The Pregnant Teens? by totalgingerr (essential reading txt) 📕

I never thought in a million years that this would happen. I looked at the tiny piece of paper that was in my hands and gawked in disbelief. This news was pretty close to insanity. I thought I couldn’t. I mean, that’s what the doctor said. But I guess you can’t believe everything the doctor tells you, can you? Apparently not… because I was pregnant. And I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
My first instinct was to call Scarlet, and let her know that I had a baby growing inside of me. She would probably freak out, considering I’ve told her many, many times that I would never get pregnant and have a baby. So this phone call to her wasn’t going to be a pretty one.
Ring, ring, ring.
“Hello?”
“Hey Scarr. What’s up?” I asked my voice kind of shaky.
“Nothing much, just sitting at home. What about you?”
“Actually standing outside the clinic.” I hesitated.
“Why? Are you okay?” she asked, worried.
“Yeah, I guess I’m fine. I need to explain something to you though, and please don’t be angry.” I was almost in tears.
“You’re pregnant.” She stated.
I paused for a few seconds. “Yes.”
“Oh how did I know that?” she sounded kind of mad. And I expected that.
“Please don’t be mad, I didn’t mean for it to happen Scarr. I’m freaking out too. I don’t know what to do.” I started to cry.
“Hey Sophi, don’t cry. I’m not mad. Guess what?”
“What?”
“I’m pregnant too.” This was the last thing I ever expected her to say.
“Really?” I asked questionably.
“Yeah, I found out yesterday.” She sounded as though she was freaking out.
“Well, isn’t this ironic?” I started to giggle.
Scarlet started to hysterically laugh. “Yeah, it is!”

We ended out conversation to tell our boyfriends and hope that they wouldn’t freak out as much as we had for a while. I didn’t think that Kammi, Scarlet’s boyfriend, would freak out as much as Kyle, my boyfriend. Kyle didn’t take serious important things all that well and this would probably give him a heart attack. I hated to tell him, but obviously I had too. I couldn’t keep this from him forever. I felt as though my heart had sunk deep down into my stomach and that I was going to throw it up.
I was still standing in the clinic’s parking lot when I decided that I needed to go home. Oh this was going to be one hell of a day. I couldn’t believe Scarlet was pregnant! I found myself searching the sky for flying pigs. I suddenly couldn’t wait to tell Kyle that Scarlet was pregnant also. That, I could handle telling him. Why? I guess because it was someone else who was pregnant and not me. I was still freaking out from finding out that I was pregnant. I couldn’t believe it; my doctor told me that I wasn’t able to have children. He was definitely wrong.
The walk to my car was an intense one. Just thinking about telling Kyle was killing me. My heart beat faster and faster with each step. Hopefully, he wouldn’t take it hard, easily would be better on me. Less stress and I wouldn’t have to worry about having to take him to the hospital for a heart attack.
I pulled into the driveway of my home, Kyle was waiting outside for me. He smiled big and waved. I smiled back in hopes that he would figure out it was a nervous one. I got out of the car, shut the door and walked to my fate.
“Hey baby.” Kyle smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
“Hey… you…” my voice was hesitant.
“You look pale, are you alright?” he asked.
“I don’t look as pale as you are going to when I tell you what I found out today.” I had him sit down on the bench.
“Uh-oh. What happened?”
“Ugh, I don’t know how to tell you.” I stated.
“I hate it when you don’t tell me things, so spit it out. It can’t be that bad.”
Oh, he had no idea.
“Alright, but don’t freak out. Kay?” I asked of him. Hopefully he would agree.
“I’ll try not to, just tell me.”
“Okay…whew… I’m…preg…nant..?” I stuttered.
I looked at Kyle closely, studying his every move. He didn’t look as though he was going to pass out. He looked like he was turning just a tad pale, though.
“Honey, are you okay?” I asked, looking into his eyes.
“You’re… you can’t be… doctor said –”
“The doctor said wrong, obviously. Look. I have the test paper.” I quickly dug through my purse to find it, and handed it to him.
He stared at the piece of paper that said positive, with his mouth gaping open.
“Kyle, speak. Say something. Please.” I asked.
“I don’t know what to say Sophi… I’m happy, I really am. But I’m scared too. Y’know? I don’t know what to expect; what to do. I don’t know if I can be a good father.” He said, his voice squeaking.
“I know Kyle. I’m scared too. But this is normal, not knowing what to do is expected for new parents. But baby, that’s what we are. We are going to be parents. It’s kind of exciting.” I tried reassuring him.
He smiled at me, and all my fears seemed to melt away.
“I love you Soph.” Kyle took my hand, kissed it, and then kissed me softly.
“We’ll make this work somehow, I swear.”
“I love you too.” I smiled at him and nuzzled into his shoulder.
Soon after mine and Kyle’s romantic moment, Scarlet was blowing up my phone. In that instant, I realized I forgot to tell Kyle that Scarlet was pregnant also. I quickly answered Scarlet’s phone call, because I was anxious to hear what she had to say.

“Tell me EVERYTHING!” I answered.
“Meet me at the park, Kammi and I are here. I’ll tell you what went down. Bring Kyle! Have you told him yet?”
“Ha, yeah I told him, but not about you. Did you tell Kammi about me?” I asked.
“No.” she giggled.
“Oh this should be very interesting.” I said in my poor-imitation-of-Velma-from-Scooby Doo voice.
“See ya when you get here.” Scarlet stated.
“Mkay!” and I hung up the phone.
Almost immediately Kyle spoke and was asking a million and one questions. What did Scarr want? Tell me what? What’s going on Soph? He just kept on and on and on.
“Kyle. Chill out. We’re going to the park to meet up with Scarr and Kammi. Keep quiet till we get there, kay?” I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “Let’s go.”
He humphed and he sighed, but he got over it. He would find out soon enough. Let’s see, what month was it? June? Oh well shit, I’d be due in March then. I wonder if it’ll be close to my birthday.
While I drove, I contemplated my due date and wondered if Scarlet would be due around the
