I'm sorry, this idea just flashed into my head. I hope you guys like it, and let me know if you have any ideas for the baby name, gender, and storyline. More coming up soon!

God no god no god no, she whispered to herself. She chewed nervously her nails, looking at the clock. Just one more minute.

She felt nauseous again, figuring it was just the stress. At least, she hoped it was just the stress.

Because what is she was... No, she wasn't even going to think it. Just, aggressively avoiding, like the past couple of weeks.

She heard someone knocking on the door.

"Are you okay?', Riley asked.

"Y...yeah, just, give me a sec.', she answered.

"You don't have to do this alone, peaches."

She couldn't answer, because it was time. She wiped her sweaty hands on her pants and grabbed the stick.

Two little pink stripes that were going to doom her for eternity.

Maya is pregnant.

"Maya?', her best friend nervously asked.

Maya just couldn't believe it. She didn't felt pregnant. Maya just couldn't imagine that there was a little life growing inside of her.

And she hate to say it, but she didn't want to.

She wasn't ready to be a mom! She was just 23 years old. In the prime of her life. She had a bucketlist in her life.

She couldn't even imagine what her boyfriend was going to think.

Her boyfriend, Nico Costa, was the sweetest, cutest guy you could imagine. He had had beautiful brown curls. His eyes are so brown, it was almost black and a smile that could melt you. He loved Maya with all his heart, could endure all her moods and loved baking. God, Maya loved his baking. Not to mention, he was a art student just like her. That's where they met. In their first year, they disliked each other due to a disagreement. In their second year, they fell in love. In their third year, they became a couple. In their fourth year, they were known as relationship goals. After their study, they moved in with each other, in the cutest apartment you could imagine, down the hall from Riley's.

They planned everything. After their study, get an apartment together. Check. Find a steady job with a solid paycheck. Only Maya had that one done as soon as she finished college. She was a teacher at the same middle school where she went to. Nico was still looking, but he applied by a museum and a art gallery. After that, they would enjoy their life as childless people, drinking until they couldn't stand. And have sex every day. More than every day. And everywhere.

And after they were in their 30's, get married and have children. Have to wake up every day at 6 am, carpooling and having sex once in the three weeks. Maybe less. Maya wasn't even sure if she wanted to have children. She loved children, but was she really fit to raise a baby, after growing up with half a mother and no father. And Nico, who was a orphan since he was six.

Where they really going to raise a baby?

Maya opened the door. "Positive."

"Really? O my god Maya that's so great!', Riley rambled happy. Then she stopped smiling. "Are you not happy?"

Maya just looked at the ground as she passed Riley and crashed on the couch. "Well, you know how I think about babies and all that kind of stuff, Riles. I want that, just... Not now."

Riley sat down next to her, holding her hand. "You're scared, aren't you?"

Maya just nodded. She felt tears stinging in her eyes, but she blinked them away. Not was not the time to be emotional. "Maybe it was just a false positive? That happens a lot, right?"

"I don't think so, Peaches. You've been trowing up, you've missed two periods, and not to mention you've been peeing like five times a hour-"

"Now you've said that I gotta pee again-"

They both laughed.

Riley looked at her. 'You're going to be fine, Maya. You have a awesome apartment, a cute boyfriend, and a good job. Just because you had a bad childhood, doesn't mean your child is going to have a bad one too."

"Riley, my mom got left when she got me. My grandmother got left when she had my mom. Her mother probably too. It just runs into the family. Nico will probably leave me too."

"What? No he won't! Maya, he loves you!"

Maya looked at her. "Does he?"

She heard the key go through the lock and the front door open. Nico walked to the living room, seeing the two girls sitting on the couch. "Love, you don't believe what happened today! I... Is everything alright?"

Riley stood up. "Everything is wonderful, Nico! I'll be going now. Maya, don't forget, we're meeting Farkle tomorrow at The Spotted Pig. Don't you dare to be late!"

She kissed Maya on her cheek, ran her hand through Nico's hair and left.

"What's a Farkle?"

Maya laughed. "He was a friend of mine and Riley's. We've known him since kindergarten, but lost touch since college."

