CHAPTER 2

I dissolved into a fit of violent shaking as my body was racked with sobs. I allowed myself to fall to the cold, tiled floor. Karen sat down beside me.

“Em, honey it’ll be okay.” She said, trying to sooth me.

I tried to speak but my words were incomprehensible through my crying. How could this be happening to me? I’d always been so careful. Oh my god! What’s Ben going to say? He’s going to hate me, I know it. There’s no way he’d give up his career to support me. I’ll probably never hear from him again. I’ll be a single mother. I can’t have a child, I’m too young. Why is this happening to me? What have I done wrong?

After a while I’d calmed down enough to speak through my tears.

“Ben’s gonna hate me.” I said.

“No he won’t, he loves you.”

“I’ve ruined his life. He’s going to leave me.”

“Emma you haven’t ruined his life. Ben loves you, he's not going anywhere." Karen tried hard to convince me. How did she know what Ben would or wouldn’t feel? Of course he’d hate me. He doesn’t want a kid right now.

Eventually I calmed down and composed myself. I’d given myself a headache so I took a panadol before sitting with Karen in the lounge.

“Did you want me to take you to the doctor cos, like you said, those things aren’t always right.”

“Somehow, I don’t think it’s lying this time.”

“You never know.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“Did you want to go now?” she asked.

"Yeah, I guess it's now or never."

“So did any of that help?” Karen asked me when her and I arrived home from the doctor. The doctor confirmed that I was pregnant. He talked me through my options and gave me some pamphlets to read.

“I’m not aborting, I know that much. I might not be happy with this but there's no way I'm going to terminate it."

"Okay,"

"Karen, can you please not tell anyone about this, including Paul. I just don’t want anyone to know until I’ve told Ben.”

“My lips are sealed.” Karen said. “Hey, I’ve got an idea, why don’t we have a girl’s night in tonight? Just you and me, no guys. We’ve still got those vids we hired that have to be watched.”

“Yeah, okay, cool.”

The girls heard the doorbell ring. I got up to answer it. I opened the door to reveal Paul standing on the doorstep.

"Karen, you're boyfriend's just ruined our plans!" I yelled.

Paul pouted.

“Well, if that’s the way you feel.”

I laughed.

“Come in you fool.”

Paul grinned and walked in to be greeted by Karen. Once they'd finished kissing, Paul remembered what I had said.

"So what have I ruined?" he asked.

"Em and I were going to have a girl’s night in tonight.” Karen said.

“Oh, can I join in all the girlie gossip and nail painting.” He said, jumping up and down.

Karen and I laughed.

“No.” they said.

“Pleeeaase?”

Karen looked at me.

“Okay, you can stay for one movie.” I said.

“A movie?” he said disappointedly. “What about the gossip?”

“No.”

“Aw, I guess it’s a chick flick too.”

“What else?”

“I’ll live, I guess. As long as I'm with you." He directed at Karen.

"Aw," she said, falling instantly for his charm.

"Well, rather than us standing here by the door all day, how about we go get this movie started.” Karen said.

“Okay, but first I’ve got to go to the toilet.” Paul said, jumping up and down once again.

I laughed and Karen placed her hands on her hips and pretended to be annoyed.

“So now you’re just using me for my facilities.” She said.

Paul and I dissolved into fits of laughter. Karen realised what she had just said and covered her face in embarrassment as her face and ears went redder and redder.

“I can’t believe I just said that.” She said, her words slightly muffled by her hands.

Paul was having a hard time standing up he was laughing so hard while I was starting to compose myself.

"Paul, shut up!" Karen yelled at him.

"That was classic." He said, still laughing. Finally he managed to compose himself a bit. “Okay now I really need to go to the toilet.”

He took off towards the bathroom.

As Paul was about to leave the bathroom he was shocked when he saw a pregnancy test in the bin. His curiousity got the better of him and he reached down to have a better look. All colour drained from his face when he saw the positive result.
