Kie's POV:

I was seventeen and in my junior year of high school. There was this one night when JJ and I were alone at the Chateau and we hooked up. It was stupid and we both agreed it meant nothing, but then it happened again and again and again. We've been casually sleeping together for about a month. It only happened maybe five to seven times and then we agreed that we had to stop before things got complicated.

We didn't want John B, Pope, or Sarah to find out. We both agreed that it should never have happened, so we stopped. Things went back to normal, literally, JJ and I were able to pretend like it never happened. It's been a while since our last hookup. Tonight, there was a party at the Boneyard and we were all there. My stomach was cramping on my right side and I really didn't think about it much, however, the pain continued to increase.

I asked Pope if he could take me home as he had the keys to the Twinkie. I didn't even drink tonight as I was in so much pain. Pope told me it could be appendicitis and to keep an eye on it as it's a life-threatening thing that would require surgery. 

I walked inside, went to my room, and took a hot shower. I thought the hot shower might make things feel better. It usually works when my cramps are bad or I have ovulation pain. I laid in my bed and asked my mom to come into my room. I told her about my pain and she gave me some Advil. The pain didn't go away, it continued to get worse so we went to the emergency room.

My mom and dad went with me and they did all the basic tests - blood pressure, temperature, height/weight, etc. I was brought back to a room and they were going to run a bunch of tests to figure out what was going on.

"Alright, Kiara, when was the date of your last menstrual cycle?" The nurse asked

I didn't really remember but told her I'm due to start any day now. My mom thought maybe I had really bad period cramps or an ovarian cyst. They were taking me to do an ultrasound to check things out. Thankfully, my parents weren't in the room because the ultrasound was the one that goes inside me.

I was taken back to the room and then brought for further testing. I had a CT scan and they had given me medication for the pain, which was nice that I didn't feel like dying anymore. The doctor came in and said, "We're going to get an OR ready and then take Kiara to surgery"

"Is it her appendix?" My dad asked

"No, Kiara is experiencing something called a tubal pregnancy, meaning the fetus is growing in the fallopian tube and causing internal bleeding. We need to act quickly so she doesn't lose her ovaries if she wishes to have children in the future" The doctor said as nurses began to prep me for surgery

I was pregnant. Holy shit. I didn't even realize that I was pregnant and this is crazy news. My parents looked at me and they looked disappointed but they weren't going to say anything yet, not before surgery.

"Is there anyone you want us to call?" My mom asked

She was just trying to get me to tell her who the baby daddy was and there was no way I was going to tell them it was JJ. Oh my gosh, JJ! I got pregnant from hooking up with JJ, my best friend. How the hell am I supposed to tell him?

I guess, I'll worry about that later because I'm off to surgery. When I woke up, my stomach was pretty sore from the surgery. The doctor said the procedure went well and I was going to make a full recovery. Once the meds wore off, my parents were now ready to talk.

"How could you be so irresponsible and get pregnant?" My mom asked

"It's not like I meant to"

"Who is the father?" My dad demanded

"It doesn't matter... I'm not having a baby"

"It does matter. You were pregnant, you were having unprotected sex with some random boy and it almost ruined your life"

"Almost? I mean I think this is pretty traumatizing" I challenged

"It's for the best. The last thing you need is to be a teen mom" My dad yelled at me

My parents were pissed at me for getting pregnant. Since the surgery went well, they didn't really care about me being okay anymore. But this was a lot. I found out that I was pregnant, that it was dangerous, the fetus wouldn't survive outside the uterus, and I could have died from internal bleeding. It was a lot.

My mom and dad went down to the cafeteria to get some coffee as they have been up all night. A nurse came in and told me that I had a visitor. There stood JJ Maybank.

"What are you doing here?" I asked surprised and praying my parents wouldn't see him here

"Pope told us this morning about how much pain you were in last night. He said it was probably your appendix and when you weren't home, I figured you'd be here so here I am. So how are you?"

"Jayge, it wasn't my appendix... I was pregnant" I said explaining it all to him

I watched his eyes fill with tears and he hugged me and said, "I'm so sorry, Kie... This is all my fault. I should have worn a condom"

"It's not all your fault. It takes two to tango"

He hugged me and his hug made me feel so much better. My parents were on their way back up by now and I should have kicked JJ out so they didn't see him, but instead, I asked, "Will you please stay with me?"

"Of course" He said crawling into my hospital bed with me as he pulled me into his arms

He lightly kissed my head and he said, "I'm here for you, Kie"

"Thank you, I'm here for you too"

"For me?" He asked confused

"It was your baby too... I know you aren't one to want kids and neither am I, but it's still sad"

"Yeah, it is... Kie, maybe someday when we're older we can have a kid together"

"Really?" I asked surprised

"Really, we'd be pretty good parents together"

"I love you, Jayge" I whispered

"I love you, Kie" He whispered back

No one's POV:

Mike and Anna returned from the cafeteria with coffee and breakfast for themselves. When the walked into their daughters room, they saw her curled up in the hospital bed with JJ Maybank. The two quietly backed out of the room to give the teens some space.

They sat in the waiting room and it wasn't hard for them to figure out that JJ was the father. Mike and Anna would be talking to their daughter later but for now, they decided to give her and JJ some time alone. Time for the two to process and grieve together.
