Lightning left wheel well feeling so nervous and scared. He needed to find someone to really talk with this about. He was to panicky. Stricken with such fear of what the FUCK was he suppose to do!? He did NOT want kids!? A baby!? How could Sally let this happen!? How could he let this happen!? He could go to Mater but Mater was not the person for this. As he sat in his car and stared at Sally. She was just.. Acting so calm about this!? She was perfect and he was.. He would be a horrible person if he just ran from this.. But at the moment, that's what he wanted to do. Run.

Lightning did drive away. Driving slowly so he could think about eveything that was too come.. He was just so not ready. He did not want this yet. He was perfectly happy with a girlfriend. That was it. Nothing more right now! The only person Lightning thought best to vent and talk to.. Was the same person Sally was close to. Doc. Doc was like a father to him and he would be the one to talk to anyway. Sense he'd find out soon anyway with Sally coming for another test. A more official test.

So Lightning found Doc at his garage. Working on the old hudson hornet race car. He came in slowly with a knock. "Hey Doc.." Doc glanced at the kid greeting "Hey. Sheriff came by. Told me about that little project." Lightning faked a laugh and rubbed the back of his neck replying "Yea... Um.. I really want.. I need to talk to you about something personal." Doc stared a moment. Probably trying to figure out what personal could mean with Lightning. Doc stopped working on the car and wiped his hands before walking over and pulling up a stool and sitting on it.

"What's on your mind?" Doc asked. Lightning stared. A split second of silence wizzed by but this was big. Lightning needed to just talk to someone he trusted. And he didn't trust anyone like he trusted Doc. "Sally's pregnant.." Doc didn't seem to have a reaction at first. "And.. I don't know?.. I am not ready for this kind of thing. She isn't either. I.. I really don't want a kid. Not anytime soon." Doc nodded and asked the first important question here "Did she take a test?" Lightning nodded answering "I saw it myself. I mean I didn't see the actual results but she said it was positive." Doc crossed his arms and sighed scolding "I thought you two were using things to prevent this sort of thing? Condoms, morning after pill.. I thought Sally was on birth control?" Lightning shrugged.

Doc sighed, Lightning continued "I need help here.. What do I do? What should I do?" Doc thought hard a moment. He thought about how Sally lost her first child. She would not want to lose another. Even if it was unplanned and in a difficult situation. "Is everything gonna be okay?" Lightning asked. Doc nodded reassuring "Yes. It's just a baby." "But you don't have kids? How do you know?" Lightning asked. Doc frowned. Yeah, he missed out on the family thing because of his crash. Because after his crash, he left his friends, family.. Louise.. All of it behind.. Stupid move. Doc's brows lowered as he firmly replied "You had better not run from this. You can not just leave town over this. Leaving Sally and your child to fend for themselves. You gotta step up." Lightning swallowed nervously.

He just wasn't ready. "Should.. What about.. What about abortion? Isn't there some kind of pill she can take? It's so early?.." Doc was a little surprised by the kid's question. But everyone had their own thoughts about that subject. And at the moment Lightning was just scared. Doc didn't answer that. Instead, he replied ordering "I want you to calm down. When Sally comes to me, I'll talk with her. See how she feels about all of this." Lightning just stood there. Honestly he wanted this gone and taken care of as soon as possible. "Don't worry about practice tomorrow morning. Don't need you driving all stressed. Just talk with Sally. Calm down." Lightning nodded and left. He did need to talk more with Sally about this...

Lightning and Sally snuggled up onto Sally's tiny little couch and turned on the tv. Relaxing for the night a little. Lightning had an arm wrapped around his girl. His girl and.. He stared at her stomach.. Pregnant.. Holy chrysler he fucked up. She looked so cute though. This navy blue off the shoulder romper thing. Her hair up in a loose bun. She was the sexiest and cutest thing in the world. Sally smiled and gazed into Lightning's eyes. Lightning smiled back, but it wasn't a full and happy smile. He was thinking about this pregnancy thing.

Sally leaned forward for a kiss. She was definitely in a more rambunctious mood than him. Lightning stopped her with his hand to her lips admitting "As much as I'd love to.. I really wanna talk about the pregnancy.." Sally raised a brow and pulled back. "Okay?" Lightning then asked "Have you talked to Doc yet? Did you get a chance to tonight?" Sally made a negative face, like a frown and whined "No.. I meant to.." Lightning nodded and it was quiet a moment. "But I really don't get it? Why are you so obsessed about it?" She asked. Lightning's eyed widened as he then began to explain. "I don't understand how you're NOT!? This is a HUGE decision. Literally life changing Sally!? Something people wait on.. Something much older people do!? Plus, you're suppose to be married before having a baby!?" Sally shrugged but nodded saying "Yeah.. I agree with that.."

