Chapter 29 Michelle

I have peed on every stick inside the RFSU pregnancy test package, and they all show the same thing: two red lines.

“No, this must be wrong…” I stare down at the stick while sitting on the toilet seat. “I can’t be pregnant-I’m not ready for that!”

I’m shaking, close to crying my heart out.

What am I supposed to do? Shit-shit-shit! Someone, please tell me because my entire world has turned upside down!

Hot tears are burning behind my eyes. I’m not against people getting abortions. I understand they are needed in some situations, but I don’t want to go through with one.

Am I selfish for thinking that? This baby belongs to Maddox too, but no matter what, I just can’t… I can’t make an abortion- I want that less than I want to become a mom!

Jesus Christ.

My head is spinning. I want children, but not right now. I think I will be a terrible mother at this age, and holy shit, how do I make my heart stop performing somersaults?!

“Michelle?” Maddox is outside the bathroom door. “Are you alright in there? Do you need more time?”

“No, I’m…” I look at all the sticks on the floor and take a deep breath. I have to talk to Maddox later, but not right before this dinner. “I’m ready to go right now. Are you ready?”

“Yeah, but I hate wearing a tuxedo… It’s tight over my shoulders.”

I snort at the image I’m visualizing of Maddox trying to fit into a snug tuxedo and sweep the floor. I have to see him. “I kind of like men in costume.” Maddox growls. “You better not be into rich CEO books because I swear I will never become an office man. At least not while I’m still in my prime.” “I know, I know! And you don’t have to worry,I like muscular football players more.” “That’s more like it…. “Maddox grows tired then. A few seconds pass before he sounds irritated again. “Wait, is that in plural?”

While laughing, I get rid of the pregnancy tests. Shove the used sticks right into the package and down into the bin. I even dispose of napkins over them so they are hidden. I then think better of it. I can’t risk Maddox finding them, so I dig up the empty package and shove it into my bag. It’s not dirty or anything. I changed the bag in the bin earlier.

“You’re not interested in Jason, Lionel, or Robin, are you?” More laughs come up my throat. “You’re the only man for me-” I fall silent once I open the door and see Maddox cleaned up.
