A/N: Ok…welcome to "Better Than Before," My Prego-Nat fic. I originally wrote this in September because I was watching Secret Life of the American Teenager and I was like 'huh…what would happen is Nat got pregnant?" And then I threw in a random RENT reference cuz I have an OC from that fandom who would totally bond with Natalie. So….the RENT stuff might take a while to get to cuz I have to set up the basic N2N part of the plot…it's POST-N2N, POST-RENT.

This chapter is an introduction. Mind you, I am TOTALLY rewriting the old story, so this is all new material (sorry that it's so short…)

REVIEW PLEASE! I wanna know if I should continue or not.

Disclaimer: I don't own N2N or RENT…so…yeah…Ok, READ NOW!

Fuck…Natalie thought to herself. No…Fuck!

She looked down at the test strip once again….she was pregnant.

Seventeen and pregnant…only seventeen….

She never felt so disgusted with herself in her life. What would people say?

Look, there's Natalie Goodman, the neighborhood whore. How do you live with that?

What would her parents say?

Look what you've done to yourself, Natalie.

Why'd you do this? Your life is ruined…

But even worse…what would Henry say? Would he stay with her, would he leave? She felt horrible thinking like that. When the whole mess started, this whole relationship thing, he told her that he loved her. He says it every time I see him, she thought. He means it. He has to…If he loved me enough to get me pregnant, he'll love me enough to stay with me….right?

She shook these thoughts from her head. She didn't want to think that it was over…everything…

But she could only think of the guilt.

How did I get here?

A/N: FLASHBACK TIME!!! Read on! Read on! A bit of a smut-ish warning, but it's not really that bad. But the rating will go up.

Oh. AND REVIEW!
