RECAP:
She nodded her head and took both of the tests to the till. "Do you want to do this now, or wait until we get back to Wilmette?" I asked as we were about to walk out of the store.
"Lets wait. We're only 20 minutes away." She pushed open the door and we headed back to the car.
I opened the car door and hopped in. I was greeted by a nervous looking Joe and a confused Pete.
"What's going on?" Pete mouthed as Joe started the car.
"I'll tell you later." I mouthed back. He nodded and I rested my head on his shoulder once again. His hand went up to my hair and started twirling the strands. I relaxed and thought about what would happen if Sadie was pregnant.
Things just got a little more interesting.
END OF RECAP
The alarm on my watch went off and I nodded to Sadie. She got up and took a deep breath before picking up the test, eyes closed.
She opened her eyes and stared for what seemed like ever.
"Well..."
"I'm not pregnant." She said, with little emotion.
"Do you want to try the other one, just to be sure?" I asked.
She nodded her head and we started the process for the second time.
The alarm went off once again. Sadie got up and walked over to the second test.
"Negative." She sighed.
I watched her, taking in her emotions. "You wanted a baby didn't you?"
"I don't..." She looked up at me, tears in her eyes. "Yes." She nodded, letting the tears cascade down her cheek.
"Shh. It's okay. There's still plenty of time. It's not like you'll never have a baby, just not right now. Well technically you could if you and Joe were trying but..." I sighed, realizing I wasn't getting anywhere.
"You know what?" I rubbed her back.
"What?" She sniffled.
"You need a hot water bottle, some tea, and a movie. Stay over tonight, we'll talk." I suggested.
"O..okay." She said through tears.
Sadie had fallen asleep sprawled out on my couch, a tub of ice cream on her stomach. I laughed and took the ice cream, replacing it with a blanket.
I went into my bedroom and plopped down on the bed. I sighed to myself as a million thoughts went through my mind.
I lost my damn Ipod at the beach. I have to get a new one soon....
What would've happened if Sadie was pregnant?
What's with Pete and I? What are we?
I start work tomorrow.
I wonder what's-
My thoughts were interrupted by a soft knocking at the door, so soft that I almost didn't notice it. I got up and tip toed over to the door. I unlocked the door and opened as much as the chain lock would allow me.
It was Joe.
No, it was Joe and Pete.
"Can I come in?" Joe said quietly.
I closed the door and undid the chain. I opened the door once again and got a good look at Joe. He was paler than usual and seemed jittery. Pete kept glancing at Joe and patting him reassuringly.
I opened my mouth to say something but Joe quickly stopped me.
"Is she? Am I going to be a father? Is she pregnant? Is Sadie going to have a baby?!" He asked me not only very fast, but very loudly.
"Shh! She's sleeping." I shushed him. I wasn't sure if Sadie wanted to tell him herself or if I should just go ahead and tell him.
I didn't have too much time to consider this as Sadie stirred on the couch and sat up.
"Joe?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.
He rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm not..." she said quietly, burying her head in his chest.
He stroked her hair and sat with her. I immediately felt awkward standing there, so I shifted my weight and motioned Pete into my bedroom.
It's so NOT what you are thinking.
I closed the door and breathed out. "Wow." Was all I could get out.
"So she's not pregnant?" Pete asked as he sat on my office chair.
I shook my head and sat on my bed. "No. But I think she wanted to be pregnant. So she could have that permanent connection with Joe. She loves him so much and if anything ever happened, they would still have a child together, ya know?"
Pete nodded his head and looked around at my room. I didn't get much done with it before we went to the cottage, but I did manage to get my computer set up. (Hence the office chair)
It was then, watching Pete scan around my room, that I realized how awkward this could have been. I inwardly gave a sigh of relief, knowing that even though my mind was racing a mile a minute with the 'Pete and I' situation, I was playing it cool on the outside.
Suddenly Pete stopped and looked at me, a look of understanding etched on his face.
"I can understand why Sadie would feel that way, but I really don't think Joe and Sadie will be breaking up anytime soon. Ever since we dropped you guys off here, Joe wouldn't stop talking about having a baby with Sadie. He even started thinking of ways to leave a tour if she went into labor. He sounded so....happy with the idea of a baby. Especially a baby with Sadie."
"Well at least this is showing us that if she ever does get pregnant, they'll stay together through it all."
The room fell silent once again and I looked out of my window, realizing that just about anyone with a good set of eyes or binoculars could see into my room perfectly. I shrugged it off for now, reminding myself to get curtains later.
Pete walked over to the door and opened it slightly. He turned around, smiling.
"I think I might be here a while. Sadie and Joe are still just as we left them."
I crept over to the door and looked out. Sure enough, Joe was stroking Sadie's hair lovingly and holding her tightly while whispering things into her ear. I smiled to myself and closed my door gently.
"Stay the night. I have to work tomorrow but not until noon. We've got time." I smiled.
"Sure. Are you tired now?" He asked me.
I glanced at the clock. 10:37 pm.
"No. Not really. Before you got here I was just lying down thinking about...well...everything."
"Sounds good to me. I have to catch up on some thinking." He winked and I laughed at him. I turned of my light and turned on the lamp beside my bed.
"I'm going to go change." I grabbed my Misfits Crimson Ghost pajama pants and a plain black shirt that says 'The Only Difference Between You And Me Is Our Medications'.
When I came back, Pete was in bed and from what I could see, topless. I crawled into bed (which was big enough for Pete, me, and probably Patrick. What can I say, I like to think about Patrick.) I giggled to myself at this thought and Pete turned over and looked at me.
"Did I miss something?"
"Nope. Not unless you heard the voices in my head too."
"You have them too?!" He asked excitedly.
"Yeah. I call them Audrey, Marilyn, and Sophia."
"I'm guessing you like to watch old black and white movies." He laughed.
"How'd you ever guess that?" I asked him sarcastically.
We just laid on the bed in silence, sorting through our thoughts, when Pete suddenly broke the silence.
Rest in the results!
"What are you thinking about right now?"
I didn't take any time to think about my answer. "The future."
My answer seemed to catch Pete a little off guard, but he quickly recovered. "What about the future?"
"I'm not sure really. I'm wondering if I'm ever going to see my mom again, how my job is going to go, dying my hair. You know, the simple stuff."
Pete chuckled. "I'm also thinking about further into the future. Like how many kids I want, if I even want to get married, how I hate the idea of a perfect life." I turned around and faced him. "I would never want a huge house with a white picket fence. I'm not that kind of girl, you know?"
Pete nodded his head and we went back into silence. Just as I was about to fall asleep I heard Pete say one last thing.
"I like that about you."
AWE. So this is double digits! I can't believe it! WOO HOO! NUMERO TEN! YAY! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. School is horrible (I'm not out for another..24 days) and I don't like to put a chapter out unless I actually like it.!
