Ugh, this morning she does not feel well. Actually, for the past two days, she has been feeling sort of queasy and tired. Maybe she's just tired like how Gabriella and Hayley told her. Getting out of bed she walks into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

"Hey beautiful," AD says greeting her with a kiss on the lips. "You okay," he asks worry about her.

"Yeah, I guess," she replies as she sits down waiting for him to give her her plate of food, "Just feeling tired and queasy again this morning."

"Alright," he says as he sets down a plate of food for her.

She looks at the plate of food in front of her, it looks delicious as always but somehow, she doesn't want to eat the sausages, scrambled eggs, and blueberry pancakes. He stares as she reluctantly picks up her fork and put a small section of sausage in her mouth. Is she sick? Does she not like his cooking anymore? Or is it the food? He raises his eyebrow as she covers her mouth and races to the bathroom. Worry, he follows her to find her sitting on the floor throwing up into the toilet.

"Hey," he says walking over to crouch down after flushing the toilet, "let's go to the doctor."

"No, I'm okay," she protests.

"No you're not," he says as he gets up and helps her. "I'm worried."

"You worry too much," she says as she turns on the sink and rinses her mouth while he watches. "Listen," she say, "I'll be fine. You should get going to work. Hayley and Gabriella are coming by soon if anything happens I'm sure they'll let you know."

"Stephanie, I—"

"Go, don't you have an important meeting this morning? Hurry and go so we can go out and celebrate your birthday later."

"Alright," he says.

The two girls along with Danny listens intently as she tells them how she threw up this morning. The three of them look at each other for a while as she looks at them confused. What are they doing? Did they not hear what she told them? What kind of friends are they?!

"Steph," Danny says, "Are you and AD sexually active?"

"Of course we are."

"You guys use protection?" Gabriella asks raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but there were a few times when we didn't, and I forgot to take the pills."

"Then it's all settled," Danny says clapping his hands.

"What," she asks looking at them, "Oh no," she says realizing to where they're getting at, "I can't be. There's absolutely no way."

"Honey," Hayley says, "There is absolutely a way. When was the last time you have your period?'

"About," she trails off trying to remember the last time she got her period. Was it two weeks ago? Or longer? Now that she thinks about it, she may have missed her last period.

"See," Danny says as he gets up and rummages through his bag, "You can't even remember," he says walking over and handing her a box. "Now go pee," he demands.

"Why the hell do you even carry pregnancy tests," she asks as they force her to get up and drag her into the bedroom.

Hearing a bunch of cheers and laughter from upstairs as soon as he walks in, he shakes his head with a chuckle. Maybe he did worry a little bit too much this morning. Sounds like they're having a party upstairs. Anyway, he came home earlier than expected so that means it is time for them to go so that the two of them can celebrate his birthday. This year, he decided to spend his birthday at home with the woman of his life. Some of his friends were jokingly teasing him about how disappointed they got as they were expecting a huge party. His parents, of course, gave him his gifts a few days earlier and even her parents sent him a handmade hanbok.

"Hey," he says as he opens the door, "What's going on in here? Sounds like a party."

"You," Stephanie says as she shoots up to look at him, "You," she says again pointing at him as he looks dumbfounded, "You did this to me," she shouts. "You did this to me. It's all your fault!" She claims as she gets up, walk to him, and slaps him across the face.

"Stephanie," Gabriella, Hayley, and Danny exclaim.

Turning around he looks at her dumbfounded. What the hell was that for? What did he do to her? He was at work all day! Why is she being like this again? Seeing the confusion on her face as she tries to say something to him, but the words won't come out of her mouth.

"Babe, what did I do?"

"I don't know," she says, "I don't know anymore," she cries.

"What is going on," he says looking at the other three, but even they won't say a single word to him. Instead, shrug their shoulders and walk out leaving the two of them. Frustrated and with lots of different emotions running through her, she walks over and sits at the edge of the bed as he stands there staring at her.

"AD," she whispers a while after her friends left the room, "I'm pregnant." He looks at her. Did he hear that correctly? Or is he imagining?

"What did you say," he asks in a soft voice.

"I'm pregnant," she says as she hands him the three pregnancy tests in her hand.

"Stephanie," he exclaims as he walks over and quickly lifts her up in bridal style, "Darling you should have told me sooner," he says as he spins her around not caring to look at the pregnancy tests. "Oh my gosh," he exclaims as he puts her down and takes the pregnancy tests out of her hands into the trash can, "Baby girl we need to get you to a doctor. W-w-we need to tell our families! I'm going to be a father," he laughs pulling her into a hug. "Don't cry," he says noticing her tears. Of course, she's going through a lot of emotions and thoughts right now. "This is the best present ever," he says and gives her a kiss.
