Ema swore under her breath at the stick.

Positive.

"Fuck..." She whispered again. "Curse my luck! It was a one time thing!"

Ema had been feeling nauseous a lot since it happened, she took a couple days off work from all the throwing up, she thought there may have been something wrong with her. Then came the cravings. She wasn't expecting to actually be pregnant, she just took the test in a way to ease her mind, but instead it panicked her even more.

She even took another test just to make sure she wasn't imagining things. Both came out as positive.

She began to contemplate how she was going to tell Klavier that she was pregnant. With his baby.

First she wanted to tell Lana, she thought she might have some advice.

Ema invited her older sister out for lunch, she sat there, nervously chewing on her bottom lip and fiddling with the sleeve of her lab coat.

"So, Ema, what did you need to tell me?" Lana asked as she sipped at her coffee.

"You have to promise not to freak out, okay?"

"You're scaring me, just tell me what it is."

"...I'm pregnant."

Lana blinked a few times in disbelief, slowly taking in what she had just been told. She tried her best to be collected about it and asked questions in a calm voice, as calm as she could.

"Pregnant... okay, who's is it?"

"Okay, again, I'm gonna ask you not to freak out. It's Gavin's."

"Gavin? Which one?" Lana smirked.

Ema shot her a glare. "I'm not really in the mood for jokes right now!"

"Alright, alright, lighten up."

"Lighten up?! Lana, I don't think you quite understand. I'm going to be a mother. I am having a baby. There is a baby growing inside of me. My boss is the baby daddy. A one time thing turned into a life time thing. I have no idea what I'm doing or how to tell him. I am freaking out, Lana."

"Yeah I get it. But listen, you're going to have to calm down, just take a deep breath."

Ema obliged and took a few deep breaths.

"But wait, I thought you hated him."

"Well, 'hate' is a strong word."

"So do you love him then?" She lightly nudged her younger sister's arm.

"I didn't say that either! And how old are you?" She folded her arms over her chest and slumped down in her seat. "What do I do?"

"Well you know you have to tell him right?"

"Obviously! But how? What if he starts avoiding me?"

"Well, tell him you're pregnant with his kid, then tell him that if he tries to walk out on something he's a part of, your big sister will beat his ass."

"Yes because I'm sure he'd be scared of the big bad Lana Skye." Ema mocked.

"Hey, no need to be bitter, I'm trying to help here, isn't that what you wanted?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just... scared." She muttered.

Lana lightly rubbed Ema's arm. "It's going to be okay, Em. He doesn't seem like such a bad guy anyway, he doesn't seem like the type to abandon you. Besides, he knocked you up so he probably likes you at least a little bit."

"I'll tell him tomorrow."

"Argh! Yesterday I told Lana I'd tell him today! But I haven't!"

Ema had gone to Maya and Athena, two friends she knew she could trust.

"Back up a bit, when did this happen?" Athena asked.

"About a month ago... it was only a one time thing though! And now we're going to be parents and we're not even together!"

"Do you like him? At all? Even just a little bit?" Maya attempted to seem calm in her questions, as a way for trying to keep Ema calm.

"That's why I'm so confused. I don't know how I feel about him. Athena! Help me! Read my feelings! Please!"

"Well that's kind of hard to do when they're all over the place. You have to calm down, I know you're panicking but please, calm down."

Ema leaned back in her seat and ran her hands through her hair, inhaling and exhaling deeply. Her breathing got shaky and she began to cry; "I don't know the first thing about parenting..." she buried her face in her hands and Maya rubbed her back sympathetically. "I'm okay, I'm okay... I'll go to his apartment later and I'll tell him. Thanks for helping me pull myself together guys, I needed it. I guess I'll see you later." She got up and left.

"Do you think she'll be okay?"

"Yeah. It's probably just the mood swings." Maya shrugged.

I'm gonna go to his apartment and tell him. I'm gonna go right now. I'm gonna tell him. I am. I will.

She knocked on his door and waited for him to answer. She began to feel sick to her stomach, as if she was going to throw up again. When he answered, she felt like running away.

But she kept her cool and softly said: "I need to talk to you."

He invited her in and she sat down, he took a seat in front of her.

"Are you feeling better? You had quite a few days off."

"Oh, I'm still feeling a little nauseous but I'm fine." She smiled. "Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about." She cleared her throat. "You know when I was here about a month ago? And we... yeah... well I..." I can't do this...

"What's wrong? You can tell me Ema"

"I-" She squeaked. "S-Sorry can I use your bathroom?"

"Just down the-"

Before he could finish his sentence, she was already up and rushed to the bathroom. She wasn't sure whether she was throwing up because she was pregnant or because she had freaked herself out so much that she had literally made herself sick. Probably both.

Okay, I need to stop stalling! He's the dad, I can't keep this from him.

He was waiting for her outside with a glass of water.

"Here."

"Thanks." She took small sips as he stroked her hair.

"Still not feeling good?"

Her whole body was shaking, she still had a sick feeling in her stomach. But she still told him like she told herself she would.

"I'm pregnant."

I know the ending seems rushed but there's a reason for that; as I was writing it, I accidentally came off the page without saving and I had to re-write the end.

New chapters coming very soon
