I can't  believe it. How stupid could I have been? I am so stupid. I didn't think about it. Why? Was I that igmorant?

"Sweetie?" I hear Dan's voice. I quickly turn around and hide  the test behind me.
He frowns. "You okay? I need to use the bathroom,"
I quickly nod. "Yes yes, sorry," I put the test in my back pocket.
I walk to my room. I can't  tell anyone. Why did I say yes to Charlie and Dan to stay here for the weekend? I need to avoid them.
My phone rings and it makes me jump!
It is Luke.
I cant talk to him. Does he want  kids? Will he want the baby?
I see the screen turn off and then light up again. He left a voicemail. I get the phone and check the message.
"Hey you might be busy but I wanted to say that I am doing better. Henry is too. He misses you. Well I do too," he sounds so nervous  and cute. "I-I need you Rose. I cant wait to bend you over,"
Oh my gosh! I chuckle.
He continues, "but most importantly hold you all night. I will see you soon." The voicemail ends. I don't  know what to do!

Two weeks later

*****
"You are 7 week pregnant?!" Shayla yells.
I nod. I threw up twice at work today.  Shayla knew something was up. I needed to tell someone anyways.
"Why didnt you say anything?" She holds me hand. We are siting in the restroom at work.
"Look on how you reacted Shayla, imagine my mom and worse Luke, I don't know what  to do,"
"You need to tell him Rose. It takes two to make a baby,"
I sigh. "What if it is not his?"
Shayla slides a bit to the side. "What do you mean?"
"I had sex with Daniel,"
"No condom?"
I nod. "I thought because I was spotting I had my period but no. I am such an idiot. Why didn't I stop it?"
Shayla hugs me. "It is fine. You will be okay and a good mom."
"What if Luke hates me? Or the baby? What if Daniel is the father but won't want it?"
Shayla cups my face with her hands.  "First, have you seen a doctor?"
I nod.
"Okay, second, do you want to keep it?"
I look down. "I don't  know,"
She sighs and hugs me. "Okay, lastly, both of them need to know anyways, you need to suck it up Rose and be a woman."
I pull away. "I just don't want to fail my dad. He is dead but what if he is watching? What if having this baby will I just disappoint him or my mom?"
Shayla cleans my tears. "Maybe this is a blessing from him. Maybe not. All you need to do is live your life Rose. If you keep the baby, Aunt Shayla will be happy to take care of him or her plus taking care of you."
I smile. I am glad she is in my life. I never had a friend like her. "Thank you."
She stands and fixes her skirt. "Now lets get you some gum. Your mouth stinks girl."
She chuckles as she helps me stand. I roll my eyes. "Thank you for letting me know what I know Shayla."
We walk together back to work. Everyone asks if I need something. I smile and say nothing.

Luke's Point of View

"By the end of April you will be ready to go," dad smiles. He has been taking therapy too. I see him better.
"Yes, I will complete the program,"
He taps my knee. "And you can come back to work too. Daniel has his own company now and I don't want to distract him much,"
I nod. "That will be great dad."
"Hello!!" Nathan comes in yelling. I quickly get up and hug him. "My man! Oh man," he steps back. "You look way better Luke. Proud of you."
I chuckle. "Thanks. How have you been? Well I know you called me but-"
"I am going to marry her," he smiles.
Whoa. Nathan marrying?
My dad stands. "Whoa son, you marrying the redhead?"
Nathan has been dating a girl name Carrie. All I know is she has a beautiful pair of breasts and her hair is red and she loves to dance.
"Nathan, you sure? You haven't really mentioned alot of her," I ask. We all sit.
"I know  but that's because we decided not to get family or friends involved. I really do feel she is the one. Once you meet her, you will see what I do," Nathan says.
"I can't wait then, congrats," I pat his back.
"Son you need to ask Rosalie too," dad says.
I almost choke on my saliva. "Come on dad, we are barely going out,"
He shrugs. "So? You love her and she definitely loves you."
I turn to Nathan. "Is this man serious?"
"Hey, Rose is a nice catch,"
I shake my head no. "No way. Marriage is not for me and she really hasn't said anything about marriage."
"Really? No talk or comment?" Nathan asks. "Doesn't every relationship need to start with that question? And kids too?"
Dad nods in agreement."you should really talk about that."
"Okay we will but definitely no kids. I hate babies," I say.
"You don't?" A sweet voice suddenly enters the room. I quickly stand and Rosalie is here too. I smile. I jog towards her and hug her. "I am happy you could come. I have good news,"
She pulls away. Her eyes look sad. "What? You okay?"
She looks at my dad and Nathan.
"Um, we can come later," Nathan says.
I see my dad walk towards us and gets Rosalie's hand. He looks at her deeply. "Oh god. You are pregnant aren't you?" He asks.
Whoa
Whoa.
Whoa!
Rosalie blushes badly and she begins  to breathe quickly.
"Dad, what the hell? You don't-"
She nods. "I am."
My stomach gets punched. I can't breathe.
"Son?"
"But, how? Why?" Nathan asks.
Rose runs out. I want to chase her but my legs are stiff.
I see Nathan run after her.
"Luke, you need to talk to her,"
I look at my dad. "How did you know?"
He smiles. "It was the same expression your mother had when she told me she was pregnant with you. She was scared and Rose clearly is too."
I ask a nurse for permission to go outside to look for Rose.
I see Nathan hugging her in the parking lot.
"Let me take it from here," I say.
Rose jumps in his arms and he pulls away. Nathan nods and walks away.
Her eyes are so worried. "I-I am sorry.  I just know-I just know you need to know because I might not want to keep it. It is-is my body and so," she has the hiccups. I smile inside. She looks so cute.
"I am sorry too," I say. "I didn't think about you and I don't want to ruin your life."
She wipes her tears and fixes her jacket. "I know. I guess I know how you feel about it."
I step closer. "I-I am not ready.  I dont like kids but that won't mean that I will be an asshole to him or you."
"So you-you will just be sending child support? You don't want to-"
I grab her and hug her. "We will see if you want him. If you don't, that will be fine too."
She giggles and cries.  "You-you still li-like me?"
I smell her perfume.  "I am not gonna lie. I may not kids but a pregnant woman is hot. So yeah I still like you."
She pushes me away. "This is not gonna be  a happy ending. "
"What?"
"I had sex with Daniel too. I was hot and so we just did it and I don't know if you still want me."
I sigh. "So you fucked him the same week?"
She looks down. "I am sorry."
Shit. Great. She might be carrying his spawn. Another demon. Instead of my son he will be my nephew.
"I'm going.  I'll let you know by next week and a DNA test will be taken when the baby is bigger if I decide to keep it."
I just walk away. I am angry. How could she?
