Brittany quickly hung up. The room remained quiet for a long time, I think we're all trying to piece together what must've happened. Who's baby is it? That's the question each of us are trying to silently answer first.
Violet is the first to speak, "Brittany, are you okay?"
Brittany paused, took a breath, and said, "Yes, but I hope Red doesn't get too freaked out."
"Why would he?" Janessa questioned.
"Because it's his baby."
After a while we all dispersed from our room. I went to the lobby's coffee shop and I ordered a large hot chocolate (I don't like coffee and I need a hot chocolate to help me think). I spend a while just sitting at the table trying to think about what this means for me and Red. Brittany probably already told him about it. I wonder how he took it.
Red, just the boy I was thinking about, walked up to me, "Hey, Jennifer. What's up?"
"Haha not much, just thinking."
"Dang, that's pretty hard for me to do." We both giggle at that. Even when I'm sad Red knows how to make me laugh. "But I uh, Jennifer, uh would you, would you–" Red started.
"What is it?" I ask.
He takes a steadying breath and says, "Would you want to grab lunch with me? Just the two of us?"
"Uhh, like a date?"
"Yeah, like a date." I am so excited to go out with Red but if this is a date I can't do that to Brittany, even if she is super mean.
"I can't. Not with the baby and everything," I say disappointedly.
"What? You're pregnant?!"
"No... Brittany is. And it's yours."
"WHAT?! How?? I didn't even sleep with her!"
"Wait, what? She told the whole team it was yours. And you spent the night in her room."
"There's no way! I slept on the couch! We have to go find her and clear this up." Red storms off, leaving the lobby coffee shop, and I tail him, trying to find out more about Brittany's baby. We walk to the elevator and Red bangs on her door. Brittany opens it quickly and leans against the door frame, staring dreamily into his eyes.
"Brittany, why did you say you were pregnant with my baby," Red demands.
"Because it is yours," Brittany says back.
"No it isn't. Brittany, we didn't sleep together."
"Oh, um..." It seems like all the lies caught up with her just now. Maybe she didn't think it'd get back to her so quickly.
"Brittany, who's baby is it?" Red asks.
"It's Shaun's baby."
