Teaching My Bookworm Stepsister

Kapri's P.O.V.

"Okay, so I got a few different ones. Do you feel like you have to pee really badly?" Megan asked the moment we got into the coffee shop. "O-okay." I said.

Just like that, my mood is back down. Maybe I should have just told Maverick the truth and let him do this with me. I still can't believe that he let me come here without him.

The four of us rushed to the bathroom. Megan brought me a cup to pee in. She handed me the tests that I'm supposed to pee on as well. Megan bought six different kinds of tests.

After I took all of them, I set them on the counter. Brooke locked the door, and Molly set a timer. I slumped down to the floor as I waited for the five minutes to be up. "This is awful." I mumbled as I pulled my knees to my chest.

Megan sat on the floor next to me. I leaned my head on her shoulder as more tears filled my eyes.

"What am I going to do if..?" I trailed off.

I can't even say it.

Molly sat on the floor in front of me. She grabbed my hands in hers, and squeezed them gently.

"You can do whatever you want to. This is all in your hands. We will support you no matter what you choose. You have options, Kapri." She said gently. "W-what about Maverick?" I asked.

"I somehow have a feeling that Maverick will say the same thing," Molly said.

Brooke scoffed.

"That lunatic will probably jump for joy at the news of knocking you up." She said.

Megan laughed.

"That's true. It would be more validation for him that you wouldn't leave him. He baby trapped you." She teased.

I laughed with them.

"Maverick really is insane over you, Kap." Brooke said. "This might not be good timing, but.. if you're worried that Maverick will hate you or something.. Don't be."

I lifted my head from Megan's shoulder, and blew my nose into some tissue that Molly handed me.

"Can you guys even imagine Maverick becoming a father?" I asked with a laugh. "He's hardly dad material."

"He'll learn," Molly said. "If this is what you both want."

"This is still really scary," I admitted.

"Well, let's just wait to see what the tests say, and go from there." Molly said.

I nodded. She's right. I don't even know for sure if I am. I'm probably not anyway. I probably just skipped a period or two due to all of this stress. My life has been extremely stressful lately. That's all this is. I need to calm down. The timer on Molly's phone went off. She turned it off, and looked at me. We all stood up, and I looked at myself in the mirror.

This is it. The moment of truth. I looked down at the tests on the counter. My eyes widened.

Positive. Every. Single. One. Is. Positive.

I put my hand over my mouth as a sob escaped me. I looked up at my friends with wide scared eyes. This can't be true.

"Kap.. it's going to be okay." Molly said gently.

"Okay? Okay!" I echoed. "I-I-I'm pregnant! With a baby! I-I.. How am I supposed to go to Harvard now? Is Maverick really going to be happy about this?"

Then I gasped loudly.

"Oh my god.. I have to tell my mom! I've been putting off telling her about my relationship with Maverick, and now.. Now I have to tell her that I'm pregnant! Oh my god... I think I'm going to pass out." I rambled. My breathing started to come out faster and harsher.

"Whoa, you gotta calm down babe." Megan said to me.

"I-I can't." I said.

Oh my god.. I'm hyperventalating..

"I'm calling Maverick to come get you." Brooke said. ""No!" I shouted.

Brooke looked at me with her phone in her hand.

"Then calm down." She said.

I nodded, and tried to take a few deep breaths. After a few minutes, my breathing returned to normal. Even my tears stopped.

"Do you want me to call him now Kap?" Brooke asked.

I shook my head.

"I.. just need some time. He'll be here soon probably," I said.

"Okay, then do you want to hang out? Have some... tea?" Megan asked.

"I'll get you a hot tea with lots of honey, and some sweets," Molly said.

Molly rushed out of the bathroom. I looked down at my belly, and placed my hand over it. I have a baby in there.. Maverick's baby..

If someone would have told me last year, that a year later I'd be carrying Maverick's child, that I'd be deeply in love with him like this.. I would have laughed in their face. Things have changed so much,

But I do love Maverick. With all of my heart. After everything... I knew that I wanted to be with him for as long as I could. Hopefully, forever.

With Maverick's help, can I still go to Harvard? It'll be difficult to raise a baby while we're in college.. But we can do it together. I know we can.

