I stared at the pregnancy test in my shaking hands. How could I be pregnant? Taehyung used a condom. Maybe it broke or...oh my gosh. There goes my "prank". Well, I have to tell him. I wash my hands, take a deep breath and come out from the bathroom, putting the pregnancy test on the counter. No one was home so I had the house to myself.

I paced around the living room. How am I going to tell Taehyung that I'm pregnant and...how will he react? Will he leave me? What if he deletes my number and moves away? It may sound ridiculous but it could happen. While I'm thinking about this, I hear the locks being turned on the door. Someone's home! I quickly get the pregnancy test and put it in my pocket.

The door swings open and in comes Taehyung in his white doctor robe. He sees me and puts his bag down near the door. He goes to me and squeezes me tight and gives my lips a kiss. "Hey baby, you're home early." he says as he ruffles my hair. "I could say the same to you." I say as I grab his hand.

"Oh yeah and please remind me to not let Jungkook feed me any leftovers from the fridge." Taehyung raises his eyebrows. "Why what happened?" He asks a little intrigued. "Your friend gave me an expired chicken wrap from the fridge and I ate it." Taehyung made a face. "W-What?" I pouted my lips. "It made my tummy hurt." I whine.

He kissed my cheek. "I'm sorry baby. I promise, I'll get him later on, okay?" I nod. Taehyung grabs his bag and hangs up his coat. "Why are you home early?" I ask curious. "I wasn't really needed throughout the day so I came home." Taehyung smiles. "Now, we can spend time together." I could use some cuddling right now.

I walk over to Tae on the couch but my stomach starts rumbling again. "Are you okay?" Taehyung asks. I couldn't say anything. I was scared that if I opened my mouth, I'd just end up puking so I lightly shook my head. As gross as it was, I tried my best to swallow the puke but that made it worse so I ran to the bathroom again.

Taehyung follows behind me. I puked again, but Tae rubbed my back and gave me a glass of water. I got myself together and drank the water. "Feeling better?" he asks trying to help me up. I nod. "Y-Yeah, thank you." Taehyung brought me to the couch and laid beside me. I don't know how much longer I can delay telling him the truth. He grabbed my hand. "Are you okay, now?" He asks.

I stood up from the couch. "I'm gonna go lay down for a bit." "Do you want me to come with you?" Taehyung asks. "No, I'll be okay." I grab onto the railing making sure I don't fall. "I'll come check up on you in a few minutes." Man, my stomach felt so weird I didn't want to say anything.

I finally got into bed and put the covers over me. Taehyung came in and rubbed my shoulders. "Try to get some sleep okay?" I nodded. "I also put the trash can next to the bed in case you can't make it to the bathroom." "Thanks Tae. I appreciate it." I closed my eyes hoping sleep would hit me.

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

I open my eyes and look up over at the clock on the nightstand. 5:06 pm. I slept pretty late. I slowly sit up in bed. Thank god the nausea was gone. I pick up my phone and see a text message from Taehyung.

"hey baby, there was an emergency at work so I had to go back. if something goes wrong, call me or jungkook. feel better soon. i love u♡"

I text back.

"thanks baby. see you soon♡"

I haven't seen Nyani in a while, let me call her over. Maybe she can help me with this pregnancy thing. The phone rings twice before she picks up.

"Hello?"
"Hey girl! How are you?"
"Hey Lauren, I'm alright. How about you? How are you and Taehyung?"
"That's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you mind coming over to his house for a bit?"
"No not at all. I'm on my way now."
"Thanks Nyani. See you in a bit."
"See you."

We hang up and I go downstairs and wait for her. It didn't take long before she got here. I open the door. She had sweatpants and a graphic t-shirt on. Her hair was out and straightened. We hug. "Look at your little baby bump!" I say rubbing her small belly. "I know. Already some of my clothes don't fit me anymore." "Well come in."

