Chapter 3 *one week later* Brittni woke up and immediately felt sick to her stomach. She unwrapped herself from Justin's arms and ran into the bathroom. When she was done, she flushed the toilet and wiped her face. Sluggishly she made her way back into the bedroom and under the covers. Doing this caused Justin to wake up. He took one look at her face and instantly could tell that something was wrong. "What's the matter babygirl?" She rolled over and groaned. "Uugh, I feel like shit, I think I have the flu or something." Justin turned her back over and gently rubbed his hand over her stomach. "Oh baby, did you throw up?" "Yeah, I don't know what it is. I've been feeling like this for a couple of days now." "Well maybe you should go to the doctor's. I hate seeing you sick." "No, it's ok. Usually it passes in a couple of days." As soon as she said this, the urge to throw up came back to her and she ran back into the bathroom. Justin followed her and pulled her hair back as she threw up. Brittni whimpered. "Justin, eww, I hate getting sick!" "I know babe, I don't like it either. Come on, maybe if you eat something you'll feel a little better." Justin said helping her back up. Brittni knew that eating something would probably just make her stomach even more upset, but she was willing to try anything. She made her way into the bedroom, grabbed her bathrobe and followed Justin down the stairs and into the kitchen. "What do you want to eat babe, i'll make you anything." Brittni sat down on a stool against the counter and thought. "Um, I don't really feel like anything much Just, I think that crackers are supposed to be good for upset stomachs, can you just give me some with a couple of slices of cheese please?" "Sure thing hun." Justin took out a plate and put 6 crackers on it along with three slices of cheese. "Here you go." He said placing the small amount of food in front of her. Brittni looked at it afraid of throwing up again. Slowly she took a few bites and she could feel her stomach start to settle. Once she was done she looked up at Justin who had been watching her the whole time. "You feeling any better?" "Yeah, thanks babe." "No problem, anything up make you better Ashie." She smiled at him and got up. Suddenly she felt really dizzy and grabbed a hold of the counter to keep steady. Justin ran over, caught her and picked her up in his arms. He brought her into the living room and sat them both down on the couch. "What happened?" He asked worriedly at why she almost fainted. "Uhh, I don't know, maybe I just got up too fast." "Maybe, I love you baby." "I love you too Just" She gave him a quick kiss and fell asleep in his arms. The two spent he day inside with Justin willingly giving her everything she wanted or needed. Brittni felt better throughout the day, almost as if nothing ever happened that morning. But when she woke up the next day and got sick all over again, she got fed up. "This is nuts, i'm going to the doctors." She said and made an appointment for 1:15. "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Justin asked watching Brittni get herself prepared. "Yes baby, i'll be fine, i'm a big girl. Besides, you have to go into the studio today." "Yeah, but i'd drop it all so I could go with you." He said sweetly. "Aww baby I know you would, but I don't want you to get in trouble just cause you want to come with me so the doctor can tell me that I have the flu." He sighed. " Ok, but you call me the minute you get back and tell me what happened, ok?" "Of course Mr. Man. Now I have to get going, I love you!" "Love you too Britt." Justin gave her a sweet kiss on the lips and watched her walk out the door. He left soon after her for the studios. ~*~ "Ms. Taylor?" The receptionist asked. "Yes? That's me." She smiled "The doctor is ready to see you now." "Ok, thanks." Brittni followed the woman to a room third from last down the end of a long hallway. She sat down and tried to get comfortable on the hard examination table. "The doctor will be with you in a minute." She said. Brittni smiled and nodded and the woman quietly left. She was busy looking around when she heard the door open and an aging man with slightly grey hair walked in. "Hello Ms. Taylor, I'm Dr. Stevens." "Hello." She said politely at the man. "So, can you tell me about how you've been feeling lately?" "Well in the morning I get really sick, and sometimes I get dizzy, and then for the rest of the day, i'm fine." Dr. Stevens looked and her concerned. "Are you sexually active Ms. Taylor?" Brittni blushed. "Umm, yeah I am, but we use protection." He nodded. "Have you ever had unprotected sex?" Brittni got really uncomfortable. She didn't like discussing her personal life with anyone. Especially her sex life with Justin. "Uh, y.yeah, I think we have." She replied nervously. "Alright, no need to worry. Now, we are going to run a few tests on you and we'll see what's up." She nodded. She got blood taken and had to have a urine test done as well. Brittni was so into reading an article about her and Justin's relationship, that she didn't hear the doctor calling her. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked at the elderly woman beside her. "The doctor's calling you dear." She said sweetly. Brittni looked up and saw Dr. Stevens waiting for her. "Oh, thank you." She said to the woman. "No problem sweetie." She smiled at the lady and go up and followed the doctor back into the small room. "I've got some very important news for you Ms. Taylor, and with that, I'd like to discuss some options for you to think over." He said seriously. Brittni sat herself down on the examination table and looked at the doctor nervously. "Ok." she said quietly. "Well Ms. Taylor, we ran some tests and they all came up negative for one thing, and positive for another." She nodded and he continued. "Well, what came up negative is that, you don't have the influenza virus." "And positive?" "Your pregnant, congratulations!" Brittni didn't know what to think or do. It was all coming together now. Morning sickness. That's why she'd get sick in the morning only and feel fine for the rest of the day. How could she be so blind? But what about her career? She couldn't continue modeling when she had gained 20 pounds, and had a huge stomach. What about Justin? What would all the fans think when they all learned that he would be having a baby? She didn't know how to handle this, especially with the thought of her being pregnant being the the furthest from her mind. "Ms.Taylor?" Dr. Stevens asked snapping her out of thought. "Umm, yes?" she asked, her voice cracking. "I know your young, and you have your modeling career, so I would like to discuss a few options for you to consider, ok?" "Uh huh." "Alright. You can either choose to keep the baby, have an abortion, or have him or her put up for adoption." She stayed quiet thinking over what Dr. Stevens just told her. She couldn't have an abortion because she felt that it was wrong to kill an innocent life. And she couldn't put it up for adoption either because she wouldn't be able to deal with knowing that her baby would grow up not knowing who his or her real parents are. So that left her with one choice. "I'm keeping it." "Alright, well i'm going to be letting you go home now. I know you must need some time to think everything over. And you need to talk everything over with Mr. Timberlake." "Ok, thank you doctor." "Ok, i'll book you an appointment for you to come back and see me in about a week, how's that?" "Fine." "Ok, we'll see you then, goodbye!" Brittni waved and slowly made her way back to her car. She couldn't believe everything that had just been told to her in the last half hour. She opened the door of her car and tears rolled down her cheeks. Tears of fear. Fear of what would happen to everything once the public knew about her pregnancy. And Fear for what would happen to her career, and Justin's. Her cell phone went off. "Hello?" She asked trying to sound as normal as possible, but if the person was Justin, he would be able to see through that. "Britt, babygirl? Why are you crying, What's wrong?"
