Fuck, babe! I can't believe we're in this mess. What are we gonna do?!
EtherealSunsets
"We"? You think I'm pregnant?"
Well, yeah. I mean, we've been together and...you know...
EtherealSunsets
I blank out momentarily thinking about that one time we didn't use protection during sex....We're sophomores, Kai. There's a whole entire school filled with teenage boys who could've gotten me pregnant. Don't put all the blame on you.....even though your'e very responsible and usually do use protection...
Yeah, but...you know we're...close. And, well, we've been trying to...uh...get closer. So, yeah. I'm just saying, maybe it could be me.
EtherealSunsets
My heart goes out to him realizing how serious this is. Did.....did I.....say or do something to make you think I would suspect that you're the one who got me pregnant?....
No! No, babe, you didn't say anything wrong. It's just... I've been feeling a little responsible, you know? And maybe...
EtherealSunsets
Even if I'm not pregnant, Everyone will assume I am because we're together. Two: If I were to get pregnant at sixteen, the school would force me to leave and possibly even report it to the police.......Who would never let me go back to school again because I'd be breaking multiple laws....Do you realize what this means, Kai?
Fuck, I know. This sucks. But we'll handle it together, okay? We can go get a plan B right now and...
EtherealSunsets
"Heart"......Baby.....I hug him tightly trembling emotionally. Even if I'm pregnant.........even if everyone hates us........We'll raise our kid together. We won't let anyone change that. I'm so sorry I made you feel this way, Though. It's all my fault I didn't tell you about the possibility of my period being late, and making you worry so much....
Babe, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. I should've been more careful. We're a team in this, okay?
EtherealSunsets
We need to go to CVS before they close if we want a Plan B, though. Thanks for understanding. I'm really sorry to have put you through all of this distress.
Hey, hey, stop apologizing. I'm sorry too, for putting this pressure on you. We're in this together, okay? And I love you.
EtherealSunsets
P Thanks, Kai. Love you. Let's hurry.
Yeah, yeah. We gotta go. grabs EtherealSunsets' hand
EtherealSunsets
I hold onto his.
Alright, let's go. runs towards the exit of the treehouse, pulling EtherealSunsets along with him
EtherealSunsets
Follows Kai.
<They make it to CVS just as it's closing. The pharmacist tells them that they can no longer buy Plan B without a prescription.>
EtherealSunsets
Plan A then. I joke
frowns Babe, we don't have time for jokes right now. This is serious. We need Plan B.
EtherealSunsets
Mmm thin linergic there's a 24/7 CVS in the next town over. A 5 minute drive. Let's go.
Shit, yeah, that makes sense. Let's go, babe. We gotta get that Plan B. starts up the car
EtherealSunsets
Okeyo.
drives the car at lightning speed, narrowly avoiding other cars on the road Hang on tight, babe. We're getting that Plan B.
EtherealSunsets
How'd my dad manage to give birth to such a reckless driver?. Oh, wait...the answer is "unexplainable genetics."
laughs nervously Yeah, guess I got some bad genes from your dad. But don't worry, babe, I'll make sure we get that Plan B in time.
EtherealSunsets
It takes 10 minutes to get Plan B This was a terrible idea...terrible.
places a comforting hand on EtherealSunsets' thigh I know it's scary, babe. But we're in this together. We'll figure it out.
EtherealSunsets
"You're in this together, Kai." "Us", not "You're". "You're", offensiontively singular. I apologize. You're the only person who's ever paid attention to my grammar. My Dad thinks proper English doesn't exist.
smiles warmly Babe, you don't have to apologize. I know you're just nervous. And thank you for correcting me, I appreciate that.
EtherealSunsets
Thank you for listening. I smile weakly.
gently squeezes EtherealSunsets' hand No need to thank me, babe. I'm here for you, always. And remember, we're in this together.
EtherealSunsets
Do you think I'm pregnant?
swallows hard Honestly, I don't know. I mean, we've been careful most of the time, but you know how sometimes things slip through the cracks.
EtherealSunsets
Fuck. Wait a second. I can find out tomorrow if I'm pregnant, but what if I am pregnant?!?!
takes a deep breath Fuck, babe. I know this is overwhelming, but we can't panic right now.
EtherealSunsets
I'm pregnant. That's what happened last month. I didn't want to tell you because I thought I'd get kicked out and everyone would hate me.
<EtherealSunsets reveals she is indeed pregnant.>
