CHAPTER 57:

Another 3 hours had passed and it was now 6PM when Roman was waiting for AJ to finish packing. "Bryan just called me" he said as he walked up to her. "He should be pulling up here within the next 5 minutes". "Ok" said AJ. "I'll be back Ima go start pulling the luggage into the hallway" said Roman. After he left, AJ removed the pregnancy test that she had been hiding in her dresser drawer and she carefully began to tuck the unopened box into her suitcase.

"I really hope this isn't necessary" she said to herself. AJ zipped up her luggage and she began to roll it out of her hotel bedroom when she paused. "Fuck this" she said to herself. "I need to know now". Her heart began to pound as she furiously began to unzip the suitcase to get the pregnancy out. After zipping the luggage back up she ran into the bathroom and preceded to begin reading to instructions.

"Urinate onto testing trip and place steadily down onto….blah, blah, blah and wait 3 minutes for the results to pop up" she said to herself. After reading the back of the box, she sighed as she walked over towards the toilet to begin the process of taking the test and afterwards she left the test still on the countertop as she cleaned up.

Her phone began to ring and it was Roman on the other hand. "You alright baby?" he asked. "I think I see Bryan and Brie pulling up to the front now. Are you coming?" "Yeah, yeah" said AJ. "It's just that my stomach was acting up again. I'm sorry". "No baby, it's ok" said Roman. "Just take your time. Ima start loading the stuff into the van and I'll come up and meet you alright?" "Ok" said AJ as she hung up and sighed. She glanced at her watch.

"30 more seconds" she thought to herself as looked at her the calendar as she began counting down from March 1rst and as she landed on today, the alarm went off. "Here goes nothing" she said as she stood up and snatched the test off of the counter. AJ had the test tightly clinched in her hands as she inhaled deeply and revealed the results to herself.

Positive+, 3 weeks :-)

"Holy shit!" she said. "This can't be happening". AJ picked up the box and continued reading the box. "Remember it is highly recommended to see a physician to make sure that these results are 100% accurate" it read. AJ sighed. "Too bad I don't need a doctor since according to this I'm 25 days pregnant already" she said sarcastically. With that she heard the front door unlock. "April!?" Roman called out. "April are you here!?"

AJ quickly stood up and quickly wrapped up the test and box in toilet paper and threw it into the garbage and stepped out of the bathroom to see Roman. "Hey I'm ready now" she said. "You're alright?" he asked. "Yeah, yeah I um was just starting my period that's all" AJ lied. "I needed to go and take care of that". "Well I'm just glad that you're now starting to finally feel better" said Roman. "Come on, let's go before Bryan busts a capillary". AJ half smiled as Roman lead the two out of the hotel room.

"How in the hell am I supposed to tell him?" she thought. "How am I….pregnant?"

The couple got downstairs and headed into the car that Bryan was driving. "It's nice to see that you two have finally showed up" he said as he glanced at his watch. "It's now 6:29 and we still have time to hopefully beat the rush hour traffic". "I'm terribly sorry but nature did call" said AJ as she got into the backseat with Roman. "Are you alright?" asked Brie.

"Yeah of course" said AJ. "Ok next stop: JFK Airport" said Bryan. "To Queens!" shouted Brie. "To Queens!" everyone shouted except AJ who was struggling to keep her composure. She after all had no idea what she was going to do, especially since she just realized an important factor: who's baby was she carrying?
