I hope you enjoy this chapter. I would love some feedback on it...
The following morning Rosalyn rolled about in her bed. She felt a wave of nausea sweep over her as she cried to cool herself down. Her forehead felt feverish and now she felt sick, like burning bile rising in her throat. The blonde clambered out of her bed and ran across the landing to the bathroom. Ted and Bailey were just waking up when they heard the sound of someone violently throwing up in the bathroom.
"It's Rosalyn." Bailey whispered to her husband.
"What did you cook last night?" Ted asked her.
"Ted, I'm being serious here." The blonde frowned.
"What's your point?" Ted asked his wife.
"Well usually, if a girl is being sick at 6am and hasn't been drinking the previous night…" Bailey started but Ted cut her off.
"You think she's pregnant?" he whispered.
"It adds up. I know for a fact that Garrett didn't use any protection." Bailey replied.
"Oh jeez…" Ted ran his hands over his face.
"We need to find out." Bailey told him.
"How can we? She doesn't even remember losing her virginity." Ted shrugged.
"I know. How can she deal with that and then discover that there's more than one guy?" the blonde chewed her lip.
"Not to mention that one guy is a violent asshole and the other is her family friend." Ted added.
The couple sighed as they got out of their bed and went downstairs. Rosalyn sat at the kitchen table with a big glass of water, wearing her grey nightdress and pink ankle socks. Bailey stroked her daughter's hair and felt her forehead, which was quite warm. Ted put a pan on the stove to cook something for breakfast, causing his daughter to groan and place her head on the cool tabletop.
"Uh, I can't even think about food." She mumbled.
"That's ok, you go have a nice bath and I'll get your dad's breakfast out of the way." Bailey smiled at her daughter.
Rosalyn walked up the stairs and Ted gave his wife a curious look.
"What?" she shrugged.
"You can't tell her anything." He warned her.
"I know that. I'm not going to say anything." Bailey replied.
"Maybe we should call the hospital." Ted suggested.
"Ok." His wife nodded.
After breakfast Ted went to check on his daughter while Bailey called the hospital. They got Dr. Bryce to call her back.
"How can we find out properly?" Bailey asked him after she had finished explaining things.
"Well, we did take blood, so we can test that to see. We did also take other samples but they wouldn't show up properly this early on in a pregnancy." He replied.
"Thank you." Bailey said as she hung up.
That afternoon Garrett turned up after he hadn't heard from Rosalyn. Ted and Bailey didn't mention anything about their suspicions. They told him that she was feeling sick, but that he could go up and see her. The young man walked up to see that the door of Rosalyn's room was open. She was lying in her bed with her blonde hair pulled into a loose ponytail. She smiled when she saw Garrett.
"Hey." She sighed.
"Sorry you're not feeling too good." Garrett smiled apologetically.
"I was up early. I was really sick." The blonde pulled a face.
"Oh, that's too bad." He frowned.
"I feel better now. I was just really nauseous." The blonde explained.
"I'm glad you're feeling better." Garrett smiled and hugged her.
He broke away and looked at her sitting up in her t-shirt and shorts. She looked so innocent and unaware of everything that had gone on before. Poor Rosalyn, after all that she got sick, he thought.
"How's the training going?" she asked him.
"Great. Can't you tell?" he frowned.
"I don't know. Let me see." Rosalyn shrugged.
"Here." Garrett said, lifting his shirt to show off his abs.
"Nice." The blonde nodded and grinned.
Rosalyn knew that she shouldn't be thinking about Garrett like this. When he flashed her his abs, she felt things that she had never experienced before. All she wanted to do was to have him as close to her as possible, and kiss his lips with all the passion that she could muster up. He would probably be mortified if he knew what she had been thinking, she thought. They were almost family and it was just wrong to think of him in any other way.
"You look like you have something on your mind." Garrett said.
"I do." She nodded.
"You can speak to me if you want." He told her.
"Have you ever had feelings for someone, but you could never actually be together?" Rosalyn asked him.
"I have." He replied honestly.
"What did you do to get over it?" the blonde asked him.
"Nothing. I'm not over it." Garrett replied.
"Sorry." She sighed.
"For what?" he asked her.
"I shouldn't have brought it up. You'll be sad now." The blonde frowned.
"It's ok." He told her, placing a hand on top of hers. He hoped that she would realise.
Rosalyn felt sparks of electricity as he touched her hand. He shouldn't have done that. Now she was imagining how it would feel for him to touch her body. The blonde sighed as she tried to throw the thoughts out of her mind. Garrett would never want her the way that she wanted him right now. Why would he? She was nothing special, plus she was almost a sister to him. If ever there was a reason not to pursue someone, then that was it.
"I'll leave you to rest." Garrett smiled and stood up.
"Ok, thanks for coming to see me." She smiled. Her head was screaming for him not to leave her.
"If you need anything, just let me know." He told her.
"I will." Rosalyn replied. You Garrett, I need you… she thought.
What do you think?
PLEASE REVIEW! XXX
So, she has feelings for Garrett now. She can't remember him having feelings for her though...
Do you think that Rosalyn is pregnant? If she was would it be Garrett or Tommy's baby?
