Chris' POV

"I'm pregnant."

Finally the bullet came in contact, knocking the breath out of me.

It couldn't be. I must not have heard right.

No.

No.

NO!

I blinked in shock waiting for a response and Alex just stood there staring back at me with tears in her eyes.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,

''Fuck!'' I roared uncontrollably making her flinch. I immediately regretted it and stepped closer to her.

''I'm sorry.'' I whispered.

This can't be happening.

Not now.

Now that I'm finally happy.

How the fuck am I supposed to tell this to Jamie?

She'll hate me.

I hate me.

''Chris? Say something please.'' She whispers desperately pulling my intention on her.

I take a deep breath and ask,

''Are you sure?''

She takes a paper out of her pocket and hands it to me. I take it and inspect it closely. It's a sonogram. A black and white photo of what is, without a doubt, a baby. A small one and the picture isn't quite clear, but it's definitely a baby.

I look up at Alex and her eyes are even fuller of tears now, she took her bottom lip between her teeth but it's quivering.

And then the million dollar question,

''I, I uh.... I am not trying to offend you, but I have to ask. Are you sure it's mine?'' I wait for her answer and she looks away from me to the floor. We were everything but exclusive, so I hope my question won't anger her. A deep breath she takes makes me focus on her again,

''No actually.'' She whispers out, shocking me for the second time.

I'm not sure if I should be relieved or even more frustrated.

She looks me in the eyes and tears spill from hers. I don't hesitate to quickly wrap her in a hug, sitting the both of us on the bed. She sobs lightly and I caress her back,

''I'm sorry Chris, I'm so sorry.'' She pleads through the sobs, I shake my head even though she can't see me,

''Don't apologize. Just please tell me what's going on.'' I whisper in her hair. She pulls away and clasps her hands in mine.

''You remember that we hooked up that weekend like three months ago?'' She asks and I nod, ''Well later that week I ran into Mark and we also, kinda, hooked up.'' She says a little awkwardly. Mark was her ex boyfriend, not a particularly good guy, broke her heart recently, but she always said he was a good fuck.

''Mark? What were you thinking Alex?'' I groan,

''I wasn't. You know it was always easy for us with the sex part.'' She explains.

And then it pops into my head, what could be a solution to all my worries. How did I not think about this before?

''But we used a condom. Did you use protection with him?'' I ask her hopefully and she only nods killing away my hope.

''You know it doesn't work 100% Chris.'' She says quietly. ''It's anyone's guess.''

''So how far along are you?'' I ask. As much as I hate this situation, I imagine it's even worse for her. I take her hand in mine.
