My Sophomore Year by Katie Such (icecream ebook reader .TXT) 📖

up and take you, I have off today anyway so it won’t be a problem.”
“Thanks mom.” I put on one of my looser shirts and a pair of sweat pants. I threw my hair up in a pony tail, and threw on some light eyeliner. I have been dressing like this for the past week and a half. I haven’t really been feeling like taking my time and getting all ready. Aiden doesn’t seem to care either. He’s just worried about my puking. I brushed my teeth and went downstairs.
“Hey babe, are you still not feeling well?”
“No, not really, I don’t know what’s up with me but I don’t like it. I feel like crap all the time and I’ve been so tired lately.”
“Well you’re going to the doctors tonight right? Can I come with?”
“Yeah, my mom will pick us up from school.”
“Okay, do you want to get to the bus now?”
“Can we just walk? I’m not feeling the bumpiness of the bus I don’t want to puke again today.”
“Yeah, no problem.”
After my last class I walked with Aiden and went to go get my stuff from my locker and then to go meet my mom.
“Hey mom.”
“Hi sweetie let’s get you to the doctor you’re really pale, you don’t look so good.”
“I don’t feel good either; I just want to go to sleep.” I sat in the back with Aiden, I laid my head down on his lap and closed my eyes, and he rubbed my cheeks and played with my hair. I couldn’t really fall asleep but it made me feel a bit better. Being comforted and soothed by Aiden always makes me feel better.
“Well we are almost at the doctors, I called you in and I told them your symptoms they want to look at you and do a few tests.”
“Okay then I can go home and sleep for the rest of the weekend I’m so tired and I don’t want to move at all.”
“Well you can do that, I don’t care, and Aiden can stay with you and help you if you want.”
“Only if he wants, can we just go check in now?” I asked realized he had parked and stopped.
“Oh yeah lets go.” We got out of the car and I went inside and sat on a chair next to Aiden and laid my head on his shoulder while my mom checked me in.
“Elissa Anderson?” I heard the nurse come out and say. The three of us got up and followed the nurse to a room, “Hi Elissa I’m Nancy I have a few questions for you.”
“Ok.”
“Are you sexually active?”
“Yes.”
“Are you on Birth control?”
“No.”
“Do you use protection when having sex?”
“Yes.”
“When’s the last time you engaged in sexual activity?”
“Um, last Saturday.”
“Ok, only a few more questions. When was the first time you have had sex?”
“About two months ago.”
“Okay, well we need you to take this cup and go to the bathroom and urinate on it. You can put it in the little turn holder in there and turn it. Then come back in here and we will come and tell you the results of the test. If it’s negative we will have to take some blood and do some other tests.”
“Wait what tests are you doing that you need my pee?”
“A pregnancy test.”
“What? Why?”
“Your symptoms show all the signs.”
“Oh, this can’t be happening, I can’t be pregnant.”
“Actually it’s very possible babe, I told you the first night we had sex the condom broke and you thought nothing of it and I didn’t know what else to say.” Aiden spoke up.
“Yeah, but I didn’t even think about pregnancy. It just didn’t cross my mind.” My mom never said a word she just sat there speechless. I walked in the bathroom and did what they needed me to do. I should have known that this was possible when I didn’t get my period when I thought I should have. How could I be so stupid? It explains everything. The clothes not fitting, morning sickness, even being moody and super hungry all the time, I can’t even imagine what my dad would say if he was here. My mom is probably going to kill me when we get home. Tears rolled down my eyes as I walked back to the room the doctor had put me in. I opened the door to my mom still in shock and Aiden with his head in his hands. He looked up as I walked in.
“Oh, baby don’t cry please. Everything is going to be okay, I promise we will get through this.” Him saying this only made me cry harder. He wrapped his arms around me and I cried in his chest.
“Elissa I know that you didn’t intend for this to happen. I have always wanted grandkids but not this soon. But we can deal with this if the test comes back positive.” My mom spoke up; she can tell I’m the most scared with all of this.
“I agree with her Elissa, I didn’t want kids so soon, but it will be alright, my parents will be upset when they come back and we tell them, but they will understand. We will get through all of this. I promise baby,” Aiden kissed the top of my head and squeezed his hands tighter around me.
“Please don’t leave me Aiden, that’s all I ask. I couldn’t take it if you did.” Was all that could come out of my mouth at that time?