Lightning calmed down hearing that. So thankful she agreed. He let out a sigh of relief and replied "Good.. I'm so glad to hear that." Sally smiled and snickered. Kinda a quiet giggle too as she shook her head. They watched only a few minutes of tv before Lightning continued "So.. We agree? We are definitely not ready for this and we'll get this taken care of?" Sally pulled away. Her face read that of pure confusion. "What?" she asked. Lightning stared. Feeling that knot grow again.

They stared at each other with such confused and maybe Sally had a little disgust in her expression. Sally was silent. Her silence scares him. "I mean.. We can't have a baby... Right?.." Lightning asked. Sally shook her head and thought about this a moment. What Lightning thought was unbelievable. He really?.. Finally Sally replied "You think?.. We?.. Wait?.. Do you mean abortion?" Lightning stared. Unsure of himself even.

He shrugged and answered "Well.. Yeah?.. I mean.. We can't do this. We aren't ready for something like this." Sally looked mortified! "You think we should?" she asked. It was so harsh the way she asked it. Lightning sighed answering honestly "Yeah.. I do." Sally pushed away, distancing herself and disagreed "Well I don't believe in that. I would never murder a baby." Lightning snickered muttering "It's not a baby? You're like what? A day pregnant?" Sally didn't know what made her more mad? The fact Lightning called it not a baby or the fact he just said the stupidest thing she ever heard!

"Are you kidding me? So you believe in abortion and don't think it's a baby?!" Lightning defended snapping "Oh come on!? It's not! It's a fetus technically right? A thing! A thing we can not handle." Sally stood up and began yelling "I can not believe you! It is a baby! A precious little baby!" Lightning rolled his eyes and defended himself "Sally stop it. Think this through! Look at us!? For one, we're not married. Two, think of how bad this will look for me!?" Sally's eyes widened. That did it!

"So this is about you!?" "Yes!" Lightning snapped then immediately "No!.. No, this is about us and that... We.. I can't. I can't be a father right now. I can't. We should have an abortion. It would be best for us. I'm sorry but that's just the truth." Sally was furious replying "No, it would be best for you. I could handle this. I've had a baby before. Okay!? I lost that baby! I would never kill such an amazing thing! And I.. I.. the fact that you would!? How dare you believe that stuff is okay!?" Lightning stood up yelling "What!? It is okay!? I'm trying to tell you what is best for us! We aren't ready for this!?" Sally shook her head and had yelling "Just get out!" Pointing to the door!

Lightning sighed and glared saying "Now you're overreacting." Sally was so hurt and angry. They did not believe in the same thing here. And a family is what Sally wanted more than anything one day! "Get out Lightning!" She yelled again. Lightning sighed but felt she needed to calm down so he agreed with "Fine. I'll talk to you tomorrow when you're not so bitchy." He left. Sally growled and slammed the door right behind him...

The next morning came. Lightning waited outside by the office of the motel. Sally began walking over. Already angry just seeing Lightning. "Sally." He murmured. Sally.glared snapping "What?" Oh yeah, she was still angry. Sally unlocked the door and both went into the office. As Sally sat at her desk, Lightning began "We gotta talk about this Sally. And actually do something.." Sally slapped her desk and snapped back "You are going to stand there and push me to have an abortion!? Seriously!?" Lightning shook his head and sat down at her desk across from her replying "No.. But we gotta talk about last night and this entire problem." Sally sighed and stared. Well.. Lightning was definitely not father material.

"Right.. Okay." she agreed. Lightning leaned back into the chair and asked "Why do you wanna keep it though?" Sally sighed answering "It's not like that. I am not ready to be a mom either okay? But I do not believe in abortion. It's wrong! Have you ever watched one or looked it up in the internet!?" Lightning raised a brow as she continued "I would never do that. No matter how much of a problem a baby would be!" She was stuck on this. Lightning rolled his eyes and explained "Come on Sally.. I mean.. We can not do this? I am gone all the time.. Think about how?.. How fat you'll get and how sick you'll be? They'll be like?.. No sex and then the crying all the time and"-"Stop! You are just trying to get rid of it and I've heard enough! You are ridiculous. You're adopted!? How come that didn't even come to your mind!? You are so selfish! The truth is you just don't want this to hurt your image!"

