Dani's p.o.v
2 weeks later
It's been good, really good. Things are working out great. I love living with Derek and Cora. Stiles and Scott drop in quite alot, we've even had Melissa and John over for dinner along with the rest of our family earlier in the week. I was not prepared for this phone call though.
"Hey Cora" I answer my phone as I walk through the supermarket, stomach tickling with hunger.
"D-Dani? Okay, um..okay, I need to tell you something" Cora stutters. I stop, focusing all my attention to the phone. Something's wrong.
"Cora. What happened?" I ask her.
"I-I don't know for sure yet but I..i'm late. Like a week late and i'm freaking out" she panics.
"Okay, hey, hey, hey. Calm down" I say. I can hear her stressed breathing, quick and shallow. "Cora, where are you?" I ask her.
"I'm at home, i'm in my room" she says.
"Okay, have you uh..have you taken a test?" I ask, not stating what kind of test as I don't want to freak her out even more. She knows what i'm talking about.
"No" she sighs.
"I'm at the supermarket..want me to get one?" I ask her quietly, looking around to make sure noone can hear me.
"If you could, i'd really appreciate it" she says.
"Okay, I will. I'll bring it up as soon as i'm home. Is he there? Is Derek home?" I ask her.
"No, he-he left to go to the bank for the rental payment papers 15 minutes ago" she says.
"Okay, well he should be awhile so we'll be okay" I nod. "I'll be home in 10 minutes tops alright?"
"Okay, thank you so much for this" she says, sniffing back tears.
"It's no problem Cor, just relax okay? We'll figure something out"
"Okay, see you soon"
"Bye" we both hang up. I make quick work of buying something to snack on and a pregnancy test. My hands are shaking as I drive home, hell even i'm nervous. This is nerve-wracking. I woke up early and came to the supermarker to buy something to eat as i'm too lazy to cook this morning. It was a quick run in, I didn't expect it to go like this. I didn't expect this at all. I practically run up the loft stairs, bolting up to Cora's room. She's pacing in her room. She hugs me tightly when she sees me. I pull back, going into my bag and pulling out a box, holding it out to her. She looks at it nervously. "I know but..you have to make sure" I say. She takes it with shaky hands. "You uh..you know what to do?" I ask her. She chuckles shakily.
"I've got a pretty good idea" she says. "Could you wait in here?" she asks me.
"Of course" I smile, sitting down on her bed. She gives me a nervous smile before going into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. Time ticks by so slowly. Like excrutiatingly slowly. The bathroom door finally opens, Cora walks out, looking down at the test. I sit up properly, looking at her. "Cora?" I call out. She looks up at me with watery eyes. She sighs in relief, a few tears falling.
"Negative" she says. I smile, sighing in relief myself. I get up and hug the girl. She's pretty shaken up. It's not that she couldn't be a mother, I just don't think she's ready to be a mother.
"Jesus Cora, you scared the crap out of me" I say as she hugs me tightly.
"I scared the crap out of myself" she sighs. We pull back and I give her a soft smile.
"Please be careful with Boyd alright? For your own sake" I say. She nods, tossing the box and test into her bin. She falls onto her bed, body slumped, the stress and worry draining out of her. I sit down next to her, rubbing her back. She was really scared, I can't blame her.
"If you don't mind me asking.." Cora says, turning her head to look at me. "Have you been through all that before?" she asks.
"Yeah.." I admit shyly.
"Sorry, you just knew what you were doing so I figured" she says.
"No, it's okay. I'm glad I could help" I tell her. I take a deep breath, deciding to open up a little myself. "A little while ago, when I was 16..i'm not proud of this at all" I start, Cora giving me her attention. "My Uncle said some things that really upset me. So I went out clubbing with my so called 'friends'. It didn't matter I was underage, they gave me drinks and I ended up meeting a guy. I wanted to throw my Uncle's words back in his face so..so I slept with that guy" I say ashamedly. "He was 19, gross, I know" I sigh. "And I thought I was pregnant because we didn't use anything. I really dodged a bullet with that. I'm lucky I didn't catch anything from the douche either. Just..just be careful" I tell her.
"Thanks, and I will" she smiles. "You know, after we talked the other week, I went and saw Boyd. I told him I loved him" she grins. I smile widely.
"That's great Cora" I say honestly.
"Things moved fast from there" she admits sheepishly. I chuckle at her awkwardness. "He's always so good at-"
"No, no, don't tell me" I stop her, making her laugh lightly. Cora nods, yawning. "After all that, you must be tired. Get some more sleep Cora" I say. She smiles.
"Okay" I get off her bed, heading for her door. "Thanks Dani, for everything"
"It's okay" I smile, shutting her door behind me. Phew. Crisis averted.
