Task: Major Turning Point in Pyria's Life.
Pyria was curled up on the overly sterile hospital bed, the news playing on the tv near her bed. She immediately switched when the coverage shifted to her little...Incident at the probending match. Pyria shifted a bit, staring up at the soap opera as she tried to focus on that, rather than on whatever was wrong with her. It had to just be severe food poisoning or something that was making her dehydrated. Or some massive stomach bug. Or something.
The word "pregnant" was not going anywhere near her vocabulary.
Granted, her and Kane didn't usually use protection. It had never really failed them before, but it could have this time around. Pyria cursed herself and him. She glanced up to see a doctor come in, looking slightly pleased.
"Congratulations, Miss Grimm! You're pregnant!"
"I-uh, what?" Her jaw dropped, and she didn't hear the man repeat himself. "You're shitting me."
Her brain was racing all over the place. She made more money than Kane did with her probending job, and with that gone, they'd struggle with money. It wasn't like Pyria had been responsible with their savings at all. And she'd have to take at least a year off from probending to care for the baby. That was a lot of extra income suddenly lost. Kane would have to pick up the slack and Pyria would have to learn how to cook because he'd be way too exhausted after work.
There'd be way too much extra responsibility on both of their shoulders, especially since they were barely 19, and by the time the baby would be born, they'd be almost 20. That was too young for a kid.
Pyria curled up in a ball, "Thanks. Can you go get Kane? Him and I need to have a chat."
