“I think I’m pregnant”

“Excuse me?” I asked. “I said, I missed my period and I... I think I’m pregnant Alex. I think I’m pregnant and I believe you are the father.” I... I didn’t know what to say. I’m... me? I’m gunna be a.... no, I don’t know, I’m not sure if I... I mean what would I do? What the hell, me be a dad at my age?

“You don’t have to say anything, I understand. But... it’s not certain yet.” I snapped back to reality upon hearing those words. “So you’re not sure?” “No,” she shook her head, “I need to take a pregnancy test to be absolutely sure, but for now we don’t know. What I do know is that I missed my period, and that only occurs when I’m... with child.”

“Mine?” She shook her head. “Do you know how many men I sleep with Alex?” “No.” “None, for the last two years I haven’t dated or slept with anyone. Do you know how long I’ve been a principle here? Seven years, and I’ve had my thrills before but never without caution, never without protection. Until today it seems.” She looked down and rubbed her stomach. “You were the last student to have taken me in that manner, and the last male at that in two months.” She exhaled and rested her head on my chest.

“Do you know I’ve been fooling around with the students of my school in those seven years? Discipline is what I told myself it was. It wasn’t taking advantage, it was taking authority. It was punishment not pleasure. Yet here I am now.” She paused, rubbing her head under my neck. I could smell her perfume, the scent seemed sweet like cherry and so strong I could almost taste it. Yet holding her I could feel her body shivering softly, she was scared. “And now karma has come for me. Judgement has arrived and now... now I fear I may be out of a job, of a career, if people were to find out you were the father.” She looked up into my eyes, hers a dark brown and seeking comfort. “I didn’t... **** myself on you... did I?”

Oh man.
