"What in god's name is so important that you needed me to leave-"
"I think I'm pregnant." I cut her off, feeling panic rise in me. I hadn't said it out loud until now and am officially starting to stress. Ember stops waving her arms around and literally freezes in place.
We're in my room, private to everyone except my stalker apparently, but right now I just need to be able to talk to my best friend without my nosy family hearing. Ember, still frozen in front of my tv in the lounge area of my bedroom, is not helping me right now.
I lightly place my hands over my flat stomach and try to picture myself carrying another person. Is it even possible? I mean, yeah Aaron and I have had sex, but never without...
I smack myself in the forehead. The one time we forget... It wasn't that long ago either which means I can't be more than three weeks pregnant.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I jump and my friend quickly wraps her arms around me in an excited hug. "I can't believe it! My baby is gonna have a baby!" I slap my hand over her mouth to get her to stop screaming for one second so I can speak.
"I'm not even sure if I'm right. I can't go and get a pregnancy test or my parents will know about it in like two seconds." Realization lights up her eyes.
"You want me to go get you a test?" I nod.
"Get me more than one, just to know for sure." She wraps me in her arms once again, this time it's for comfort.
"Sweetie, it'll be okay." Tears prick my eyes, as much as I will myself not to cry.
"It won't be okay. Not now! Aaron is in the dungeon! I can't go through this by myself! God! He's in the dungeon! How am I supposed to tell him?! Does he even want it?" I groan and put my head in my hands.
Suddenly, I feel a sharp sting on my arm. I look up to see my red-headed friend with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her pretty face.
"He loves you and will not abandon you."
"But we talked about waiting to have kids. We were going to wait a few more years, get settled and get our lives in order." I defend, quite pathetically.
"Do I have to hit you again?" I shake my head, and she looks momentarily satisfied. "Good, now I'll be back in a half hour or less with your stuff. Don't do anything stupid." She warns before running from the room. I sigh.
Can I even be a mother? Now is not really the best time for this either. I at least wanted to wait until Aaron and I had our own house before starting a family. I rub my stomach and picture it round with my baby. My wolf hums in excitement at the thought of having a pup. I bet her maternal instinct will be better than mine. I honestly have no idea what to do.
And I'm scared.
I don't know what to do and that terrifies me.
Okay. Deep breaths. I can do this. The first thing I need to do is wait for Ember to get back with my stuff to verify things. I might just be over reacting to all the stress I've being put under lately.
Until then, I can-
Someone knocks on my door. Confused, I walk to open it. If it were Ember, she'd walk right in, but even then it's only been a few minutes. She couldn't have made it to the store and back already.
Getting closer, I smell who it is before I actually open the door.
"Antonio?" My uncle stands outside my door with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, I was hoping you were here. Can I come in?" I step to the side.
"Um sure." He walks in, and I close the door behind him. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" I ask, sitting back down on my couch. He sighs, instantly alerting me that something's wrong.
