My Favorite Mistake (1D / H.S./ Harry Styles)- REVISING

Chapter 49

I double check the box...PREGNANT?! My jaw hits the floor. There's no way! I haven't felt sick one bit.

I make my way back to work and try to focus on my job still in complete shock. That test has got to be faulty. I'll get another one on the way home tonight. There's no fucking way I'm pregnant.

The rest of the afternoon is a blur. I pretty much just went through the motions for the remainder of my day. I cannot wait to get out of here and get another test.

When the clock finally hit 5:00, I am gone, bought a test, and am home. I followed the directions on the box to the letter. After waiting what seemed like an eternity, I look at the test...positive.

Okay. I knew being on the pill wasn't 100% safe but what were the odds of being in that 2% - 3% of not being protected? Uhm...pretty damn good if you're me, apparently!

Shit! What am I going to tell Niall? I mean, I know WHAT I'm going to tell him but how do you bring something like this up? I don't want to do it over video chatting and definitely not over the phone or texting. I can't just casually bring it up at dinner or after we have sex. Ugh! This is not going to be easy. I just have to act "normal" the next couple days when we chat until he gets out here.

I look at my phone. We'll be chatting in about an hour. I better pull my shit together and figure out what the hell "normal" is because I've got to start acting like it.

Lisa comes home while I'm making myself a quick dinner. She asks if something is wrong. I'd love to tell her but I need to tell Niall first. That wouldn't be right...but this little secret is eating at me from the inside out. I just let her know that I'm exhausted from a crazy, busy day at work. I think that'll be the card I play tonight with Niall, too. That way, he can talk about what's going on in his end of the world and I can just listen.

I do just that and it works exactly as planned. He rambles and jokes around about what's going on with him. I really want to tell him and get it of of the way but I know now isn't the time.

After about ninety minutes, we decide to call it a night. Whew! I dodged that bullet tonight. If I can just hold on just one more day, then the pressure is on about when is a good time to tell him this weekend.

I walk out to see Lisa. I need to talk to someone. Plus, if she could stay scarce this weekend just in case Niall freaks out, it would probably be best. Luckily, she's home alone but is getting ready to head over to Ashton's after dinner.

"Hey! Got a minute?" I ask her.

"Yea. What's up?"

"I think we need to sit." I warn her.

"Everything okay?" She asks as she takes a seat at the dining room table looking worried.

"Well...kinda...sorta...I'm not sure."

"Sam, seriously! What's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant." I'm not good at sugar coating or beating around the bush.

She hastily slaps her hand over her gaping mouth. "Are you kidding me right now?"

"I'm being completely serious."

"How far along?"

"Not far. I've just skipped my first period. I'm telling Niall this weekend."

Again, she her jaw drops to the floor. "You haven't told him yet?"

"Not yet. I was waiting to tell him in person. You are the only person who knows."

"I can understand that. Do want me here or at Ashton's all weekend?"
