I waited on Kelsey downstairs, I had wrote a note saying Kelsey and I had went for a walk and should be back shortly. I didn't want anyone worrying about my second disappearence and thinking something highly worse could've happened, Kelsey waited on me at the door, "You ready?" She whispered softly and I nodded my head, my fingers shaking and clamy as I stuffed them into my brown cloth winter jacket. We quietly snuck out of the door being careful not to slam the door or the screen door. We fast pacingly walked down the driveway and set off to the gas station, my nerves getting the best of me caused me to shake like I was cold. I tried taking in deep breaths and that seemed to help, along with talking to Kelsey, I found it odd that my head could wrap around the fact I may or may not be pregnant but yet it couldn't wrap around what emotion to express last night. All my brain would let me think about was how my life could change drastically with just one simple test, but not just mine, Justin's and my dads lives as well. I knew that if I indeed was with baby that there was no chance in an abortion, I couldn't kill off a part of Justin and my life, it seemed unfair, unkind and selfish to me. It wasn't long before we seen the gas station not too far off in the distance, we had one more red light to pass and we would be there, my nerves only sped up more and more as we began approaching. There wasn't many people there, to say the least, a tourist stopped to fill up and some elderly people who was sitting inside at a booth. Kelsey walked in while I waited for her return outside, I was a bit out of breath so I rested on a wooden bench next to a payphone. I waited in anticipation of Kelsey's return, glancing ever so often behind my shoulder to see her place in line. She finally came back out with the bag in her hands, she walked over and flung the white plastic bag at me, I stuck it inside my jacket as we walked back home, I was hoping that nobody was up but I didn't have anything on me to tell the time, nor did Kelsey. We walked at a faster pace than we did to get here, Kelsey talked to me along the way about how, if I was pregnant to cover it up from my dad long enough, but I knew that when I delivered him he would turn out mixed, looking like his daddy, Justin, which would've only made matters worse to lie about the father. I couldn't do that to my own dad and let alone give Justin a reason to doubt me, the last thing I needed was my twenty minutes of fame broadcasted live on an episode of Maury.
Once we reached my driveway my anxiety picked up, I grasped my hand on the door taking in a deep breath and opened the door. We walked in and with no sign of life being awake just yet I could finally calm down, I walked over to the kitchen to toss away the note since it was no longer needed, Kelsey was already upstairs and I was following behind. I creeped into my room, closing the door I took out the white plastic bag, picking up the boxes and began reading, I took both boxes to the bathroom and did as the instructions said. Once I finished I walked back into my room, setting down the test on my vanity, " you peed on a highlighter?! " Kelsey joked, I quietly laughed, too concerned on hoping the test read back with one line. I sat on my bed and asked Kelsey to check it for me, she went over to grab it, "one means no baby, right?" I nodded as I crossed my fingers "well I think you should take another, just to be sure. It says you're pregnant." Well, strike one of four, but tests were wrong sometimes, you could easily mess them up. I went back and this time I took two, after finishing up with the second I again repeated walking back to my room, placing both on my vanity and sat on my bed. After what felt like eternity, Kelsey again checked both and I could feel my heart sinking into my stomach. "Avery, both these tests say pregnant, that's three." I almost died inside, I had to break the news to Justin. I took off my jacket, placing it back in the closet before walking down to the guest room. My heart began to break into as each foot got one step closer to Justin's door. I walked in to see him just getting up, "Avery, what's wrong?" Looking at the tears rolling down my eyes, I wanted to be sarcastic and reply "not a damn thing, I'm fine and dandy" but it wasn't the time for that, I grabbed Justin's hand and led him up to my room. I felt ashamed of myself, I just kept picturing over and over Justin leaving me, I opened the door and let him go first, if not for my tears he would now know something was up if he noticed the boxes laying on the bed, "Justin, this is big, just please promise me not to flip out." I pleaded with my crackly voice, he hugged me before he sat down. I took the instructions from one of the boxes, grabbed a sharpie and circled the meaning of what the lines meant then proceeded to hand him all three tests. His eyes focused on the paper then at each test, he done it six times before he sat both down, got up and walked to me. "Avery, it's okay. You have nothing to cry about, well, maybe, but it doesn't change how I feel about you, I promise, hand on my heart to be there through every appointment, the delivery and every part of this child's life. We created it, we're bringing it in the world, raising it and loving it together. You're the mother, you have to decide if you want an adoption or to raise it, I'm not forcing either on you. I love you just as much and if you decide you want us to raise him then I can share my love for you with him, I would love to father my first child, and nothing would or ever come between us. I truly don't care if this is fast at all but you, Avery, you're the single best thing to have came into my life and I plan to keep it that way until you say you've had enough of me. I would just have to deal with you leaving" I couldn't stand it any longer, I threw myself into his arms, kissing him. "I would never leave you, Justin. We're raising this child together and I'm so glad you're in my life" he wiped the tears from my eyes, kissing each one. At this moment I felt everything I had wanted to feel, my brain finally understood emotion again, so did Kelsey, "maaaaan, who changed this from reality TV to Lifetime. Excuse me, I have Bigfoot and a llama stuck inside my eyeballs." We laughed at Kelsey while I still had my arms wrapped tightly around Justin.