“I could never Elissa, only a cold hearted person would do that, and I will not be like that, as long as you want me here I will be here for you. If you tell me to go I will, but the second you tell me to come back I will be here.”
“Thank you. I love you.”
“I love you too Elissa and I always will. I will love you until the day I die.”
Just as he said that, there’s a knock at the door.
“Come in,” I said.
“Elissa, I don’t know if this is good or bad but your two months pregnant. We won’t really be able to tell you the sex of the baby but we need to do an ultrasound on the baby’s heart beat to make sure it’s doing good and developing ok.”
“Ok,” I moved onto the bed and lifted up my shirt so he could do what he needed to do.
“This won’t be a picture; it’ll just be a sound of the heartbeat.” He put the little thing on my stomach and searched for the heart beat. He stopped when he found it. To me it sounded a little faster than normal but the doctor just said, “It’s perfect, but we might need you to get a little bigger so the baby has more room. From your weight I can tell you are going to be all baby. And you might want to get some cocoa butter to prevent the stretch marks. Oh and one more thing before you go, start taking prenatal vitamins and try to take care of yourself. Make it easier for the baby to develop. No heavy lifting, nothing like that.”
“Thank you. I appreciate the help doc.”
“It’s my job I’ll see you in about a month, your due date is estimated around November seventh.”
“Okay, see you in a month.” I rubbed my stomach as we walked out the door. I’m really scared to have this baby.

I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant, it feels so unreal. Two more weeks have past. My stomach hasn’t really grown much, but Nathan and Nicole now know. I called Bree and asked her to be the god mother she happily said yes. My mom has already been trying to figure things out for where the baby will sleep and she already bought formula and diapers. My mom is happier about this than anyone. I don’t even know if I want to keep the baby. I mean I won’t abort it but I’m only a sophomore. Maybe I should give it up for adoption or something. But I know Aiden wouldn’t let me do that and neither would I. I really want this to work but I don’t know if Aiden will leave once the baby is born or what. I’m really scared. Aiden has been living with us pretty much. He’s helping me out with carrying my books even if it’s only one and he doesn’t let me get my own food he always gets it for me. He’s the sweetest guy on earth. I’m not going to lie about that. Not everyone in schools just my friends but everyone will figure it out when I get bigger. I’m not really going to tell anyone but the teachers have to know. The doctor said when ever I’m hungry I need to eat. So he said the teachers will understand if I need to bring like a little snack or something in class. And if they don’t allow it then he will write a doctors note for it. I don’t really want anyone to know I would rather be home schooled or something but I’m not going to quit just so I can leave.
I thought about this all for awhile while my mom and Aiden went shopping for some food that I have been craving. But my phone ringing pulled me out of my thoughts. I didn’t even look at it I just put it up to my ear.
“Hello?”
“Hey mommy, how are you feeling today?” Bree’s voice filled the speaker.
“I’m good just kind of relaxing because there is nothing else to do. Aiden and my mom are out shopping for food. Aiden wouldn’t let me go. He says I don’t need to be on my feet so much because I’m already on them enough during school and what not. My mom is going baby crazy buying diapers and bottles and formula. She even bought some baby food.”
“Wow, she must really miss having a baby in the house or something. But at least she didn’t like kick you out of the house and tell you that she never wanted to see you again.”
“I know and I’m glad about that.”
“Yeah, so do you have any baby names picked out?”
“Well for a boy I want either, Akira Jacob or Noah Tyler, and then for a girl Aiyanna Raine. But I have to see what Aiden thinks.”
“Those are really cute and unique if Aiden doesn’t like them I’m going to beat him up.” I laughed when she said that.
“Well I’m sure he’ll like them he wants a unique name.”
“Yeah, well I just wanted to call and see how you are doing I call you later Isaac just got here and we are about to go have some fun of our own.”
“Gosh Bree you whore. Just kidding, wear a condom and make sure it don’t break don’t want you getting pregnant like me.”
“Oh trust me I won’t, it’s called birth control.”
“Wow rub it in much?”
“I’m only joking you know I love you. Well I’ll talk to you later I really do have to go.”
“Okay, bye Bree.”
“Bye,” she hung up. I laid there for about another fifteen minutes before I heard the door slam and things being put away in my kitchen. I didn’t really feeling like going down there so I just laid in bed. I’m in my shirt bra and underwear I didn’t feel like putting my pants on after my shower. I just