Besides, I don't really like the idea of aborting it. I'm totally pro-choice, but I'm not sure I could go through with that. Adoption is an option, but.. You hear so many horror stories about children who grow up like that. I don't think I could carry this baby for nine months, and give it up anyway. Plus, Mom did it. She might not have been in college. Actually, her situation was much worse. She still did it. Mom said that having me was the highlight of her life.

Will I feel that way too? Will Maverick?

"Come on. Let's go relax for a bit." Megan said.

The three of us walked out, and found a table to sit at. A short while later, Molly set down a tea and a piece of cake down in front of me. Just looking at it makes me feel nauseous.

"I'd rather have popcorn," I mumbled.

Then I paused.

So, that's why I've been craving popcorn so much. That's also probably why I've been so horny. Not to mention those mind-blowing o*****s that I seem to get regularly.

Well, Maverick is really good in bed anyway. He knows my body so well. Every sensitive spot, every area that drives me wild.

Ugh, I miss him.

Maybe I should fu.ck him first, and then tell him. That could be a better way to break the news. While we're both satisfied and relaxed.

Yeah, that sounds good.

"So, do you want to talk about it at all?" Molly asked me.

I thought about it for a moment.

"Well.. I think I want to keep it." I said. "W-what do you guys think?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter what we think," Molly replied.

"I just want to know your opinions," I said.

"Well, I think it's very cute you're going to keep it. A little you and Maverick is going to be so cute!" Megan said happily.

I beamed at her.

"I think that it's going to be hard, but you better not quit school. The two of you can work something out. Plus, there is a big possibility that Megan and I will be closer to you guys than you think. We could totally help out." Brooke said. "Wait, really?" I asked.

Brooke shrugged.

"She's just waiting for her acceptance letter. I got into a good school about an hour from Harvard. Brooke wants to follow me because we're in love, and she doesn't want to be like Maverick." Megan said casually. Brooke rolled her eyes.

""Awhh, that's adorable." I said.

"If I even get in," Brooke mumbled.

"You'll get in babe." Megan told her.

"Well, I, for one, am not too thrilled about this." Molly chimed in. "You're only 18. This is going to be so hard.."

"I know, but.. what am I supposed to do? I don't.. want to give the baby up." I said.

"I know.. and I don't want that either.. I'm just.. worried about you." Molly replied.

I placed my hand on hers.

"I know you are. Thank you," I said.

"So," Molly said. "You're really going to keep it. Are you going to tell Maverick tonight?" She asked.

I snorted.

"I could never keep a secret like this from Maverick. He'd see right through me." I told her.

"Come to think of it," Brooke said thoughtfully. "I'm surprised that he didn't see through this bullsh.it."

"Ya know.." I said. "Now that I think about it. I am too."

"Maybe he had something to do," Megan suggested.

"Yeah.. I bet he did. Another thing to hide from me," I said, rolling my eyes.

"When he gets here maybe you should throw a fit. Refuse to come out until he tells you what's going on." Brooke suggested.

I gave her an incredulous look.

"What?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"You sound like Megan." I said, amused.

Megan snorted.

"Okay, I have to pee. Then I'm going to call Maverick, and tell him to pick me up. I can't deal with this anxiety anymore," I said.

I walked to the bathroom, and did my business. When I was done, I leaned against the wall, and pulled out my phone. I chewed on my bottom lip as I stared at mine and Maverick's messages.

Just when I was about to press the call button, someone cleared their throat in front of me. I looked up to see the same girl I had last time I was here. My sister.

My eyes went wide as I stared at her.

"Hey, uhm, do you think we could go out back, and talk for a bit?" She asked.

"Uh, well, maybe if my friends could com-"

She grabbed my wrist suddenly, making me drop my phone. Then she started to pull me towards the door.

"W-wait." I said.

"No, please. I need to talk to you. Alone. Right now." She rushed out as she pulled me to the back door.

"Hey, stop pulling on me, okay? I'll talk to you." I said.

She still wouldn't let me go. My sister burst through the back door that led to an ally. There was a car sitting there with the back door open. My sister finally let go of my hand, but I stared at the car confused. Why is this car just sitting here with the back doo-

Before I could finish my thought, someone pushed me into the car. I tried to scream, but a hand clamped over my mouth. My face was shoved into the seat, and before I knew what was happening.. We were driving away.
