It's late April. A month since we went to Florida. It's a Thursday morning. Suddenly my stomach turns and I run into the bathroom. I begin to throw up. This isn't my first time. I have been doing it this whole week. I'm late getting to school, again. At lunch Rae and B all question me.

" What's going on with you?" B asks.

" Really, I mean you've been late everyday this week!" Rae adds.

" I get really sick in the morning" I say.

" You should go to the doctor" B says.

" I am. Tomorrow" I assure her.

Then next afternoon after school I go to the doctor. They run tests. Finally a doctor comes in.

" Mallori, have you been sexually active?" She asks. I nod. " Ok, than when is the last time you had sex?"

I think. " Um, about a month ago"

" That's what I thought" she sighs. " Mallori, you are a month along on your pregnancy"

" Excuse me?!"

She begins to tell me what I am going to have to do. Regular check ups and such.

When I leave I really don't know what to tell Will. I sit in my car as a memory flashes in my mind.

~~ Spring Break, last night ~~

" I had a wonderful night" I say to Alex.

" Me too" he says. " I don't want it to end"

" Me neither" We go into his house. As we sit on the couch he begins kissing me. He goes down my neck. His kisses turn me on so much. His hand rubs up and down my leg. I can feel him growing. He starts to undo my shirt at my pleas. Soon we are both on the floor nude. And after all the moaning and screams we climax. It's the best sexual experience I've had.

When I snap out of my thoughts I remember about Will. How do you tell your boyfriend you are pregnant, and it's not even his! I know for a fact it isn't. Will and I haven't been intimate in like 3 months.

I am totally nervous as I go to his door. Instead of procrastinating about telling everyone I do it all in one day. Or that's my plan. As Will answers the door I try to be natural.

" Hey hun" he says kissing my cheek. " What's up?"

" Um, Will, I went to the doctor's office today"

" Yeah, what'd they say?"

" Well, Will...I am...well, pregnant"

" What?!" he yells. " No way!"

" Yes"

" How did this...Wait...We haven't had sex in like 3 months! Have you been cheating on me?"

I look down. " It was when we were on our break. I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did"

" How could you?" He asks. " Here a bomb shell, I slept with someone too!"

I try not to cry.

" I want nothing to do with you or this kid. I'll keep quiet about it, but I want you gone out of my life"

I begin to cry. He turns away as I walk out the door. Who could blame him? Its not his. This is my problem.

My next stop is telling Bekah and Rae. I knock on the door to Rae's house. I knew they were over there studying. Rae answers.

" Hey, how'd it go at the doctor?" She asks as we go into her living room.

" Um, surprising" I say. My eyes were still puffy and I knew they saw it.

" What's wrong Mal? What did they say?" B asks. " What is it?"

" I'm pregnant!" I say. They freeze.

" Does Will know?" Rae asks.

" Yes"

" And he said..." B asks.

" HE wants nothing to do with me or the baby"

" What a jerk!" They both say.

" No, he's not."

" What do you mean?"

" It isn't his!"

Again they are in shock. " Whose is it?" Rae asks slowly.

" Alex's"

" Who?" they ask. " Oh yeah...Him"

" Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do"

" What about going to FSU?" B asks.

" And moving to Florida?" Rae adds. " And making it with RMB?"

" Guys. I'm sorry!" I cry. " It's all my fault that RMB will never be big!"

" No, Mal, it's OK. This baby is what you need to worry about"

" I know. I'm sure that all I will do is stay here and go to a community college. And live with my parents until I can get everything made out"

" I guess"

" Speaking of which, I need to go tell them" They hug me and I go home.

When I get home my parents are eating dinner. I cried all the way home.

" What did the doctor say?" My mom asks although I know she knows already. Just one of those motherly feelings.

I stay silent.

" I knew it" My mom murmurs. " You're pregnant aren't you?"

Although I know she knew, I just was taken back by it. All I do is nod. Both sigh with disappointment.

All I can say is " I'm sorry"

" Does Will know?" my dad asks.

" Yes"

" And?"

" He wants nothing to do with me"

" What? Well it takes two to make a baby and he is gonna pay for this child..."

" Dad! Stop!" Both of them look at me. " It's not his!"

" What?" my mom yells. " Whose is it?"

" Alex's"

" Who the hell is that?" My dad asks. I tell them about Spring Break and who Alex is.

The are not happy with me. We talk about it all for a long time. Finally we decide I will just go to a community college and live at home until I'm ready. They are being wonderful about it all.
