Don't own them…blah blah blah
Correction for time that went by: Its suppose to be eight weeks instead of five weeks.
They looked at the test, and it was positive.
"Eric." Marina breathed.
"I know."
"I'm going to wait to tell Francesca, she'll be gone for a few months."
"Yeah that's good but how are you going to explain your belly when she gets back?"
"I don't know yet."
They just stood there looking at the test when Francesca's voice called out.
"Marina are you here?"
Marina gives the test to Eric and he sticks it in his pocket just as Francesca walks past.
"Ah there you are what's going on?" Francesca asks.
"This is Eric, Eric Francesca." Marina introduced.
"Nice to meet you, so how did you and Marina become friends?"
"Well…
Flashback…
Eric and Marina were going into the tenth grade, they had grown up together.
Ever since their mothers started that play date thing. His father died of a brain embolism when he was twelve so his mom and grandmother raised him and his siblings.
So they have been friends since they were babies. Eric was the middle child, he had six siblings.
Three brothers and two sisters, Eric enjoyed being with Marina more than with his siblings. In the younger years they were very close, but as the years went on something had changed between them. They kissed instead of hugged. They spent most of their time together and whenever Eric would be around another girl Marina felt anger within her. And the same would happen to Eric about Marina.
That day under the reading when they had sex, something indeed changed between them. They were no longer close friends they were now connected by that one moment…
End of flashback…
"We knew each other since our mothers started a play date when we were three." Eric replied.
"Oh that's interesting; it was nice meeting you Eric. I have to leave for the airport, bye Marina I'll call you when I get to the hotel." She kisses Marina and leaves.
"What an interesting woman, that Francesca." Eric replies.
"Yeah…"
About six weeks later…
They had gone done the check up, Marina was about three months along. It wasn't obvious that she was pregnant yet. And Francesca still didn't know, she was still off on business. She wanted to keep it that way at least for the time being. She knew exactly what Francesca would say too. "What the hell is wrong with you? A baby now? Honestly Marina where is your head…"
"Marina, hello Marina?" Tina calls out waving her hand in front of her face.
"Oh yes, sorry." Marina apologized.
"What's with you?"
"Nothing, what's up?"
"Are you going to join us?" Tina asked.
"No, Eric and I…"
"What's this? Marina has a BOYFRIEND? Does Francesca know?"
"No, leave me alone. And he's not my boyfriend!"
As the weeks went on Marina's moodiness was starting to become more noticeable. It didn't help when she received a phone call from Francesca that said she has to stay for a month and a half more because the movie's production is running behind.
Her friends noticed a big change especially Kit who wasn't discreet when she made a personal comment.
"Geez Marina, what's up with you? The way you are acting almost seems like you're pregnant."
Marina stared at Kit.
"Wait I was kidding." Kit says.
"You're pregnant?" Tina asks.
"Yeah.
"I didn't think you and Francesca were doing that."
"We're not, she doesn't know.
"Marina!"
"She doesn't know and it's Eric's.
TBC
Coming attraction…
When Francesca comes home she is told that Marina is in the hospital, not knowing why Francesca rushes over there…
"She's where, in what section?" Francesca questions…
