Chapter Ten

I continued to stare at that little plastic stick with the two pink lines as the tears streamed down my cheeks. This can't be happening! How could I have been so stupid?

"Jocey." Max banged on the bathroom door. "Alex is on the phone."

"What?" I jumped up and threw the pregnancy test and the box into the bag from the drug store and shoved it to the bottom of the trashcan. My heart pounded and my hands shook.

"Are you okay? Are you sick?" he asked. "You've been in there a long time."

Great, he picks now to notice my bathroom habits?

"No. I'm fine." I washed my hands before opening the door.

Max handed me the phone. "Alex said you didn’t answer your cell." He looked me over, and I nearly panicked, thinking he knows.

"Thanks." I took the phone and headed to my bedroom. After closing the door behind me, I dropped down on the bed and took a deep breath.

"Alex."

"Hey, baby." I could almost see the smile forming on his face. "You didn’t answer my text last night or your phone today. Are you okay?"

"I’m fine." I lied. "How are you?"

"Good. Been a little busy today and I have a full day tomorrow, so I wanted to say hello and hear your voice."

I closed my eyes and tried to fight back the tears that were threatening to spill.

Apparently, pregnancy made you emotional; all I wanted to do was cry and scream.

"Jocelyn?"

"I’m here. I just miss you."

"Do you wanna Skype?"

"Not tonight, baby. I’m tired, and I’m not feeling that great." I couldn’t risk looking into his eyes. If I did, I would tell him everything, and I couldn’t do that to him.

He had this fantastic opportunity, and a baby would change everything for him. Not to mention what it was going to do to my life. How can I be a mom? Can I go to school? Can I do this? Can we do this? He might not want me or the baby. We hadn’t been together that long, and I didn’t want to set myself up for disappointment. Everything was happening so fast, and I couldn't think about what a baby would mean for both of us.

"What’s wrong?" I could hear the concern in his voice.

"Just tired," I said. "I’ll be fine."

"Okay. You get some rest, and I’ll call you in a day or so."

"Sounds good, and you have a good night."

"You too . . . . Jocelyn?"

"Yeah?" I closed my eyes in an attempt to make the room stop spinning. If the room stayed still then I wouldn’t throw up.

"I miss you," he whispered.

I had to hold back a sob. "I miss you too. 'Night."

"Good night, beautiful."

I hung up before he could say anything else.

He’d be home from his internship in four months, and I could tell him then. I had only taken a home pregnancy test. I needed to get to a doctor. This could all be a big mistake. Pregnancy tests were wrong sometimes, so there was no need to worry him just yet.
