16-year-old Phil Lester stood in his bathroom, on a Saturday morning.
It was early in the morning. Phil had been woken up by morning sickness again. The past couple weeks; he didn't know what was causing his sickness. He had talked to his mom about itand they went straight to the hospital to find out why he was getting sick.
Phil had talked to his doctor and they had finally found out why Phil was getting sick so suddenly. They found out that he was actually pregnant. Phil was absolutely shocked and he had no idea that he could get pregnant. His mom had kept this from him. She never told him that he was a Carrier and that he was able to have children on his own.
Phil would have been more excited about this... about being pregnant and having a child, except the fact that he was sixteen and he knew exactly who the father of this child was. He knew that he was in big trouble now. So much trouble.
~3 months earlier~
"Dan, we had just had sex. I'm tired," Phil moaned as his boyfriend kissed his neck.
Phil spent most of his time at his English teachers house on the weekends. He didn't have any friends besides Mr. Howell. Although Mr. Howell was more than just a teacher. They were in a relationship and had been for the past six months. They had always been close to each other and Phil knew that this was wrong. He shouldn't be doing this with his teacher but he couldn't help that he fell in love with him. He wanted him... and he needed him.
Now here Phil was... sixteen years old and he just had sex with his teacher for the first time and he had mixed feelings about it. He loved Dan but he was just worried about so many things.
"Oh, come on. Just a little more babe?" Dan Howell mumbled, finally pulling away from Phil's neck. He looked down at Phil and he couldn't help but smile.
"Sh-Should we be doing this?" Phil asked as he stared at Dan.
"Baby, we talked about this before. We both know we shouldn't be doing this but we can't help the fact that we fell in love with each other. It's wrong... wrong in so many ways. But, we tried to stop before. That didn't work out very well. Just... relax, okay?" Dan whispered. He sighed and then he slid off of Phil. "You did want that, right?" He asked as he looked over at Phil. "Like... you didn't feel like you were forced?"
"Of course not. It was amazing and I'm honestly really glad that you were my first time. I wouldn't take it back for anything," Phil assured him. He turned and he rested his head on Dan's shirtless chest, closing his eyes afterwards.
Dan smiled and then he gently wrapped his arms around Phil and held onto him. "I know you're worried about what could happen to us. I'm worried too. But, we just gotta enjoy it while we can now. We just can't keep worrying about what could happen. It'll drive us apart," he whispered. He leaned down and pressed a kiss against Phil's forehead.
"I guess you are right. I just... I don't want you to be taken away from me." Phil mumbled.
"No one could ever take me away from you. I won't let that happen," Dan promised. He reached over and he placed a kiss on Phil's lips. "I love you... nothing can change that."
Phil let out a sob as he stared at the pregnancy test that was in his hands.
Phil couldn't believe that he was pregnant. He didn't want to be pregnant. He was so young and he was still in school. How was he supposed to balance his school life and raise a baby at the same time? Phil already had a hard enough time with keeping up with school.
Phil was having a hard time processing the fact that he was pregnant.
It's been two days since he's found out and he still couldn't believe it. He had gone out and gotten a pregnancy test with his mom. Phil should throw it away... but he couldn't.
"Philip?" Phil immediately looked up when he heard his mom calling for him. The door opened and in walked his mom. She looked up and sighed when she saw him, with tears pouring out of his eyes. "Phil, honey... we talked about this." She said as she walked over to him.
"I don't want to be a parent this young, mum," Phil whined.
"You should have thought more when you had sex," His mom warned.
"I wouldn't have done it if I knew I could get pregnant, mum!" Phil yelled.
"Don't talk to me like that," His mom warned. "I only didn't tell you beacuse I thought it would be better. It was hard keeping this from you-" She sighed. Do you know who the father is?"
Phil bit his lip nervously as he looked down at the pregnancy test that he was holding.
"You do know?" His mom asked as she stared at him. "Who is he?"
Phil's eyes went wide with shock and he quickly shook his head. "I-I don't know."
"Philip Michael Lester, you tell me the truth right now!" She warned.
"Mum, I can't tell you!" Phil said quickly. His eyes began to water up.
"Really? You can't tell me the name of this boy who got my son pregnant?" She asked angrily.
"Mum, it's not his fault. We both wanted it," Phil mumbled.
