She was a small town girl, grew up right in the heart of Greenville Tennessee. She always wanted to do big things like leave her small town and live a life of happiness but she never got around to it. It was one thing after another that kept her there just a little bit longer. She was currently working as a waitress at a small pie shop just outside of her home town, Joe’s Pie Diner, doing what she loved. Making pies. Of every sort too. It was something she had a passion for and a skill she learned from her Mama.

She smoothed out the wrinkles of her work uniform and took a deep breath. She always hated the powder blue ensemble that made her insecure about herself. She put the pie she had just freshly whipped up in the hot oven and began mixing the ingridients for the next. It was a rather calm day at work and she enjoyed every second she stirred the rich chocolate in the plastic bowl for the next order of pies the customers so eagerly enjoyed. She was good at what she did, making pies. She dreamed of one day leaving Joe’s Pie Shop and venturing out to start one her own. As she so joyfully mixed the batter of chocolate, Kyla and Carmen pulled her out of her trance.

"Ashley, You’ve held it off for long enough honey." They both said in unison and Ashley gave then a frown.

"What?" she asked as if she didn’t know what they were talking about.

"Oh you know what." they said and the two of the hurriedly grabbed Ashley, each holding on to one of her arms and dragged her out of Joe’s kitchen and into the employees bathroom. Carmen handed Ashley the pregnancy test box and Ashley winced. She took it from her hands and went into the stall. Minutes later she came out and they all anticipated the results. Ashley took a seat on one of the benches in the corner of the bathroom and held the stick up to the light. She shook it once and glanced at it again.

"Negative, negative, pretty please be negative." Kyla and Carmen chanted this in the background of Ashley’s nevous waiting and Ashley too prayed to god it was negative. Kyla started pacing and Carmen started to get antsy.
