~CITPRINCESS3~
That was all I was able to text before I was forced to turn off my phone by, the OB/GYN nurse. Who would've thought that I would be having a baby out of wedlock- with him! What am I going to do? Not abort it, well that may be an option, I wouldn't want to raise a child all by myself… My inner rant was interrupted by Dr. Nachrichten, opening the door.
Dr. Ruby Nachrichten was a "plump" woman, and she had this fire-red hair, that was always perfectly straightened, and her skin was always over-tanned.
"Courtney, I am going to need you to put your arm out, were going to test your blood and check your hcG levels okay!", she said in a diabetes inducing voice. She took the blood, and then giggled, "Okay, your results should be ready around 11:30."
I opened the door of my red Volkswagen Beetle, slammed it. On the way home, I got to thinking. How would I tell him, could I be blunt about this, or, should I be subtle?
Once, I pulled into the parking lot, Duncan's Dodge Caliber parked right next to me.
We awkwardly said hello, and he followed me to get his things.
"Duncan, I have something to ask you." I shyly murmured.
"Shoot." He responded, while picking a box of his things.
"Are you happy with Gwen?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm and jealousy in my voice.
"Not this crap again Princess, Gwen told me how bitter you were. I know it's hard to get over the charms of Duncan Moore, but try your best.", He rebutted being humorous.
"Really Duncan, Really?", I chided. "You think you are all that and you really aren't. I'm pretty sure you would be bitter too, if the person you loved for two years dumped you for some "Freaky Goth Girl" with no soul."
"You know what Courtney, I'm glad I broke up with you, because the idea of spending the rest of my life with you, makes Death Row sound amazing!" He replied with raising his voice with each syllable, but I could tell that he was covering up another emotion with this "anger".
At this point, we were arguing so loud that we didn't hear the phone the ring, but, we did hear the beep, of the answering machine, and the message afterward.
"Congratulations Miss. Lopez, You're pregnant! About, twelve weeks along, so need to schedule for your first pre-natal appointment, As soon as possible. Thanks, and see you soon"! Dr. Nachrichten cooed.
For the first time in my life, I was speechless. I couldn't raise a child, I'm only 21 years old, and I'm not married. Oh my god! What will my parents think of me? What will Duncan think?
"So you didn't just call me over here to get my crap? You're really pregnant?", he inquired with no emotion in his voice.
"You just heard the doctor didn't you." I replied with angst and aggravation. He just glared at me in returned.
"So what do you want me to do Courtney?" Duncan asked with the sternest look I've ever seen on his face.
"I want you to… I want you to… ", I stammered.
"Well spit it out Courtney!" Duncan hollered infuriated.
"I want to know why; I want to know why you broke up with me for Gwen?" I rebutted.
Duncan then grabbed my shoulders, his aqua orbs locked onto my mocha ones. "I'm sorry Courtney, I was scared. I was scared of my feelings for you. I mean back on the island I "loved" that woman. I never loved you, and when I say love, I mean, I would do anything for you. Give you the shirt off my back, kill for you, Courtney Daniela Lopez, I'd die right here, and right now for you if it meant that you would be okay. That night I told Gwen that you were over-bearing, controlling, too attached, and that you were a bit of a neat freak, but, the other day. I realized that you weren't an excess of those things, but, that I didn't have enough. I was meek, too distant, and Courtney, I'm a mess. I went to Gwen, because I thought that she was what I needed, but Princess, she was too much like me. I need an opposite, someone that wants to sleep ,when I wanna "do it"; Someone that wants sun, when I want rain; Someone that wants right, when I want wrong; I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day." Duncan ended his monologue, and gave me this look, as if he wanted me to say something.
Not a word could describe how I felt right now. So I just gave him this kiss. It wasn't an ordinary kiss. This kiss told him everything that words couldn't. I told him how I accepted his apology, I told him how angry and bitter I was, but I really told him how much I wanted him too.
This kiss had started to turn into something more, when I felt his strong hands clench my tiny, but growing waist.
"Duncan, Wait." I reprimanded. "Aren't you still dating Gwen?"
Duncan just let go of me and his demeanor became cold. "Duncan, answer me!" I hollered.
"She broke up with me, as soon as she found out where I was going." He finally answered in a sullen tone.
"She broke up with you, because you were coming to get your stuff?", I said utterly baffled.
"No Courtney, because I was going to break up with her, and come back to you, even if you weren't having my kid.", he commented oozing with, boyish charm.
In response, I just let a warm smile liven up my face. To think about it, I haven't sincerely smiled since Duncan dumped me.
"Duncan do you wanna stay for pizza or something?", I asked emitting a fake child-like innocence.
"You know what Princess, I'd love to.", He accepted while coming from behind and then saying this, This is going to be a long nine months.
