He let out a breath and nodded. "Ok." Reluctantly, he peeled his arms from around her and took a small step back. "Get some tea...safe tea, I mean, and just...wait for me here. I won't be long."

It was noticeable how much trouble he had moving away from her. Absently, he grabbed a shirt and a pair of shorts that hadn't made it into the laundry basket and pulled them on as he walked to the door.

There was a drug store only a couple of blocks away. Jason didn't remember walking to it, but then he suddenly found himself staring blankly at the boxes of pregnancy tests on the shelf. Why were there options??? It was just...peeing on a stick, right?

The clerk handed him the test in a bag with a sympathetic smile and said, "I totally get it, but you gotta have shoes on next time you come in, ok?"

Jason glanced down at his bare feet and muttered inaudibly, grabbing the bag and hurrying out of the store. He knew he had to have hurried because when he made it up the stairs to their room, he was a bit breathless. "Ok. Um...so it's this..." He pulled the box from the bag with faintly shaking hands and scanned the back of it. "I don't know, you...pee on it and then wait, and a...wait, are they two lines or a plus sign...? Maybe there's instructions in the box...?"
