Part IV

Clara's POV

This is perfect. Derek's little fuck buddy is pregnant. This means I can get leverage on the little bitch and I can finally focus on Derek without her being around. I mean, the sex is great but Nate just lacks certain things that Derek has. I love Nate, but I love Derek too.

I got in my car and drove to the drug store. When I walked in, I grabbed the box with four tests and checked out. I got to Diana's apartment and knocked on the door.

She opened the door, surprised to see me. She looked horrible and tired.

"Derek told me you were throwing up this morning and felt just really out of it. He also mentioned that you guys had sex last night so I got some tests just in case-" 

She chuckled, cutting me off. "I don't think I'm pregnant. It's probably just from the drinking last night."

"I told Derek that I would check on you and have you take a test. Please just take this tests real quick and we'll see, okay?"

She walked into the bathroom. "Um," she started. "I've never taken these before. Do you mind-"

"Yeah of course." I said walking in the bathroom with her. I grabbed one of the tests and took off the packaging. "So you try and pee on this part right here. They take up to seven to ten minutes to show up."

After washing her hands, Di walked into the kitchen and starting making coffee. "Would you like any?" she asked, reaching into the cabinet for mugs. 

"Sure, thank you."

After ten long minutes, Diana went into the bathroom and checked for two lines on the test.

"What does it say?" I asked curiously. 

"I-I'm pregnant" She said crying.

"Oh my god," I hugged her again, trying to calm her down. "Are you going to be okay?"

She shook her head and cried even harder. "I'm not ready. I don't know what to do. I just don't understand."

I looked at Diana in the eyes and put my hands on her shoulders. "What part don't you understand sweetie?"

"Clara," she paused, taking in a breath. "Clara, I can't have kids. I don't understand how this happened."

My jaw dropped immediately. "Have you told-"

"No," Diana said. "I always told him that I was on birth control. Clara this wasn't supposed to happen!" She cried even harder. 

"I don't understand either. Come on, get up," I stood Diana up and wiped her tears. "Let's get you out of these clothes and take a shower to clear your mind, okay? Does that sound alright?"

She nodded and I walked out of the bathroom. "If you need anything, just call me okay?"

"Actually, um," Diana started. "Do you mind staying here for a little bit?"

"I'm sorry babe, but I got to get Nate soon." 

"Oh okay. Wait Clara, can we not tell Derek about this? I just need some time to-"

"Yes, of course! You can trust me, Di. You sure you're alright?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'll just take your advice and jump in the shower."

"Call me later?"

"I will. Thank you Clara."

I smiled and exited the apartment.

Derek's POV

Nate looked over to me. "You okay, man?" 

"Not really. Fuck Nate, what if Di is pregnant? She says she's on the pill."

"Don't know man. Look we can call it a day if you want. You go home and check on Diana. We can all go out somewhere tonight if you want."

"Sounds good. Thanks man."
