Little Pink Plus Sign of Doom

Gerard POV

"... What?" I whispered.

Then it hit me.

Like a ton of bricks.

"What?!" I very nearly screamed.

"You are...pregnant ," Esme said again. I childishly covered my ears.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I said , I couldn't be... , I wasn't...

'Oh , but you are' an annoying little voice in the back of my mind said.

So I did the thing anyone would do in this situation!

I panicked.

I bolted out of the room , ignoring Esme's calls after me , I ran faster than I've ever ran before not caring that people were staring , I just wanted to get out of this god damn place.

I threw open my car door and sat in the drivers seat , only then did I break down.

I sobbed , banging my head on the steering wheel ,making the horn let out a long deep groan , like it was crying with me.

Only after half an hour of crying did I realise what I needed to do. I drove too the nearest Walmart and picked up a 'Clearblue Home Pregnancy Test' , I felt awkward at the till , the cashiers smiled at me. "For a girlfriend?" she asked.

"Umm yeah ," I lied.

"It really is amazing - having a baby ," she smiled and touched a charm bracelet on her wrist, I could make some of it out.

' I- - - LOVE - - - MOMMY '

I absent mindedly put my hand on my flat stomach.

There might be a child in there .My baby

Frank's baby.

I took the bag from the cashier and walked quickly to the toilets. I soon found myself waiting again checking my watch.
This was it..

I took a deep breath and flipped over the test.

I gasped.

There it was. A little pink plus sign.
