Chapter 10
Nicole woke up with the sudden urge
to throw up. She ran to the bathroom and bent over the toilet.
It had been 2 months since the guys had left and every morning for the past week Nicole had been getting sick.
Amanda woke up at the sound of Nicole running down the hall (yet again) and went to see if she was okay. She silently waited for Nicole to finish before knocking on the door.
"Come in." Nicole said getting up to brush her teeth.
Amanda opened up the door and poked her head inside, before walking in.
"You okay?" Amanda asked looking at her with worry in her voice. Amanda had a faint idea of what was going on, although Nicole didn't.
"Yeah I'm fine. Oh my, no I'm not." Nicole's face went pale as she bent over the toilet-again.
Amanda again waited for her to finish, silently holding Nicole's long hair away from her sweaty face. Nicole flushed the toilet and grabbed a wet cloth to wipe her face away.
"Nicole I think we need to talk. Sit down."Amanda gestured to the side of the tub and Nicole obediently followed.
"Nicole, why do you think you've been getting sick every morning for the past week?" Amanda glanced at Nicole.
"Idunno, I'm probably just getting sick, is all." Nicole smiled and went to get up, but Amanda grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.
"Um...." Amanda started, "well Nicole, I was just wondering...did you and Nick... use...condoms?"
Amanda looked at her friend who suddenly had a look of complete horror on her face. Nicole shot up and started screaming gibberish at the mirror she was looki ng at.
"CONDOMS?!?!?! Oh funk!! (Hehe, that's NOT what she said!) What was I thinking? Oh shit!" Nicole started crying she was so upset and Amanda stood up.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back." Amanda ran out the door and down the hall, and returned a minute later with a small blue box.
"Here, I always keep a pregnancy test in my top drawer. Take it and call me back in here when you finish.We'll wait together."
Amanda left the bathroom so Nicole could do her "business".
A few minutes later Amanda was let back in the bathroom. They waited silently sittting on the floor against the counter for 5 minutes.
"It's time to check." Amanda mumbled.
Nicole closed her eyes and reached over her head. She grabbed the little stick and brought it down on her lap, still not opening her eyes.
She heard Amanda groan and swear and Nicole opened up one eye just a slit. Immediatly she saw a big blurred pink square.Her eyes popped open and she sat there, speechless.
"Congradulations, Nicole, you're pregnant."
