Chaos beyond the grid

Pregnant

Eleanore put her arm around her friend Kika, while she sat in complete shock at the result of the pregnancy test in her hand. Unsure how long the boys would be gone, and how long they would have privacy in that bathroom, Eleanore wanted to say the right thing to bring comfort to her friend, but at that moment she was at a loss for words.

Kika: how?

Eleanore: um well when a boy and a girl love each other very much...

Eleanore chose the humor approach, and Kika began to laugh.

Kika: oh my gosh, I don't know how this happened, Eleanore... I am so careful.

Eleanore: you are on the pill?

Kika: yes, I take it every day at 07:45, then at 11:00 I take my St John's Wort.

Eleanore froze, she hoped she hadn't heard Kika correctly in that moment, because if she had then Eleanore know exactly how this had happened.

Eleanore: did you say you take St John's Wort? The herbal remedy?

Kika: yes, my manager gave it to me – I wasn't sleeping for ages. Why?

Eleanore: there was a girl in my high school... she got pregnant while on the pill because she took St John's Wort for her anxiety and depression... when she went to the doctor they told her that for some people it interferes with the Pill... making it ineffective.

She watched as her friend closed her eyes and took deep breaths. Eleanore didn't want to worry or upset Kika, but she couldn't help but think she shouldn't be getting any medication or any description from her manager... which she was sure was what Kika was thinking at that moment. in truth, Kika was picturing the different ways she could chop her manager's balls off and feed them back to him in a colorful dish. So far she had come up with 11, but she still had time and an active imagination to come up with more.

Eleanore: ok, so the test says positive – you need to go to a doctor and they can do a scan to make sure the pregnancy is viable.

Kika: what do you mean viable?

Eleanore: well, sometimes, it can be an ectopic pregnancy – where the fetus is growing outside of the uterus, so you need to make sure you and the baby are healthy. Then you can start to figure out everything else.

Kika: ok... yeah.

Eleanore hugged Kika, and tried to reassure her that everything would be ok – they just had to take it one step at a time. She couldn't help but laugh at herself giving that advice when the day before being told by Kika to take Charles's penis one inch at a time had been less than helpful. It was as if Kika could read her mind because she suddenly released from Eleanore's embrace and turned to face her with a very serious expression on her face. She held up her hands together and then began moving them slowly apart.

Kika: tell me when.

Eleanore: when what?

Kika: when it's accurate to his size...

Eleanore: OH MY GOD KIKA!

She shook her head and Kika continued to move her hands apart Eleanore looked at her smugly, at one point Kika's face turned to shock and a moment later Eleanore told her to stop.

Eleanore: stop

Kika: holy hell, how are you walking right now? And where does he hide it?

Charles: where does who hide what?

Eleanore had been laughing so much she hadn't heard the boys coming back, she grabbed the pregnancy test from Kika and put it behind her back.
