Farah stared at the pregnancy test in her hand.
"Positive" Farah said as she stared at the plus symbol in utter shock. Only a few weeks ago she had gone out to enjoy herself. She only remembered having a couple of drinks and chatting with a man but nothing else afterwards. A few weeks ago she had started to feel unwell and would get sick in the mornings. She thought it would go away after taking some medicine but nothing changed. Ben had noticed and suggested Farah take a pregnancy test. Farah had laughed at the suggestion but after another day of feeling sick she decided to take the test. Farah never expected it would be positive but it was. She was in total disbelief and took two more just to make sure it wasn't a false positive. But after two more positive tests she realized it wasn't false. She was in fact pregnant. Farah never expected she would be a mother one day. So many thoughts ran through her head. What if she couldn't give her child the love it would need? What if she was unable to care for her child? She was so worried and knew she needed to talk with someone. Farah cleaned up before heading out of her private suit.

She made her way over the specialists training grounds. Farah knew there was one person she felt comfortable enough to discuss this with and that was her best friend, Saul Silva. She walked as fast as she could to his office. Once there Farah knocked on the door before entering. She saw Saul sitting at his desk doing some work. "Farah" Saul greeted her. However he noticed the look on Farah's face and knew something was troubling her. "What is it?" Saul asked as he looked at the blonde with concern. Cold blue eyes met warm brown ones as Farah took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant" Farah said as she stared at Saul, waiting to see his reaction. Saul looks at her with a shocked expression. The shocked expression turned into a happy one. "Farah that is wonderful news" Saul said with a smile on his face. However it was short lived when he saw the worry in his friends eyes. "Are you not happy Farah?" Saul asked.

"I don't know if I will be good mother" Farah admitted. She felt her body begin to shake and tears formed in her eyes. All the emotions she had bottled up on her way came flooding out. Saul immediately got up and pulled the blonde in for a comforting hug. He could understand that this was a lot to process and wanted Farah to know she had his support for whatever she decided to do. "It's going to be alright Farah I am here for you" Saul said softly . Farah cried in Saul's arms. On one hand she was afraid of becoming a mother but on the other she didn't have the heart to terminate her pregnancy. What if she regretted it later and lost her chance at motherhood. She was unsure of what to do. "I don't know what I'm going to do" Farah said. "Well that decision is yours to make but please know that I'm here if you need anything" Saul said "Though I believe you will make a great mother but that is solely up to you weather you want to go through with this or not" he said. Farah nods and the two stayed there for a few more minutes before Farah pulled away. Farah soon made her way back to her office. She knew she needed time to think about where to go from here.

A few more days went by as Farah thought about it before finally making her decision. She went back to see Saul and informed him that she would go through with the pregnancy and would be keeping the baby. Saul  was happy for his friend and promised to help her with whatever she needed. Farah would never let him know how much she appreciated his help. She knew the next nine months would not be easy but she knew it would be worth it. She knew she would try her best to be a good mother to her child and make sure they are cared for.
