Almost Unbreakable

I hooked my purse on the hook by the door. I had just gotten back from the grocery store feeling riduclously sick. I had been feeling this way for the past week and I just had this gut instinct.

This was not just any sickness.

"Hey babe." Andy said from his place on the couch. His new cat Crow was on his lap and my own cat Riot was beside him.

"Hey." I said, shakily. He quirked an eyebrow.

"Are you alright?" He asked and I swore under my breath. Damn him and his stupid insticts!

"I'm f-fine." I said, walking over to him. He placed his hands on my hips and leaned up to kiss me. I didn't really kiss back and I knew he could tell.

"Something is up with you." He said, pulling me so I sat beside him. He wrapped his arm around me and I leaned into his side. "When are you going to learn you can't lie to me? I know you too well." I reached around him and picked up my little black furred, blue eyed kitten. She purred at my touch and I suddenly was worried if getting these cats was wrong. We might have a lot on our plates..

"Nothing is wrong, I just need to use the restroom." I said, standing up. I glanced at the calendar by the door, when I grabbed my purse. Yep, I missed my period. Shit.

"Oh okay." Andy said, skeptically. I bolted to the bathroom in our bedroom and immediately pulled out the pregnancy test I had just purchased. I pulled my pants down and sat on the toilet, glancing over the directions quickly.

I peed on it, my heart pounding the entire time. I'm too young for this. At twenty one! Who would have thought? Andy and I were always so careful. How could this ever happen?

I stood, and pulled my pants up. I walked over to the sink not ready to look at it yet. I knew it had developed but I couldn't bring myself to look.

I washed my hands, all the while keeping my eyes closed. That is until I heard a shocked gasp from beside me.

I snapped them open, looking first at Andy then at the positive pregnancy test.

"Fuck.." He said, biting his lip ring. "I knew it, Daisy! Why the hell didn't you tell me!?" He was fuming and I was so shocked I could barely breath.

"I didn't know until now." I said, softly. "I was worried. I don't want to be a mom." I sank to the floor and he followed me, wrapping his arms around my tiny frame and pulling me on his lap. "I can't do this. I was just hoping it wasn't going to happen to me." I was now full on sobbing and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He rocked me back and forth, stroking my hair. "Are you mad?" I asked, looking up at him.

"No!" He said, wiping away my tears. "I could never be mad but.." He sighed, shaking his head, "We have options, D. Adoption and abortion, if you don't want it."

"You know I'm against abortion! I'm a fucking vegan, Andy, we don't kill things!" I sobbed.

"I know, I know shh." He said, hugging me to him.

"What about touring?" I sniffled. "You can't have a baby with you. Your lifestyle is not suited for this! Hell, mine isn't either anymore! I'm a fucking model now!"

"Daisy, your worrying yourself too much. It's fine, I promise honey." He said, kissing my forehead, "But I want you to marry me." I ripped away from him and started into his eyes.

"What?" I said, seething. He reached for my hand but I pulled away.

"Daisy, I've been thinking about this for a while. I love you, and you love me. Why can't we just be forever?" He asked. I shook my head, feeling tears come to my eyes.

"When were you going to tell me this?" I asked.

"Daisy are you really getting upset about me proposing to you?" He said, exasperated.

"Yes! Because you wouldn't have if you hadn't just found out I was flipping pregnant with your damn baby!" I stood up, "You know what I just need a little time. I'm going for a drive." I walked out of the bathroom, hearing him follow after me.

"Daisy, don't so this!" He shouted. I grabbed my keys, and faux leather jacket.

"I just need a little time by myself." I said, opening the door and slamming it. To my surprise he didn't follow me.
