Unexpected (David and Liza fan fiction) COMPLETED

Chapter eight

Corinna picked up the test, and stared at the plus sign. She was pregnant.

"Corinna," Liza said. "Don't freak out. It's okay."

"How the hell is this okay, Liza?!" Corinna yelled. "I'm pregnant with Dom's baby!" Corinna started to get a panic attack.

"Corinna, take deep breathes-"

"What am I going to go? I can't have a baby! Liza, I can't! I can't!"

Liza held Corinna, then called David.

She's pregnant.

Liza went back to David's house to give Corinna some time to think.

Liza knocked on the door. David was still in his wheelchair, so it took him a little longer than usual to open the door.

"Hey-" Liza said.

"Hey babe," David said. "How's Corinna?"

While Liza walked over to the living room, she said, "she's not doing great. Think if that had happened to us. It would be horrible."

"Actually, I was thinking about it while you were over there. I don't even know what we would do. What do you think they will do?"

"I have no idea. I think that they both need to get a grasp on the fact that Corinna is pregnant before anything."

"Has she told anyone else?"

"No. Just you and me."

"She will figure it out. Dom will help her too if she decides to tell him."

"She has to tell him! If she didn't, he would never know. She would have to figure everything out on her own."

"Yeah. Anyone put in that situation would need help."

"We won't let that happen to us, David."

"It won't. I promise." David kissed her forehead, and cuddled with her on the couch.

Corinna sat on the coffee table in her apartment, staring blankly into the white, plastic pregnancy test that had just decided her future. All of her makeup had been cried off. She didn't know what to do. She had to tell Dom, but he was the least qualified person to be a dad.

Corinna picked up the phone and called Dom.

~

Liza and David had fallen asleep on the couch. Around 4:30 am, Liza woke up. Nothing in particular had woken her up, just the fact that one of her best friends is pregnant. She went into David's room to change her clothes. She had been wearing the clothes that she had worn during the day, so she put on some sweats and a "clickbait" hoodie.

When Liza got back into the living room, Liza woke up David with a kiss on his cheek.

"What the hell," he mumbled under his breath. "What time is it?"

Liza chuckled, "4:34 am."

"What happened?"

"We fell asleep on the couch. You should probably change, love."

David sat up, kissed Liza, then went into his room to get changed.

Liza grabbed her phone off of the floor and noticed missed calls from Corinna.

~

Corinna?!

Dom-

Corinna?! Why the hell haven't you been talking to me? Why the hell did you decide to call me now?

Dom-

Corinna, are you alright?

Dom- I'm sorry for not getting back to you. There is just a lot on my mind.

Oh. There's a lot on my mind too. I'm sorry for the other night. Neither of us were thinking. I'm sorry if I hurt you.

You didn't. I'm sorry for waking you, Dom. Goodnight.

Goodnight. I'll call you later?

Yeah.

~

Liza called Corinna. She answered really fast.

Liza?

Corinna? I'm sorry for not answering your calls-

It's fine. I haven't been sleeping Liza. I can't stop thinking.

I'm sorry, Corinna.

I called Dom.

What?! Did you tell him?

No. I was going to, but I got too scared. Instead I just apologized for not talking to him and being distant.

Oh. Well at least you talked to him.

Yeah. Well, I'll call you in the morning. Goodnight Liza.

Goodnight Corinna.

~

When David came out of his room with sweats and a black shirt on, Liza sat on his lap.

"I just called Corinna," Liza said.

"What did you say?" David asked while wrapping strands of her hair around his pointer finger.

"She had been trying to call me, but I was asleep. She said that she called Dom."

"Did she tell him?"

"Not yet."

"I don't even know what he's going to do when he finds out."

"Yeah. Let's go sleep. My eyelids weigh 30 pounds."

David went back into the bedroom with Liza on his lap. They kissed, said goodnight, then went to bed.

The next morning, Corinna woke up with a pounding headache. She took an Advil, then felt nauseous. Corinna laid down on the couch, trying not to focus on the knots in her head and stomach.

Corinna picked up the phone. She hesitated, then put it back down. She couldn't tell Dom yet. Instead, she sent him a text to see if he wanted to come over. He said yes, then said that he was on his way.

Corinna threw up a few times before Dom arrived. She didn't know what was wrong, but she wasn't supposed to feel like this right after finding out she was pregnant

She heard a knock on the door. It was painful when she walked, but she acted through the pain.

Dom greeted Corinna with a hug.

"Hey," Corinna said.

"Hey," Dom said, sitting down on the couch. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I mean- no nothing is wrong."

"It just seemed like-"

"Dom, we had sex."

"I know, and it was a mistake. I'm sorry Corinna."

"Dom, it was a mistake. It never should have happened."

"Is that why you haven't been answering my calls or talking to me?"

"I guess."

Dom chucked. "Corinna, it was just sex. Drunk sex. Yeah, it was a mistake, but that's all it was."

Corinna looked down at her rug.

"What's wrong," Dom said, putting his hand on her knee.

"Dom, it wasn't just sex."

"What do you mean?"

"Dom, I'm pregnant."
