Henry continued dating his mother's best friend in secret over the next several weeks. He wasn't sure how to tell his mom about their relationship. Somehow, he felt that she wouldn't be so thrilled about the two of them being together. No, she'd probably be pissed about it.

One day, Carla told him "I lied."

"What did you lie about?"

They were sitting on the couch at her place, watching TV together, a bowl of popcorn between them. Carla looked at him and said "I lied about having my tubes tied. You've been fucking me completely unprotected and I'm pregnant now."

His eyes went wide in shock. "What? But why would you do that?"

"Because I'm so much older than you! I was afraid you might get bored of and leave me. I thought that if you knock me up, I'd always have a reason for you to stay around. I wanted to make it so you couldn't leave me."

Henry placed his hand on his chest. "Aunt Carla, you didn't have to do that. I'd never leave you."

"Really?"

"Yes. In fact, I think I've fallen in love with you."

Carla smiled, tears of joys falling from her eyes. "I love you, Henry. And don't you worry about our baby. I have more than enough money. You just continue going to college and contribute when you graduate and land a job, okay?"

"Okay. So when are we telling my mom about us?"

Carla mused. She said "Tomorrow. Your mom just told me she got a raise. It put her in a really good mood. We should take advantage of that while we can." Henry nodded, agreeing with her

"Okay. We'll tell her tomorrow."

That afternoon Carla drove him back to his apartment. She said goodbye to Henry outside the building, kissing him on the lips and then leaving. He smiled as he made his way up the stairs. He spent some time buried in his textbooks, studying until his mother returned from work. She could tell he was in a good mood but didn't know why.

That night he tossed and turned in excitement. When Carla said that she's pregnant, he was very shocked. Yet the way she quickly assured him that it's going to be okay and he can keep going to college made him so happy, knowing she had planned everything out.

When Carla came over the next day, Henry was beside himself with excitement.

Drew frowned. She could see that her son was very giddy, an unusual phenomenon given how he normally behaves. "What's going on?"

"We have something to tell you," Carla said to her best friend.

She entered the apartment and looked Drew in the eye.

Drew stared right back. "Go on then," she replied.

"I'm dating your son."

Carla then grabbed Henry's hand, making him blush. Drew gaped in shock. She stared at the two of them uncomprehendingly. She couldn't believe her ears yet her eyes told them the same thing, seeing their interlocking fingers and the way Henry was blushing madly.

"Are you out of your mind? You've known him since he was a kid!"

"Yeah, well he isn't a kid anymore!" Carla fired back hotly. She glared at Drew. " He is an adult now! He can make his own choices and he chose to be with me! Isn't that right, honey?" The blonde woman directed the last part at her much younger lover gently. He nodded shyly.

He then said to his mother "I know this upsets you, Mom, but she makes me happy. I love her so much and it would mean a lot if you approve of this."

"How can I approve? You are my little boy and she is my best friend."

"Your little boy is grown up now, Mom. I will always love you but she is my girlfriend and I want to be with her. So please..."

Drew held up a hand. She sighed. "Alright," the woman murmured. "If you truly are serious about her, then I suppose I have no choice. I give you my blessing."

Henry smiled. He hugged his mother.

"Thank you."

"Oh, and one more thing," interceded Carla. She told Drew "I'm pregnant. You're going to be a grandma."

Drew's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "How did that happen?"

"I lied to your son that I had my tubes tied."

"Urghh."

"Come on! Don't you want a grandchild?" said Carla, talking to her best friend and trying to make her calm down. Eventually, Drew calmed down and reluctantly said she's okay with it.

Henry moved in with Carla the next day.

The two of them went on to marry a year after he graduated and lived together happily ever after.

The End.