"You sure about that? Now look where you are," She turned around and walked out of the bathroom, slamming the door shut and making Phil jump.
Phil backed up against the bathroom wall and he slowly slid down it, letting tears pour out of his eyes. He had no idea what he was going to do. He didn't know how he was going to tell Dan that he was pregnant with his child. He didn't want Dan to leave him.
Monday came quickly and Phil was nerovus about going to school. He tried to beg his mother to let him stay home but she was basically forcing him to go to school. Phil was worried that people would start to notice that he had been gaining weight. He was three months pregnant now and nearly four months. His bump was definitely coming in. It was very weird for him.
Phil sighed as he walked in English class, which happened to be first period. Phil wanted to skip but he knew that he wouldn't get away with it. He just didn't want to face Dan. The worst part was... Phil was always the first one to class and Dan was always there when he walked in.
Dan was sitting at his desk. He looked up and smiled when he saw Phil walk in. "Good morning."
Phil looked over and took a deep breath. "Morning." He mumbled.
"You alright?" Dan asked as he stood up from his chair.
Phil walked over to him and almost smiled when Dan gave him a kiss. "Just a bit tired."
"Did you stay up all night on that bloody laptop of yours?" Dan asked playfully.
Phil couldn't help but blush. "No, of course not," he said quickly.
Dan chuckled. He looked down at Phil and couldn't help but frown. He noticed that Phil had been gaining weight quickly and that worried him. "Hey, I don't mean to sound rude but... have you been gaining weight?" Dan asked as he looked up at Phil again.
Phil froze and his eyes went wide. "Wh-What?" He asked quietly.
"You just... you look a little bigger the last time I saw you," Dan said.
"I-I haven't noticed," Phil mumbled. He nervously looked down at his stomach.
"Phil, what's really going on?" Dan asked as he crossed his arms against his chest.
There was no way Phil was going to be able to hide this secret from Dan.
"Look, there's something I need to tell you but I can't do it here," Phil said.
Dan looked up as soon as a couple students walked into the classroom. "Good morning ladies."
The girls giggled. "Good morning Mr. Howell." They said as they walked over to their seats.
Phil looked over at them and glared at them. Almost every girl in Phil's class had a crush on Dan and Phil hated it. He hated that he couldn't tell them that Dan was his.
"Um, so... see me after school and we'll talk about that extra credit," Dan said.
Phil blinked a few times as he looked over at Dan. "Wha- okay," he mumbled.
Dan watched carefully as Phil walked to his seat.
"So, what were you and Mr. Howell really talking about?" One of the girls asked when Phil sat down in his seat. She smirked when she saw the look on Phil's face.
Phil sighed with frustration as he looked over at Emma Blackery, who he was kind of friends with but not really. Emma was more of a popular girl and Phil wasn't popular at all. Emma was nice and was never mean to Phil, like most of the kids in this school. Phil was thankful.
"None of your business Emma, alright? Everybody knows I'm not the smartest kid here," Phil said. He shrugged his shoulders. "He's just giving me some extra credit."
"Oh, I'm sure he'll give you a little extra something," Emma whispered, making Phil blush.
Honestly, Phil wasn't surprised that some kids teased him about Dan. Everybody knew they were close. They always hung out outside of school. People knew this. They just didn't know that they were actually in a relationship. Phil wanted it to stay that way.
"Shut up, alright?" Phil warned, throwing a glare at Emma.
Emma laughed. "You know I'm just joking. I'm not mean like the others," she said.
Phil rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever," he mumbled. He sighed and shook his head.
"No but really... is there anything going on between you and Mr. Howell?" Emma asked.
"What makes you say that?" Phil asked, not looking up at her.
"I don't know... you always hang out with him. Isn't it weird? He's your teacher," Emma said.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with being friends with your teacher," Phil said.
"Alright mate, if you say." She said. She went back to talking with the other girls.
Dan couldn't take his eyes off of Phil the whole period. He knew that something was wrong with him and he wanted to know what it was. But Phil made it clear to him that he couldn't say it in front of other students. Dan had a few theories. And one of those theories was Phil was pregnant. Dan had heard of Carriers as he knew someone who was a Carrier; his cousin.
The thought of Phil getting pregnant by another boy broke Dan's heart and made him angry.
