I put on my Ricky Nelson record as I waited for Pete smoking a cigarette. Seeing my family today had made me terrified. Good bye to asking for support. I still couldn't get over the fact that this baby can be anyone's father. Pete's or Paul's baby is growing in me, and I didn't know who the baby belongs to. I needed to check my banking account to see if I even had enough money to raise a child. I needed a job quick, but if the employer found out I was pregnant then that's good bye to the job. Also, not to mention how people treat women these days.

"Baby?" I didn't even realize that someone had entered my flat. Pete stood just behind the couch with a new hat. It was like a Frank Sinatra hat.

"Oh, Pete!" I giggled and gave him a big hug.

"Miss me?" He teased. He kept his arms around my waist. My hands holding onto his arms.

"Of course." I gave him a quick kiss. I really did miss him. "I love your hat." I took it off his head and put it on my own. He chuckled.

"It looks good on you."

"You're just saying that," I giggled and gave him another kiss. I was interrupted by my thoughts. "Hey, honey, I have something to tell you."

"Yeah?" Pete pulled me in closer. I started to tear up once more.

"Pete..." I sighed. "I'm pregnant." I whispered. Pete was stunned. He leaned back a bit and his jaw dropped. But, then he grinned.

"That means..." Pete raised his eyebrows. I nodded and he hugged me tightly. "I can't believe we're going to have a baby!"

I just nodded and tried to smile as big as I can. Pete was dubious. He didn't know that o had sex with Paul after having sex with him. Only by two days, but that doesn't matter.

"How long do you think you've been pregnant?" Pete put his hands behind his head as he laid on my bed. I laid next to him, putting my head on his chest. I missed Paul. If I was with him right now he'd be treating me like a baby. If I laid my head on my chest he would immediately start playing with me hair.

"Since the last time we've had sex," I shrugged. Pete stayed silent. "I went to my parents' today."

"Oh, and how'd that go?" Pete asked.

"Horrible. I told them... dad called me devilish and sinful." I got up from Pete's chest and just laid next to him. He looked over at me. "I don't know how I'm going to do this." I started to cry. I sat up and wiped the tears under my eyes. Pete sat up too.

"We'll do it together," Pete took my hands and squeezed them. "It's our baby after all. I wouldn't make you do it all alone."

I started to cry even more. Only because Pete didn't know. And if he found out then I'd be fucked. "Thank you."

Pete brought me into a hug.

"We'll be alright, don't worry." But the problem was that we won't be alright and I needed to worry, because the truth is going to come out sooner or later and I'll be all alone.
