The Testing Test

She walked to the clinic
Her legs trembling
Her heart pounding
She had no choice but to agree with him
Its a decision my made together to do this

He was quite 
yet a lot of noise was in his head
pictures of how many times he had done it
were playing in his mind in HD print
He remembered all the kisses
All the different romances
with different lovers
And felt like running away
From this sweet sixteen

They had no choice
he had promised her many times
never to 'release' into her
this time it had happened 
Two weeks back
At the Casino
where she smoked her first cigarette
as he enjoyed the pipe

She was scared that her dad would kill her
He was afraid his faithful wife would find out
They were afraid of the disease 
They walked together but like strangers 
She remembered the first kiss
with him and felt strong
He looked at her sweet eyes
and courage flowed in his veins
like the Nile into dry Egypt 

This was only temporary 
as they reached the clinic
and met the physician 
who looked at them and asked the man
Is she your daughter?
He didn't say anything
She looked down shying away
The doctor got all answers

As he stated the test
She prayed: Dear Lord if you get me out of this 
It wont do it again
He prayed: Dear Lord if you only pardon me here
It will never ever happen AGAIN
A prayer God had answered 
More than seven times
On different teenagers 

She wished If all comes to the worst
at least she walks HIV positive without the pregnancy 
He wished at least they find her pregnant than HIV positive
The doctor did well what he was being paid for
As he tested the blood did the urine pregnancy testing
Then came with the results 

The way he stood before them it was hard
To predict the result
The man's heart beat faster
The girl breathed harder
The doctor stammered something
None of them heard it
The doctor decided to do the right thing
Give them counsel before the results
They sat like the saint peter's monk and nun
As the man he held paper that had the fate of there future
Spoke for one full hour 
They all promised to take the right path

Then he gave them the results
ALL Negative
That night they chose to celebrate
The results together
And 
They
Did 
IT 
AGAIN
