âI do not want to know,â I said adamantly to Natasha.
âHoney youâve waited too long to say that. Just do it, dammit!â Natasha yelled, pushing me into the ladiesâ bathroom as if I were a ragdoll. I mean, if I was pregnant, which I definitely am not, she should not be pushing me around! As Iâm pushed into the bathroom wall, Wanda hands me the pregnancy test box, but I refuse to take it.Â
âGirls enough!â I shout, panicked I squat down on the ground clutching my legs into myself.Â
Natasha is suddenly next to me. âHoney, itâs better to know than not. You can figure out what to do once you know,â she says way more calm then I could ever be if the roles were reversed. Looking at Wanda, Nat turns back to me, âwe will be right here if you need us. Itâs just a simple yes or no,âÂ
âFine!â I jump up for my upright fetal position, yeh I know ironic, and I head into the bathroom stall.Â
âItâs just a stick, maybe a line,â Wanda says in her smooth calm-inducing voice.
âJust one hopefully,â I grumble.
After a couple of minutes, I come out of the stall and basically throw the stick at Natasha. âHey! Watch where you throw the stick covered in your piss!â I ignore her and sigh.
âHow did I ever get myself in this mess!â I yell up to the heavens.
âWhat happened?â asked Wanda.
 âJust a drunk night and the fucking red dress!â
Wanda let out an immense gasp sacring Natasha and me. â Oh! But I love that red dress. I love the way it sparkles and it kinda looks like Dorothy Hamillâs ice skatinâ outfit,â
âDawn,â Natasha and I both groan.Â
âOh, sorry,â she hushed, but then her eyes got big again. âMaybe heâs broken!â she exclaimed. We looked at her with befuddlement as she quickly continued talking. âMaybe his boys donât swim, you know, miraculously,â she declared, trying to sound convincing.Â
âYeah itâs a miracle,â Natasha replied sarcastically. Throwing her hands up in the air she continued, âTo get away with unprotected fucking, lucky you,â
As Nat spoke I started to zone out. Iâm not pregnant. Iâm not pregnant. Iâm not pregnant. I keep chanting that mantra in my head because I canât be pregnant, I canât. But what if I am? And with that, thatâs where I spiral again.
âHow can one night ruin my whole life,â I start to sob, Wanda wraps her arms around me as Nat takes my hands as she says, â you canât go there yet, we donât know what the test says,â
âBut Iâm already PANICKED!âÂ
âCalm down, goddammit!â Nat screamed shaking me. Then I hear Wandaâs calm voice.
âMaybe itâll all be fine, itâll just be one line,â
After everyone took a few deep breaths Wanda spoke up. âWait I thought you didnât sleep with your husband anymore,â
âWell I donât but he got me drunk on some wine coolers and I do stupid things when Iâm drunk,â I explain wringing my hand nervously while I fidget.Â
âWhat like sleep with your husband,â Nat said.
âThis will all be alrightâ
âIt was only one nightâ
âSomeone send me a signâ
âThat means the test is ready, this is it,â
I slowly pick up the stick, and as I take a deep breath I look.
