The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0413
Gently, I knocked on Susie's door. It was already partially opened. When I
knocked, the door pushed farther inward. Susie was resting in bed. Nicholas was
standing beside the bed, speaking with her. I had just watched the doctor leave
before I knocked.
Susie saw me and waved me closer. As I followed her direction, I noticed she
was visibly upset. Her face was red and splotchy. There were tear stains down
her cheeks. She was still crying.
“I'll speak again with the doctor,” Nicholas said, and after a quick concerned
glance at me rushed to chase after the doctor. At that pace, he'd catch her in the
hallway.
With him gone, I took his place at Susie's side. With her crying like she was, it
still felt too far, so I stepped closer until I was leaning on the bed.
“I'll speak with Bridget again,” I said. “I'll absolutely insist that she change our
parts. Susie, I'm so sorry that I didn't fight harder. I never should have made you
go up there.”
Susie shook her head.
When she didn't speak, I continued, “I promise that we'll find a way to protect you
from your stage fright. I'll beg Bridget if I have to. Surely she'll be able to see
reason now.
“Piper...”
“I'm serious, Susie. I'll do whatever it takes -"
“I'm not upset about the play anymore,” Susie said.
I cut off my words. I closed my open mouth. Gave it some thought. Then opened
it again. “Are you okay?"
Oh G od, she wasn't sick or something, was she? She was my oldest friend here,
and one of the dearest. If something happened to her, I didn't know what I would
do. But, surely, she would be okay. The best doctors in the kingdom were here
attending to the royal family.
If Susie needed medical care, she was in the right place.
“Piper,” Susie said. Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. “I'm pregnant.”
I stared at her.

My thoughts fizzled into static white noise.
I had known that Susie and Mark had been intimate, but... pregnant? They
weren't married. They weren't even officially a couple. Susie was here,
supposedly, to be trying to win the heart of one of the princes. I wasn't even sure
she'd ever been alone with Joyce!
Now she was pregnant!
“What did Mark say?” I asked.
More tears spilled down her cheeks, this time with a so b.
Oh, no. That ba st ard. Mark had always seemed like an upstanding guy, but if he
had dared to hurt Susie, I would never forgive him.

Discovering that he didn’t know yet was an absolute relief. I had so few friends, I
couldn't really afford to lose any.
Before I could finish processing any of this, Nicholas returned through the door.
He crossed the room in a few large strides and joined us by standing again at
Susie's side.
“Okay, the doctor will keep this quiet for now, but soon you will have to make a
decision about what to do, Susie,” Nicholas said.
A decision? What an understatement. She'd have to make several life-altering
decisions in very quick succession.
