Chapter 27 ~ Positive or Negative?

Episode: Season 7 - The Girl With The Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo Pt. 1

I could feel my heart thundering in my chest, anxiety creeping up on me as I brushed my teeth that morning. Just one look in the bathroom mirror confirmed what I already knew - dark circles under my eyes and my usually tan skin paler than normal. I hadn't slept hardly at all last night. Instead, I stayed up - worrying. After spitting out a wad of toothpaste from my mouth into the pristine white sink, I let a sigh pass between my lips as my eyes landed on the test beside me before glancing down at the watch on my wrist.

Nope. Still two more minutes to go. Against my better judgement and after a lot of procrastinating on my part, I decided to heed my best friend's advice and take the stupid test. I needed to know - I knew that. But still...right now...it was just an idea, a thought. If it was positive - everything would be real.

Right now I could still believe that maybe it was all just a bad dream, just a pregnancy scare that I could - hopefully - never have to tell Dean about. Suddenly, knuckles rapping on the closed bathroom door shook me from my thoughts and my head snapped to the sound.

"Park, hurry up! I still have to take my shower!" Dean growled from the other side, his grumpy mood making an appearance after his 'routine' was interrupted.

Rolling my eyes, I was just about to retort something back at him when I was cut off by my watch beeping. A lump formed in my throat then and I felt my heart sink to my stomach. That's it - it was done. Letting out a shaky breath, I glanced between it and the door before snatching it off the counter, shoving it into my pocket. With my hand on the doorknob, I twisted it and let it swing open to reveal my stubbly, adorable, yet disgruntled boyfriend. Then again, that made him more attractive in my eyes.

His jaw was clenched slightly, the muscle feathering behind his skin. Usually, it only made me want to kiss him. But this time, the sight of him made my stomach turn, feeling nervous butterflies erupt in my stomach. Ducking my head down, I wordlessly brushed past him, leaving him looking back at me in confusion at the lack of his morning kiss. But seconds later, he recovered and I heard the door shut behind him. Sam glanced up at me from his bed across from me as I sat down on the one I shared with Dean last night.

He was tossing clothes back into his suitcase haphazardly, disturbing my OCD slightly but I let it slide this time. Besides, I had too much on my mind to worry about him. The shower turned on then and finally, Sam made his way over to me. He perched on the edge of the bed, his leg touching mine as he did, giving me a slight bit of comfort to have my best friend so close.

"Have you looked at it yet?" he asked me quietly and I shook my head, feeling my mood swing with the question.

Tears threatened to fill my eyes but I blinked them back, too scared to look at the test still hidden inside my pocket.

"What if- oh gosh, Sam, what if it's true? What if I'm really..." I shook my head, unable to finish my sentence.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself down before finally, I drew the test out. Holding it facing-down, I glanced back up to Sam and he gave me a small smile of encouragement. With shaking hands, I flipped the test over and couldn't help the strangled cry that burst free from my lips. Two lines blinked back up at me before my eyes clouded over with fresh, hot tears.

"Sam...Sammy, I'm-I'm pregnant. I'm-" I hiccuped, choking on the words altogether as the dam behind my eyes broke and the tears came out in an onslaught of emotion.

In an instant, he pulled me into his chest and I let it all out. His hand moved up and down my back in act of comfort but nothing could suppress the turmoil in my heart and in my head at the moment. I was having a baby - there was a living, breathing human growing inside of me. And it was mine. It was Dean's. Ours.

But...at the same time, it broke my heart. Because, I wasn't ready for this.Β 

Even at 27, I just wasn't ready.

Note: Btw, anybody wanting to hate on Parker for not being ready to raise a kid even at her age will get a personal reply from me cause seriously, not all people want kids and no one should judge :)