"That's a long time', he said, while kissing her.

"Yeah... He and Riley got in a serious argument, and we had to pick sides. Of course I took Riley's. Our other friends took his side. Haven't seen them since. Riley ran into him a few days ago. They agreed to meet up, dragging me into it."

Nico laughed. Oh, that beautiful smile. "Sounds fun. Anything else happened?"

She sweats nervously. "Maybe you should sit down."

"Oh, ow. That doesn't sound very good He sat down, and pulled her on his lap. "Wait.. You aren't breaking up with me right?"

Maya shook her head, laughing. Then, in a eyebeam, she got serious. "I'm pregnant."

His laugh died. "You're what? Are you serious?"

She stared at him, not knowing whether he was serious or not. In panic, she stood up from his lap.

"That is... Amazing!"

She actually thought she would be relieved hearing that. So why was she not relieved? "Really?"

"Yeah! A little bit sooner than I hoped, but Maya... We are going to be parents. We are having a... Hey, are you not happy?"

She took a deep breath and grabbed the small statue to keep her hands busy.

It was a mermaid, laying on the ground with her hair around her that made her look like a sun. Nico made it when they just started dating and gave it to her as a present. It is, until this they, the greatest gift she had ever received. "I'm scared. Are we ready to be parents? I don't even really know if I want to keep this baby."

"Maya Penelope Hart are you out of your mind? You are going to be a great mom! And I hope to be a great dad. Oh, Maya, I'm so happy. Let's go out and celebrate!"

"Hm, okay then. Lemme pee first."

She ran up to the bathroom, thinking that it actually was going to be alright.

"And you are due on 10 January.', the doctor told them.

Nico squeezed her hand. He was so happy, and Maya was so glad. "So how many weeks is the baby?"

"9 weeks. In three weeks we are able to find out the gender. Did you guys just found out?"

"Yeah, yesterday', Maya said. "Why? Is that bad?"

"No, no, absolutely not! Most people find out when they're two to six weeks along."

Maya looked at the doctor. She was a nice middle-aged women. Her hair was starting to get grey, and she had wrinkles, but that made her kind of pretty. "Maya, you don't have to worry."

"How did you know."

"Sweetheart, I've been a gynecologist for almost thirty years. You are not the first scared mom. But every time a scared mom walks out with a baby, she isn't scared anymore. Now you can hardly imagine that scared feeling gone once you get to hold your baby."

Her words actually calmed her. Maybe she can be a good mother.

"And where-" the doctor pointed at the small spot on the screen "-is the baby."

Maya squeezed her eyes. "Where?"

"Here." She kept pointing at the same spot.

Maya was so embarrassed. "I still can't see it', she started to cry. She looked at Nico. "Do you see it?"

"Yes, Love, do you see that spot? The spot shaped like a peanut?" Maya nodded. "That's it, Maya. That's our baby!"

Maya laughed through her tears. "That peanut-thingy over there?"

"Yes', he laughed. "Our little peanut."

Doctor Jumpings smiled at them. "Yes, a very big peanut. Giving the baby a nickname stimulate the brain. Keep talking to it. You can rub your belly, babies like that."

"People often call them peanut?"

"No. The more common comparisons are bean, or jellybean, but that is in the earlier stage. In this case, peanut is more appropriate, since it was actually shaped like a peanut."

She handed them a flyer. "Please be aware that you can't drink or smoke anymore. Also wise to avoid sushi, liquorice and drinks that contain caffeine. So no more coffee and Red Bull."

"No more coffee?" Damn, this pregnancy was going to be hard.

"And do you hear that?', Doctor Jumpings asked. The room was quiet, and all there was to hear were the cars outside and... a little beating sound.

"Is that the heartbeat?', she laughed. She tended to start crying again. Keep yourself together, she thought.

"That was it for today. You and the baby are doing very good." Doctor Jumpings have Maya a piece of fabric to clean the gel. "At the front desk you can schedule a appointment and pick up the picture of the ultrasound. And I'll see you guys in 4 weeks."

They shook hands and they were on their way.
