Andrew Garfield and Aurora Moore were best friends since they were kids meeting at a young age. But they drifted apart when Andrew left to pursue a career in LA and Aurora stayed in the UK for her own reasons. Their has always been lingering feeling...
The weeks have passed by pretty quickly and I am officially in my second trimester thank god because the nausea was horrible luckily the crew on the play I was doing and Michael were aware so they helped me out alot. Andrew and I are both back in England and have decided to tell our families about the pregnancy and also our friends but family first. My bump is starting to show now so we know we'll also have to address the press at some point but we're enjoying them not knowing for the moment. Andrew's mum is cooking us lunch and my dad's also been invited so we're gonna tell them then. It's the weekend so it's pretty relaxed and my outfit reflects that as I'm wearing a lounge set with trainers to lunch.
I help Andrews mum with lunch and we discuss wedding plans and other things whilst the boys chat. Once lunch is ready we all sit and eat and then we decide now is the time "I wanna propose a toast seeing as we haven't gotten around to having an engagement party yet. To my parents who have always supported me on my journey to finding my passion for acting. I love you both and to my future father in law thank you for bringing her into my life I love you. Finally to Aurora my best friend my beautiful wife to be and the mother of our unborn child I love you and can't wait to spend forever with you" he says and I don't think they get it and they just cheers "Guys we're pregnant" I say and Lynn starts crying as does my dad "Congratulations" she says hugging us both "How far along are you" she says "Thirteen weeks we've known for awhile but with my history we wanted to wait" I say and I look at my dad "Your mom is watching over you and making sure this little one is safe and healthy" he says "Yeah she is" I say "I love you. Congratulations to you both" he says "Love you too dad" I say and we hug. We show them scans and the small bump before we head home.

Andrew's brother Ben is working so we decide to facetime him as we've had something sent over to the hospital for him "Its not my birthday so I'm not sure why you've bought me something" he says "Its a gift for being my brother and my best friend throughout my life" Andrew says and he opens it and reads the card and sees the onesie "Are you guys serious" he says "Absolutely you're officially Uncle Ben which I'm sure the fans will lose their minds over given his tragic history in the Spiderman universe" Andrew says "Congrats" he says "Thank you. We'll have dinner soon and we can talk more about this" Andrew says "Definitely" he says and we talk some more before he has to go.
I call Ezra a few days later as he's been away to tell them the good news "Hi best friend" I say "Hi so when are you visiting so we can discuss wedding plans" they say "Actually we're postponing the wedding for awhile I know we had said by the end of the year but we're thinking spring next year instead that way the baby will be here and they can be there when we get married" I say "Did you just say baby. Did Andrew knock you up and put a ring on it. Is this why he proposed" they say "No we didn't know until after but I had suspicions" I say "How long have you known" they say "Seven weeks give or take" I say "Seven weeks and your only now telling me your best friend" they say "We only told my dad and Andrew's parents a few days ago. We didn't want to get people's hopes up in case something went wrong" I say "Okay I forgive you. Now show me the little alien" they say and I show them scans and the bump and we have a proper catch up.
I spend the next few days at home mostly going through scripts and emails trying to decide what to do next before my bump becomes a bit too big to get away with non pregnant roles. I have an appointment with my obgyn just for some routine bloods so Andrew isn't coming with me. I get there and they do the bloods and then the doctor wants to talk to me "I know your mothers history and you've been tested for the BRCA gene and we're negative but I had a look at your egg count pre pregnancy and it was quite low so its a miracle you were able to conceive" she says "What does that mean for future pregnancies" I say "If it continues to decrease conceiving naturally will be difficult a third time" she says "So I'd need IVF then if I wanted another child" I say "Possibly" she says "Thank you for telling me" I say.
I don't tell Andrew what the doctor said because he'd only worry and try to offer me a solution and I don't want to think about that right now. This baby is my focus right now and I'll worry about having another one when the time comes and I'll tell Andrew soon. I just need some time to process it myself first.
