Your POV:
Henry and I were trying to dry our tears and hide the pregnancy test in case anyone went into our room. I wrapped it in a plastic bag, and shoved it in my bag. We had to tell the guys about it one way or another, but I think we should wait until we're back in Derry. Henry and I walk out of our room, and we leave with the guys.
***time skip***
We just landed back in Derry, and we're headed home. The guys are spending a few more nights at our place, so maybe Henry and I could tell them sometime before they leave. He and I have been so stressed since we found out I was pregnant. If only we'd been more careful. I decided to take a shower, and change into something comfortable to try and make myself less stressed about the baby.

I walked down stairs, but right when I got to the bottom my stomach turned. Fuck! Morning sickness! I rushed to the bathroom, and threw up everything that was in my system. Henry rushed in, sat next to me, and rubbed my back. His warm touch was comforting, and I leaned back resting my body on his.
Belch ran to see what had happened. He saw me sick in Henry's arms and said,"(Y/N), you need to go to the doctor. You've been getting sick a lot recently, and I'm worried. I made you an appointment with Dr.Tozier at 2."
"Thanks, Belch, but I think it's just a stomach bug, I'll be fine," I said weakily.
"You're going, and so is everyone else. We're taking you to the doctor, and we won't leave your side until you're better." Belch seriously was the dad of the group. He didn't care what it took as long as I was better. I nodded, and he left.
"Well, guess they've gotta find out eventually," Henry said kissing my head as I lay in his arms. He scooped me off the floor, and carried me to the couch.
"Hey, Vic and I'll be right back," Belch said grabbing his keys and leaving. We all waved as he and Belch pulled out of the driveway.
Patrick sat beside me and Henry. He looked at us dead in the face and said,"You're pregnant, aren't you?"
My and Henry's faces both went pale.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"The morning sickness, the sex, it all added up to me, but when Belch and Victor find out, I don't think they'll be as nice to you," Patrick said with a faint smile,"You guys are my family, and I'll fight for you, alright?"
Henry and I nodded, and turned on the TV.
A few hours later, and it's time to go to the doctor. I'm so nervous. I changed, and we left.

We walked in, and sat down. Belch held my right hand as Henry held my left. Victor insisted I sit on his lap, so I did. I looked like the queen bee with my worker bees surrounding me.
"Miss Huggins?" a tall, thin man with curly black hair and dark eyes walks out with a clipboard and a stethoscope.
Me, Belch, and Henry got up and walked back. I was sitting on the table while Dr.Tozier examined my data.
"So, Miss Huggins, what seems to bring you to me this afternoon?" he asked putting a rubber glove on his hand.
"Well," I started,"I've been throwing up a lot in the mornings, and my brother and boyfriend are worried."
"Have you been sexually active?" he asked looking at me and Henry.
"Yes, we have," Henry said walking up beside me holding my hand.
"When was your last period?" Dr.Tozier was pulling out all the stops.
"About a month ago. It should've been here by now, but it's not," I said nervously.
"Alrighty then, we're gonna have to do a couple of tests, so you two young men are going to have to go to our waiting area," he said pointing to the door. Henry and Belch walked out of the room silently.
They did the tests, and it turns out I am 100% pregnant. Dr.Tozier walked to the waiting room, and called all four guys in to where I was.
"Boys, I've got some big news for ya," he started,"This young lady is pregnant!"
The guys gasped. I started to well up in tears as I saw Belch' a reaction.
"Are you sure? There must be some mistake," Belch said.
"Nope, she's pregnant. Now, we have some options if ya wanna he-" Dr.Tozier started but I cut him off.
"I'm keeping it. I can't bring myself to have an abortion." I began to cry, and Henry held me.
"If you ever change your mind, gimme a call,"Dr.Tozier said as we walked out. The car ride home was quiet. We walked into the house, and we all sat in the living room.
"Guys, I'm sor-" I began but was interrupted by Belch.
"YOU'RE SORRY?! IS THAT IT?! (Y/N), THERE IS A HUMAN BEING GROWING INSIDE OF YOU RIGHT NOW! I CAN'T AFFORD THE TWO OF US AND A FUCKING BABY! DO YOU KNOW HOW IRRESPONSIBLE YOU ARE?! YOU AND HENRY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! I...I...FUCK! I CAN'T EVEN TALK!" Belch blew up. He couldn't see straight. I began crying in Henry's arms.
"REGINALD! YOU'RE MY BROTHER! I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU, AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME RIGHT NOW IS TEARING ME APART! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING, AND I MADE A MISTAKE! A HUGE ASS FUCKING MISTAKE THAT I'M WILLING TO TAKE AS A GIFT! HENRY WILL BE LIVING WITH US, TAKING CARE OF THE CHILD, AND HE WILL HAVE A JOB! HE AND I ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS IS BOSTON WHEN WE FOUND OUT!"I should've never said that last part.
"YOU ALREADY KNEW?!" Belch's face got red. I could see veins popping out of his forehead from how mad he was. "HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME, (Y/N)?! AND HENRY?! WHY BOWERS?! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU?!"
"LISTEN, BELCH, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! NON OF US ARE READY TO TAKE CARE OF A CHILD, BUT GUESS WHAT?! WE ARE! IF (Y/N) DOESN'T WANNA GET RID OF IT, AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, I WANT IT TOO, BUT IF SHE WANTS IT, SHE'S KEEPING IT!" Henry got mad and told Belch everything. How much he cared, how much he's longed for a family, how sorry he was that it was so soon.
"This is what we're gonna do, Bowers,"Belch said,"We're gonna go to your house, you're gonna get your stuff, and you're gonna live with us. We're gonna tell your old man, and you and (Y/N) are gonna raise your child. You're gonna get a job, you're gonna be loyal to my sister and this family, and you're gonna stay in our family until you are dead, so do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Belch, I heard you loud and clear," Henry said. Everyone was calm.
We went to Henry's house and rang the doorbell.
Butch came to the door,"What a surprise."
"Dad, we gotta talk to ya,"Henry said sternly.
We walked in and sat on the couch.
"What's up, kid?" he directed the question at me.
"I'm pregnant," I said matter of factly.
"Oh, congrats! who's the father?" he asked. 'did he seriously just ask that?' I thought to myself.
"I am," Henry said annoyed.
"Well I'll be damned,"Butch started,"I'm gonna be a grandpa!"
Henry and I were confused.
"So, you're not mad?" Henry asked.
"Hell no, I'm not mad! I'm excited!"Butch looked happy for once in his life."Listen, I know y'all probably hate me and all, but I wanna give ya somethin',"he said reaching into his pocket."Here's some money to getcha started. Henry, you better getta job to support this child because I'm not gonna have enough money to pay for everything."
"Yeah, of course. I've already applied for a few jobs, and I'm waiting to hear back,"Henry said confidently.
"I'm proud of ya, son. Get your stuff outta my house, and go live with your family. I would like at least to visit my grandchild too,"Butch said kindly.
"Don't worry, sir. You're welcome over anytime,"I said warmly hugging him. We gathered Henry's things, and moved him into my house. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I thought.
