"How much longer?" Emma asked as she paced up and down the bathroom. The other two sat on the edge of the bath watching the clock.

"A minute." Ruby replied. Emma sighed and continued to pace up and down.

"Emma it'll be okay. No matter what the result is." Ashley said and Ruby nodded in agreement.

"It's time."

"Someone else look, I can't look at it." Emma said as she turned her back. Ruby picked up the test and stared at it for a moment.

"So?"

"It's positive." Ruby simply said.

"Really" Emma breathed. Her friends sat her down and knelt down beside her.

"You alright?" Ashley asked.

"I really don't know. " Emma replied barely making a sound. All of a sudden someone came rushing through the bathroom door. "Hey. What are you guys doing in here? Are you okay?" Anna said coming through the door slightly tipsy. The girls looked over at Emma who just stared at the floor. "We're fine Anna."

"No you're not. Guys what's going on." Emma didn't reply for a moment.

"Anna please leave, We'll explain later." Ruby said.

"Okay..." Anna said slowly leaving.

"So what are you going to do?" Ruby asked. Emma just shook her head.

"My parents always told me and my brother that they won't be mad if we make mistakes so long as we take the consequences. But this is a big mistake and I reakky have not thought this through all the way yet."

"Emma. I know your parents disagree with abortions but Emma you need to think what's best for you." Emma buried her head in her hands. "Ugh...I'm such an idoit."

"Well you could have used protection." Ruby muttered. Emma just glared.

"We did...but I don't..." Emma trailed off.

"Wait, who's the father?" Ashley asked.

"I'd rather not say until I've told him...and my parents."

"Hey, it'll be alright." her friends told her.

It was the following Monday when Emma walked into math class half an hour late and not even looking great. "Are you alright?" Ruby asked as Emma sat down.

"I believe this is what they call morning sickness. " Emma laughed slightly,

"Did you tell your parents yet?" Emma shook her head.

"They just think I got up late." Ruby gave Emma a disappointing look. "I know! But if it helps I'm gonna tell the father today." She whispered. The last thing she needed was rumors spreading round school. "Good for you."

That lunch time Ruby brought up the conversation again about the father of the baby. "For the last time I'm not telling you who it is untill I've told him." Emma sighed as Her, Ruby and Ashley sat at the table where August and Killian were already eating.

"You're not telling who about what?" August asked between mouthfuls.

"Wait the boys don't know yet?" Ashley asked. Emma shook her head and told her to shut up.

"Come on Em, we're your friends you can tell us." Killain said.

"I'd rather not, especially not in the canteen. I'm sorry I'll tell you soon." Emma felt guilty as they were her friends but she couldn't risk telling them.

"I don't know if I can do this." Emma said pacing up and down at the school gates as she waited for the father of her child to meet her. "Yes you can. It's his kid to, whoever he is." Ruby reassured her.

"I'm still not telling you."

"Damnit."

"Is it Peter?" Ashley asked as Peter walked past them.

"No and would you please stop guessing. That's the fourth time now." Emma exclaimed getting slightly annoyed with their guesses.

"Hey Emma." Neal said walking over. "So what do you need to talk to me about?" At that moment the girls realised and gasped.

"You know what, why don't you grab us a drink and I'll be right over." Emma suggested before turning towrds the girls.

"Neal?" They said in unison.

"Yes now Shh, don't tell a soul please?" Emma asked and they agreed.