Lightning's brows lowered as he snapped back yelling "Okay yes! It's not just that, but yes! It will look so bad for me! But how inconsiderate can you be!? This thing doesn't affect just you!? it affects me! My job, my career is huge! Its a show boating career!? It's part of the sport! And me getting some girl pregnant does not look good!?" "Some girl!?" Sally yelled in disbelief! Lightning sighed correcting "You know what I mean.. Look I know you want kids one day I.." He paused and suddenly he realized "You stopped taking your birth control!? You supposedly were taking the morning after pill! You lied to me!?" He stood up. Sally stood up and shouted back "I would never lie to you!" Lightning faked an angry laugh "Oh ho but you did!? What was this? Like your plan to try and tie me down quicker!?" Sally was furious!

"You are the most selfish jerk! Do you hear yourself when you talk!?" She yelled. Lightning was furious too. "We obviously don't agree here!?" He yelled. Sally nodded adding "Obviously! We also don't agree or have the same beliefs on a lot of things!? Like love or marriage and kids!?" "I don't even want kids!? At this point I may never!" Lightning yelled. Sally's eyes widened. That was something she wanted no matter what one day.

"Then why are we together? Because I don't date for just the fun and games!?" she asked. Lightning snickered rolling his eyes. But she pushed it "Why!? We don't have the same views at all!? And i want kids! I want marriage one day!? " "So much so you tricked me into knocking you up.." Lightning muttered. "You know you're right, I don't know why we're together anymore." Sally hit the desk yelling "You don't have to be involved in an unwanted pregnancy anyway!? You're a big super star? Why don't you just go on with your life of driving in cirlces and forget about us, the little people!" Lightning shook his head yelling "Maybe I should!?. No.. I didn't mean that last thing.."

" Oh gosh!.. I can not believe you!?" she snapped! Lightning shrugged yelling "What do you want me to do!? i won't apologize for what I believe!? I don't even want to get married yet!?" Sally crossed her arms snarling "Right!? No marriage, no kids, love!? What next!? You don't believe in heaven or hell!?" Lightning stared and shrugged "When you die you die!?" he said.

Sally growled yelling "Oh my gosh!.. Its like I don't even know you!? I never said I was pregnant!?" Lightning got into her face yelling "Yes you did! You even said the test was positive!" Sally stepped back correcting "No? You said you knew the situation. So I assumed you actually did! I never said it was mine? I said it was positive." "But last night!?" Lightning asked!

"Still never said I was pregnant. But I'm glad you thought I was, because now I know how different we really are." Lightning hit the desk and snapped "You know me too! You are a conniving little... person! I can not believe you!? Who the fuck is pregnant?!" "Veronica. She came to me about it. I would never have lied to you. If and if I were pregnant, I would have told you immediately. But I am not wanting a baby anytime soon. I lost one. I am not ready to try again, even if we were married! This body is not getting pregnant until I want it to. I am careful. I do take birth control and I do have morning after pills. I would never trick any man into being with me with a pregnancy." Lightning just stared. Honestly he did not know how to react at this point.

"But I am so glad to get the real you to come out here today, seriously." she added. Lightning was angry and snapped back "Oh like you!? Pretending a pregnancy was yours to get me tricked into this little game of yours!? You are pathetic! I mean that is a whole new low!" "And you are selfish. I can't be with someone so flaky!" "Flaky!? I am NOT flaky!" "Whatever Lightning. I am done here. We are done!" Lightning glared yelling "Fine! At least we can agree on that! I don't need some girl like you? Tricking me into a stupid mind game!? There are so many girls, girls literally waiting in line for this!" Sally rolled her eyes snarling "Oh that's attractive.." Lightning shook his head "I feel sorry for the next guy you trick." And Sally added "I feel sorry for the slut you're gonna bring home to your mom." "Takes one to know one!" Lightning snapped back

Sally gasped a little. "Get out of my office!" She yelled! Lightning faked a laughed replying "God I'm glad this is over!" And left!

Sally sighed and sat at her desk. Rubbing her fingers over her head, through her hair. Lightning went to his room. He stood there a moment in the peace and silence. Thinking?.. Did they just break up?
