The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 26

Sophie’s pov

#two months latert

Mila burst through the bathroom door, her eyes wide as she holds up her index finger in a waiting

gesture.

She hauls in a breath and lets it out through her nose as she looks over at me seated on the toilet seat.

With her hand still on the doorknob, she lifts up the brown paper bag.

“I bought three just in case.” She breathed out and closed the door behind her walked in further.

The closer she got to me, the quicker my heart seemed to pound in my chest. In that brown paper bag

held three pregnancy tests.

My hands trembled as I rose from the seat. “Did Ingrid see you?” I winced. Ingrid had been very

concerned with me lately, especially seeing as I was always so ‘sick’ to go to school.

That was true in a sense but I also wasn’t in the mood for judgemental eyes. Since Aiden’s hearing,

everyone got to know that I cheated on Carson with him, which led to the fight and also led to

Carson’s…..demise.

So no one greeted me with sympathy anymore, no, they greeted me with malice.

Mila nods, wincing. “She saw the bag. Told her I brought you a gift. It is your birthday today after all.”

“And what an enjoyable birthday it has been indeed,” I said sarcastically, feeling pity for myself.

I had been feeling nauseous since morning and I lost count of how many times I actually vomited this

week.

I wasn’t looking forward to my birthday per se but I didn’t plan to actually feel nauseous and sick the

entire day. It didn’t help that I had missed my period. And that’s when the fear kicked in.

Mila handed me the bag and sighed. “That damn woman behind the counter gave me the stink eye.

Can you imagine the nerve of her!?” Mila scoffed and rolled her eyes as she struts over to the

bathroom countertop.

She sits on top of the surface and looks at me in confusion. “How many minutes do we have to wait

again? I can’t remember.” She asked. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I shrugged and removed the boxes out of the brown paper bag. Seeing them in person is one thing, but

touching them and knowing you’re about to use them is another thing entirely.

My fingers tremble as I turn the box to read the instructions.

‘About two minutes?’ I gnawed on my lips as I pulled out the sticks from the boxes. My heart slams in

my chest.

Mila nods and then suggested “Don’t you just want to take a cup and pee in it then dip the sticks in?

Wouldn’t that be easier?”

Right That would be easier. Why hadn’t I thought about that?’ I grumble lowly. Honestly, I hadn’t been

thinking clearly much lately.

It has been two months since the hearing and my heart still feels broken. The pain of being the reason

two boys’ lives were ruined completely took a toll on me I was a miserable person twenty four seven

Mila hops down the countertop and turns around to search through the draw ‘Is there one inside here?”

She rummages through the tiny pill trotules and finds a ornallcup

Well, this one should do ” She murmurs and walks over to me. She places the cup in my awaiting

hands and pries the test from my hands.

“Okay, here you go. She whispered and looked at me, her eyes darting from both of mine. “It will be

okay Soph There’s nothing wrong with just trying to be sure it will be fine

She was the one who suggested that I take a test

I hauled in a breath and let it out through my mouth shakily Okay

I backed away until my legs touched the toilet, lifted the lid, and then pulled my panties down my legs.

Lifting up my dress, I fit myself on the toilet sit and then push the cup between my legs

I looked at Mila panicking when I dont feel my pee going down “Relax Soph. It will be okay No matter

what happens next, it will be okay She reassures with a nod to her head

I try to relax but I just couldnt ‘Can you just turn on the pipe please?” I asked, hoping that hearing the

water pouring into the drain would help my pee finally stop playing peek-a-boo

Mila smiled, nodded, and opened the faucet It takes a good while until I felt my pee entering the cup. I

would have done a happy dance if i wasn’t so worried about the results

When I was done, I gave Mila the cup She cringes ‘Oh, I love you babe, but touching your piss is a no-

no. Despite her words, she grasp the cup and placed it on the surface of the countertop

I rolled my eyes and fixed my clothes and panties back into place I flushed the toilet and closed the lid,

I sat back down on the lid and sighed heavily while shaking my legs nervously

Mila washed her hands under the running pipe while looking at me Aren’t you going to wash your

hands, Soph?”

Oh.

I sheepishly smiled and walked over to the opened pipe. “Are you sure Ingrid isn’t suspicious of what’s

going on?” I asked nervously as washed my hand under the cool running water

“I can’t really know for sure Soph. But whatever happens, she’ll fully support you no matter what and

you know that Mila sighs.

I closed the pipe and gripped the countertop. ‘I turned eighteen today. I’m an adult now They no longer

have to take care of me according to the state.

“You know the Simpsons would never do something like that to you Soph. I can’t believe you’d even

think like that.” Mila scowled.

I looked down at the sink and sighed. “You’re right. I just don’t see this working out if I’m pregnant Mll,

it’s already so difficult to make ends meet.”

“Hey! You don’t know if you’re pregnant yet Soph. How about waiting for the results before bursting

your head about it?” Mila suggested.

i nodded. She was right. I should really stop worrying so quickly especially when I didn’t have the

results yet. I could be worrying over nothing really

But I can’t help but think about how my life would be if I were actually pregnant. How would I be able to

raise a kid on my own? Aiden was not here to help me.

I just couldn’t see this working out.

I had college to think about

What the hell would I do if

The two minutes are up now,” Mila whispered, removing the timer off her phone.

All three tests were beside us, but I had refused to eyen glance at them once. But now that the two

minutes were up, I didn’t want to look at them at all.

“Can you look for me?” I whispered, my voice shaky.

Mila nods and squeezes my hand reassuringly. Of course Soph:

It’s quiet for a few seconds, but even with the lack of noise, I can somehow feel the tension zipping

through the air.

“What do they read Mila?” I asked nervously, my skin coating with a thin layer of sweat until the

material of my dress begins to itch me.

*All three are… She trails off with a nervous shocked edge. Breathing in sharply she whispers lowly.

“You’re pregnant Sophie.

My entire world feels like it’s crashing down around me. I shook my head as tears filled my eyes. She

was wrong. She must be.

I whip my eyes to the three tests I had been avoiding looking at. I can’t seem to breathe properly when

my eyes zeroed in on those two red lines.

Oh no.

I shook my head. “This isn’t possible,” I started in denial.

“I can’t be.” I whimpered praying that this was all just a nightmare and that I just needed to wake up.

“I can’t be pregnant Mila.” I cried, digging my fingers into my hair and gripping the strands tightly.
