EMILY POV-

It was the weekend after Rocky kept face planting. And I woke up, feeling like crap. I threw up, right there. Right then.

"Shit." I mumble, as Riker starts to stir.

"Woah, are you okay?" He asks, worriedly. "Did you use a condom?" I asked, straight forward. Last week, the night Rock kept face planting, Riker and I. You know, did it..

"No, I thought you were on the pill!" He says. "Obviously not." I mumble, before running to the bathroom to throw up. Again.

Riker holds my hair back, as I puke.

"Want me to buy you some tests?" He asks. I nod, as I brush my teeth.

We both go downstairs, and Riker leaves..

I call Rydel, "Please come over! I need you." I cry into the phone. "Alright thanks, see you soon." I hang up the phone.

Five minutes later Rydel was walking through the door. "Why did you want me to get up at 6:30am?!" She asks, slightly annoyed.

"I think I'm pregnant, Riker is getting tests right now, and I'm worried, and I'm sorry!" I ramble, into her shoulder.

"Emily, hey. You'll pull through, and I'll be here." My best friend comforts me.

"But you have to promise you won't tell anyone, until we're ready. If I am." I state.

"I promise."

Riker soon walks in. "You told Rydel!" He yells.

"I promised I wouldn't tell if she is." Rydel fights back.

"Shut up you two. Riker give me the tests." I demand. Riker gives me the tests, and I head to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later I was running out of the bathroom, crying.

"Are you?" Rydel, and Riker ask. I point to the bathroom, meaning they can go in there themselves.

"I'm gonna be a Dad.." Riker whispers to himself, as he sits back on the couch.

"YES IMMA AUNT!" Rydel yells, excitedly.

I sit down next to Riker, "You okay?" I ask him, and rub his neck a little.

"Yeah, just shocked.." He says quietly.

Rydel goes to the door, "I'll leave you two be. Congratulations!" She skips out the door.

"Well.. When do you want to tell our families?" I ask.

"I guess tonight..?"

I nod, "Why don't you call them? I'll make us some breakfast."

Riker gets his phone out, as I walk to the kitchen.

--

I knock on the Lynch's door, patiently. Rocky opens it, with a bruised nose.

I laugh, "you got a bruise from face planting?"

"No. Alexa punched me in the nose, because I called some girl hot, and I was joking." He explains, while holding his nose.

I laugh even more, before pushing past him to get inside.

"Hey besties." I greet, and sit between Rydel, and Ryland.

"How ya feeling?" Rydel asks, whispering.

I whisper back, a good, before Catie and my mom walk in.
