Choices

Elisabeth's hand trembled as she lifted the jar of warm liquid. She wanted to run away and scream that it was all a mistake, but instead she took a deep breath and poured her urine over the plastic pregnancy tester. A few drops spilt on the bathroom tiles. She shivered. It was so unfair. They'd only done it a few times and it hadn't even been that good. Not like it was in books or movies. She looked at her watch and crossed her fingers as her brother rattled the door handle. I'm busy!' she yelled. All right, keep your hair on.' He walked away. Then, the blue lines appeared. Elisabeth stared at the tester and knew that now she had to make a choice.
