come in which he did. I told him to grab one test and I will grab the other. Alfie said "Zoe on the count of three and we'll look OK." I said OK. Alfie counted "1, 2, and 3." We both look at our tests and it read no on both. Alfie smile but I was a little sad because I think I wanted to be pregnant. Alfie looked at me and said "Zoe why are you sad?" I told Alfie I wanted it to say yes. He said "I thought we both didn't want to be parents until we're married." I hugged him and said that he was right, we should wait to have children until we're married. He give me a kiss and went into the living room to watch TV.

I threw away the tests in the trash and went to cook dinner. As we were eating our dinner, Alfie said "Zoe even thou you're not pregnant, I know you would make a wonderful mother." I smile at him and said Alfie you would make a wonderful father. We both smile at each other and continue eating our meal. After dinner we watch some TV and I was thinking about what an eventful day I had today. A few hours later we went to bed. Two days later I got my period. I realize I was happy with my life and I wasn't ready for a baby now. But someday when I am marry to Alfie; I know we'll be great parents.
