Ben POV:
"Um Ben, I think we have a problem." Eliza said running out of her room.
"We didn't lose Carrie, she's playing at Sarah's house today." I said.
"No, I know where Carrie is. This isn't about Carrie." she said.
"Then what's wrong?" I asked.
"Remember how 2 weeks ago when Tuck closed I stayed at Joeys house because I didn't want to come home and wake you guys up?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well, I didn't get my period." she said.
"What does that have to do with-" I started but then it clicked in my head. "You didn't....?"
"I did." She said looking down.
"And you think..." I said.
"Yeah." She said.
"Um uh ok....well....I have no idea." I said. "Did you um take a pregnancy test?" I asked.
"No, I'm too embarrassed to go in and buy one." She said. "You're the only one I want to tell about this, I'm honestly so ashamed about this. I don't even know how it happened we were just watching a movie and then-"
"I don't need the details." I said.
"Yeah that's probably for the better." She Saudi her face red. I'm about to do something I will probably regret. "I'll go get you a test." I said.
"Wait seriously?" She said in shock.
"Yeah, why not." I smiled.
"You are literally the best." She smiled grabbing me in a hug.
"Next time, use protection." I laughed. I waked down the street to the drug store and went to the women's area. I have no fucking idea what I'm supposed to buy.
"Ben?" I heard a voice ask. I turned my head to see Chloe walking towards me with the most confused face. "What did you knock a girl up?" She laughed.
"No, I'm not seeing anyone right now." I laughed. "My friend made a mistake and didn't want to come to get a test. But I have no fucking idea what to buy."
"That's sweet of you to get a test for her. Here." She said grabbing a box off of the shelf and handing it to me. "This is what I used when I was pregnant with Allyson. It's very accurate." She said. I looked at the box with my eyes wide.
"Why don't I buy it for you." She laughed taking it back.
"No I'm fine. I can do it. It's just crazy to think she could be pregnant." I said.
"She's probably freaking out about it, the best thing you can do is help her through it. I know that there's a million thoughts rushing through her head right now, and a big one is fear. Fear that she can't raise this baby, fear that you will leave her, fear that she will have to do it all on her own....." She said drifting off. "Just help her."
"Maybe you could talk to her? I've never had to deal with this kind of thing." I said.
"Sure. Text me her results and if it's positive then I will come help her." She said.
"Thanks Chloe." I smiled.
"Anytime." She smiled. I checked out and headed back to the apartment where Eliza was sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Here you go." I said handing her the box.
"Ben you are literally a life saver." She said grabbing me in a hug.
"Remember my friend Chloe?" I asked.
"Yeah, the girl you never shut up about because you are major crushing on her." Eliza smirked.
"I am not!" I said blushing.
"Yeah I totally believe you." She laughed rolling her eyes.
"Ok well she has a daughter named Allyson and I ran into her at the store and she said she can help you if you need something." I said.
"Tell your girlfriend thanks." She said.
"SHES NOT MY GIRLFRIEND." I said as Eliza ran off to the bathroom to take her test.
"Guess who got a tattoo!" Carrie smiled walking into the apartment.
"WHAT!?!" I screamed. Eliza's pregnant, Carrie got a tattoo, what's going to happen next?
"Chill it's a temporary tattoo." Carrie laughed.
"Phew." I said relaxing.
"Why are you so on edge?" Carrie asked.
"Because, shits happening." I said.
"What kind of shit?" Carrie asked.
"Crazy shit." I laughed.
"Where's El?" Carrie asked
"In the bathroom, she will be out soon." I said. "So how was Sarah's?"
"I got a boyfriend." She said while searching the fridge for food.
"Ok so while at Sarah's you got a tattoo and a boyfriend? Remind me to never let you go there again." I laughed.
"Relax Ben, we aren't that serious yet. We just started dating." She said.
"Well remember, don't share your cookies with him right away." I said.
"Why would I share my cookies? If he wants cookies he can get his own." She said sitting next to me.
"Good girl." I laughed wrapping my arms around her.
"BADDA BING BADDA BOOM IM NOT PREGNANT." Eliza screamed running out of the bathroom holding her pregnancy test.
"Wait what?" Carrie asked confused.
"Look at it!" She said handing it to me.
"You know she peed on that right?" Carrie smirked.
"Oh hell no." I said dropping the test.
"THERES NOT A SMALL DEMON CREATURE INSIDE OF ME!" She smiled jumping around the room.
"Please never make me go through that again." I laughed.
"Use a condom." Carrie said.
"Shut up your 10." Eliza laughed. "Thank you so much for helping me through this Ben." She said grabbing me in a hug. "What would I do without you?" She smiled and ran off to her room. I pulled out my phone and texted Chloe
Me: False alarm on the pregnancy, thank you for your help though
Chloe: anytime :)
Me: wanna go grab some dinner tonight?
Chloe: I would but I don't have a sitter for Allyson
Me: I know somebody who owes me BIG TIME who can do it
Chloe: then it's a date ;) see you tonight
"EL, YOU'RE BABYSITTING TONIGHT." I screamed to her.
"Great." Carrie said.
"Hush." I laughed grabbing Carrie and pulling her on my lap as she laughed. This is happiness.
