"Samantha, I don't really know what happened to you to have come to this point. I've known your father since high school, I introduced him to Lily, I helped with Sean's birth and yours, and I don't know how your father will react when he finds out about this because you've always shown that you take care of yourself and…”
"Patrick, stop fooling around and tell me what I have, because you're making me nervous, okay?" I said impatiently.
"All right, Sam, and what you have is not a virus," he said.
"No? Then what do I have?"
"You will need care, you will have to eat properly and make some appointments and ... " I interrupted him again, already standing up and with my hands on my waist.
"Oh Patrick, enough! Just tell me what I have? Is it very serious?" I ask and watch him breathe deeply.
"You're pregnant!" he said and I started to laugh.
"Don't trip, Doctor," I said, laughing.
"I'm serious Samantha, you are almost two months pregnant," I stop laughing and look at him confused.
"Patrick, I can't be pregnant, because my period has been normal during this time," I say quietly.
"It's rare for this kind of thing to happen and also many mistake it for menstruation, but you have to be careful because it could be abnormal bleeding. It could be a small detachment of the placenta or something else," I couldn't understand what he was saying anymore, my eyes were embarrassed because of the tears that wanted to come down.
"No..." I whispered.
"Samantha, I will be here for whatever you need, I make it a point to follow up on your case and..." I stood up quickly, letting tears fall.
"No, no... I have to get out of here, I have to think," I said, grabbing my bag and putting away the exams he had given me.
"Sam, be careful. Don't do anything to harm the child or yourself, and if you want I can talk to your father and"
"I froze on the spot. Don't say anything to him, not now, understand? Leave this to me, now I have to go." I'm talking and he comes to me and hugs me.
"All right angel, I'll be here if you need me " he said looking at me and I nodded.
"Thank you, I have to go now," I said and walked out of that room drying my face and going to talk to Louise... NO! No one can know about this pregnancy yet. I go back to the bathroom and get into one of the stalls, put the toilet seat down and sit there, lean my head against the door and let my tears come down. Oh my God, I am pregnant. And from him, from Jordan a guy I barely know.... Damn it! Jordan! What do I do now?
Rebecca.
I don't think twice and call the only person I can tell right now. My best friend. She will freak out, but she is the only one I need right now. And on the third ring she answers.
"This is Sam," she says, and I feel a lump forming in my throat. Don't cry. Don't cry.
"Are you busy?" I ask, forcing a very animated voice.
"For you and your dear brother I am never busy, but tell me what's going on?" she asks.
"I can't talk on the phone, so can you go to the house and wait for me there?"
"Samantha, what have you done," she said with a startled tone.
"Becca I... damn it! Just go to my place and we'll talk later, okay?" I said and quickly dried my face when a tear came down.
"Okay, but..." I interrupted her.
"See ya later," I say to her face, because I know she wouldn't give up until I give her a clue what this is about, and it's not for cell phones that I should tell her about this problem.
I leave that small space and go to the sink, wetting my face that is a little red from crying. I apply a little foundation and retouch my blush to disguise it a little and get out of there trying not to freak out.
"Samantha?" I look back and notice the nurse. Andy.
"Yes?"
"The doctor had this delivered for you. It's a prescription, he asked you to buy these medicines and eat very well," she says, smiling and handing me a medium sized piece of paper.
"Thank you," I smile and walk over to Louise, who is pacing back and forth in time to cut a hole in the floor.
"Sam, what took you so long? I thought something had happened," she says as soon as she sees me.
"Sorry Lou, I just went to powder my nose and forgot about the time," I smiled.
"And then? What did the doctor say," she asked me nervously.
"You and Sean doubted me, I told them it was just a virus. And all that discomfort is why it is, it is a tropical virus, that's right, tropical virus," I said quickly.
"Are you sure?
"Of course, Patrick wouldn't lie. Would he?
"Thank God!" I noticed a certain relief pass over his face.
"Can we go now? I called Becca and she's coming over. We're going out later," I explained.
"Sure," he smiled, and then we left.
This won't be easy. Not easy at all. I can already imagine Sean freaking out, wanting to know who the guy is, and my dad being disappointed in me. I don't want to have to take this, I can't have a child now, but I can't take him away because it will be against everything my mother taught me. I'm really not ready for this kind of responsibility and Jordan? What am I going to do to get to him and tell him that I am pregnant with his child?
Damn it, now I have to take responsibility for my actions.
My consequences.
