Olive: I'm done freaking out and I'm sorry I was such a basketcase the past couple of weeks. I promise I'll be back at work tomorrow morning and I'll work doubles every day to make up for all the time you had to cover for me. I'm really, really sorry.

So you're back to yourself?
Does that mean you're

Okay?

Kimberly/Connor

Late, Connor. Like I should've gotten my period last Wednesday and I didn't...and I still haven't.

Kimberly/Connor

[a_hat_trick]

Oh. Oh! But--that's only a week, right? Doesn't that happen sometimes? You can't be

Kimberly/Connor

[onlynewlife]

Yeah, no. Not to me. I'm like fucking clockwork...I haven't been late since I was, like, twelve.

Kimberly/Connor

[a_hat_trick]

Well, fuck. Okay. What next?

Kimberly/Connor

[onlynewlife]

Um, I freak out and we both hope like hell I get it soon? I don't know, I've never had to worry about it. Have you? I don't know what to do; should I go to a doctor and, like, take care of it or what? I don't know, Connor.

First thing's first, calm down. No, I've never dealt with it but hey, we're in this together. Stressing only makes it worse, right? We don't worry about what do do about it unless we know there's an 'it' to worry about. What about one of those tests?

Kimberly/Connor

[onlynewlife]

Calm down, are you kidding me? It's not your uterus in question. It'd be easy as hell for you to walk away right now. I can't just go to the store and get one of those, everyone in small towns talk. Someone else - other than us needs to go. I could ask Olive and swear her to secrecy...

Kimberly/Connor

Yes, Kimberly. Calm down. You've had the shit scared out of you for two weeks straight, do you honestly think that was good for your system?

And so what if they do talk? Is that really something we care about?

Kimberly/Connor

[onlynewlife]

Easier said than done.

Yes, I care. You'll be a hero, I'll be a slut. :(

Kimberly/Connor

Oh for Christ's sake, Kim, this isn't the fifties here and we're not sixteen. No one's going to think you're a slut and I'm sure as hell not going to be someone's hero for getting you knocked up my part in it.

Oh, really? Okay, Connor, then you get fat and you puke for God only knows how long morning sickness lasts and then you can push something the size of a watermelon out of a hole in your body the size of a quarter nine friggen months from now, okay? Don't patronize me Connor, please? Not right now. Believe me, people say those things about girls, I've heard them. ...I've said them. They see a guy who got laid and a girl who was easy.

Kimberly/Connor

I'm not trying to patronize you, I'm scare worried about you. It's not-- I mean, even if it is going to happen, it isn't the end of the world. We can get through it. Can't we? What, do you hate me now?

This is like a really bad after school special... Well, I'm sure as hell not ready for it...are you? This so can't be happening, you've gotta be kidding me...I always used to hear about girls that this happened to and think to myself 'how fucking hard is it to wear protection?' and I had no pity. Karma is a bitch...

Kimberly/Connor

[a_hat_trick]

I don't know. I always thought I could be if I had to be. I thought you were-- We were always so caref Fuck it.

This would not be so bad if we'd been dating more than, I don't know, a month? Give or take a couple of days... (Or weeks, I guess, all things considered) Okay, so...get me a test...? Please?
