There's Something In His Smile That Makes Me Feel Alive.

Finn Nelson 1.6

“I think you might be pregnant.”

“I think you might be pregnant.” Chloe follows her friend around theroom, keeping an eye to every gesture Rae does.

“What?” Rae shakes her hands to bothsides, repeatedly. “No, no, no, no. It can’t be.”

“When was the last time you had yourperiod?” Chloe asks, crossing her arms under her chest and sitting in front ofRae, staring at her with the eyebrow raised.

“5 weeks ago, I reckon? I don’t know,Chlo! I’m not as obsessed like my mum to write it down every bloody month.” Shebites her bottom lip in exasperation. “What am I gonna do, now?”

“Did you tell Finn?”

She stares blankly at Chloe. She hasn’tthought about Finn at all.

“Fuck.” She whispers, angry.

“We should get a pregnancy test. We needto be sure that you-…”

“DON’T BLOODY SAY IT!” Rae yells at herbest friend.

“Your name?”

“Rachel. Rachel Earl.”

The doctor nods at her and look for hermedical record. He takes the small folder in his hands and checks every aspectof her profile. Finally, he points at something Rae and Chloe don’t understandwhat it is.

“You’re… pregnant.”

She begins to start breathing deeply.She’s gonna have a panic attack. In front of her gynecologist and her bestfriend. Yes.

“Of four weeks.”

“Impossible.”

“What?” The doctor asks, not reallyunderstand her situation as the papers speak for them.

“I can’t be pregnant. I’m on the pill.”

“Right… Well, sometimes the pill doesn’twork as it’s supposed to be. 90%’s reliable, 10% it’s the catch.” He tries toexplain the process of what the pill’s supposed to do in women body. At thesame time, Rae is hyperventilating. “Did you forget to take it any day of themonth?”

“No! I didn’t. The moment I bought it,the moment started taking it.” Rae tries to auto convince herself, because she’sdefinitely not pregnant. Her period is not coming because of her emotionalstuff. Her problems with hormones and eating disorders. Yes, it must be that.

“When did you start taking the pill?”

“Four weeks ago.”

“Okay.” The doctor writes a few notes inthe corner of her medical history paper and “So, I’m assuming before that, you’vealways used prophylactics.”

“Prophy- what?”

“Condoms.”

“Yeah. Yes. I’ve… Always.”

Then, she remembers.

“Except… Well. There was this time thatwe… My boyfriend and I…” She is starting to move her hands around her,stressing herself. She tries to calm the tension down by moving herself around.“But he didn’t cum inside me. He pulled out on time.”

“You didn’t use prophylactics that time,did you?” He questions.

“No, not really…”

“Listen, Rachel. The withdrawal methoddoesn’t always work. Men, before they release, they spread some precum first,so they…”

“Just give me an abortion pill. I don’twant to know anything about it.”

The doctor tells her the options she hasbefore taking a final decision. Although she has known them since she camethere with Chloe, she answers him that she’s going through the process ofabortion. Now, should she tell Finn or not? That’s the question.
