"It's just really weird, you know? I wake up and feel sick and nauseous and then by the afternoon I feel completely fine. I haven't changed anything. At first, I thought it was just something I ate but no matter what I eat I always end up getting sick." I said as I stood in the laundry room folding clothes as I talked to my best friend on the phone during our daily afternoon call.

"But it's just in the morning?" My best friend asked on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah. It's just weird. I've tried to think of every possible thing it could be and I can't come up with anything. Maybe there's a stomach bug going around that I caught?"

"Are you pregnant?" She asked.

I dropped the shirt in my hand and held on to the edge of the counter.

How could I not think of that? It all made sense.

The dizziness and nausea in the morning. It wasn't a stomach bug. It was morning sickness.

But I couldn't be pregnant. Ethan and I were always careful because we weren't sure we wanted to have a family right now with his schedule in NXT.

And I had my period just last week. I couldn't be pregnant.

But my period was really light compared to normal and only lasted a couple of days instead of a week.

"Y/n? You there?" My best friend asked on the other end of the phone. "Do I need to come over?"

"Yeah...sorry. I'm here." I said softly as I shook the thoughts from my head.

"You sure you're okay, girl? Do you want me to come over there?"

"N-no. It's okay." I mumbled.

"Are you sure? You don't sound okay." She said.

"No, I'm good. Sorry I just had a brain fart there for a second." I said.

"Okay. Well hey, I've gotta go but I'll talk to you later." She said.

"Okay. I'll see you later." I said before I hung up.

Later that afternoon I went to the Pharmacy around the corner and picked up a home pregnancy test. It was almost impossible for me to be pregnant. I had forgotten to take my pills with me for a weekend that I went on the road with Ethan. But with his crazy schedule, we only had sex that weekend and it was the first night we were there. I had taken my pill as scheduled the day before so the chances of me actually getting pregnant had to be slim. Right?

I headed back upstairs to the master bedroom and walked into the bathroom. I opened the box and pulled one of the tests out and unwrapped it. I slid my sweats down and took the test before putting the plastic cap back on the end of it and pulling my pants back up.

I sat there on the edge of the bathtub and thought about the future.

What if I was pregnant? What was I going to do? What were we going to do?

Ethan and I weren't ready to be parents.

Would he even want a baby? Would he leave me if I was pregnant?

I mean we had talked about kids before but we both agreed we wanted to be married before we had any. We hadn't even been together that long. Just a little over a year. I had only been living with him for a couple months. A baby would change everything for us.
