Giselle and Mason ended up spending more nights together than they'd thought they'd get to have. With that being said, they should've known something like this could've happened. It wasn't something that never happened, and was completely unheard of. This was something that happened to many people, and most of the people were close to Mason and Giselle's age.

It started off with Giselle feeling a little ill when she first woke up, and when she ate. Then she began to feel a little bloated, and she was hungrier at times. She didn't think anything of it, until she started craving tomatoes, something she hated with a passion. That was when she realized that something wasn't right.

So, the day she was supposed to go to Mason's for the weekend, she bought herself a test. She brought it with her in her bag, so he wouldn't see it. Then, she told him she was going to take a shower before they ate dinner that night. He agreed and went to the kitchen to make pizza, while she went to the bathroom to shower and do the test.

On the box, the test was said to take fifteen minutes, so she decided to take the test before she got in the shower. She looked at the clock on the wall in the bathroom, which was there so Mason would know if he was running late when getting ready in the morning, before she stepped into the shower.

Giselle took her time washing her hair and body. She wanted to give herself time to calm down and think rationally before she had to look at the results. Once she was finished showering, she wrapped her hair and body in a towel. She dried herself off and slipped on a pair of panties and Mason's shirt, before she threw the towel into the laundry basket.

Taking a deep breath, Giselle looked down at the test and her heart began to beat rapidly in her chest. On the test, there was a little plus sign. If she was pregnant, there'd be a plus, and if she wasn't, there'd be a minus. The test was positive, and she felt like she was going to pass out.

Giselle didn't know what to do, but she knew she had to make sure it was real. So, she quickly grabbed the other three tests she had bought, and used them as well. She decided she would go and eat dinner, pretend nothing was wrong, then go back and check the tests. If more of them were positive, she'd have to tell Mason.

"You took your sweet time, G." Mason joked, as he took the pizza out of the oven.

"Sorry, an old lady sneezed on me today by accident, and I just felt like I couldn't get the germs to wash off." She lied, and laughed to make it seem believable.

"I would've just quit right there and then." Mason replied, shaking his head with an amused smile on his face.

Giselle and Mason ate a peaceful dinner, and surprisingly Giselle didn't think about the pregnancy tests the entire time. Once she was done eating though, she began to feel nervous again. She had to make up a lie as to why she needed to leave the room.

"Excuse me," She murmured,"I drank a little too much water with dinner." She added, causing Mason to laugh.

Giselle quickly went off to the bathroom and closed the door. She then went over to the sink where the pregnancy tests were sitting. Her heart sank into her stomach when she realized that all of the tests were positive. Not a single one was negative, meaning she was indeed pregnant.

The girl lifted up the shirt she was wearing, and turned to the side so she could see herself in the mirror. Almost immediately she could tell that there was a small bump forming. It was barely noticeable, but she could see it, and she knew that eventually everyone else would be able to as well.

Giselle grabbed all four tests and stuffed them into her bag. She wanted to come to terms with the news for a couple of hours, before she finally informed Mason about the baby. She wasn't sure how he'd react, but she knew she was beyond nervous knowing there was a little human growing inside of her.

That night, she laid wide awake beside Mason. The man was asleep, and he seemed so peaceful. Around one, he rolled over and woke up a bit. He realized that his girlfriend was awake beside him, which caused him to sit up and rub the sleep from his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mason asked, turning on the bedside table lamp.

"I can't sleep. There's too much on my mind." She replied, making him frown.

"You want to talk about it?" He asked, completely sitting up in the bed.

Giselle sat up as well, and turned to face him.

"Mason, I just found out some news today that's going to change our lives." She said, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.

"What?" He questioned, causing Giselle to sigh.

Giselle leaned over the edge of the bed and grabbed her bag. She pulled out the four pregnancy tests that she had hidden under her clothes. She grabbed Mason's hand, and placed the tests in his hand. Mason was a bit confused at first, but after a minute, his mind finally began to work.

"You-you're pregnant?" He asked, his eyes becoming wide.

"Yeah," She murmured,"I'm sorry, Mason. I didn't mean for this to happen. I'll understand if you don't want it, but I--" She began, but he cut her off.

"Of course, I want it. This is our baby. I love you, Giselle, and I'd never leave you. This baby is just making me love you more." He said, and she smiled.

Giselle leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Mason. She was glad that he was happy about it, because she had a feeling her family wouldn't be...
