Chapter 69: Baby, it's cold outside.

"What are you doing?" I frown at Ivory as she grabs me, pulling me into the bathroom before shutting the door. Her eyes are wide with panic and covered in a glossy sheen.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask concerned, my heart thumping wildly in my chest. She looks so shaken up, tears brimming her eyes.

"Ivory?" I ask again, sitting her down on the ledge of the bath. She inhales deeply before finally letting out a loud sob, her body shaking as she does so.

"I think. . . I think I'm pregnant!" she chokes out looking me in the eyes. Her eyes are red raw and she looks so vulnerable, like a little child. I feel my stomach drop and tighten in several knots as I take in the information. My eyebrows scrunch together in confusion —

"Why do you think that?" I ask, kneeling down between her legs to look up at her. She's sobbing, hiding behind her hair. I squeeze her knee gently to re-assure her but on the inside, I'm panicking as much as her.
