Pregnant Little Liars

Chapter 4

Emily P.O.V

(2 days before Toby visits Spencer)
"I haven't got my period for 1 month!" I say freaking out "I'm starting to worry! I know I can take a pregnancy test but... I'm not with a guy, and I can't tell anymore details until he is gone, the person who I think is the father." I whisper into the phone.

"Em, either you tell him or I will." Alison states.

"If he goes though.." I half suggest. I don't want Alison getting involved again! I thought I could finally share my secrets but I guess not. I make a pathetic excuse and hang up.

I do a stupid thing. I take out the pregnancy test and go into the bathroom. I hope I'm over reacting and I'm safe. I follow the instructions-reluctantly- and the result is two lines. I check the box again hoping I'm right, but I'm wrong. Two lines means pregnancy.

"Shit!" I whisper to myself. No one will believe me, I'm gay after all. But that one night, when I had one too many drinks, maybe three too many.

I call up Ben. A bit embarrassed I still have his phone number.

"Hey! Long time no...talk" The reception is bad and I can't hear well.

"Can I ask you a favor?" I take a deep breath. I have a 1% chance this will work.

"Yeah, I guess...Can't you ask your girlfriend or something?" He says, surprisingly serious.

"I don't...um...have one" I say " she couldn't help anyway."

"Oh" I can sense how uncomfortable he is.

"Look I'm kind of in a bad situation... and I was wondering if you could be my lie"

"What exactly are you asking?" He asks. Because you havent spoke to me in ages and it seems like you're using me."

"I know I'm sorry...I'm kinda pregnant..." I trail off.

"Really?!" He says calmly "aren't you...gay." I hear nothing after that.

"Ben? Ben!" nothing.

After 5 minutes of waiting I hear fumbling and hes back on the line.

"Look I cant help you...this would effect my life, im not getting tangled in your web. Your f***ing insane!"

"Please Ben! what do you want? You don't have to tell our parents!" I plead.

"...well...maybe...lets just say you owe my a favor when the time comes, nomatter what!"

"Fine. Thank you sooo much"

With a grunt he ends the call.

Now it's time for the important text.

*Texting*

Me: hey Could you come over? We need to talk.

Unknown number: Why?

How do I say this without exposing that he's the father?

Me: That's why you need to come over, so I can tell you why.

Unknown number: Fine.

I prepare some small snacks and make myself a coffee to calm down. My emotions are driving me crazy! After a few short minutes he has arrived and I take deep breaths.

I need to somehow get him to leave town for a while to get a grasp on things without telling him about the child practically swimming in my stomach.

I open the door and Toby Cavanaugh rushes in.

"Is everything okay?" He stares in my eye and I look away in guilt.

"Maybe you might want to sit down..." I take long breaths as Toby slowly sits in confusion. I can't decide whether I should be direct or take it slow.

"I think you should leave town" I go with direct, might as well get it over and done with.

"W...what?"

"We have been so reckless and stupid, Toby. What about Spencer?"

"Spencer? Emily I want you" his gaze is perfect but I know I will never feel the same.

"Toby, I don't and will probably never like guys..." The guilt continues creeping up inside.

"Take a chance on me" He takes my hands in his.

"Toby! Don't you get it! That was a one off thing and Spencer will be heart-broken! Spencer can never know. I can't believe we both betrayed her like that!"

"I...I"

"No! Leave town please! I know deep down your a nice guy but you staying here will ruin everything. She will find out sooner or later!"

"What will I tell her?" He swiftly lets go of my hands and rubs the back of his neck.

"That you have something you have to do for work"
