"Calleigh, are you feeling all right?" Maella asked noticing how pale the girl was.
"I ate something wrong."
"o.k., but what?"
"I don't know, maybe the sandwish I had at school."
"Do you want a tea?"
"No, don't worry."
"Are you sure you're o.k.?"
"The girl nodded getting up to put the dishes in the washer."
"Calleigh!" She rushed when Calleigh's limp body felt in the floor shattering the glass of water that was in her hand. "Calleigh c'mon, wake up!."
Her eyes fluttered open as she groaned.
"Ow."
"Calleigh?"
"Why are you leaning over me?"
"Are you alright?"
"I think I hit my head, what happened?"
"You passed out!"
"Oh."
"what happened, are you o.k.?"
"Yeah."
"C'mon, let's get you to a doctor, this is not normal."
"No!"
"Calleigh?"
"It's just my blood pressure."
"I don't think so."
"It is." She insisted forcing a smile.
"Calleigh what is it?"
"What is what?"
"Don't you hide things from me."
"I'm not hiding anything."
"Then come to the hospital."
"No."
"Calleigh!"
"It's nothing." She muttered looking at her feet getting up.
"C'mon, you can tell me."
"No."
"Are you sick? Is that it?"
"No."
"what is it sweetheart?"
"It's nothing."
"I'll drag you to the hospital."
"Don't please."
"then tell me what's going on, please sweetheart, tell me."
"Promise you won't tell aillin."
"I promise, what is it?"
"i…i…maybe…"
"calligh, stop stuttering and just say it already."
"I might be pregnant."
"w-what?"
"Don't kill me please."
"No… ah… o.k., what makes you say that?"
"I'm late."
"How much late?"
"2 months."
"And you think you're pregnant?"
"I haven't taken a test yet."
"You're never late."
"I know that."
"You didn't take a test at all?"
"No, I didn't want to know the result."
"o.k., have you drink alcohol?"
"You know it."
"And you were on medication because of your rib."
"Yeah."
"You need to go to a doctor."
"No no no"
"Calleigh!"
"All right."
"C'mon, let's go."
"Good morning, which one of you is Calleigh Duquesne?"
"Me."
"o..k., what brings you here?"
"She's pregnant."
"Have you taken one of those farmacie tests?"
"No."
"Then what makes you think that?"
"She's 2 months late."
"It doesn't means that you're pregnant."
"No?" Calleigh asked hopefully.
"No, but you probably are."
"Oh."
"Besides being late, any other symptom?"
"Sickness."
"She passed out today."
"For how long?"
"2 minutes or so."
"o.k., did you experienced any abdominal pain in the last month?"
"No."
"o.k., do you practice any sports?"
"Football?"
"Drink coffee?"
"Yeah."
"A lot?"
"A couple a day."
"Alcohol?"
"I'm sixteen, it's illegal."
"I know, do you drink alcohol?"
"Beer with the meals."
"And out of meals?"
"Not much."
"Do you have lunch at school?"
"Yes."
"When you don't what do you use to eat pizza?"
"Humhm."
"All right, have you felt tired lately?"
"Hum… maybe, I got this new job, waitressing, so I get home more tired."
"Are you under any kind of stress?"
"n-no, I don't think so."
"I'll have to collect some blood."
"o.k."
"are you in any medication?"
"No, but I was a month ago."
"What?"
"Tylenol, I cracked a rib."
"So?
"You're pregnant."
Calleigh swallowed hard.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"How far?"
"Almost 2 months."
"When was the b- it conceived?"
"The baby was conceived at the first week January."
"Not a week later then?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes kid. Now, you can't drink coffee, you can't even touch alcohol, no smoking or being near people who are smoking, no raw meat, even if it's fish, like sushi or something, don't eat homemade cheese or milk or something like that. You should avoid spicy food and carbonated sodas and artificial sweeteners. You can eat sweets, but not many of them."
"o.k."
"Are you going to keep the baby?"
"I don't know."
"You kids. You have sex without protection, and then you get pregnant and then what? You never thought about it did you?"
"Hey!"
"You don't know anything! Calleigh shouted running out."
"Thanks a lot."
