~Nancy POV~
I decide that I cannot wait any longer. I have to know for myself. I rush to buy some pregnancy tests, my mind swirling with a thousand what-ifs. I need to do this now before I faint in class, before someone carries me out like a helpless student.
My hands shake as I hold the tests in my apartment. What if I am really pregnant? What do I do if the results are positive? Could I… could I ever terminate a pregnancy?
The thought makes me recoil. No, I could never do such a thing. This child, even if unexpected, is a part of me.
And what about Will? What if he reacts poorly? What if he takes the baby away, or worse, involves Rita? I cannot allow that. Not now, not ever.
My heart pounds as I clear the items from my bag and hurry to the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.
