Chapter 11
Amanda has just learned that Kim might be pregnant. She wonders what would happen if there would happen to be another pregnancy in the Rollins family. The sisters wonder how their mother would react if Kim did turn up pregnant. Their mother didn't accept Amanda's engagement so the girls worry that if Kim is pregnant then their mother won't accept the pregnancy.
"First, we have to buy a pregnancy test." Amanda says.
"I bought a pregnancy test already." Kim replies.
Kim takes out the box that has the pregnancy test out of her purse. She shows her sister the box and she takes a look. The box says Clearblue digital pregnancy test with smart countdown. Amanda realizes that there are two pregnancy tests in one box. Kim tells her that she's only taking one test.
"Have you and Declan had sex since you got engaged?" Kim asks.
"Yes. Why?" Amanda asks.
"If you ever need to take a pregnancy test, I'll leave the other test in the box for you. I'll take mine with me." Kim says.
Amanda has just told her sister about her sex life. Kim decides that she'll hold on to her pregnancy test to show her lawyer boyfriend. She wonders how he'll react if she did turn up pregnant. Kim finishes her glass of water and she looks at the box.
"Can I use your bathroom?" Kim asks.
"Of course, it's down the hall." Amanda replies.
Kim gets up from the couch and she takes the box that has the pregnancy test with her. She worries about what the results will say. She has just turned her life around and now she might be pregnant. Another pregnancy in the Rollins family means that more money will be spent.
"Kim, if it turns out that you're pregnant, I'll support you no matter what you decide to do." Amanda says.
"Thank you." Kim replies.
Kim goes into the bathroom and she closes the door. Declan goes into the family room to check on Amanda. He kisses her cheek and he sits next to her. Amanda tells Declan that Kim needed to talk to her and that she thinks she's pregnant. He sees her purse on the couch.
"Where's your sister?" Declan asks.
"She's in the bathroom, taking a pregnancy test." Amanda replies.
Amanda goes up to the bathroom door to check on Kim. She's wondering what the results will be. Kim is still in the bathroom and she's waiting for the results. This isn't the first time that Kim thought that she's pregnant. Amanda knocks on the door and Kim lets her in. She goes into the bathroom and she closes the door.
"Well, are you pregnant?" Amanda asks.
"I don't know. I'm waiting for the results." Kim replies.
Kim paces around the bathroom while Amanda sits on the edge of the tub. Both girls are thinking about options if it turns out that Kim is pregnant. Three minutes later, the results from the pregnancy test is in and Kim picks up the test and it's negative.
"I'm not pregnant." Kim says.
"Always have safe sex." Amanda replies.
Amanda and Kim leave the bathroom and they talk about safe sex. Kim now knows not to buy condoms that will break. She leaves the apartment to go home and tell her boyfriend that she's not pregnant. After Kim leaves, Amanda and Declan return to their bedroom to plan more of their wedding.
"I was thinking that we can have roses and blue hydrangeas." Amanda says.
"Roses and blue hydrangeas are great flowers. What color roses do you want?" Declan asks.
"Hot pink, light pink, red, violet purple, raspberry kiss lavender, white, lavender, blue, pink and purple rainbow, turquoise, pink and purple rainbow, purple, peach and lilac. The blue hydrangeas can also be my something blue." Amanda replies.
Declan and Amanda have just picked their wedding flowers. They talk about going to a florist to pick flowers for the bouquets and centerpieces. Amanda says that wedding planning is a lot of fun. She then tells Declan that Kim has had a pregnancy scare in the past and then she tells him that Kim has asked about their sex life. Amanda tells Declan that Kim left a pregnancy test for her.
"Since we got engaged, we've been having sex and we made out before my sister came over and we want to be with each other all the time. The night that we got engaged, we had sex and the night that you took me home from the hospital after my attempted rape and sexual assault, I lost a lot of sleep, was crying when I wet myself trying to go to the bathroom on my own, I drank a lot of water and I had to go to the bathroom at 2 in the morning and at 3:30 in the morning." Amanda says.
"You don't think that you could be pregnant again, do you?" Declan asks.
"I don't know. I'm going to take the test and we'll see." Amanda replies.
Amanda goes into the bathroom and she closes the door behind her. In the bathroom, Amanda looks at the box and she takes the pregnancy test out. As she takes the test, she thinks about what would happen if she is pregnant again. Amanda worries that she won't be able to fit into her wedding dress. A few minutes later, she's done with the test and waits for the results. Amanda picks up the test and it's negative and she goes back into her bedroom to tell Declan that she's not pregnant.
"I'm not pregnant." Amanda says.
"We can wait to have another baby a few months after we get married." Declan replies.
Declan and Amanda get ready for bed at 11:00 at night. Amanda knows that she's not pregnant and she wants to plan more of her wedding. As they get ready for bed, Amanda decides that she should go to a florist soon.
