Part 24
Laying in Pauls arms, skin against skin, the sweat created by our actions forming a glue between us left me feeling content and i was sure my sleep would be pieceful. But sadly again i thought wrong.
My sleep was haunted by dreams of my father walking in and finding us together. Sending me away to some convent isolated in the Alaskin settlement. I dreamt of being locked in a small room, as i was a shame to the convent, my belly growing from the child that was forming within me. I woke with a start when i heard Paul calling my name.
"Chris, your crying?"
I hugged Paul and he did nothing but put his arms around me and kiss my hair. I looked at the time and noticed it was 2:00am. I told Paul i had to go and that id see him in the morning. I put my clothes back on and snuck home, climbed through my window and hopped into bed. The perfect crime. My dreams continued to be disturbing right through to the morning. I woke with my father knocking on my door then barging in.
"Chris!!!!! oh... i .... thought.... that you wouldnt be here..."
"Dad?" i said rubbing my eyes.
"Hi honey... have a good sleep"
"It was ok"
He smiled and left my room. I got out of bed, showered, had breakfast and made my way over to Paul's house. He kissed me as we met and walked hand in hand to the coffee shop.
We spent every day together, as it was the holidays. Though about 4 weeks onwards i couldnt get out of bed. I felt so sick. My mother brought me in a bucket so i didnt have to get up and run to the bathroom every time i had to throw up. Paul came around to see how i was. He lay on my bed with me and we watched tv together and he comforted me after i threw up. He did this for 2 days before he, and my mother suggested i go to the Doctor.
I made the appointment and Paul drove me to the center. Mum and Dad let him, as they had accepted the fact that he was my boyfriend.
We waited in the sitting room and moved into the doctors office when my name was called.
"So Chris, whats the problem"
"Well I..." i glanced at Paul and he nodded, encouraging me to continue"
"Ive been throwing up for the past few days and feeling really off"
He looked at Paul and back to me and nodded.
"uh huh.... i see.... and how is your period cycle"
"Im unregular."
"uh huh....... And have you had unprotected sex recently"
I held my breath and looked at Paul...
"ahhh.."
