At the doctor's office
"I'm afraid I have to confirm the test you did earlier today: you're pregnant Iris," the doctor says.
"I didn't doubt about that. What I want to know, is how far I am? How many weeks? Because I don't remember if I also skipped the period before," I say nervous.
"Is it important for you to know?"
"Yes. If I'm at 3 weeks, it's from my boyfriend. But if I'm at 7 weeks, it's from my ex-boyfriend!"
"Oh, I see. I'm really sorry, I can't tell you how far you are. From 3 months on we can see on the ultrasound how far you are, but not now yet."
"Are you serious? Than how can you always calculate the day of birth?" I call out.
"We can do that when you're further than 3 months. Or when you know when you had your last period."
"So� I have to wait for 5 weeks?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so. Only than we can say if you're at 3 months, so than you know who the baby's from," she nods.
F*ck! I expected the doctor to know how far I am!
"I'm sorry I can't help you now. But if you need any other help, you can always come back here!" she says concerned.
"Thanks. Bye."
"Bye."
I go home to arrange a lot of things. After that I call Tia again. I ask her to make the guys come to her house this evening, than I'll meet them there.
Friday evening
I ring Tia's doorbell. She almost immediately opens the door. She gives me a big hug.
"Are you okay?" she says worried.
"As good as I can be at the moment. Where are the guys?" I sigh.
"In the living room."
"Let's go to the kitchen than," I say. In the kitchen I tell her all I did this afternoon.
"I think that's the best solution for you right now," she nods and gives me another hug.
"Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I'm gonna tell Lee and Dunk now, I'll tell the others after that," I smile weakly.
"I'll tell them you're here," she smiles back.
"Hey honey," Lee calls out hyper and gives me a wild kiss. "Why did you sneak off to the kitchen with Tia first?" he says and takes my hands.
"Hi Iris," Dunk smiles, I give him a kiss on his cheek. I look at Dunk and Lee,
I have to tell them! I feel so weird inside�
"What's wrong?"
"Is something wrong?" Lee and Dunk ask at the same time.
"Sit down," I nod. Lee lets go off my hands and they sit down opposite me.
"I'm pregnant."
The color drains out of their faces.
"How�" Dunk stutters.
"How long? I don't know. I don't know if it's from you� or from you," I look at Dunk and than at Lee.
"It doesn't matter who it's from, we'll both always be here for you!" Dunk smiles sweetly.
"Ye-yes of course," Lee stutters. I start crying. Dunk strokes my cheek and gives me a kiss on my forehead.
"I'm gonna have a baby!" I smile through my tears.
"Yes, you're gonna have a baby," Dunk smiles happily. I start crying again. Lee reaches out his hands at me and gives me a hug.
"It's wonderful," he says with a hoarse voice. "You're gonna have your own little child."
I hear Dunk leaving the room. Lee wipes my tears away.
"I have to wait 5 weeks until I know if it's your baby. But I really don't know what to do if it's Dunk's baby."
"It doesn't matter to me. I'm really happy, and I'll always be here for you," Lee smiles.
"But it matters to me. My head's a mess. I have to get away from everything, to think, to make a decision."
"Get away?" the smile fades from Lee's face.
"Yes. I can't stay with you, can't stay home with my mates, can't stay with my parents. I have to go away for a while to sort things out," I nod.
"To where?"
"I'm going to Cat and Hez, my Irish friends."
"For how long?"
"I don't know. Maybe until I know who the baby's from, maybe longer," I shrug.
"Are you leaving me?" he asks scared.
"I'm not breaking up with you. I just� I don't know," I sigh.
"When will you leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Will you call?"
"Yes, I will call you whenever I wanna talk to you. And you can call me anytime," I smile weakly.
"But I can't visit you?"
"No. I need time alone to think."
"Okay. But I want you to know, that no matter who the baby's from, I wanna have it with you. I love you," he says grabbing my hands.
"I love you too. But I don't know if I can have the baby with you if it's Dunk's baby. The only thing that I know for sure, is that I'm keeping the baby. Because I know that the baby's from the one that I truly loved at that moment."
"That's beautiful," he whispers with tears in his eyes and give s me a hug. He gives me a kiss on my cheek, I kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back tenderly.
"I wanna talk to Dunk too," I softly say.
"I'll ask him to come here," Lee nods.
He gives me another gentle kiss and leaves the kitchen.
"You wanted to talk to me?" Dunk says.
I nod. "I'm going away for a while. I just told Lee. I'm not breaking up with him, but I'm going to my friends in Ireland for a couple of weeks. In 5 weeks I'll know who the baby's from. I need to think. I� I don't know what to do if the baby's yours. My head's a mess, so I have to get away from everybody here and at home."
"I understand."
"So I wanna ask you to take care of Lee. I know it's really hard for him. We were doing great�" my voice fades away.
"Of course, I'll be there for him. And I'll be there for you too whenever you need me. You're making the right decision, you have to take care of yourself firstly," he nods and gives me a big hug.
"Thanx. I told Lee I'll call him, and that he can call me anytime. The same goes to you."
"Okay, that's good," he whispers in my hair.
"I'm really happy for you," he says looking into my eyes.
I smile: "I'm starting to feel happy myself too!"
We go to the others, and I tell Sy and Ant the news. They're really happy for me, and they understand that I'm going away for a while. That evening I go home with Lee, to spend the last night in his arms�
