"3 minutes," I whisper to myself as I place the pregnancy test on the bathroom counter. "That shouldn't be too long."

I wander out into the living room and plop myself on the couch, dozens of thoughts swarming my mind. What if I am pregnant? How will Shawn react? Sure, in our 3 years of dating we've talked about how we both want kids, but not now. Not so soon. With him going on tour in March...

My thoughts are interrupted by the ringing of the timer on my phone, telling me the 3 minutes is up. I shakily stand up and turn the timer off before slowly making my way over to the bathroom. I stop in the doorway and just stare at the test on the counter, unable to make out what it says yet. I take a deep breath and walk over to the counter and pick up the test to read the results.

Two lines. There's two lines.

"Oh my god," is all I can say as I my whole body goes numb.

I'm pregnant.

After a solid 10 minutes of just staring at the test in my hands, I place it back down on the counter. I walk to the kitchen and grab a water bottle out of the fridge and take a sip while staring blankly out the window, before I'm interrupted again by my phone going off. This time with a text.

"Who could that be?," I ask myself as I head towards the coffee table to read it.

Karen

Hey y/n! I'm on my way

that shelving unit
together..see you soon!

"Oh shit, I completely forgot about that," I quickly say to myself before replying:

Today 12:38 PM

Ok, see you in a little bit!

About 10 minutes of more overthinking, I decide to take my mind off of things and begin to rummage through the box from Ikea for instructions, I hear a knock at the door. I swiftly make my way over to the door and swing the door open, revealing a smiling Karen holding two cups of hot chocolate.

"Oh my gosh you're so sweet," I exclaim with a smile as she walks in.

"Just a little treat before we have to get down to business," she says as she places the cups down on the counter and pulls me into a hug before we both make our way over to the huge Ikea box and dive in.

(timeskip cuz i'm lazy)

"Whew," Karen exclaims as she finally pieces the shelf in her hand and the unit together, watching the shelf slide in with ease. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get my piece in, but it won't budge.

"How'd you make it look so easy?," I giggle.

"Practice, I guess. You know Shawn and his father are so alike, they can't follow instructions for the life of them," she says with a laugh as she begins screwing the pieces together.

"It's a good thing I asked you to help me," I grin.

"Alrighty," she says as she tightens the last screw on her shelf. "I'm gonna go use the bathroom quickly. I'll be right back," she states, placing the screwdriver down on the table and begins walking down the hall to the bathroom.

"Ok," I call out to her without looking up from my shelf piece.

A couple moments later, I hear the sink run and she opens the door.

"Y/n, honey, can you come here for a minute?," she softly calls down the hallway.

I put what I was working on aside and walk down the hall. "Yeah, I'm coming."

"What's up?" I ask as I turn the corner into the bathroom.

"Honey, what's this?" she asks with a small smile while gesturing to what's sitting on the counter.

The test. Shit.

I open my mouth and try to reply but I can

"You're pregnant?," she smiles even bigger. I smile softly and nod in response.

She pulls me into a huge hug. "Oh my gosh that's wonderful. Congratulations honey!"

"Thank you," I smile back, relieved to see that she's happy.

She pulls away from me before grabbing my shoulders. "Does Shawn know yet?"

"No, not yet," I say, twiddling my fingers. "I think I want to tell him in person. Probably when he gets back."

"Oh, he'll be so happy! He's always wanted to be a dad and he's great with kids," she says before pulling me into another hug. "I'm so happy for you guys."

"Me too."
