I had been feeling really ill recently; like really ill. I had been waking up throughout the night and vomiting and I had been feeling tired all the time. At first I thought it could have been some kind of stomach bug or flu, but then I noticed my period was late. Eventually, I took a pregnancy test, just to put my mind at ease. Seth and I had been careful. We had always used protection, but when I slept with Dean I couldn't remember anything, so I wasn't even sure if we used a condom. Dean wasn't talking to me, so I couldn't ask him. So a test would have to tell me. My mind was racing as I waited for the results of the test and I was suddenly questioning whether I even wanted children. Do I? Yeah, sure. Was I ready right now? No!. After a few minutes, I looked down at the test in my hand and almost dropped it on the floor as two pink lines confirmed my suspicions. I started crying, I couldn't help it. Everything had happened so fast, everything was such a mess. I didn't even know what to do, let alone what to think. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and, before I could even react, Seth appeared in front of me.

''Oh sorry babe I didn't realize you were in here" His eyes widened as he saw the test in my hand "Is...is that what I think it is?''

''Yeah'' I replied

"Are you pregnant?" He asked 

I nodded

''How could this happen? I mean, we've been so careful?'' he asked as he stared down at the small stick in my hand.

''This is all my fault. I shouldn't have known better. I should have never drank so much-''

''Wait, a second. Are you trying to tell me that this baby is Dean's?'' Seth asked.

''I don't know!. I mean, it must be right? We always use protection. How could it not be his?'' I replied.

''Condoms aren't always 100% reliable'' Seth pointed out

I nodded and wrapped the test in some toilet tissue before chucking it into the bin. I made my way out of the bathroom and laid down on the bed. Seth usually shared a hotel room with Roman and Dean, but since what happened at Roman's house, Seth got his own room and when he was in town, I'd stay with him. At that very moment, I was glad that they were in a separate room. The last thing I needed to deal with was Dean and his childish behavior or Roman with his endless questions. 

"Just when I think I can't mess things up anymore, I get pregnant'' I mumbled as I turned over onto my side, resting my head against the pillow. I felt the mattress dip and Seth climbed onto the bed beside me.

''I'll support you no matter what'' he replied as he wrapped his arms around me

''Thanks'' 

''Dean needs to know" Seth mumbled into my shoulder. "I know things aren't great between you at the moment, but you could be carrying his child"

I sighed and turned around to face him. ''One day at a time'' I said as I stared into his deep brown eyes 

''One day at a time'' he agreed as he pecked me on the lips, holding me close to him

I was freaking out inside. I was panicking about being pregnant; I was panicking about how I was going to keep my job as a fitness instructor. I was panicking about having to tell Dean, and I was panicking about how he may react. What if he was angry? What if he freaked out, too? So many thoughts were rushing through my head and I shut my eyes until I heard Seth groan in annoyance behind me at the sound of someone knocking on the door. 

Seth got off the bed to answer the door. 

"Hey Ro. Come in'' 

I sighed in relief. I couldn't face Dean right now.

''Hey baby girl'' Roman smiled as he stood at the end of the bed.

''Hey'' I replied, sitting up

''What's up?'' Seth asked as he laid back down beside me

''I wanted to ask you both something'' Roman replied

''Go ahead'' I said, sensing it had something to do with what happened at his house

''Well, it's no secret that Dean's been acting pretty crazy lately'' He said as he looked at me. ''But I can't help but feel like I'm out of the loop. Has something happened between the two of you or has he just suddenly developed an obsession with you? Because I've known Dean for a long time and I've never seen him like this before.''

"Like what?" I asked.

"He gets angry at the mere mention of your name" Roman answered, "and he hit something last time I said you and Seth's name in the same sentence." 

I knew it was time to come clean. Roman was the only one who didn't know the whole truth, and it wasn't fair to keep it from him any longer.

I told Roman everything, and he took a moment to take it all in.

"Well, Seth and I have been hooking up" I admitted 

"Oh, I suspected something was going on when the two of you started rooming separately to Dean and I, but I don't think that's it" Roman replied 

"Do you want me to tell him?" Seth offered.

I shook my head "No. I'll do it"

I told Roman everything, and he took a moment to take it all in.

"You need to tell Dean about the baby'' Roman eventually said

''Yes, I know'' I mumbled

Just then, the door flew open and Dean made his way into the room, slamming the door behind him
