[color=hotpink][i]Shit, shit, shit...[/i] The color seemed to immediately drain from Sean's face, and Allison began to panic. [i]I shouldn't have told him. Shouldn't have said a word. It may not even be his...! Shit...[/i] Her face flushed red with embarrassment, though to be honest he was taking it better than she thought he would. In all the movies, the guys went straight to accusing and blaming the girl, and usually they would insist on an abortion. But he was different. Instead, he seemed to take a legitimate pause to wrap his head around things.

His first question was obvious - yes, she was pregnant. [b]"There's no mistaking it. This is for real..."[/b] Even though she said that, she still felt like she was in some sort of twisted dream. [b]"I missed my period and have been sick every morning. That's why I went to the doctor. She said there's no doubt."[/b] At his second question though, she paused and looked down at her hands nervously. There was no denying she was a total sex-craving slut, now was there? Although normally she could play it off as being one night where she had "a bit too much", she knew that she would have to be honest with him about something this serious. [b]"I'm, uh, actually not entirely certain..."[/b] She looked up at him. [b]"I mean, I was with a couple other guys around the same time... but the day we met matches up almost perfect, according to the doctor. They said if I'm uncertain though, that you should come in for a DNA test..."[/b] At this point she was rambling a bit, feeling just as overwhelmed as he looked. [b]"I'll pay for it, of course. I mean, I understand if you don't want to, or if you don't want anything to do with this, but I would like to know...[/b]

Her heart ached at the mention of an abortion, and she quickly shook her head. [b]"No. I... I thought about it all night. I just... couldn't..."[/b] Her hands fluttered up to her still-flat stomach. She was relieved that they seemed to agree on that. [b]"Honestly..."[/b] Allison looked at the table in front of her, not even protesting when he paid for her check. [b]"I... I don't know. I don't even know why I came here, or why I tried so hard to get ahold of you. I just, I was surprised, and it seemed like the thing to do, and maybe I thought you should know... I don't know... I thought you would want to know if a mini version of you might be walking around, and maybe I thought you could be involved... but I know you probably want nothing to do with this, and I'm just really embarrassed and overwhelmed and I can't turn to my parents and my best friend wouldn't even look at me if she knew and I don't know what to do or where to go or how to support this baby and I just thought that if I at least knew the name of the father I could... I-I could..."[/b] Her rambling slowly began to dissolve into sobs as she, for the first time since hearing the news, allowed herself to break down. Tears began to stream down her face and she quickly moved to wipe them away, feeling all kinds of emotions all at once. Fear, sadness, frustration, loneliness... It all welled up at once in front of this boy she barely even knew - and who might be the father to the unborn infant in front of her. The gravity of it weighed especially heavy in this moment.

[b]"... shit..."[/b] Allison was embarrassed to be seen like this in front of a stranger, let alone one of the boys she had hooked up with. At the time, she hadn't even imagined seeing him again. Now look at her... Carrying his damn child. Possibly. Everything was so overwhelming, she didn't seem to fully comprehend his offer to be involved. Her heart ached and she really just wished she could disappear.[/color]
