There might not be many dialogs just me telling the story from points of views. This is for the Jerome fans out there, this chapters has many of his views of this situation and a little bit of Mara so you guys still know what's going on with her.
JEROME POV
I thought about it for a long time while I was waiting outside the bathroom for Mara. She wanted to take the pregnancy tests right away when we got them, so she had asked the lady to use the bathroom. We got all sorts of brands but only the best ones and most accurate ones like First Response pregnancy test, we bought like 3 of those because Mara trusted that mark better, the other two that we bough were CLEARBLUE and E.P.T. We had to wait at least 20 minutes until we got the results and one said negative 3 said positive "the only cross sign that is so unholy" I said which made Mara slap me on the shoulder, which actually hurt a little. The last one had a cross sign which was the one that took the longest to should I say "load." In many ways I was scared not knowing what would happen because, Mara didn't get her period for the last 1 ½ that she was suppose to get at least thats what she told me so we had no idea. For one if the negative sign was right we were off the hook and we had learned our lesson use more protection. But if the positive sighs were correct then we are screwed, I mean we couldn't give the baby away Mara didn't feel right about that and I didn't feel right having an abortion. Yet, if we were to keep it, it would be impossible to take care of it, although I had a feeling that this baby meant something towards me something much deeper than what I would imagine it to be.
Mara POV
I didn't know what to think it was so… so … weird. I mean just last week I was a happy goody good girl who ended up having many surprises in one night without knowing there would be, but now… another one I try to believe the negative sign which was ironic since I never looked on the negative side of things before. But this time it was an exception, but 4 against 1 yea it was something I would never thought I would be PREGNATE. I was scared… I mean what's going to happen now, I mean for one thing I dint even know who was the father in reality neither did Jerome but we assumed it to be his, but we both knew that there could be still be a chance that it could be Mick's.
Jerome POV
After we left the Minnie mart we discussed everything to the finest detail, to how this was going to work out. I had told Mara that I had money in my bank account for her monthly check ups, doctor stuff and baby needs; since mom would always put a minimum of 6 grand in there every week, it would be her way of saying "sorry for leaving you here." But I rarely would spend any of it, I mean if my mom wouldn't even care if I had a son/daughter she would probably just start putting more money in there probably another way of her saying "sorry but I won't be there for my grandchild or you so here is the money plus a the house we have up in London" yup! That probably would be her problem solver. Mara looked surprised at me and asked if I had that kind of money we could hire a baby sitter for the hours we were at school, but I said that I didn't want that I wanted this child to be love no matter what. We also had to discuss if we were to tell anybody Mara already told me that the girls would back her up but me I was all alone. The exception of Alfie and Fabian well we weren't that close so he probably find out through Nina anyway. Mick on the other hand could rat us out to Victor or Trudy unless of course he thought the baby was his. Mara and I thought of that idea telling Mick the baby was his and I was paying just to be a good mate, but I told Mara I couldn't see him caring for my kid (of course she did remind me that there was still a chance it was his, but neither of us like that idea) like it was his and kissing Mara as if he had everything when in reality it was all mine. So we didn't go with that idea, so first things first was to go tell our most trusted friends the truth of course not including Mick, and see if they had any ideas that still included school for us and making sure that neither Mick, Trudy nor Victor found out.
Please review and comment I know this chapter might long, but it was something I needed to out there. Hope you guys keep reading.
ps The line that Jerome got "The only cross sign that is so unholy" is something from Juno, I love that movie anyways this quote is frome when Juno finds out she is pregnant and says "There it is that cross sign is so unholy" I dunno if those are the exact words cause its been a while since I watched it but its colse enough..I dont own Juno :b