I close the door behind her and we sit on the couch. "Do you want anything?" She shakes her head. "Nah, I'm okay. Thanks though." Nyani gathers her hair and ties it up in a pony. "Okay, so what did you want to talk about?" I take a deep breath. "Okay well..um..I found out this morning that...I'm pregnant."

Nyani's eyes widen. "WHAT?! OH MY GOD LAUREN! THAT'S AMAZING!" She squeezes me tightly. "Thanks girl..." "What's wrong? You don't seem so happy." I sigh. "Well, I mean, me and Taehyung had sex a week ago but he wore a condom. I just don't know how I got pregnant." Nyani shrugs. "It could have broke during sex and maybe you guys didn't know."

"Yeah I guess that could happen." "Are you gonna keep the baby?" Nyani asks. Honestly, I haven't thought about that. "I'm not sure...I haven't thought about it." It really would depend on what Taehyung says. "Well, whatever you choose, you know I will always support you." Nyani grabs my hand and I smile. "Thank you so much." "Anything for you, girl."

We talked for a little about how I should tell Tae when he gets home today. We figured out a plan and Nyani went home. I went over the plan a million times in my head. A few hours later, Taehyung came home. He gave me a few kisses. "How are you feeling?" He asked putting his stuff away. "I'm feeling better, thanks for asking."

He came back into the living room and I patted the seat next to me so he could sit down. I took a deep breath and grabbed his hand with both of my hands. "Taehyung, I have to tell you something." "What's wrong? Is everything okay?" "Y-Yeah it's just..." Taehyung was giving me his full attention. It was killing me how I can't tell him so easily. I take a deep breath.

Forget the plan, I'm just gonna get this over with. "Taehyung...I'm pregnant." His smile drops. Maybe I shouldn't have told him. I pull out the pregnancy test from my pocket and hand it to him. He stares at it intensely. "A-Are you serious, Lauren?" I nod. He sets the pregnancy test down on the table.

"Lauren...I don't know what to say..." I knew it. Of course he doesn't want to have a kid. I mean, we haven't even been dating that long. I couldn't hold it back any longer. The tears flowed down my cheeks and onto my hands. Taehyung looked up and saw me. "Lauren? What's wrong?" He tried wiping away some falling tears but they kept coming.

"I-I'm sorry..." "I just...don't even know how you got pregnant." I shrug. "Maybe...the condom broke?" "Maybe...but...what are you going to do with the baby?" I stayed silent for a little. "Honestly, I don't know..do you want me to keep it?" Taehyung rubbed my hands.

"If I'm being honest, I didn't plan on having kids yet...but if you want to keep the baby, I would love to raise it with you and I promise, I will give it my all and be the best father to our little one." Oh my god. The tears came back as I sobbed into my hands.

Taehyung brought me into his embrace and hugged me until I got myself together. "So, are you gonna keep the baby?" Taehyung asked curling the corners of his lips. I nodded. "Yes. I'm gonna keep it." Taehyung hugged me again and gave my lips a long and sweet kiss.

"I can't wait to tell Jungkook." Oh yeah, I forgot to tell Jungkook. I cup Taehyung's face in my hands. "I love you so much, Taehyung." I brought him in for a kiss. "I love you so much too, Lauren." He quickly pulled me into his embrace and wrapped his arms around me. I laugh and try to escape his grip but its no use.

"Let me go!" I yell playfully. Taehyung shook his head. "Nope." I give up in trying to escape and accept that there was no way I was leaving his embrace. Taehyung bent down and kissed my forehead. I smiled and put my hands on top of his.

I loved Taehyung with my life and I'm so glad we are gonna raise this child together. I mean, I wasn't really planning on being a mom either but regardless, we will both do our part in raising our child. I closed my eyes and imagined all the things we would get to do together.

We would take family trips like the beach, the carnival, Disney World and we would have family movie nights. We'll laugh together, cry together, struggle together and love together and there is no one I would rather do it with than him. Kim Taehyung, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, wherever it may take us and no matter what, I promise to stay by your side.
