What am I thinking? What if I'm pregnant, how will Alex take that? What if he decides its not his...what if he leaves?
Searching a second time, she still couldn't find anything, so she grabbed a pack of condoms, a pregnancy test, and a coke, paid and left. The entire way home her stomach was in knots, worried more over telling him than what was to come. Somehow, in everything that had happened, Serena couldn't feel as stressed about this as she should.
Getting back to the beach house she stepped inside, dropping her stuff at the door and searching him out, finding him on the back porch with the picnic prepared to eat. She bit her cheek, like she always caught Alex doing, wondering how to tell him.
