Positive (Pick/Rome)

"Pregnant? Are you sure?" Pick asked Porsche again. The other guy nodded. He didn't seem too pleased with the discovery. 

"You don't want kids?" Pick was surprised. His best friend always talked about the family he wanted to build with his soon-to-be wife Emma. 

"I do, but it seems so early. We are not even married yet." Porsche sighed. Pick nodded knowingly. He patted his friend's back, understanding his struggle. 

"I feel you, man. But you can do it, look at me and Rome." He tried to encourage him. Porsche glared at him. 

"You and Rome are different." 

"How are we different?" Pick frowned. "We had a child unexpectedly and early, too." 

Pick remembered the day when Rome showed him the positive pregnancy test as it was yesterday. When the gynaecologist later confirmed Rome's pregnancy the reality finally hit Pick like a truck. He had just got a full-time job, and Rome had only a few months to finish the University. They lived in a small apartment, which wasn't big enough for the expanding family. Pick could still feel the fear of asking his father for help. He will never forget the older male's happy face when they announced he would be the grandfather. 

"But you two are mature and born to be parents," Porsche whined. Pick rolled his eyes, snorting at his best friend's stupidity. 

"No one is born as a parent. You have to learn along the way." He punched Porsche's arm jokingly. 

"How's Rome and Sean anyway?" Porsche asked, changing the topic.

"Good. Sean's turning three soon. We are thinking of giving him a sibling." Pick glanced at his friend. Porsche gawked at his statement, making Pick laugh.
