A/N 2: Yeah when it comes to April's POV and stuff I'm gonna be a bit slower. This school is insanity when it comes to homework, it looks like my bag barfed on my desk right now… anyways, happy reading!
Will's POV
I get April something to eat and get her home. She lays down on the couch and falls asleep. I think it would be a good idea to call her doctor and explain what's really going on, since I know she didn't.
The phone rings three times before the woman picks up, "Dr. Richardson's office…"
"hi. It's Will Schuester.. I just wanted to let you know a few things about April" I tell her.
"okay…" the woman says, and I can hear a few clicks on a computer and her open a notebook.
"I'm not sure if she told you, but she was raped. And it caused her to get pregnant" I tell the woman.
"I was afraid of that. she was showing the signs" she explain.
"yeah… she had this bad boyfriend that hit her when she found out and then he proceeded to kick her out." I tell her.
"that would explain why she was so scared when I asked about her bruise"
"I know. She's scared out of her mind. I'm trying to help her as much as I can" I say. April's just so unsure of herself right now and of what she's doing it doesn't mix well with her hormones.
"it would help her a lot if you got her to talk more. She's got a lot on her mind…" the woman says.
I've been trying, but she just won't say anything. "sometimes she lets things slip, but I try to get her to talk about them. She just doesn't know what she wants to do about the baby"
"I was guessing that. she looked really scared" the woman says.
"She doesn't even know what she's going to do about a place to stay. She's been staying with me but she keeps saying she wants to leave" I reply.
"why?" the doctor asks.
"she's had a lot of bad boyfriends and thinks I'm too good to her" I explain.
"oh.." she says, but she doesn't sound surprised at all.
"her parents abandoned her when she was little. She never really had anybody to take care of her" I explain.
"that would explain why she looked so lost" the woman says.
She looks really lost. She has no idea what she's doing, or what she's going to do. Nobody's ever given her anything good so she's just used to the bad things. She just needs someone who can show her that there is something good.
"yeah. She needs a lot of support through this, she doesn't need to be alone" I say. I really want her to stay with me through this. But I'm afraid she might not.
"the last thing she needs is to be alone…" the woman tells me. being alone would be so scary for her I don't think she could handle it.
"I know. She needs someone that can help her understand what's gonna happen" I say. Maybe she could explain some things to April just so she knows.
"yeah. She acts like she can do it alone, but I don't think she can. She probably wouldn't even come to me" she replies.
"she hasn't had anything in a long time. it's been a while since she's been to the doctor" I tell her.
"when was the last time she's been to one?" she asks.
"I really don't know. She did say she was scared of doctors" I explain.
"oh.." the woman says, realizing that it had a lot to do with April's behavior in the office.
"I'll make sure she comes back to her next appointment. Don't worry about that.." I say, I know she needs to keep having things checked and we need to make sure the baby is growing.
"the only reason that I could get her to come back was that I wanted to make sure everything was okay" she explains.
"I know. She needs to keep coming…" I reply.
"okay. I can just tell she's terrified" the woman says, and I can hear her sigh. It's gonna take a lot to help April with this baby.
"yeah. She's not really sure what she's doing, so we've really gotta help her through this. I just thought it would help you if you knew what was really going on"
"yeah, it does. I was only guessing what happened" she says. Now she has a better idea of what she needs to talk about with April and that she really needs to explain things.
"I know. She's not a big talker and she's not used to people taking care of her" I tell her.
"I'm gonna talk to her and see if I can help her decide what she wants to do. And I'll let you know if she makes a decision" she says. That would be good if the doctor could explain her options to her. She might have an easier time figuring this out.
"okay. I'll talk to you later" I say, I think I hear April crying in the other room.
"alright. I'll see you at her next appointment.." the woman says.
"bye.." I say and we both hang up the phone.
I go in to the living room and April is sitting on the couch crying. "what's wrong sweetie?" I ask.
"I can't do this…" she cries.
I gently rub her back, "yes you can, you're not alone"
"I'm gonna be a bad mom…" she sadly says.
"no you won't, it's gonna be okay" I reassure her.
"I don't know how…" she tells me. She never had a mother figure in her life so she has no idea of what to expect, or what to do.
I gently squeeze her shoulder, "I'm gonna help you, I won't let anything bad happen"
She just cries, and leans into me. I gently rub her back in hopes of getting her to relax.
"try not to worry okay… you're gonna have people supporting you" I tell her.
"just you.." she quietly says.
I keep rubbing her back, "there will be other people to help you, I promise"
"like who?" she asks.
"I can always call my mom…" say. I know mom loves kids, and she's always liked taking care of people.
"why would your mom want to help me?" she asks, it almost sounded like her saying nobody would want to help someone like me…
"she wouldn't want you to do this alone.." I explain.
"I can't do this.." she doesn't know that. she's never had anybody tell her she could do anything, so it's hard for her.
I gently squeeze her shoulder, "yes you can… just try not to be so hard on yourself okay…"
"I can't…" she cries.
"just try sweetie, I promise you're not in this alone" I reassure her.
She just clings to me and cries. She desperately needs someone to be there for her, she's never had that before and I know that's one of the main reasons why she's so scared.
"but my parents were never there for me…" she says.
I gently rub her back, "I know sweetie, but it's gonna be okay. I promise…"
She just cries and buries her head in my shoulder. I know she's not feeling good, and she's scared. It's just not a good combination.
I hold her, "I won't let anything bad happen, you're safe with me…"
She just sobs in my shoulder and doesn't say anything.
"Shhh, just try to relax" I calmly say to her, rubbing her back.
"I can't…" she cries. She just doesn't know how. Nobody's ever done anything nice for her, or shown her what it's like to be wanted.
Pretty please with a cherry on top review? I KNOW you guys are reading this so you might as well tell me what you think. I've found a fair amount of hits on this so I know there's more than just my two alert people! Also it would really help if you did vote on that poll, I have no idea what to do since I only have FOUR FRICKEN VOTERS!
