Chapter 2 - The lost reactions

Time has seemed to pass by, Lizzy was lost in thoughts on work. Liz realized it had been two months. It was already March and she was sure she had not started. on her way home that day, Liz stopped by the store. Her face was flushed and she was perspiring very little. Liz walked around the store and found the items that she's looking for. Liz then took the pregnancy test to the front and payed. When Liz arrived home, the long drive to the carport. She could see Red was not home. The six feet to the back door,felt like a million.

Lizzy entered the screen porch and then the back door. She walked through the living room past the brick fireplace. There she entered a hall, the first door on the right was dark. This was the guest bathroom, and the next room was their master bedroom. There in the blue and yellow tiles. With the blue and green frogs shower curtain. Liz opened the package, read the instructions. Placing the test on the counter, Liz walked over to the bed. Liz laid down and liked up at the fan,the light from the day was fading fast. The room started to glow, as the hidden stars appeared. Red was obsessed with the stars. When Liz painted the sun rise over a creak in the woods on the wall that was useless. This tied the stars that would appear when it was dark. The bed seemed to hold Liz and her thoughts. What if I am? Liz was scared, what if she was not ready. How can one be ready for the unknown. Looking at the time, Liz realized it was ready. Liz got up and walked into the room, looked down. Blinking several time, it was positive. Liz was pregnant and waves of excitement and worry washed over her.

Liz was snapped out of her thoughts, cause she heard Red. Liz went running to him, and happy hugged him. Stand in the kitchen, "guess what, I am pregnant" Liz announced. Red just looked at her, and said " I know", walking to the door of his man's cave. Liz stood there all her excitement, worries and happiness came crashing down. Thoughts of how could you know, why did you not react? Liz blinked in disbelief and asked how? Red response was cold " I just know, you have not used pads in the last month." However, Red knew and did not seem happy or anything.

Lizzy had to find a doctor and she started with where would she like to have the child. Lizzy knew she was born in the town's first hospital. Furthermore, her mom was born there, she felt it was fitting to do the same. The thought was then who, Liz walked back down the hall. The sand yellow looked almost golden she turned left into a bluish color room. Flick, the lights came on the room now looked purple. Mask that her grandmother and mother bought hung on the walls. The nook that held a light color wooden desk with a blue chair. The desk formed an L. due to the table that fit next to the rest. Lizzy sat down and tapped the gold base. Light lit up a butterfly on a rose. Lizzy reached down and pushed a silver button, vroom, beep, beep went the fans on her computer. The purple glow from the clear case was relaxing. The large screen flickered on and Liz clicked the website. She looked at many doctors and seen one that looked like her mother. Liz wrote down the number and pulled out her blue book. She made the call, as when was waiting, she gathered all the information. Mary said they had an opening the 9th at 3. Lizzy said I will take it. Lizzy sat back and started the game,cause Red asked her to join him. The game was fun but Liz did not understand. Red did everything for her, she just had to play with him and his friend. Shawn was just like Liz and trusted Red. It was late and Liz knew she could sleep in. Liz made plans to tell her boss that she needed off, cause she might be pregnant.

Midnight approached quickly, the witching hour is already upon us. With the phrase Liz logged off and shut down the computer.

That night Liz laid next to Red as he snored, holding her stomach. She was happy, being a mother it was what she wanted. This was after being with Red for the last five years. Liz woke up the next day hungry but nauseous. Red was gone like normal. Liz walked to the room across the hall from theirs. I think we need to clean and get this room ready. The room was full of boxes they had to still go through. The small blue couch and twin bed were there. The white shelves that held star wars and start trek items, belonged to Red. Liz sat down and stated working on cleaning.

The hours passed and with each minute the room looked livable. Lizzy was finished and with this she knew painting would come next. Red came home and was like wow, "you did a lot!" "Let's play some and rest", Liz did not argue.

The next day at work, Liz ran to Mr. Swinford. "Sir, can I leave early, I have a doctor's appointment." Mr. Swinford said," sure let Dylan know." Liz told Dylan and assured him that he would just have to mop her area.

With the day done,Liz headed to the appointment. The navigation took her down roads she did not know. Liz felt like she was lost but then she seen the building. Pulling into the parking lot,the stone brown building attached to other offices. There was her building,she walked through doors. They felt heavy like stone, she pushed and was created with a simple room. Blue chairs in a tan room with two windows. There sat a small blond with a white and blue shirt on, this was Mary. Lizzy checked in and waited. Tick, tick, tick, the sound of the clock on the wall. The large back clock that looked oversized read 3:30. "Lizzy" called a voice from the hall area, where a door opened. Liz grabbed her items and walked to the door. "First door to the left" said this short dark hair woman. "I need you to put your stuff down and step on the scale." Liz did as she was asked and before she knew it they were taking blood pressure. Then Liz had to walk to another room, where she sat on this table. The doctor came in, it was Mrs. Doyle, she said "let's have a look. You think you are pregnant,well you are. Liz looked down and smiled.
