Corbyn's pov

"Where's Max?" Jonah asks as I sit next to him on the couch.

"She went upstairs to sleep. She didn't get at last night."

"So you just found her down here last night?" He questions. The boys aren't really paying attention. Spongebob tends to capture children's attention I guess.

"She said she didn't want to sleep when she got in." He side and took a sip of coffee.

"She really needs to sleep more. It's not healthy." He says. I frown but don't respond. Instead, I continue eating my cereal.

When I finish eating, I start to get bored. I stand up and pick up everyone's bowl and spoons and what not. Once I place the dishes in the sink, I hear a noise. The noise is like a deep groan but it's very faint. It's probably coming from upstairs. But no one's-

My eyes widen and I run out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

"Corbyn?" Someone says from the couch. I ignore them and run to Jack, Daniel, and Max's room. I hear the noise much louder coming from the bathroom and burst through the door.

I rush over to Max and hold up her hair as she throws up into the toilet.

She jumps for a second when she feels my hand on her back but doesn't have much time to react before the next round.

I rub her back and hold her long hair into a make-shift ponytail. After a few more minutes, she stops vomiting but I hear her breathing heavily.

I reach for a hair tie off the counter and pull her hair into it. I then stand up and grab a wash cloth from under the cabinet. I pour some tap water onto and turn to her as she sits on her knees.

"Here." I say gently and wipe her mouth off. I get a plastic cup for gargling from under the sink and pour some water into it. "Drink some water, throwing up makes you dehydrated." I kneel down next to her and help her sip some water. I flush the toilet and sit back down.

"Corbyn, what-" Jack knocks on the door and sees us sitting on the floor.

"Guys, I'm alright. Thank you for checking on me." Max says meekly, putting her head down. I look at Jack and he looks really concerned.

"Max, we need to take you to the doctor." I say, focusing my attention on her again. Jack walked over to us and kneels down next to the two of us.

"No, there's no need. I just need to brush my teeth, get some sleep, and I'll be fine." She stands up and so do we.

"Okay, we'll let you brush your teeth." Jack says abruptly, pulling me out. I furrow my eyebrows as he closes the bathroom door behind us.

"You're just going to let her-"

"She's pregnant." My eyes widen when he cuts me off. I'm dumbfounded. I mean, how do you respond to that?

"What!?" My voice cracks because of how high-pitched that was but Jack's so serious, I don't think he even noticed.

"What if she did... stuff while she was gone?" The thought dawns on me and I stay quiet. "This could be her morning sickness." I look away from Jack and run a hand through my hair just before Max walks out of the bathroom.

"See? All better." She puts on a small smile but I can't help but think it's fake. I frown but Jack puts on an equally fake smile.

"I'm glad. We'll leave you to sleep." He starts walking out and I try a small smile as well before leaving behind him.

"What!?" The guys yell in disbelief together. As soon as Jack and I walked into the living room, we decided to tell them.

"Well, we're not 100% sure but we think that's why she threw up, it's probably morning sickness." Jack explained. I stay quiet, still not being able to process all of this.

"Well, we have to support her." Jonah says almost immediately. Everyone nods their heads.

"Why wouldn't we?" Daniel says. (Haha why don't we support her... I'm so sorry😬)

"Ooo!" Zach says excitedly. "We should throw her a baby shower!" He suggests.

"That's usually later in the pregnancy." Everyone looks at Jack with confused faces. "I had to go to baby shower for both of my younger sisters. I remember my mom having a big 'ole tummy at the time." He points out.

"Okaaay... what about a 'we know you're pregnant and we're totally supportive' kind of party?" I suggest, finally joining the conversation. Daniel smiles as Jonah roles his eyes.

"We'll work on the name but sure." Jonah says and stands from the couch.

"Let's go!" Zach says, jumping up. The guys stand up and start for the door.

"We're all still in our pajamas." I point out.

"PJ shopping!" Jack yells and him and Zach start jumping like little kids.

"I'm gonna stay here Incase Max needs anything." I say. I'm still really worried about her. She may be a single mother, but at least she has the five of us...

The five of us doofs. That poor girl as to raise a child with the help of five teenage boys and that thought makes me so nervous.

"Okay, help us set up when we get back." Info and they close the door behind them. I sigh and look to the stairs. The house is, for once, silent.
