What if she was really pregnant? Is she really ready to be a mother? Can she be a mother? Can she take care of a child?
Lily was lost in thoughts till they got to Nora’s place. They both walked out of the car and headed into the house.
Immediately they got in, Nora walked away to go get the pregnancy test kit while Lily waited nervously with her heart racing and her hands trembling.
She started to doubt if she should take the test or not. She felt it wasn’t necessary, Dr. Gerad already confirmed that she wasn’t pregnant.
Nora interrupted her thoughts as she walked into the living room, Lily looked up at her and Nora smiled.
“Here you go.” She said and handed it to her. Lily slowly took it from her and stared at it. She didn’t understand how it worked.
“How does it work?” She asked and Nora looked at her surprised. She knew Lily didn’t know most things but she wasn’t expecting her to not know anything about a pregnancy test.
“Are you serious?” Nora asked and Lily drew her brows together.
“What do you mean?” Lily asked back confused.
“You really don’t know how it works?” Nora asked and she nodded in response. She looked down at it and stared at it closely.
“I am sure this is my first time seeing it.” She replied and Nora’s eyes widened in shock.
She shook her head and chuckled a little.
“Okay, listen. All you have to do is pee on this tip and leave it for a few minutes, if it shows two lines then you are pregnant but if it doesn’t and it shows just a line then you are not pregnant.” Nora explained and she nodded in response.
“Okay.” She muttered and stood up, then made her way toward the restroom.
She entered the restroom and did as Nora told her then she waited. She wanted to go out with it and wait for a few minutes but she didn’t.
She decided she wanted to see it first before showing Nora.
After what seemed like forever, Lily stared at it with her hands trembling. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. It was positive!
Dr. Gerad lied! She was pregnant.
Tears started to well up in her eyes, she was about to cry out loud when she hurriedly placed her palm on her mouth to stop herself.
“Lily.” Nora called and knocked on the door. She hurriedly wiped her tears and sniffed.
“Yes? I’m coming.” She said trying her best to sound okay.
She wasn’t ready to tell Nora or anyone, she thought of how she could get rid of it. She opened the tap and put the kit under it hoping it would change.
“Lily, are you okay? Do you need me to come in?”
“No, I am coming. Just a second.” She replied.
She tried her best to ruin the kit and it worked, it wasn’t so visible anymore that she was pregnant.
She fixed herself too and made sure she looked okay before walking out of the bathroom.
She met Nora at the entrance and smiled nervously at her.
“So, how was it? Let me see.” Nora said eagerly and Lily handed it to her.
“Dr. Gerad was right. I am not pregnant.” She lied and Nora stared at it. She noticed something odd about the kit but decided not to ask questions.
“Oh, I was looking forward to being an aunt.” Nora said and Lily forced out a chuckle.
“Maybe some other time.” She said and shrugged then Nora looked up at her.
“Well, on the bright side, it saved you from another drama with Axel.” Nora said with a smile.
“Yeah, of course.” Lily replied and screamed in her head.
What the hell was she going to do?
