Tim + Lucy Oneshots

Story Number 5: Teen Pregnancy

A/N: @chenford_lovers19 Thank you for letting me use your idea. 

Chapter 1:

The corridors of West Valley High School buzzed with the usual teenage energy. Students hurried to their classes, exchanged gossip, and laughed at inside jokes. Among them were Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford, two juniors who stood out as the quintessential high school couple. Lucy, with her bright smile and infectious laughter, balanced Tim's more stoic and serious demeanor. They had been inseparable since their sophomore year, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

One crisp autumn afternoon, Lucy sat alone in the school library, her textbooks spread out before her. She tried to focus on her chemistry homework, but her mind was elsewhere. For the past few weeks, she had been feeling off—nauseous, tired, and anxious. After missing her period for the second month in a row, she had bought a pregnancy test. The two pink lines had appeared almost instantly, confirming her worst fears.

Lucy's hands trembled as she stared at the result. At just sixteen, she felt her world closing in. How could she be pregnant? She was just a kid herself. Panic set in as she thought about how she would tell Tim. They had always been careful, but accidents happen. She knew Tim cared for her deeply, but this was a life-changing situation.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Lucy packed her bag slowly, dreading the conversation she knew she had to have. Tim was waiting for her outside, leaning against his car, his usual confident smile fading as he noticed her troubled expression.

"Hey, Luce," Tim said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Lucy took a deep breath, feeling tears prick at her eyes. "Tim, we need to talk. Can we go somewhere private?"

Tim's concern deepened, but he nodded and led her to his car. They drove in silence to a secluded park, where they often went to escape the pressures of school and life. Once parked, Tim turned to her, his eyes searching her face.

"Lucy, you're scaring me. What's going on?"

With a shaky breath, Lucy pulled the pregnancy test from her bag and handed it to him. Tim's eyes widened as he took in the result, the color draining from his face.

"Lucy, are you sure?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

She nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I've taken three tests, all positive. I'm pregnant, Tim."

For a moment, Tim was silent, processing the information. Then, without a word, he pulled Lucy into his arms, holding her tightly. "We'll figure this out," he said, his voice firm. "I'm here for you, Lucy. We'll get through this together."

Chapter 2:

The days that followed were a whirlwind of emotions. Lucy's initial relief at Tim's support was soon overshadowed by the reality of their situation. She felt a constant weight on her shoulders, a mix of fear and uncertainty about the future. How would they manage school, a baby, and their own dreams?

Tim, true to his word, remained by her side, attending doctor appointments and helping her research their options. They both knew that telling their parents would be another monumental challenge. They decided to wait until they had a plan before breaking the news.

Despite his outward calm, Tim was also struggling. He felt the pressure of becoming a father at seventeen, knowing he would need to grow up quickly to support Lucy and their child. His part-time job at the local diner wouldn't be enough, and he started looking for additional work, balancing school and shifts to save up as much as possible.
