Telling Ted/ Self-Para/ Andromeda
Ever since that one night of intense passion, Andy and Ted had been sneaking more time together. From kissing in broom closets to brushing hands in the hallways, the two had been pushing the boundaries of her engagement. Dipping into the flames couldn’t be that dangerous, could it? But it was.
After slipping him a note, Andromeda found herself sitting in an empty classroom waiting. The pregnancy test in her hands, she swung her feet from the desk directly across from the door. When Ted entered the room, he ran over and out his hands on her shoulders. Opening his mouth to speak, Andy covered his mouth with her hand. “Don’t talk,” she enforced. “Just listen before you start to jump ahead with this.” Placing the white stick in his hands, Andy sighed and said, “I’m pregnant. It’s yours.” She had expected him to jump for joy or yell at her or walk away or start rambling on. What she hadn’t expected him to do was pass out on the stone floor.
Rushing over, Andromeda lifted his head into her lap as he woke. “What are you going to do, An?” he questioned rubbing the back of his head. Tears pooled in her eyes as she whispered hopelessly, “I don’t know.”
