Devin Hulls: Thursday 25th July:

I jogged down the staircase with a smile as April walked through the front door.

"Sup babe," I said, walking up to her and kissing her.

"Hey boo," She said with a half-hearted smile. I frowned a little and glanced down at the CVS bag she had in her hands.

"Where'd you disappear off to this morning?" I asked, she took my hand and pulled me into the main room.

"Oh, by the way, Miley left this morning, said she was going to stay with her mom." I noted and she nodded.

"I know, we spoke about it whilst you were asleep." She said, pushing me down onto the couch as she sat close next to me.

"You kicked her out?" I asked in a skeptical tone.

"No, I wouldn't do that to a pregnant woman. She was just talking about how she doesn't want to lose her friendship with me over a mistake she made with Adrian, x, y and z." She said and I nodded.

"But anyways, we need to talk about something more important..." She said, adjusting the plastic bag on her lap and switching off the TV.

"Aight, so wassup?" I asked, clearing my throat.

"So, erm... I'm just going to come out with it... I think that I might be pregnant because I've missed this months period and I think I'm starting to show symptoms but I might just be a little paranoid, but I went to the store anyways and bought a pregnancy test... Well, I bought three different brands actually just to be sure, and I--"

"Babe, slow down a little..." I chuckled, putting my arms around her as her ranting came to a halt.
I could tell that she was nervous, even though she never really showed that kind of emotion.

"I wanted you to be around when I took the tests..." She said in a slower tone and I nodded.

"Then let's do it now. I mean, your dad and I had a talk before and he basically opened my eyes to the fact that you could be pregnant. I did some thinking about it, and I honestly think that we're ready for this." I said and she nodded slowly.

She swallowed a little before standing up and exhaling before heading to the bathroom.

I sat in silence waiting for her. 1 minute passed and I began to whistle lightly.

2 minutes passed and I was tapping my foot a little.

3 minutes passed and I was nodding my head to my own tune.

10 minutes passed and I'd grown tired of my own music. She should've been done by now so I got up and walked to the bathroom, knocking lightly on the door.

"Babe, you okay in there?" I asked.
There was silence so I pushed the door open and she was leant on the marble counter, staring at the three pregnancy sticks.

I walked over to her, she hadn't even blinked. I picked up one of the sticks and a smile played on my lips.
