I dont know the date. I know its June, 2008. I had missed 2 periods, and I was scared. Leo and I were driving around, and I said "Babe, we need to get a test." "A what?" "A pregnancy test." So... we drive to the dollar store. Two months ago, I'd said this. We spent 8 bucks on a test from Wal Greens and it was negative. No way were we gonna do it again. We drive to dollar store, buy test.
The old Mexican lady who rung us up smiled and said "Ooh, do you think you are?" I replied, sheepishly, "Yeah.. we do." "Are you excited?" "Yeah, we are."
Of course, Leo looks like he's 20+ and I probably didn't look 15 at the time.
We head home, and shuffle off to bed.
The following morning, I wake up. It's 7.38 a.m. Waaaay earlier than I normally wake up.
I go to the restroom, take the pee stick with me. Pee into the cup, fill the dropper with urine. Drop 2 drops on the test. Finish my business, set pee stick on counter.. Go to brush teeth while I wait. NEVERMIND! I dont have to wait... TWO PINK LINES.
I check the wrapper... One line = Negative.. Two lines = Positive.
Oh god....
I run back to the bedroom and shake Leo awake. It's positive.
"What?!"
He rolls over and goes back to sleep. I do too.
10.30 a.m. he wakes up. "That was just a dream, right?"
"No, honey. It was positive. Do you want to see it?"
I show him the test, and we kind of avoid the subject for a while.
He leaves to go get $20 bucks from his dad. He needed to pick up two digital tests.
He gets home, and throws the package to me.
"Take these."
I go to the bathroom, pee on the stick.
There's that little hourglass.
HURRY UP!!!!
Two minutes later... "Pregnant"
I go back to the room, and hand the stick to Leo. He just stares at it blankly.
An hour later I had to pee again. I figure, why the hell not, and pee on the other stick...
I was gonna watch this one change with Leo, but before I even got back to the room, the little hourglass had disappeared. In it's place stood a very bold "Pregnant"
