I breathed in, I breathed out. I shivered. My eye's fluttered open. I was half asleep, but freezing. Prince's room was full of air-conditioning and he was hogging the blanket. I grabbed it towards me and enveloped myself in the warmth. Now Prince woke up being too cold and started to snatch it away from me.
"Hey! I was using that!" I said sitting up.
"So was I!" He replied, fighting back a smile.
"Well I'm freezing."
"So am I."
"But the coldness woke me up!" I whined.
"It woke me up too!"
"I'M PROBABLY PREGNANT, NOW GIVE ME THE BLANKET!" I yelled. He couldn't not give it to me.
"Fine. Happy now?" He joked, standing up and getting more sheets.
"Mhmm!" I replied joyfully, closing my eyes.
"What. The. Hell." Jaafar's voice asked as he walked into the room. Fear shot through me. Did he hear the pregnant part?
"Oh, um, hi Jaafar." I said.
"What's going on." He replied bluntly staring at Prince, then me, then back at Prince, then finally at me.
"Uh.. nothing!" Prince lied. He sucked at lying.
"Oh cut the crap! I heard everything!" Jaafar said raising his voice.
"How much did you hear?" I asked anxiously, running my fingers through my hair, again.
"Everything. But what really caught my attention was the word 'pregnant'." Jaafar replied. Shit. I closed my eyes and let Prince answer.
"Look, she might be. She might not. We don't know yet." He said.
"How the hell did you get her pregnant for gods sakes! I mean come on, Prince! Everyone thought you were the more responsible and mature one." Jaafar replied. Tear's started streaming out of my eyes. It sounded so much worse when someone said it outloud.
"Look, I- Elle? You ok?" Prince asked quickely realizing my emotions. I nodded my head, but everything just got worse. Prince hugged me, putting my head on his chest. "Jaafar, I know all of that. Just promise not to tell anyone?" He added, carressing my hair.
"Yeah, of course! I won't tell a soul." Jaafar replied.
"Good, now leave. Please." Jaafar left.
"Elle. Please, don't worry about this. Everything will be fine." Prince said to me as I pulled out of his embrace and lied on the bed. I nodded my head. The words soothed me, but didn't convince me. For some reason, something inside me told me that everything was going to end horribly.
Prince fell asleep real quick, but I had trouble. I looked at the time. It was four in the morning. I had the sudden extreme urge to pee, so I creeped out of bed quietly and into the bathroom I went. When I walked out, Prince was already awake. He started to kiss me and tried to unbutton my shirt.
"Whoa. No. What if I'm not pregnant now, and you make me pregnant?!" I asked, laughing and backing away.
"Party pooper." Prince joked.
"Knocker- upper!" I responded.
"Hey, for the record I might not have knocked you up."
"Whatever." I sighed and went back to bed.
"Prince! Elle! I have something that might help you out!" Jaafar whispered rather loudly as he walked into the room.
"Hmm?" Prince replied dreamily, just being woken up.
"What is it?!" I jumped up, being too excited. Jaafar pulled out a small rectangular box and handed it too me. It was an at home pregnancy test.
"How did you get that?!" Prince replied, coming to my side.
"Paris snuck it in when she and Janet went grocery shopping yesterday. Aunt Janet didn't even notice." Jaafar said quickely.
"YOU TOLD PARIS?" I yelled, moving towards Jaafar.
"Sorry! She has to know. But she'll keep it a secret. She swore." Jaafar replied. I nodded my head. Paris can keep a secret forever. She's extremely trust worthy.
"Did ya tell 'em?" Paris asked walking into the room now. Jaafar nodded his head.
"GO PEE!" She replied, gently pushing me into the bathroom. I did my business and waited for a couple of minutes until it was done. The timer beeped, and I rushed over to it.
'Pregnant'. My jaw dropped. I stood there in shock for a couple of seconds.
"Elle?" Prince's worried voice asked from behind the door. I slowly walked out of the bathroom, in tears. This couldn't be happening! It just couldn't! I ran into Prince's arms as he embraced me in a long hug. I just stood there and cried.
"Don't worry, Elle! Everything will be ok." Prince replied stroking my hair. I didn't believe him this time.
"Hey! I was using that!" I said sitting up.
"So was I!" He replied, fighting back a smile.
"Well I'm freezing."
"So am I."
"But the coldness woke me up!" I whined.
"It woke me up too!"
