As soon as I heard Rachael knocking at the door, I left the silently awkward bedroom, and went downstairs to go and see her. I didn't have much to say still, because I was in too much shock at the minute.
I opened the front door, knowing that I still looked shocked, which was because I was. I didn't actually expect to be pregnant. Rachael grinned at me as I opened the door, but I couldn't quite fake a smile back yet.
''Are you alright Charlie? You look really pale, and shocked.'' Rachael commented worriedly. I managed a stiff nod, once and closed my mouth, not even knowing that it was still parted in shock.
I heard Rob quietly walk down the stairs but I was too scared to look at him, and catch the expression on his face. We were both still in shock, and by the sounds of it, he was trying to be quiet and sneak downstairs anyway.
''God Rob…you look like you've seen a ghost!'' Rachael commented, laughing in response, and rubbing her pregnant belly tenderly. I instantly dropped my gaze, unable to keep looking at that bump.
''Huh,'' I heard Rob comment back simply, sounding as though he didn't know what else to say. Rachael gave him a funny look, before shrugging it off and looked back to me, instantly worried again.
''Are you sure that you're alright hon?'' She asked me worriedly. I nodded, still not sure that I could speak. I was still in far too much shock to do anything right now. I felt like I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe properly….
''I think you should sit down, you look as though you're going to faint.'' She spelled it out for me, trying to get through the front door. My mind ticked, and realized that this wasn't a good idea. I had things to talk about with Rob. Alone.
''Nuh,'' I just about managed to get out, pushing her away from me, and trying to get her back through the front door. She wouldn't let me though of course, and I growled under my breathe in frustration.
''Charlie, you look really ill. Let me help you!'' She begged me, but I couldn't. there was absolutely nothing that she could do now. I shook my head in response, trying to get my head around this whole thing.
''Charlie-''
''-Let me.'' I gasped in shock as I heard Rob's voice from behind me. I looked round in shock as my legs gave way from underneath me. His face was hidden from emotion, his eyes were looking over me as he helped me up from Rachael.
''Is she okay?'' Rachael asked him worriedly as I looked back to see her looking as though she was close to tears.
I eyed her confused for a moment. ''I'm fine-'' I went to say just as my legs went flying from underneath me again, and blackness took over…
