The night that changed everything
Could things get any worse?
The first week of Niall being away was hard, Tahlia and I had drifted a bit and I felt like there was nothing for me to do besides lounge around, watch movies and eat nothing but junk food. As the weeks went on though things got easier, I texted Tahlia and asked her to meet me at the café in the main street and from there on we were together almost every day doing all the girly things you could think of. But during the week of tahlia and I having sleepovers I occasionally started to crave foods that I have never liked, urinated frequently, my breast become tender and sore and I had missed the period I had been expecting for weeks.
I told Tahlia how I had been feeling for the past few days but all she did was give me panadol thinking that I was coming down with the flu. Tahlia wasn't really the brightest tool in the shed I must say. I took a trip to the hospital to ask my mum what these weird things could be.
I walked into mums’ hospital room, planted a kiss on her forehead and then sat down on the sofa chair beside her.
“Hey Mum, how are you” I asked
“I'm good honey how is you?”
“I'm fine” I said not knowing what else I could say considering the way I am feeling
“I didn't think you were coming until tomorrow” Mum questioned
“Yeah I know, I was going to but I wanted to talk to you about something.”
“And what’s that?”
“Well you know how Niall left 2 weeks ago? Yeah well the night before he left Niall and I… you know… and since then I am starting to crave foods, I pee all the time, my boobs are sore and I've missed my period… Mum I think im pregnant”
Mum was silent for what felt like an hour and when she finally said something the words that were blurted out of her mouth were…
“Go to the front desk and ask to get a pregnancy test”
I could see it in her eyes that she was disappointed in me; I stared at her for minutes and could feel tears rolling into my eyes.
“NOW MACY!! And don’t come back until you get the results”
I was a mess, I knew mum would be disappointed in me but I thought she would be more there for me.
I walked down the long corridors until I came to the front counter.
“Hi, is there anyone here today that I could see to could a pregnancy test?”
“There sure is, follow me”
“Okay thank you”
I followed the nurse down the same corridor that I had just been through until we came to a door at the very end. As she opened the door I walked into a small white room that was decorated with pictures of teen pregnancy, babies and all other things that had to do with pregnancy.
In the corner of my eye I could see a tall man with quite a long gray beard.
“Hi, how may I help you?” he asked as I gulped my own spit down my throat.
“Hi, umm I was wondering if I could get a pregnancy test.”
“Yes that’s fine”
They gave me a cup and asked me politely to pee in it. Afterwards I gave it back to the nurse and she put a test strip in it, after about 3 seconds of waiting a positive sign appeared. I was shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes. All that could run through my mind was, how will I tell Niall? Will he stay or will he leave me to raise a child on my own? I gathered up my thoughts, thanked the doctor and made my way back down the hall to my mums’ room.
“Hey mum” I said quietly and nervously.
“How’d it go?”
“It was positive…”
Disappointment filled her face as her jaw dropped and she shook her head.
“Mum it was an accident; you know that, I would never purposely fall pregnant”
A tear rolled down my face, I was still a mess and didn’t know what to do.
“I know that Macy and I’m sorry for the way I acted before, you know I’ll be here for you through every step of the way”
“I know that mum, thank you”
I said my good byes to mum and drove to Thalia’s house; I really didn’t want to be alone tonight.
*knock Knock* I waited by her front door until her mum open and welcomed me back inside.
“Hey babbbbbeeee, what did your mum say?”
“Can we please go to your room?”
“Yeah sure, is everything alright?”
“I’ll explain in a second”
I grabbed Tahlias hand and pulled her up the spiral stairs. We walked down the hall way and made a left turn into Tahlia Tumblr girl style room.
“What’s wrong Macy? Are you sick?”
“No I’m fine, but can you promise me that what I am about to tell you stays between us and you won’t judge me?”
“Macy you’re my best friend, I won’t judge you.”
“Thanks, sooo anyway, you know how Niall and Harry are on tour? Yeah well the night before the band left Niall and I had sex, and yes it was good but we didn’t use protection…”
“…you’re pregnant” Tahlia finished my sentence before I could even get to the point. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened.
I nodded my head and hoped to god she wasn’t mad or disappointed in me.
“The only thing im worried about now is how I’m going to tell Niall...”
“Like if I should call him or text him, or just wait until he gets home” I questioned as I continued.
“just Text him and tell him you have something to tell him when he gets home and then tell him when you see him next, that way you can see his full reaction and asked if he will stay”
I followed what Tahlia suggested and sent Niall a text saying exactly what she had said. It took Niall about half an hour to reply and when he did he sounded excited to get home and find out what it was what I had to share.”
I told Tahlia how I had been feeling for the past few days but all she did was give me panadol thinking that I was coming down with the flu. Tahlia wasn't really the brightest tool in the shed I must say. I took a trip to the hospital to ask my mum what these weird things could be.
