Chapter 1
The minutes seemed to pass like hours as Wendy Marvell Dragneel anxiously paced around her bedroom. Finally, the timer went off and she nervously walked into the family bathroom and locked the door. Even though she was the only one home, Wendy had to be careful. She walked over to the sink cabinets and opened up the second drawer from the row on the left. She took a pink box out of the drawer and then sat down on the toilet. With shaking hands she opened the box for the second time today and pulled out a small white stick. She was so nervous. Wendy glanced down.
Two pink lines.
Wendy dropped the test and began to cry. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. They had been careful. They had used protection. She was on birth control potion and he used a condom. How could this have happened?
Wendy was in so much shock and disbelief that she had decided to go get another test. This one had to be defective. As she stood up from the toilet, though, she heard someone yell,
"Wendy? Are you home?"
Wendy started to panic but took a deep breath and quickly answered. "Yeah, Lucy, I'm home. I'll be down in a few minutes. I'm in the bathroom."
"Okay," Lucy yelled back.
Wendy picked the test up and stuck it into the back pocket of her jeans. Then she picked up the box and ripped it, throwing the pieces into the toilet and flushing it. How would she tell anyone?
