A week had passed. Riley was still feeling sick. She was happy that today was Friday. She was meeting up with John tonight. She was going to be a little late meeting him because she had a doctor's appointment after school. Riley and Ashley were at lunch. The waitress came up to the table.
"What can I get for you?" She asked.
"I'll have a salad." Ashley said.
"I'll have a double cheeseburger with ketchup, fries and a chocolate milkshake."
"Coming right up." The waitress said. She walked away.
"I thought you didn't feel well." Ashley said.
"I don't." Riley said. "I'm starving though."
"Do you wanna hang out tonight?"
"I can't." "I have plans."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm meeting my boyfriend, ok?"
"Boyfriend?" "More like a pathetic excuse for a man."
"He's a good man."
"Right."
"He is." "You don't know him."
"You know who's a good man?" "Jesse." "He likes you."
"Under different circumstances I'd be interested but I'm not."
"All because of that loser that fills your head with lies."
"He's not a loser." "I love John."
"John?" "That's his name huh?"
"Oh shit, I didn't mean to say that."
"What's his last name?"
"That's not important."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Why?"
"No one can know who he is."
"Why?" "Why is he so damn important?"
"I don't wanna talk about it anymore."
"What is he a spy or something?"
"No."
"Does he work for the mob?"
"No."
"Is he someone famous?"
"No."
"He is isn't he?"
"Ashley."
"Wait." "His name is John?"
"Ashley stop." "Please let's talk about something else."
"You told me he lives in Florida. Ashley took out her cell phone. "According to Google that's where a John lives. "John Cena." "Oh my god." She said shocked. "It's him isn't it?" "You're having an affair with him?"
"Don't be ridiculous." "Yes I'm dating someone named John but it's not John Cena."
"I don't believe you." "Come on, tell me."
"No."
After lunch Riley went back to school. She went to the faculty bathroom and threw up. She went into her classroom.
"Sorry I'm late." She said.
"Miss Bennett, are you ok?" One of the girls asked.
"Fine."
After school Riley went to the doctor. The doctor examined her. Now she was waiting on her test results. After about twenty minutes the doctor came back in.
"Well you're going to be alright." The doctor said.
"Good."
"You're pregnant."
"Excuse me?"
"You're pregnant." "About five weeks."
"Oh my god." "Um, my pregnancy is the result of an affair I've been having."
"Are you planning on keeping the baby?"
"I'm not sure." "I need to talk to the father."
"Alright I'm going to give you some pre-natal vitamins."
"Ok."
Riley left the doctor and went straight to the hotel. She was still in shock. She took a deep breath and went into the hotel room. John was waiting for her.
"Hi baby." He said.
"How are you feeling?"
"Still the same." She sat down.
"Well I brought you soup and cold medicine." "I'll gonna take care of you." He could tell something was wrong. "What's wrong?" "What did the doctor say?"
"She said, that I'm pregnant."
"Oh my god." He said shocked. "How far along?"
"Five weeks." "John, I wanna keep it." "You never have to be involved." "I'll raise it alone." "I'll make up a cover story for the father."
"Riley, of course I wanna be involved."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Alright." "John if you're gonna be involved you have to choose."
"Choose?"
"I'm sorry but it has to be me or Nikki." "No both of us anymore." "I'm not doing that to my baby."
"Ok."
"I'll give you time to decide but I want an answer before the baby comes."
