"Take a deep breath Nini" Nini told herself. She was currently sitting on the floor of her bathroom crying. Her arms were hidden in her sweatshirt and her hair was in a messy bun. She looked like a mess, but she did not care. How could she? There were more important things to worry about. She had to not fail her final exams, she had to move into her new apartment, but most importantly she had to tell her best friend that she was pregnant with his child.

It just kind of happened. He had taken his best friend out to party after her boyfriend broke up with her. They both were highly intoxicated and well one thing led to another. Let us just say they did things best friends were not supposed to with each other.

A couple of weeks after they had done it, she started throwing up for no reason and she just felt off. After contemplating things, the brunette decided to take a pregnancy test just in case, she would have bet that she was not pregnant, but turns out she was wrong.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door followed by the door opening. She quickly grabbed the pregnancy test and shoved it under the cupboard. A second later the opened to reveal her best friend, Ricky. His eyes immediately fell on his best friend sitting on the floor crying. Ricky immediately kneeled down next to her "Neens, what happened? Why are you crying?" He asked softly. Instead of answering she pushed him away and quickly stood up. She walked past him out of the bathroom and back into her bedroom. That left him confused, but he quickly pushed that thought away. His first priority should be his best friend right now.

When he walked into her bedroom, he saw her standing in front of her closet packing some clothes away in boxes. "Can you talk to me?" he tried again. She ignored him. Nini knew she had to tell him, but how was she supposed to do that? Her first thought was the internet, it has a solution for every problem, but no this one. You would think that this happened more often considering the fact that best friends to lovers isn't uncommon, but again nope. "Please talk to me, you are worrying me" The curly haired man tried again. Like the last time she ignored him though.

This time he had enough and walked over to her. Ricky put his finger under her chin to make her look at him, but she closed her eyes. She just could not look into his eyes yet, not like she will ever be able to do that again. "God dammit Nini. You are obviously either pissed at me or feel guilty, so just spit it out" He said slightly louder than intended.

"I'm neither of those things" She stated before freeing herself out of his grip. He let out a sigh "I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, but I'm just really worried about you. I have never seen you like this and neither am I sure how to handle it." That caused her to meet his eyes for the first time. As soon as the brunette realized what she just did she looked back at her clothes.

It was to late though. He had already noticed that she looked scared. He took another step towards her, but really slow. He tried to be quiet, but she still heard. When she tried to walk past him again, he grabbed her upper arms. "Neens, whatever it is just spit it out. There is something you want to tell me and keeping this from me for longer will only make it worse." She sighed in defeat "Fine, but you might want to sit down for this one." He raised his eyebrows but did as she suggested he should. Now he was sitting on her bed and she was standing in front of him.

"I'm pregnant" She mumbled. Ricky saw that his best fiend said something, but he could not hear her. "I did not get that, could you repeat it?" He asked. "I'm pregnant" She said more clearly and louder now. His eyes widened in surprise "Don't look so sad, you always wanted a child" he tried to cheer her up. "It's yours" She quietly added, but unlike last time he heard it this time.

His eyes widened in shock this time "You are pregnant with our child?" He asked. To that she only nodded her head. "How long have you known about it?" The curly haired man questioned. He was not sure whether to be mad, scared, nervous, or well happy. "I found out like 10 minutes before you walked into the bathroom" She answered him truthfully. "So, I'll be a father?" He quietly asked. "Yeah, I guess" she did not sound very excited.

He stood up and cupped her face with his hands "You don't sound excited. Care to tell me why? Do you not want the child? It's your body, meaning it's your decision, I can live with whatever is better for you."

That took her by surprise "You wouldn't mind if I got rid of it?" His face fell slightly, but he quickly covered it up. "Of course, I would rather you not get rid of our child, but if you do not feel ready to bring a child into this world, I won't force you. Whatever you decided, just promise me to tell me, will you do that?" He asked her. To which she only nodded her head.

"Why were you scared of telling me anyways?" "I thought you'd be ad at me" She quietly admitted. He frowned "Why should I be mad at you? We are two adulty who made a mistake, now we have t live with the consequences." "Right, a mistake" She thought to herself.

8 months later

After talking to multiple people, she decided to keep the child. You can imagine that Ricky was incredibly happy to hear that, but he would have supported her either way. Was it weird to be expecting a child with your best friend? Definitely. Did either of them regret keeping their child? No, definitely not.

Nini's due date was in two weeks and there was something she wanted, well more needed to talk to him about.

"Ricky" She said while walking into his office. Ricky took over his father's company right after he graduated. He immediately looked up "Hey Neens, something wrong?" He asked. She took a deep breath "We have to talk about something important." He was about to open his mouth when she added "And no it can't wait." He grinned slightly "Well do tell what it is."

Nini started playing with her fingers "So I've been thinking. My due date is in a few days and I don't know I just think our kid deserve better than this" She spoke.

The curly haired man raised his eyebrows "What do you mean with that?" "I think we should give her up for adoption" She muttered as an answer.

His eyes widened in shook "I'm not giving our child up for adoption. If you do not want her, I will take care of her, but don't ever say something like that again." "I was just thinking that she deserves parents who love each other and live together" She stated. "That's the reason you want to give our daughter away. Because you think I do not love you?" He asked surprised. "Yeah" Nini mumbled. That was the last thing he wanted her to feel. He abruptly stood up and walked over to kneel down in front of the brunette. He grasped her small hands in his larger ones.

"I love you. I really do and I love our daughter just as much, I know you do too. I do not want you to regret your decision od giving her away one day, just because you wanted her to have a perfect life. She will have two parents who love her, don't worry about that." Ricky softly said to her. "It's not the same thing Ricky. We love each other as best friends not a couple" She complained. He sighed and ran a hand through his curls. "Well, I don't know about you, but I do love in a romantic way. How could I not? You are perfect and everything I could ever want. So, if you want our daughter to have parents who love each other you just have to tell me if you feel the same" He told her.

That caused her to sit there frozen "You love me?" He nodded his head. That caused her to grin "I love you too."

3 days later

Rini was a thing now. They decided to only keep one of the nursery's for now, so they got rid of the one at Nini's place. Sounds odd, but they were spending mots of their time at his place anyways. Plus, it's nicer anyways.  Today was her due date and both decided to just watch a movie and relax. During the second movie Ricky fell asleep, but he was woken up by Nini.

10 hours later they were holding their new-born daughter. "I want her last name to be Bowen" the brunette blurted out suddenly. He chuckled at his girlfriend "If that's what you want, I'm down." Ricky walked over to his daughter and girlfriend.

He kissed his baby's head first, before doing the same to Nini. "Do you like the name Aubrey?" She asked him. He nodded his head "I like it a lot. "So, Aubrey Bowen, should we give her a middle name too?" He questioned.

"Please" She pouted. That caused him to chuckle again "Of course Neens, whatever you want."

That caused her to smile brightly "I want to honour my family too, since Aubrey was your grandmothers name, I was thinking Caroline. It's similar to my mom's name and I just like it."

The curly haired man smiled "Aubrey Caroline Bowen, I like it."

This was supposed to be sad, but I just couldn't get myself to do it
