I knew it was coming, but when Nathan had to leave again, I was heart broken. I was in bits and I even considered dropping out of the XFactor, but my family supported me and I'm now through to the six chair challenge. The girls in my category are: Lucy, Lauren, Tiffany, Bianca, Katrina, Whitney, Janet, Anna, Jane and me. At the moment, I'm at home witb Lily and we are watching Ellen.
"I wish I could meet Ellen on day Lily." I say.
Lily doesn't pay attention. I put her on her play mat and proceed to make a sandwich in the kitchen. I begin to feel dizzy, but I just shake it off. I'm sitting, eating my sandwich when I begin to feel incredibly sick. I put my plate on 're table and call Dion.
"Hello?" Says Dion.
"Dion. Something's wrong. I feel really I'll and I'm scared." I say.
"Harper. It's ok. Have you eaten anything nasty r taken anything?" Asks Dion.
"No." I say.
"When did the feeling of illness start?" Asks Dion.
"Yesterday." I say.
"Ok. I'm at work at the moment, but I can take my break early. Stay exactly where you are. Is the front door on the latch?" Asks Dion.
"I'll put it in now." I say.
I get up and put the door on the latch. I sit back on the couch and then start to feel drowsy. About 15 minutes pass and Dion comes through the door. I'm conscious, but I feel so ill.
"Harper. I need to call an ambulance." Says Dion.
"No. No ambulance. I think it's just a really bad stomach bug. I've had this before. My medications is in the cupboard." I say.
Dion gets me my pills and then I take them.
"I'm so sorry for making you come home like this. I knew what was wrong. I was frightened." I say.
"Its ok. You needed help and you were scared. I'm glad you called me. What if something were to happen and you were alone?" Says Dion.
"Thank you. You're a good friend." I say.
"When is the six chair challenge?" Asks Dion.
"Two days." I say.
"Are you checking into a hotel?" Asks Dion.
"Yeah. I have no one to watch Lily though." I say.
"I have a week off work. I can come to the hotel with you, or you could leave he with me." Says Dion.
"I'd like you to come. I had a ticket for Rachel, but she has a meeting thag she can't miss." I say.
"Ok. I should be heading back now so I can start work again in time. Promise me that you'll call if you feel ill again." Says Dion.
"I promise." I say.
Dion leaves and then I sit Lily on my lap. I turn Ellen off and go upstairs with my daughter. I put her on my bed and I turn cartoons on. I go into the bathroom and leave both doors open so I can keep an eye on Lily whilst I'm taking a shower. Just as I'm getting out, I hear Lily begin to cry and I rush to the room in panic, hoping something hasn't happened.
"What's wrong Lil?" I say.
I take a look at her and all it seems is that she is hungry.
"Its alright bubba. Mummy is going to get dressed and then she'll get some food for you." I say.
Lily settles and I manage to get dressd and out my hair up without any further interruptions.
"See. It's not so hard to keep quiet for 5 minutes is it?" I say.
I take Lily downstairs and sit her in her beanbag on the floor in the kitchen. I then open the cupboard to get a mug and I see the mug I got from Lily to him for fathers day. I start to tear up, but wipe them away when I hear Lily giggle. I make a cup of tea and then sit at the island and type away on my computer. I am on Facebook and then my phone starts ringing. Hanna.
"Hello?" I say.
"Harper. Can you come round?" Asks Hanna.
"Hanna. Why are you crying? What's wrong? What's happened?" I ask.
"Can you come?" Asks Hanna.
"Yeah. I'll be there in five." I say.
I end the call and grab Lily from her been bag. I put her in her car seat and speed towards Hanna's. I have a key, so I let myself in. I walk around and soon find her bawling her eyes out on the bathroom floor.
"Hanna!" I exclaim.
I put Lily on the floor in her car seat and take Hanna into my arms.
"Hanna. What's this?" I ask, picking up something that's wrapped up in huge amounts of tissue.
"Look at it." Says Hanna who has calmed down.
"Oh my God." I say as I stare, wide eyed, at the white stick with a pink plus.
"I need your help." Says Hanna.
"Wait it says your already four months along. How did you not realize?" I ask.
"I thought I was getting fat and I got the rare occasion of morning sickness." Says Hanna.
"Who's the dad?" I ask.
"I don't know. But the guy I had sex with around 4 months ago was Rykard." Says Hanna.
"Oh Hanna." I say.
"I can't believe this." Says Hanna.
"Look. Are you still speaking to Rykard?" I ask.
"Of course. He's my boyfriend." Says Hanna.
"Have you told him?" I ask.
"No." Says Hanna.
"Give me your phone." I say.
"Why?" Says Hanna.
"Just give it to me!" I say.
Hanna passes me her phone. I can't work out her password so I use siri. The phone starts to ring and Rykard picks up after 6 tones.
"Hello?" Says Rykard.
"Rykard. It's Harper. Hanna's mate." I say.
"Oh hi. How are you?" Asks Rykard.
"I'm great. There's something you should know." I confess.
"What?" Says Rykard.
"Hanna. Tel him." I say.
I put the phone on speaks and Hanna slowly starts tell him the life changing news.
"Hanna, what's wrong?" Asks Rykard.
"Please don't hate me. Says Hanna.
"Hanna. I could never hate you." Says Ryakrd.
"I'm pregnant." Says Hanna.
