"I'm pregnant."

His face drops. And so does my heart.

Couldn't have picked a better time, Delilah.

"Are you sure...?"

"Yes. I took two tests today."

"So that's why Jenna was..."

"Yes."

Suddenly, he pulls me back into a hug. To my confusion. I didn't expect him to blow up or anything, he's not like that.

"For some reason, I knew you were going to tell me that." He says. I could tell that he knew when he gave me that look back at the dinner table. He always knows everything.

"You're not mad?"

"I'm not mad. Disappointed, a little bit. In myself. But it takes two, ya know? How could I be mad?"

I let out a sigh of relief.

"We'll figure things out, I promise. Everything will be fine." He pulls back onto the road and rests a hand on mine as we drive back home.

The next night, after the concert

"Ahhh! I can't believe you told him already!" Jenna yells, echoing through the backstage bathroom of the venue.

"Shh! We don't want anyone else to know right now, do we?! And PLEASE, do NOT tell Tyler. Not yet."

"Are you sure? You know he'll wonder why he's the last to find out."

"He won't be. It's just you and Josh right now. I'm going to tell him next, I promise, I just don't want to right now."

"So when we're all on the other side of the country and you don't have to deal with him getting ill again, right?"

"Exactly." I joke.

Jenna starts prancing around me in circles singing, "I'm gonna be an auntie, I'm gonna be an auntie~"

We both head back out to the arena, getting ready to head home for the night. I've decided to tag along to the next show, which is out of state. Then I'm coming right back home.

Jenna sneaks up behind Tyler, scaring him half to death.

"Why'd you do that?" He picks her up and swings her around, playfully.

I start to feel a little sick, so I stray off on my own and my phone starts going off.

@ Alesana on Twitter: Columbus! We're coming for you October 4th, tickets at the door only! Click link for details.

EXCUSE ME? Hell to the no. Why are my Twitter notifications turned on anyway?

@ShawntheMilke sent you a message

Am I hallucinating right now? What kind of shit is this?

Nope. Not opening it. I'm 60% sure he's going to ask me to go. And that's a no from me.

On the bus

I just stepped onto the tour bus with Jenna, and Tyler and Josh are already here. And Tyler has a familiar look on his face.

Colorless, about to vomit...kinda how I feel right now.

Then he looks at me.

"When were you gonna tell me?"

Oh, shit.

I instantly look at Josh, who's in a panic.

"He guessed!" His hands go up in defense.

"Did you know, too?" Tyler looks at Jenna, who looks just as guilty as me right now. "Were you all just gonna keep this a secret from me?"

"Tyler, you can't-" I start. He can't blame us. I witnessed how he handled a pregnancy scare with Jenna. First hand.

"Hey, Mark? We're cancelling this. Tour is cancelled. Everyone is going home. My best friend is with child."

His voice is so serious, but I can tell he's joking. He charges at me and throws me into a huge hug.

"Do not. Scare me like that again. Or this friendship is over." I mutter. Still a joke.

"Don't hide babies from me anymore, or this friendship is over."

"So you're not gonna puke?" I ask. He looks back at Josh, and shrugs his shoulders.

"Not my problem."

Right, now it's my problem. I'm gonna probably be going through this on my own.

I say probably because I just told Josh last night, and we still haven't really discussed anything about it. I haven't even scheduled a doctor's appointment yet.
Or told my family. Or my boss.

I feel something start to come up my throat, and run off the bus, to the field next to where it's parked.

Splat.
