Negatively Positive

[She's sobbing in her room. In her bathroom, to be exact, crying and sitting on the toilet, the door wide open. In her hand is a used pregnancy test, and on the floor are 3 more....the ones on the floor have no conclusive results on them, but the one in her hand does

[Teru comes in a few minutes later, and sees her.] ...Angela?

[He runs to her side, taking her hand.] What's wrong? What happened?

[righteous_pen]

Of course not. Why would I hate you?

[always_ashes]

I don't know, I just...I didn't think this could happen, and I was afraid you'd hate me for letting this happen...

[righteous_pen]

It wasn't your fault. I didn't think it could happen either. You were using protection. So was I. Neither one of us could have known...

[always_ashes]

[A nods quietly.]
I'm sorry, I guess I was just afraid you'd be angry...

[righteous_pen]

...I'm not. I promise you I'm not.

[always_ashes]

[She sighs in relief, hearing that.]

Ok...ok, that's...thank you...
We'll think of something...I promise...
[She gives him a weak, tired smile, as if to say it's all going to be all right.]

[righteous_pen]

...yes. We will.

But not now. Don't worry about it now, you - you're tired. Not thinking clearly. You should rest, and - I'll make you some tea. Would that help?

[always_ashes]

Y...yes...I'd like that...thank you...
[A gives Teru another weak smile, before kissing him.]

I love you, so much.

[righteous_pen]

I love you too. [he kisses her back, standing up] I'll be right back.

[he leaves, returning in a few minutes with two cups of tea on a tray.] Here you are.

[always_ashes]

[After Teru leaves, A sighs in relief. He wasn't angry at her, he still loved her, they were going to get through this...She gets up, goes to the bathroom, and splashes some water on her face, returning back to the couch more relaxed than she was when she left.

When Teru returns, A smiles at him.]
Thank you.

[righteous_pen]

[He sits down beside her. He's feeling a little better now as well, the routine of tea-making having calmed him down.]

We'll think of something. I promise.

[always_ashes]

[She nods, taking a cup of tea from Teru, sipping it quietly.]

I know we will...It could be worse, I suppose...
...Thank you. For being here.

[righteous_pen]

I wouldn't leave you to go through this alone. Not when... [he breaks off, gazing into his own tea]

[always_ashes]

[She wraps her free arm around him, moving closer.]

It's ok. It's not your fault...like I said, it could be worse.

[righteous_pen]

[He nods, quietly.] I know.
