Enchantress

Chapter - 9

Emily Fields POV :

I and my boyfriend, Freddie King have gone for an vacation to Venice during our holidays. I didn't want to leave Jen alone because I already know that Stacy is also leaving the country to meet her parents. But I couldn't make Freddie understand this situation. He didn't want me to dig into Jen's problems. And also my friends have forced me to go for an vacation. So I and Freddie planned to go on a ten days tour.

But within five days, we are heading back to Milan. I was not feeling good lately. As soon as I reached the dorm, I removed my shoes and jumped on the
bed. I was too tired to change or unpack. When I was laying on my stomach, Jen came from her shift. I rolled around to look at her and I could say she's surprised to see me this soon.

" Em, I didn't expect you this early. I missed you so so much ". She squealed and jumped on me.

" Aww Jen, I missed you too but get down. Lemme breathe. I'm sick ". She literally squeezed me.

" Sick? Are you okay, Em ?". Her expressions suddenly changed and she rolled down from off me.

" I'm not okay. I throw up last night and I've been feeling fatigue for past three days. I'm sick Jen ". I explained her and slowly rolled to her side and hugged her.

She gently hugged me back and patted my lower back. " What about your periods, Em ?". She asked me carefully.

That's when I got alarmed. My periods are two weeks late by now. My heart literally stopped by the thought of me being..... " No no no.... It can't be. But the symptoms says otherwise. Oh my freaking god, please don't make this possible !". I mentally prayed to my dear God and stared at Jen blankly.

" Don't give me that look, Em !. Are you periods regular ?". She again asked me but this time in a serious tone.

" I'm two weeks late ". I uttered and immediately she stood up from the bed and gave me an ' don't you dare ' look.

" You must be kidding me. This isn't any kind of freaking joke ". She yelled at me.

" But Jen... What if... What if am...?". My words got stuck in my throat and tears formed in my eyes out of fear.

" Shut up, Em. We can't conclude anything unless you take an test. Wait here, lemme go get you an kit ". Saying this she stormed out of the dorm.

I waited patiently for her to come with the test kit. I wasn't thinking straight and was lost in my thoughts. Within minutes, Jen came and handed me the test kit. I went to the washroom, peed on the kit and waited for the result. My whole world collapsed when two coloured lines appeared on the strip.

" I'm pregnant. Emily Freaking Fields is pregnant !".

I looked at the bathroom mirror in front of me and saw my face which is now drenched in tears.  Neither happy nor sad, I didn't feel any emotion. Now I know that am pregnant and I've no idea about what am gonna do with that. I'm just 21 and still an student. But am to blame?. I did this. I'm responsible. I slept with Freddie and I don't regret sleeping with him because he is the love of my life. The only question that's running in my mind is,

" What would be Freddie's reaction ?".

With an heavy heart and confusion mind, I walked out of the bathroom with the pregnancy kit in my hand. Jen came rushing to me and snatched the kit from my hand. Her eyes became full round shape and she looked at me with utter shock.

" Em... You... You are... ". She looked beyond shocked.

" I'm pregnant !". I completed her sentence. We both stood there for a good few minutes and looked at each other as if either one of us have turned into an alien with two heads.
Jen opened her mouth to say something but Stacy choosed this moment to walk in with her heavy luggage. We both looked at her and she was mummering some Eminem's song. She swirled around like an Disney princess it her short skirt and jumped on me for an hug.