"She has to come back here Monday 2nd at 3 p.m.
"What for?"
"Check up on her and I have to do a sonogram."
"May I do it now? The girl asked peeking from the door."
"Hey."
"May I?"
"Lay down and lift your shirt."
"o.k."
….,.,.,.,
"are you that nervous?"
"Yeah, what I he doesn't want the baby?"
"Do you want it?"
"What?"
"Do you want the baby?"
"I… yes, I mean, I don't want to do an abortion, and adoption… then the kid ill think I didn't wanted him or her."
"And you want?"
"Humhm." Calleigh agreed smiling at her stomach.
"Then do it, even if Eric doesn't want the baby, you do."
"Thank you."
"Hey there!" Came a shout from the entry making Calleigh jump a little glaring at the door.
"What?"
"You scared us!2 Maella scolded.
"Sorry."
"What's up?" Aillin asked.
"Nothing, how was your day?" Calleigh rushed ignoring Maella's glance.
"Great."
"Who won?"
"Dolphins."
"Hum."
"What about you, how was your girls day?"
"Hum…ah… good I think."
"Okaaay, what happened?"
"You better sit."
"Cal."
"Both of you."
"Hi there people!" Another shout came straddling everyone.
"Save by the bell" Maella muttered.
"What's up?"
"Calleigh was about to tell us something."
"Oooohhh, what? Maxine asked leaning to the couch.
"Just sit please."
"Little one, what's going on?"
"I'm pregnant." Calleigh blurted flinching with her eyes closed.
"w-wha-what?" Aillin stuttered.
"I'm sorry."
"For how long?" Natalia asked.
"2 months."
"2!?"
"y-yes."
"YOU GOT HER PREGNANT!" Aillin shouted furiously pushing Eric who felt not even reacting.
"Stop it!" Calleigh screamed rushing to Aillin.
"Step aside little one."
"No!"
Natalia quickly grabbed Calleigh pulling her back.
"Let me go!"
"Calleigh, stay away c'mon.
"Aillin, leave the kid alone please."
"He got her pregnant!"
"Please not now. Let's get out c'mon, let them talk."
"No way, they want to talk do it in front of me."
"Aillin!"
"What?" Eric mumbled finally getting up.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Oh my god."
"You dare o walk away from this and this broom ends up in your head." Natalia threatened.
"a-are you sure?"
Calleigh nodded handing him the sonogram.
"Oh my god." he repeated.
"Is it the weird thing in the center?" Maxine asked squinting to the picture.
The girl nodded tears in her eyes.
"Oh my god."
"Stop saying that already." Maxine spat.
"i… I need… I need some air." Eric rushed running out of the house.
…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,…,.,
Eric gasped when a punch hit him followed by something hitting his head.
"Ow!"
"Bastard!"
"What the hell!?"
"You left!"
"I needed air, I said that!"
"I don't care, you ran away."
"I did not, I went outside for just 10 minutes, I needed to think about this."
"Where did you go?"
"Just walked down the street."
"Are you o.k.? Calleigh asked slowly.
"Yes, are you?"
"Humhm."
"I… hum… how are we going to do this?"
"We?" She smiled.
"Yes Cal, it's my baby too."
"Yeah."
"So, what will we do?"
"I want to keep it."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. "
"Are you sure?"
"You don't want to?" she questioned her voice quivering.
"I do! I do."
"o.k."
"Then…"
"If you're doing it then you have to tell your parents Eric." Maella sipped in.
"O.k., that's going to be a big step."
"You scared kid?"
"No. what did the doctor say?"
"She gave me a list of what to do and not to, and I have to go there in 2 weeks.
"o.k."
"Hey Cal, may we see the pic.?"
"Sure."
Natalia grabbed the sonogram from Eric's hands went to her room getting ducktape and a photo album.
"What's that for?"
"Baby album, it's the kids first picture."
"They chuckled, Eric sitting down and pulling Calleigh to his lap.
"We have a kid, I'm going to be a daddy."
"I'm going to be a mommy. Oh my god, I have to give birth!"
"Ouch."
"I know!"
"Are you freeking out right now?"
"Yes!"
