(Disclaimer: I don't deny that Sophie Newton is a strong, smart woman, but in this chapter she seeks help and support from fellow youtubers)
Sophie's POV:
I got a small backpack worth of stuff, including the pregnancy test (yes I know maybe kinda gross) and my phone together. I sent a text to PJ
"Going out for a bit", and then left the flat. As I walked and got on the tube, my thoughts continued to surround around the little life form within me. I played a bit of Crossy Road, but I was so distracted that the chicken only managed to cross 2 roads before dying. After getting off the tube, I hurried off to the building I was looking for. I knocked on the door, holding my breath. I could hear talking behind the door, before the door opened to reveal Dan.
"Hey Sophie, what's up?" I looked at him, suddenly I felt my eyes sting up with tears. I threw myself on him, pushing us into the flat. I started tearing up uncontrollably. Dan curled his arms around me and managed to shut the door, before leading me to the lounge. I couldn't spit out a single word through my tears and gasping between sobs.
"What's wrong Sophie?" Phil asked, standing up from the sofa as we entered. Phil was holding a 6 month old baby, giggling and gurgling from play time.
(I don't normally ship Phil and Dan, but for this story, I'm having them be in a romantic relationship, so DEAL WITH IT. Fair warning: this story less focuses on Dan and Phil's relationship and more on the fact that Sophie is using them as support. That is also why I don't name whether they are boyfriends, fiancés or husbands)
Phil put his arm around me as I sat down on the sofa, Dan took the baby and disappeared deeper in the house, off to make tea I assumed. When I was able to speak, Phil repeated "What's wrong Sophie?" Not looking up, and feeling ashamed
"I'm pregnant." I didn't look up to see Phil's reaction.
"Does PJ know?"
"No, I just found out." I said pulling the pregnancy test out of my bag and handing it to Phil.
"I'm scared. I don't know what will happen when I tell PJ." Phil didn't say anything, and instead held me tighter. I started to cry again. Dan came back with tea
"Are you ok Sophie?" Dan asked, knowing the answer already. I looked up at him through my tears, his brown eyes looked at me in deep concern. The baby still in Dan's arms, saw me and made a funny gurgling noise, I laughed a little and smiled through my tears.
"Dan, I'm pregnant." I said in reply as Phil handed him the pregnancy test and he looked at it quizzically. Dan sat down on the other side of me, with the baby on his lap. 5 minutes later, I felt able to fully talk. I was holding the baby. Oh yeah, by the way may I introduce
"William Richard Lester-Howell".
I was holding little Will, as he babbled to himself, playing with his feet. He was such a happy baby.
"So how are you going to tell PJ?" Dan refocused us on to the elephant in the room.
"I don't know!" I said, "That's why I came to you guys! How did it happen with you?" Dan looked at Phil.
"Well it was a big shock," Dan said "of course nobody thought it was possible for us."
"Well when I found out I was pregnant, the doctor told me about 'carriers', men that can get pregnant. I bought a dummy (pacifier or binky) at the local shop. When I got home I gave it in a box to Dan to open. Of course,"
Phil looked teasingly at Dan, "being the simpleton he is, Dan didn't get it at first."
"Hey!" Dan exclaimed lovingly.
"Dan thought I had bought it off the internet, on one of my 'pointless-online-shopping' sprees, especially since it was a lion face dummy. I then sat down, and held both his hands in mine. I looked into his eyes and said 'Dan, I'm a carrier, which means I can get pregnant, and I am pregnant with your child'" Phil said, imitating himself in the reenactment of the event. "And then 36 weeks later, you came about" Phil said playfully to the smiling 6 month old. Dan turned to me and said "Sophie, I'm sure PJ would like to know". Dan invited me out to luncheon with Phil, Will and him. I gladly accepted. Dan bundled Will up, making him smile the entire time and put him in the baby sling. We walked out together.