"Tell me what the fuck is going on with you," Dan snapped as soon as Phil walked into the classroom. The school day ended and Dan wasn't letting Phil leave until he got answers.
Phil turned after he had shut the door and looked at Dan with wide eyes. "W-What?"
"Don't don't do that Phil. Tell me the truth! Why have you been gaining weight?" Dan asked.
"Dan, please! This isn't easy for me," Phil whispered as his eyes began to water up.
"Did you cheat on me?" Dan asked out of nowhere.
Phil immediately looked up at him, eyes filled with shock. "Excuse me?" He asked.
"Did you cheat on me?" Dan asked, crossing his arms against his chest.
"N-No. Are you kidding me? Who would I cheat on you with?" Phil asked.
"You're pregnant arent't you?" Dan asked as he stood up from the chair.
"How did you know that?" Phil asked quietly.
"I put the pieces together. I had a cousin who was a Carrier and he started gaining weight just like you did and then he told us that he was pregnant. So, who's the father?" Dan asked.
"Are you being serious, Dan?" Phil asked as he looked up at him.
"It's Mr. Howell. We're still in school," Dan hissed.
"It's yours," Phil whispered as he looked down at his hands, letting a few tears fall out of his eyes. He didn't want to cry in front of Dan, but he couldn't help it.
"Say that again?" Dan asked, blinking a few times.
"Please." Phil begged. He walked over to one of the desks and sat down.
"No really, I didn't hear you..." Dan said as he walked over to him.
"It's yours," Phil said as he looked up at Dan. "I'm p-pregnant with y-your child."
Dan stared at him with shock, his eyes going wide.
"I-I would n-never cheat on you Dan," Phil said, more tears pouring out of his eyes.
"O-Oh my God," Dan whispered. He felt terrible. Here he was... accusing Phil of cheating on him when he hadn't. It was his. The baby was his and he couldn't be happier about it. "Phil, come here..." Dan pulled Phil and pulled him into a hug. "I'm so fucking sorry!"
Phil let out a sob has he hid his face in Dan's chest.
They hugged for what felt like forever. Phil cried while Dan held onto him.
Dan finally pulled away from the hug and looked at Phil in the eye, wiping away his tears. "I can't believe this... we're going to be parents?" He whispered.
"What?" Phil asked as he looked up at Dan. "Y-You want the baby?"
Dan rolled his eyes. "Of course I want the baby!" He exclaimed.
"I-I thought you would l-leave me," Phil sobbed.
"Never in a million years would I leave you Phil. God, I've always wanted to be a dad," Dan said with a smile. He sat down on the desk where Phil had been sitting at. Dan bit his lip nervously as he looked over at Phil. "Let me see." He said, nodding towards Phil's stomach.
Phil immediately did as he was told and pulled his shirt up, revealing the bump that was barely there but you could tell it was coming if you looked close enough.
Dan gently pulled Phil closer to him. "This is... incredible," he whispered. He reached over and placed his hand on Phil's stomach, making Phil giggle slightly. Dan looked up at Phil and chuckled. "Oops, sorry love. I forgot you were ticklish." He said.
Phil put his shirt back down. "What are we going to do Da- I mean... Mr. Howell," Phil said.
"We'll figure something out. We always do, right?" Dan asked.
Phil smiled and nodded. "I love you." He whispered.
Dan wrapped his arms around Phil and pulled him into a hug. "I love you too."
Phil immediatlely pulled away from the hug when there was a knock on the door. He watched as Dan walked over to the door and opened it, revealing the principal.
"Hello Mr. Brown. How may I help you?" Dan asked, letting him in.
"Nothing at all. I was just walking around, making sure students get home," Mr. Brown said. He looked over at Phil and raised his eyebrows when he saw him.
"Uh. I-I was just getting some extra credit from Mr. Howell," Phil said nervously.
"He's falling behind in class so I'm just helping him," Dan said.
"Very well then. Have a good day Mr. Lester and Mr. Howell," Mr. Brown said before he walked out of the classroom without saying another word.
"That was odd." Phil said as he looked up at Dan.
"Well, that's one way to put it," Dan said. He laughed and wrapped his arms around Phil, pulling him into a hug. "I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating."
"I don't care. J-Just don't ever leave me, okay? Promise me," Phil whispered.
"I promise."
