Aubrey stared anxiously at the clock at she waited for it to strike 6:30 so she could Skype Chloe. The blonde and the redhead hadn't had much of a chance to communicate since winter break started due to annual Posen family holiday tour throughout the northeast. But tonight the couple finally had overlapping free time to do some much needed face-to-face catching up. When the clock flipped to 6:30, Chloe signed on, like she promised, and Aubrey immediately started a call with her.

Both girls' faces immediately broke out in a wide grin at finally seeing the other's face after almost two weeks without contact. For a couple of moments both girls took a chance to just look at the other and appreciate how far technology had come to allow long distance relationships to feel a little closer.

Chloe was the first to break the silence, "How have you been babe? I missed you."

Aubrey shrugged, "Getting to see my family has been great, but I've been sick the past couple of days so I haven't been able to ski with everyone else. It's not so fun having to stay home and watch movies while everyone else is on the slopes. And the worst part is just when I feel better and think I can eat something besides soup, I puke again."

Chloe gave Aubrey a sympathetic look over the webcam before cooing at the blonde, "Awe, I'm really sorry. I wish I was there to take care of you and keep you company while the rest of your family abandons you."

Aubrey just rolled her eyes at her adorable girlfriend, "I would love for you to be with us Chlo, but I'm not quite ready for you to meet my family yet. They're pretty intense. And don't worry, I told them to go on without me. I would feel bad taking away ski time from anyone because I have a small case of the flu. Anyways how have you been?"

"Not too bad. I've been spending a lot of time at my alma mater, helping my old history teacher. Being there has made me want to consider teaching instead of med school."

"Chloe you're so wonderful and giving that you would make a great teacher or doctor. You've got seven more semesters of college to figure-"

Before the blonde could finish her sentence a booming voice came from downstairs, "AUBREY! Come downstairs, we're having dinner."

The blonde rolled her eyes before turning her attention back to her computer. "I have to go. I'm so glad we were finally able to work out a time. I'll see you in two weeks. I love you."

"I love you too."

And with that, the redhead was gone. Aubrey let out a sigh as she went downstairs to join the rest of the Posen clan for dinner. Aubrey was spaced out for the duration of the meal as the rest of her family talked about their best runs of the day, trying to think of a way to see Chloe earlier than planned.

"Earth to Aubrey!"

The blonde was shaken from her thoughts when her cousin Anya called her name from across the kitchen. "What?"

"I just said, come in her and help me wash the dishes. It's our turn. Remember?"

Aubrey stood up and picked up all of the dishes still left on the table before making her way to the kitchen. Immediately after walking in, Anya was in Aubrey's face with a knowing smirk. "So, was it positive or negative?"

Aubrey furrowed her brow, "What are you talking about?"

"The pregnancy test."

Aubrey's mouth dropped. She had been out to her entire family for over two years, and had told her cousin that she had started taking birth control. After thirty seconds without getting anymore than a couple of vowel noises, Anya broke the silence. "Oh come on Bree, I know you're super gay and all, but don't try to tell me you've never gotten a little tipsy at a party and done something you regretted with a guy."

"No Anya, I haven't, I'm Kinsey six gay. I've had a girlfriend the past two months and I'm on the pill. All of that adds up to pregnancy being impossible."

Anya nodded and took in everything Aubrey had just told her when suddenly something clicked. "Wait. If you don't do guys, why would you throw in being on birth control?"

Aubrey felt her face get hot with embarrassment and turned away from her cousin, "Because… Well… Chloe wasn't born like most other girls. She kind of has a little extra equipment…"

"Holy shit Bree! You really have to take a test like right now. We'll tell everyone we're getting Sprite to settle your stomach."

The girls left without much protest from the family, the men had started on their nightcaps and the women were watching some stupid reality show. The girls went to the nearest grocery store and bought one test and a case of Sprite before heading back and making a beeline straight for the bathroom. Aubrey had been drinking fluids all day to keep hydrated, especially under the impression of being sick, making the test a breeze. The three minutes it took for the test to be completed went on for hours. Thoughts of what she would do if the test came back positive ran through her mind. How she would she tell Chloe? How would her family take it? What did this potentially mean for her future?

When the timer chirped signaling the end of the wait period, Aubrey looked up at Anya with tears stinging at the backs of her eyes, ready to spill over regardless of the results. "I…I… can't look. Will you look for me?"

Anya just nodded and grabbed the stick, slowly turning it over, not loving the fact that she was in charge of telling her cousin whether she would be able to continue being a carefree college student, or be in charge of a tiny human's life. Anya was greeted to the sight of two pink lines running through the middle of the test.

"Bree… I'm sorry."
