G:I'm so stressed
You take her hands and squeeze it
Y/n:its gonna be okay Gracie don't worry
G:the thing is...I don't know if I want to keep it,
What if the father doesn't want it or...
Y/n:honey look, I can't say I know how are you feeling because I don't, but I know that it's hard raising a child,especially alone. So whatever decision you're choosing am gonna back you up and stay with you at all costs. But I beg you, please don't rush into taking decision that you may regret after.
You were called bu the doctor
G:can you come with me inside please ?
Y/n:of course
You walk inside,sit in the chair across the doctor as she starts asking Gracie some questions.
D:okay miss James can you lay down so we can look
Gracie walk to the bed and lay down as I stand beside her head and take her hand in mine. The doctor start looking through the monitor for a few minutes in complete silent.Even for me,those few minutes felt like an eternity.
D:okay miss James,looks like you're pregnant indeed
G:what?
D:yeah, you're almost 4weeks pregnant* she points to the monitor* look this is your baby
Gracie stares at the monitor for seconds before starts crying
G:that's my baby...omg, I have a baby
You start tearing up a little, you bend down and hug her
Y/n:yeah you are
D:okay miss James am gonna ask you to lay off alcohol and caffeine of course, no hard effort or action that will harm your baby,so avoid any kind of stress or arguments. And I'll see you in 4weeks for a check up. And here some sonogram pictures of your baby
G:okay thank you so much
Y/n:thank you doctor
You start walking in the hallway to the exit door, when Gracie suddenly stops and looks at you.
Y/n:what's wrong honey?
G:I'm gonna keep it
Y/n:really?
G:yeah, im having a baby
You hug her tightly
Y/n:you have no idea how happy I am honey.
G:me too
Y/n:now come on let's go get some food
You go to a nice restaurant, order some food and eat in complete silence
G:it's harisson
Y/n:excuse me?
G:the father...it's harisson
You stay still completely shocked
Y/n:ummm..wow,I can't say that I'm not shocked. How's,how?
G:remember the night of the ball, you left with Louis then Tom and Anya left, I was going home but haz offered to drive me. I invited him in, we talked for a bit. Then one thing leads to another, we started kissing then you know the rest
Y/n:yeah I do no need for details
G:and that was the first time
Y/n:there is a another time?
G:yeah,the party night at his place. We were all very drunk and I was the last one there soo..
Y/n:no wonder you're pregnant. No offense
G:none taken. How am I going to tell him?
Y/n:you have to. This isn't your fault honey
G:but its haz, he's kind of a player. And I know he won't accept it
Y/n:you have nothing to lose, even if you don't have him, you'll have me by your side through all of it. Plus it's his right to know that he'll be having a baby
G:I'll tell him today
Y/n:ok great. If you're done let's go before we get there late
G:okay let's go
After paying you take a cab and walk to your office with Gracie
G:okay wish me luck im going to his office
Y/n:good luck honey, and remember no arguments or fights
G:okay*she walk out of your office and heads to haz's office. She comes back minutes later shaking and tearing up*
Y/n:ohh no what's wrong?
G:he said that it's my fault,and that I should get ride of him. And that nothing proves that it's his
Y/n:WHAT? Honey sit down please
G:I can't i need some air im going out
As Gracie walks out of your office you make your way to haz's office, you slam the door and walk in without knocking
Y/n:you fucking dick
H:y/n calm down
Y/n:calm down?really? How could you talk to her like that? Have you any respect?
H:y/n...
Y/n:no can you tell me how is it her fault? As far as I remember it takes two people to conceive a baby
H:please...
Y/n:and you can't tell a woman what to do with her baby, even if you want nothing to do with it you have no right to tell her to kill her baby and get ride of it like it's trash
H:there is nothing that proves that it's mine
Y/n:there is no way that she would lie about a subject this sensitive and serious harisson.
In that moment Tom walks in
T:what's going on?
H:she can be mistaken maybe it's someone else
Y/n:if she says it's yours that means it's yours, you seriously have to stop treating us like whores that sleeps with everyone.
H:but..
T:can someone explain?
Y/n:look harisson, maybe you don't want it or you want nothing to do with it or her. But you cannot disrespect her, even if you think of harm her in anyway possible, you'll find me in front of you. I don't care that you're my bosse or my friend, I'll fight you for her, she'll have me by her side all along
You walk out of his office,slamming the door shut. You walk to your office and start pacing around. Few minutes after Tom walks in
Y/n:how can i help you mr.holland?
T:I need you to sit and calm down a bit
Y/n:im sorry i didn't mean to cause a scene but he played on my nerves, he had no right to talk to her like this
T:I agree with you
Y/n:did he tell you?
T:yes, so that's why she was in your place the other night
Y/n:she came to my place terrified,crying not knowing what to do. She has no one, her family is all the way in Australia
T:as I can see she has you, I didn't know you're this fiesty and feminist
Y/n:im not,but...how could he accuse her of lying about the identity of the father?
T:look y/n haz is stupid and a bit irresponsible
But maybe this is what will make him more mature and takes some responsibilities
Y/n:it doesn't look like he would want to be supportive
T:he was just shocked,give him some time. Meanwhile you can chill a bit
Y/n:i don't know if I can
T:take Gracie and go, she needs some distraction and so do you. You can go shopping. Buy an outfit for the birthday party, it'll be fun
Y/n:thank you mr.holland
T:no problem darling
