Completion: Complete
Mona was pregnant.
Three more positive take-home tests and a trip to the clinic to confirm had removed any doubts in her mind. She was fucking pregnant, and she didn’t know what the hell to do about it. She couldn’t imagine she’d be any better at being a mom a second time around; she was having a hard enough time keeping her life together as it was being responsible only for herself. The easiest thing to do would be to get it taken care of before anyone found out and just pretend that it had never happened.
It felt wrong, though, to think about just getting an abortion. She was trying so hard to do things right in her life lately, and she didn’t know if being with Sky was right or wrong, but she knew there were worse things she could be doing. She knew that she needed to talk to him about this, to give him a choice. More than that, she wanted him to make the decision even though she was terrified that telling him would destroy whatever this thing was that they had.
Mona didn’t call ahead -she didn’t know what the fuck she would say if she had- but it was late when she got off work, so she was hoping that he would be home. She saw his bike when she pulled into the parking lot, but she wasn’t sure if she was relieved or not that he was apparently home. She still wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do, if she should risk losing the one thing in her life that truly calmed and relaxed her and made dealing with everything else bearable.
Her hand was shaking when it lifted to knock on his door, and when she lowered it, she wrapped her arms around herself and waited.
