A few weeks had gone by since Emily had moved into the villa with Ian, the couple we're still going strong. Ian had even taken Emily with him when he went to pick up some important weapons. Emily had found she enjoyed being with Ian, she enjoyed being in on things with his work, even if it was illegal.

Doing her makeup that morning her eyes fell upon an unopened box of tampons. She'd been here for 5 weeks now. Had she not had her period? Emily tried to think back. She really couldn't remember when her last one had been. Panic washed over her, what if she was pregnant and Ian didn't want a child? Emily sighed, they were going into the nearest town later that day so she could pick up a test then. Finishing off her make up she left the bathroom and tried to hide her panic in front of Ian, not wanting to let him know anything when it was still just a possibility.

Walking into the kitchen Ian was drinking coffee, waiting for Emily to be ready to go with him to a work meeting. Ian noticed straight away something was up with Emily. The way she wasn't sure about if she would have a cup of coffee or not when every other morning she had at least one cup of coffee without hesitation. Settling for a glass of water and half a grapefruit she sat opposite Ian. She really wasn't hungry due to the panic of the possibility of being pregnant but she knew if she was the baby needed the nutrients.

"What's wrong?" Ian asked gently reaching out to hold her hand.

"Nothing, nothing's wrong." She responded, he really couldn't know until she knew for sure.

"Are you sure?" He asked, he wasn't going to buy that she was fine that easily, it was clear that something was wrong.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm just going to have to pop to the drugstore later." She replied.

"Oh, um ok. Well you can do that." He responded, looking at her. "You would tell me if something was wrong right?"

"Yes, I would." She told him honestly.

"Good. So I don't have to worry?"

"No. You don't have to worry." Emily responded, breathing a sigh of relief. Oh how she hoped that she wasn't pregnant. She couldn't be, could she? She was pretty sure she had been taking the pill every day and he had used a condom. Hadn't he? She sighed, trying to take her mind off of it. It was probably just stress or the sudden change in her life which had caused her period not to come. Or at least that's what she hoped.

The morning couldn't have gone any slower, she was just desperate to know. She needed to know. The longer she went without knowing the more she panicked. She panicked about the baby, the baby and Ian's work. Ian's reactions, if she was pregnant would Ian still love her. Would she have to go back home? To her it just seemed like completely the wrong time. It was too soon

Finally time came for her to run into the drug store while Ian was picking up some things from another shop. Looking over the selection of pregnancy tests which one should she choose? Which was the most reliable? Not wanting to spend too long in fear that Ian would come looking for her she picked up one of each brand. Then She'd know for sure.

Returning home later that day she went straight up to the bathroom with the tests, taking one out of the box it came in she was hesitant. Maybe it'd be better to not know. Even if it was just for a bit. She wasn't sure if she was ready to be faced with this herself yet. When she was 15 she had an abortion, but the guilt that came with it. She didn't think she could go through that again making her only choice to carry the bAby to term, at which point she would be too attached to then Go and put it up for adoption. Making her only option to keep and raise a baby herself, a baby she wasn't ready for, a baby too early in the relationship.

Trying to calm herself down she finally got the courage to take the pregnancy test. Those 5 minutes waiting were the longest 5 minutes in her life. Looking at it, it was just as she had known. Positive. Throwing it in the bin she sighed heavily. She'd take another later just to be sure but she already knew. How would she tell Ian. Now was when all her fears came to life.
