Tonight you have dinner with Susan since she said she had something she needed to talk about

You've just been reviewing your scenes for tomorrow trying to get my mind off what happened yesterday night

You start to get ready put on some cute, casual yet comfortable clothing and wait to be picked up

You wonder what was so important it couldn't wait till next weekend your thoughts are interrupted by the doorbell ringing

You walk over to the door and open it "hey, you ready to go" Susan asks

"Yeah let me grab my purse" you say before walking out of the door and hoping in the car with her

"So where are we going? And what was so important it couldn't wait"

"Something happened" she say in a tone that frightens you a little

"Your not dying are you, omg I'm going to lose my best friend, this can't be hap-"

"Y/n calm down I'm not dying I just- there's something we need to talk about" she says

"Where are we going" you asks confused why you've been driving so long

"Somewhere quiet I can't have anyone finding out about this, I could ruin me"

"Susan what's going on, your scaring me" you finally say

Susan stops the car and pulls over to the side of the road before looking at me

"Y/n I'm pregnant.." she says with a broken voice

"Okay" I say blankly trying to process everything

"-and it's Alan's" she says barely getting it out before breaking down and crying

"It's-what I thought you were going to try and work things out with Robert" you say feeling guilty for Rob

"Since when did you care about Robert" she says harshly

"I mean he is your husband" you say defensively especially after he saved you that fight

"That didn't stop you" she says

"Excuse me" I say abruptly

Do I like Robert I mean maybe I have been enjoying spending all this with him, fuck focus y/n you snap out of my thoughts responding with-

"-you know what I'm going to leave that alone right now cause we have bigger things to discuss..- does he know"

"No" she says in a blank tone

"Are you going to tell him" you ask curiously

"I don't know" she responds swiftly

"You can't hide something like that from him he's going to find out at some point" you say knowing he needs to know

"Your right I need to make him think it's his, your so smart thank you for the idea"

this can't be happening you think to yourself something like this will break him

"What no that's not what I was say-"

"No it's genius" she says with a devilish smile- ugh well I guess we don't need need to grab dinner now you think to yourself

"Do you want to go try that new frozen yogurt place" you asks trying to change the subject

"Sure" she says pretending not to notice the subject switch but you know she did

We drive there and have our yogurt there's a little bit of small talk about work but the rest of the evening is quiet and tension filled

After we finish our yogurt she drops me off at my apartment "thank you for the ride" you say not knowing what else to say

"Yeah no problem, we'll talk soon" she says before driving off

Damn what is going on. Am I losing my best friend. Did I fall for her husband? Too many questions.

I need my rest tomorrow's a big day- wait I have to kiss Robert in the scene oh no...

Wake up that morning dreading filming today i don't feel like doing anything

Robert picks me up today but I don't say much "hey you okay?" He asks

"Yeah fine just tired"

"Oh okay" he says knowing to leave me alone

Once we arrive I go straight to my trailer to get ready to film. Once I finish I walk out on set to hear Jon say

"Big day at work everyone we are filming the sex scene so everybody get ready in your places please it's going to be a long day if we don't get this right" Jon says

What?! Sex scene I thought this was the first kiss scene, I'm not ready for that
