Chapter 52

"I have to go Ashton." I said. I felt really bad for leaving Ashton but Danielle's emergency sounded really bad.

"Something wrong?" He questioned. "No, I hope not. But it was really nice seeing you again." I hugged him.

"Yeah, you too." He smiled sheepishly as we pulled away and I returned the smile. "This is the second time your phone has interrupted us." He jokes and I laugh. I walked back to the counter and grabbed my purse and jacket.

"Bethany, I have to leave!" I yelled and she appeared from behind some shelves.

"Anything wrong?" She asked worried. I shook my head and said a goodbye before walking out the door and heading home to get my car.

When I had finally parked my car and made my way up to Liam's house, my stomach twisted. What was so bad that she couldn't tell Liam about it but me? I knocked softly on the door and after a few seconds the door flew open, revealing a stressed Danielle. She was wearing a pair of light grey sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. I had ever seen her like this. Danielle didn't say anything she just pulled me inside.

"Whoa! What's happening?!" I asked shocked. She was panting and clearly stressed. Her curly hair that was usually hanging down, was set up in a messy bun. I was really starting to get worried. I glanced over the kitchen and found an empty Ben and Jerry's cup on the counter.

"Wait, I think I know what's happening..." I said and turned around to look at Danielle. She was waiting for my suggestion and she grew more anxious by the second for my answer.

"You're on your period and you're out of tampons. And you thought it would be embarrassing to ask Liam so you called me?" I guessed and she face palmed. Okay, I guess it wasn't that.

"You're not even near." She shook her head. "Well, then I have no idea..." I trailed off and sat down in the living room on one of the couches. She followed me and she still had that "Crazy" kind of look on her face.

"I'm listening." I said and crossed my legs. She inhaled sharply then exhaled. She was about to open her mouth but instead she turned around and walked to the bathroom. I just sat there and waited for her to return. When she finally did she was holding a box and then she tossed it over to me. It fell onto my lap and I watched her as she crossed her arms. When my eyes fell on the empty box in my lap, they grew. I couldn't speak. I was totally out of words.

"Say something."Danielle begged and I finally looked up at her she was near crying.

"Are you?" I asked and looked down at the empty pregnancy box in my lap.

"I think so." she whispered and I felt the couch dipping next to me. I was in shock again.

"Why did you suspect it?" I was curious. She may or be not pregnant with my nephew or niece.

"My period was late so I just bought the pregnancy test just to be sure. Then when the result came I didn't know what to do and the first one I thought of calling was you. Oh hell, Liam is going to kill me." She started sobbing and I pulled her in for a hug. I hushed her quietly in her ear, trying to calm her down.

"No, he's not. He has always wanted this. Especially with you." I told her while gently stroking her hair.

"Can I see it?" I asked and she nodded. We raised ourselves from the couch and I followed her into the bathroom. She pointed to the test that laid by the sink. I looked at it and my heart stopped for a minute. She was definitely pregnant. I nodded and she sobbed even more. Her cries was painful to hear and I was near crying to. She and Liam were both so young, yet older than me. They were both 25 and I knew that they were going to be great parents no matter what.

Danielle had calmed down after a few minutes. We were still sitting in the bathroom, but now on the tiles. Suddenly we heard a big thud and I furrowed my eyes. It wasn't before Liam's voice filled the house that my throat went dry.

"Danielle, I'm home!"

And then I saw Danielle's big brown eyes had widened and so had mine.
