Welcome to Gaia! ::

A few weeks or so before Christmas, Raven is quite worried. She's not really sure who to talk to about it, because Corri is away that weekend. She drops by the house though, to talk to Billy. After a while of making small talk and exchanging info, she comes right out with it. "I think I'm pregnant." she admits.

Billy looks at her incredulously. "Bullshit." he says.

"No, really." she replies, breaking down into tears. "I haven't had my period in three months, that's not normal." she admits, falling into his arms.

"Have you gotten tested?" he asks, rubbing her back.

She shakes her head, "not yet..."

"Have you told Cor?"

She shakes her head again. "I haven't told anyone but you." she admits.

"You have to tell him." he says.

She nods, "Tomorrow, when he gets back."

He holds her close, comforting her. "It'll be okay ,luv." he says gently, holding her tight.


The next day, She calls Corri when he gets home. "I need to talk to you." she says. "It's important."

SHe nods, but realizes that he can't see her. "Yea.. that would be good." she replies.

Raven's in her room, pretending to read. She can't actually read though, because she's too jittery. she 's wearing her pj's and her hair is pulled back messily. She smiles at him weakly and puts her book down. "Hey..."

She nods. "I'm ok... well. sort of." she says, "It's kind of complicated..."

Raven has no idea how to explain any of this. She really doesn't. "Well, you know I'm on birth control but other than that... we haven't really been all that safe.." she starts. "I mean, we don't use anything but the pill, well..." she stops, gathering her thoughts.

She nods, tears coming to her eyes again. "I mean, I haven't gotten tested or anything, but I missed two periods." she says quietly. "And sometimes i skip one, so the first time wasn't a big deal but... it's been two weeks since I was supposed to have my last one..."

She cuddles against him, nodding again. "Will you come with me?"
