One morning at the beginning of february, Karine woke up feeling a little sick, and a little hot. AJ had already left for the BSB meeting with LOU, and he had breakfast set up beside the bed for Karine. Karine looked at the food and felt even more sick, then ran into the bathroom and threw up.
After Karine came out of the bathroom, she brought the food downstairs and lied down on the couch. She felt a little bit better, but she wondered what was wrong with her. Karine turned on the TV, and then lied down for a half an hour, watching TV.
At around noon time, Tara drove over to Karines house, and knocked on her door.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Karine asked, kind of tired.
"Thought I'd come and visit you, whats up? You dont look too good.." Tara said to Karine.
"Come on in, take a seat.." Karine said, letting Tara sit down on the couch. "Lift your feet up too, if you want. I hear that pregnant womens feet hurt from walking around carrying the baby" Karine said.
"Now THAT is true! And thanks" Tara said, and then she rested her feet on the couch too.
"Whats wrong withyou?" Tara asked Karine.
"I was sick this morning.." Karine said.
"Really? Maybe it was something you ate" Tara said.
"I dont think its that, Tara! Im kind of late, if you know what i mean" Karine said worried.
"Oh, are you serious? You dont think you are.. do you?" Tara asked. Karine shook her head.
"I dont know! But if I am, I dont kno what I am going to do!"
"Your going to tell AJ!" Tara said.
"Tara, AJ's made it VERY CLEAR to me that he doesnt want any children right now.. and last month when we made love, our condom broke! and he was really worried.." Karines voice trailed off.
"Well, we dont even know if you are pregnant or not, yet! If you are, then we will figure out what to do, until then, lets go get you checked out at a doctors!" Tara stood up, making karine come with her to the hospital.
"Good afternoon Tara!" Dr Timberlake said, as Tara walked into the room.
"Hello!" Tara said cheerly.
"What can I do for you today?" the doctor asked Tara.
"Well, actually.. its my friend. I was wondering if you can do a pregnancy test on her.." Tara said. "SHe thinks she might be pregnant".
"Alright.. whats your name?" Doctor asked.
"Karine" K said.
"Alright Karine, lets go get you tested!" And then Dr Timberlake led Karine into the other room.
ABout a half an hour later, Karine and Tara were patiently waiting in the nursery waiting room. Tara was looking at all of the newly born babies, getting all emotional and happy, thinking about her baby with Nick.
Karine was looking at the babies too, although she wasnt happy like Tara was. Dr Timberlake came into the room, with Karines results.
"Well.. what is it?" Karine asked, she didnt want to wait.
"Im sorry, Karine.. you're pregnant!" Dr Timberlake said to Karine, knowing that Karine didnt want to be pregnant.
"oh God!! What am I going to do?????" Karine started to cry, and then Tara hugged her for awhile in the hospitals nursery.
Tara dropped Karine off, and then headed home and started to make supper. After Nick arrived home, Tara had a romantic supper set up for him and her, which he was very surprised and happy about. Nick and Tara ate supper, and then they went upstairs.
Over at Karine and AJ's house, AJ arrived home with McDonalds supper for him and Karine.
"Hey baby!" AJ said as he came in, and then kissed her on the cheek and then put the food on the table. "I brought you your crispy chicken"
"Thanks" Karine said softly.
"K, are you ok? You seem a bit down.. is something wrong?" Aj asked.
"Yeah, actually Alex.. there is something wrong" Karine said.
Karine took AJ's hands and sat him down on the nearby couch.
"Alex, I dont know how to say this... Im pregnant" Karine said.
AJ sat there silent, not knowing what to say. After a minute..
"Are you sure?" AJ asked silently.
"Oh yeah, im sure" Karine replied.
"Karine.. I thought you said you wouldnt get pregnant.." AJ started to say, blaming Karine.
"I didnt think i would either! But somehow I ended up pregnant, didnt I!? This is BOTH of our faults, you know" Karine said.
"KARINE! You KNOW i dont want a baby right now! Im 20!!! I dont want to be a father yet!!!" AJ started raising his voice. "How could you let this happen!?!?"
"Why are you blaming me for, AJ!! This isnt my fault!! I DIDNT TELL MYSELF to get pregnant!!! It just happened!!!! I cant control it!!!" Karine said.
"yes you can..." AJ said. Karine went quiet.
"What are you suggesting?" Karine asked sounding mad.
"well... theres always the option of giving it up, or abortion.." AJ said.
"ALEXANDER!! How could you dare ssay such a thing??? DO you really think i could do something like that!!?? I cant believe you said that!" Karine yelled at AJ.
"KARINE.. IM NOT ready to be a father... IM YOUNG.. I DONT WANT CHILDREN YET! Maybe in like, 5 years.. but not right now!! If you loved me, Youd understand!" AJ said.
"I do understand, and I do love you!! But if YOU loved me, YOU would want this baby with me.. and you WOULDNT suggest me having an abortion!" Karine said.
AJ stood there, staring at Karine, not saying a word.
"Well, thats it then.. " Karine ran up the stairs and started packing her clothes into her suitcase. Downstairs, she could hear AJ yelling and screaming at himself, he sounded like he was going nuts. AJ smashed something down on the ground, and then Karine heard the door slam.
When Karine came downstairs with her suitcase, she saw the framed picture of her and AJ smashed on the ground, with her watch thrown on the couch. Karine left AJ's house, got into her car.. and drove off to her bandmates house.
