Chapter 27:

When we get back Christian has to go back to his apartment to do some work so I'm sat watching an episode of Friends when I start doing some math in my head. Wait a minute, this can't be right. My eyes widen and I take out my phone as fast as I can without dropping it. "Hello-"

"-Kate meet me at the pharmacy in ten minutes. It's a code red situation. I repeat, a code red situation." I hang up before she can reply and grab my keys, making my way out the door.

We're sitting in the bathroom at my apartment in silence when Kate says, "Ana you're probably not it'll be fine."

"Will it? Will it!" I know I'm getting panicky and over dramatic but I feel crazy right now.

"Calm down Steele. You're going into the bad place!" She raises her hands up and and down gesturing for me to calm down.

"I'm trying Kate but I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out! I'm twenty one, I can't do this yet. I can't do this." I run my hands through my hair and Kate grabs my face.

"Now listen. I think you're over reacting, it'll be fine. But if it isn't and you are, then you have to tell Christian-"

"-But I-"

"-Lips moving still talking!" I roll my eyes at her. "You have to tell Christian because whatever happens he will support you through everything. He loves you so much that even if a higher power were to tell him to leave you he would say hell no and kick their ass. You have to be strong Ana. If you are, there are ways that you can deal with it." I look at her with worried eyes.

"You mean - the A word?" I say, in a small voice. She nods.

"Either of them. Could you give it away if you were?" She holds my hands and squeezes them.

"I don't know. I don't think I could go through all of that and then just give it away to some stranger." She nods in understanding.

"What about the other A word?"

"Oh god I don't think so. Like, it's not my life, it would be my fault it's there and I couldn't just kill it because of my mistake." She nods again. Then she hops up after a while.

"Can you just pee on the damn stick Ana?!" She shouts then apologises.

"Ok. I'll do it." Kate stands in the doorway while I pee on the stick. We go to the living room to wait for it. After a few second of silence I throw my hands up in the air. "Oh my god this is the longest two minutes of my life!"

"Just relax Steele. You'll be fine, just breathe. You don't want to stress out the baby." I shoot her a look and she moves back. "Ok I get it. Too soon, not funny, alright." We sit for another couple of minutes and the timer on my phone goes off. "Shit. Do you want me to read it?" I nod and she takes it from the counter. She looks at me then the test then back at me again. "It's positive." Suddenly I feel my world crashing down around me.

"Positive? It's positive? No, no it can't be. I can't do this! What the fuck am I going to do? What am I going to tell Christian? My parents, oh god my parents. Shit, oh fuck! I can't do this! Oh my god I can't do this. I'm still in college what am I going to do? It's positive?" Kate looks at me.

"No it's negative." I stare at her.

"What?" She smirks at me.

"It's negative. You're not pregnant."

"What? Are you sure?"

"Well yeah I lied before. Great news huh?" She stands up and holds her arms out for a hug but I just stand there and she looks a bit awkward. "Ok, feeling like this wasn't the best thing to do." She keeps looking at me. "Well I'm gonna set this down." She puts the stick on the table. "I'm gonna wash my hands then hopefully you won't be weird. Can't believe I touched your pee stick. The things I do for you girl." She murmurs as she walks to the bathroom. I walk over, sit down on the sofa and pick up the stick. She was right, it's negative. I feel a wave of relief flood over me then the door opens and I turn to see Christian smiling at me.

"Hey baby, what's that?" He says, looking at the stick. I panic and throw it under the sofa.

"Nothing!" Little do I know the sofa has no back and the test has slid out from underneath the sofa to right in front of his feet.

"Ana." He says, with warning in his tone. He bends down and picks it up. "What the fuck is this." I close my eyes and he steps forward. "I won't ask you again Anastasia, what the fuck is this?" I stand up and turn around.

"It's a - candy stick for a dip dab?" I try and defuse his cold stare but he doesn't stop.

"Don't bullshit me Anastasia." He can clearly see what it is but he wants me to say it. I know he does. I look down at the floor.

"It's a pregnancy test." I whisper, my voice barely audible.

"What?" His voice is raising and I know by now Kate has washed her hands and is probably sitting on the sink terrified to come out because of Mr Shouty out here.

"It's a pregnancy test Christian! Ok? I missed my period." He continues to glare at me.

"But you were taking the pill! You can't be fucking pregnant!" I look down. "Ana. When was the last time you took your pill." I continue go look down. "Ana. Look at me." I look up at him and his stare is still icy cold. "When."

"Look I forget sometimes ok? I've been busy with studying and I've forgotten sometimes-"

"-And you didn't think to tell me! God Ana that's so fucking careless!" I avoid eye contact with him and wait for him to speak and when he doesn't I see he's staring at the lines. "Well what the fuck do these lines mean? Are you pregnant?" I rush forward and take it off him.

"No, I'm not Christian. I'm not pregnant." He holds my face between his hands.

"Are you sure?" I nod and he breathes out. I frown at him. "Don't be offended Ana it's just that - well I'm not ready for that yet-"

"-You're not? Oh I'm sorry, I forgot that it was your uterus that some foetus parties in for nine months, ruins your body and then decides to shoot out of you like a log flume ride! No wait, that's me! Not you, me! If anyone's life would have changed it would have been mine Christian. You could have just ran away back to Seattle and forget I ever existed when I would be stuck here without anyone but a baby that reminds me of you. You could have had nothing to do with it, it's all on me. Not you." He stands there, looking hurt. He walks forward and holds my shoulders.

"Do you really think that?"

"The log flume thing? Yeah they come out covered in all this gunk and stuff and once it's past the head it just comes shooting out-"

"-No, about me leaving you. Me running away. You think I would do that?" I look up at him and shrug.

"I dunno, would you?" I look up at him through my eyelashes and give him my best puppy dog eyes.

"How could I run away from a face like that?" He leans in and kisses me, then pulls me into his arms. "I would never leave you."

"Not for all the tea in China?" I say into his chest and he chuckles.

"Not for all the people in China, Ana." I look up at him.

"That's a lot of people dude." He nods.

"1.393 billion as of July 1st 2014. That's 19.24% of the worlds population." I laugh.

"You are too clever you know that?" He nods and I smack his arm. We stay embracing for what seems like forever until we hear a bang. We both look up to see Kate trying to sneak out the apartment.

"I finished washing my hands. I'll just." She points her thumbs in the direction of the door. When she leaves Christian picks me up bridal style and I squeal.

"What are you doing?" I say.

"I'm making love to my girlfriend." He looks down at the test that's still in my hand. "Now throw that thing away and join me won't you? Can't do it by myself." I raise my eyebrows. "No." I pout and fling the test halfway across the room. "Right. Let's go Miss Steele. To the bedroom!" He announces and runs with me in his arms to the bedroom while I giggle. That went so much better than expected.
