Adrian had called Ben at four thirty, after getting home back from her appointment with the girls, and told him to come over at seven. Her parents were going to a movie and dinner to give them some privacy. Adrian still hadn't told her parents since she wanted Ben to be with her when she told them.

As Adrian was preparing dinner for her and Ben, she thought back to the night her baby was conceived. She had just switched her birth control and they were too into it to stop for condoms. After they had sex, they laid in bed making out and talking.

Flashback

"I love you." Adrian said

"I love you too. I'm going to marry you one day." Ben replied

"Are you serious? About us getting married?" Adrian asked

"I couldn't imagine myself married to anyone else." Ben said

Ben leaned into kiss Adrian.

"I wish we were eighteen now, then we could get married." Adrian said

"I was thinking more like after we graduate, like after we've been in college a while." Ben suggested

Adrian didn't respond and instead started to kiss him again. He started kissing up and down her neck.

"I love you. We're going to be so happy." Adrian promised

End flashback

Adrian snapped out of the memory and went back to cooking. She was making Ben's favorite, Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti and salad. Adrian took out an onion to cut up for the sauce and a wave of nausea hit her. Adrian clamped her hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom. She passed the living room where her mom, Cindy, was sitting and didn't have time to close the bathroom door as she emptied her lunch into the toilet.

"Adrian, sweetie? Did you just throw up?" Cindy asked

Adrian was brushing her teeth.

"Yeah that was weird." Adrian said

"Are you alright? Do you have a fever?" Cindy asked

She touched Adrian's head.

"I'm not sick, it was just the smell of those onions." Adrian replied

"Adrian, look at me. Are you pregnant?" Cindy asked

"Please don't be mad." Adrian said

Adrian started to tear up.

"Come here." Cindy said

Cindy opened her arms and Adrian leaned into her chest. They sat down and Cindy called Adrian's father, Ruben, down.

"Is it Ben's?" Cindy asked

"Yeah." Adrian said

Ruben was about to ask something when the doorbell rang. Ben was there early. Cindy answered the door since Adrian was in tears and Ruben was too angry.

"Hey Adrian, whoa what's wrong?" Ben asked, confused

"Think you're a man? Come and talk to me like a man." Ruben said

He stood up.

"What did I do?" Ben asked

"He doesn't know? You didn't tell him?" Ruben asked

"I just found out." Adrian lied

"You took advantage of her. My daughter's pregnant because you." Ruben said

Ben looked at Adrian stunned. Adrian couldn't face him right now so she ran upstairs. Cindy ran after her leaving Ben and Ruben alone.

At school on Monday

Adrian's parents weren't very happy with her but decided to support whatever she decided to do. Adrian tried calling and texting Ben, but he didn't pick up or reply. They didn't share any classes and he managed to avoid her until they were heading outside at the end of the day. Adrian pulled him aside.

"Ben, why don't you pick up when I call? Why are you acting like this?" Adrian demanded

"Like what? How am I supposed to act?" Ben asked

"I don't know, maybe a little happier we're going to have a baby." Adrian said

"How can I be happy? When I feel so guilty and stupid. We should have used condoms every time, no matter what." Ben said

"What does that matter now?" Adrian asked

"What does that matter? It matters if I ruined your life and my life." Ben said

"You didn't ruin anything. Everything's fine." Adrian said

Adrian tried to reassure him.

"Yes I did Adrian, yes I did." Ben said

Ben sighed and walked outside.
