Noodle's eyes grew with surprise. She looked at the results on the little stick again to make sure. There was definately a plus sign on it. Noodle was getting so worried. What was Johnny going to think? He was the father after all. Noodle knew that they should've used protection. But they never did during all the times they had sex. Also, what was the band going to think? Their tour was coming up in a few more months. Would the tour be canceled because of this? First things first, Noodle had to tell Johnny since he was partly responsible.

"You're what?" Johnny asked in shock.
"I'm pregnant Johnny," Noodle said again. "And you're the father."
"Well I think it's best that we go see a doctor," Johnny suggested.
"Good idea," Noodle agreed. "We'll go check to see if the baby is fine."
"No, that's not why we're going," Johnny said. "We're going to go see if you can get an abortion."
Noodle's jaw dropped at what Johnny said. Abortions were something Noodle was strongly against. She detested anyone who was an abortionist or in her words, a baby killer.
"I don't want to get an abortion," Noodle said.
"But it's the best thing to do sweetie," Johnny replied.
"It is not," Noodle stated. "It's murder to an unborn infant. It is against my nature."
"But love, we're too young to take care of a child," Johnny explained. "We're only sixteen, we aren't responsible enough. Plus, what about the band? You won't have time to play if you keep the baby."
"I guess that makes sense," Noodle said thinking over what Johnny just said.
"I just want what's best for us," Johnny stated.

Noodle and Johnny were in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. Noodle decided that she would get an abortion. She didn't want to do it, but if Johnny thought it was the right thing to do then it must've been. When arriving at the clinic, the couple saw a group of people outside of the building. They had signs that said things like,
"Don't kill your baby!"
"You're irresponsible if you don't want to be responsible!"
And many other things. How Noodle wished to join the protesting people. Before entering the building, the protestors yelled at Johnny and Noodle and called them, "Baby killers." Noodle almost bursted into tears when the people called her that.
"Noodle?" a young female nurse called out in the waiting room.
"That's me," Noodle said to the nurse.
"The doctor is ready to see you." the nurse stated.
Noodle nodded to the nurse and then turned to Johnny.
"Are you sure about this?" Noodle asked her boyfriend.
Johnny took Noodle's hand and squeezed it gently.
"Everything will be fine," he told her. "Trust me."
sorry if this chapter is short but i think i did a good job. the part about the protestors, i got the idea after seeing the same thing on my way home. a couple walked into an abortion clinic and a group of people started yelling at them. okay bye.
