Carry On

Days had passed, and grandad was still here. I'd been sleeping at Zacks every other night, Brian couldn't stand the thought of me being alone. Gracie stayed with my mom and Johnny, I wasn't going to let her see me like this.

Another day over being by my grandads side at the hopsital bed. He'd been sleeping pretty much all day. Me and Brian made a deal between us. He sleeps in the day at home, and stays with grandad at night. All of this stress was too much. And to make matters a little more stressful - my period was late. Already. Whilst me and Zack went to the store, I discreetly bought a pregnancy test. I almost hoped I wasn't pregnant yet. I wanted to enjoy the fun of trying, and the excitement and tension of the whole experience. I haven't enjoyed this at all. Me and Brian had sex just twice, and already I could possibly be pregnant.

I paced Zacks room and waited for the answer. I needed Brian here with me for this but it just wasn't a good time.

"What's up?" Zack asked nosily bringing in my washing.

"Nothing" I stuttered hiding behind the test which was sat on the dresser.

"What'cha got there?" he chuckled trying to see.

"Nothing" I repeated with the same stutter.

"C'mon," he laughed. He tried to shift me by tickling my sides and obviously, I let out small giggles. The giggles turned into fits of laughter, as I doubled over. His hands quickly stopped tickling me, and his laughs stopped too. I looked up at him who was staring at the pregnancy stick.

"Will you just give me a minute?" I sighed.

"No," he shook his head and looked at me. "Is it mine? I mean, you guys can't be trying already"

"It's not yours.. I might not even be pregnant" I said in frustration.

"It is isn't it?" he pushed. "It's mine"

"No!! Zack!" I screamed. He quieted down at the sound of my loud voice. "I am not pregnant with you're child. I never will be, you need to accept I am with Brian, and if I am having a baby - it's his" I carried on yelling at him with no care. "I just, don't want anything to do with you anymore" That wasn't intended, but I was just all over the place in my emotions. "I'm sorry"

Zack bowed down, and tried so hard not to cry. He brushed past me and snatched the test from the dresser. "Congratulations"

"What?"

"You're pregnant" he fake smiled, chucking the stick into my chest. "Brian will be so chuffed. Go on. Tell him. Do you think he's gonna believe it's his? Really? We had sex barely a week ago - what's he gonna think"

"Me and Bri had sex Zack, look, this is private between me and my husband--"

"And me, Renee. It's basically 50/50, you just gonna assume it's Brian because you want it to be?! Bull shit, you might need to rethink and reevaluate the fucking situation. If this test is right, that kid could be mine"

"It's not!" I spat.

"Maybe you should just go. Go tell him, I fucking dare you"
