Naomi's POV

"What? What does it say Nay? Spit it it out."

I could feel myself getting lightheaded as I looked down at both sticks each, with two red lines on them. "I'm pregnant..."

Nasim stood at the camera with her eyes widened and mouth wide opened, "Seriously?" I nodded. "I'm going to be an aunty?" She squealed. "Come on Nay cheer up this is good, you've wanted this for a really long time and now you finally get to experience it and with someone you love! Say something!"

"I've got to sit down, and shower I'll call you later." Hanging up the call I quickly got into the shower as I tried analyzing what the hell just happened. I was completely in shock, no words left to say. After my shower I went in to my closet and slipped on a loose beige tracksuit, with some white sneakers. Finally I pulled my hair up into a bun and slipped on some earrings after hiding one tests in my drawer and slipping the other one in a small bag in my purse. As I opened up the door I found Mena standing at it.

"You ready? Took quite a bit in there."

"Yeah I'm sorry I just— lost track of time."

"Okay... are you feeling alright? You look somewhat out of it Nay."

"I'm just not feeling very good thats all."

"Oh, well maybe if you eat something you—"

"I'm really not hungry right now, can we just go to parents house and get this over with?" I snapped as I walked past him and out of the room.

Mena ran and followed me outside until we reached the car. He didn't say a single word but his face told the tale, he was so confused at my emotions right now but I couldn't tell him why. The ride to my parents house was completely silent. I needed that time to gather my thoughts. What was I going to do? Did I tell my mom, did I go to a doctor? Did I tell Mena? Did this change absolutely everything? I had dozens of questions and no one to answer them for me, it was only a matter if time before I showed and I had to tell everyone.

"Well, we're here..." Mena smiled nervously. "You know we can just do this another time if you're not feeling it Nay."

"Doing what, its just lunch Mena? Just, whatever I'll eat something and then we can go home." I responded before jumping out of the car.

"Hey woah woah, what was that?" He stopped me. "Are we okay? Did something happen that you suddenly can't look at me for more than 2 seconds?"

"It's nothing I'm fine, like I said I don't feel good. Can we just get this over with already?" Mena sighed knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, my mom opened up with the biggest smile on her face, almost creepy looking even. "They're here honey!" She shouted at my dad. "Oh come on in you two!"

As I walked inside a strong scent hit me, "What's that smell?"

"It's a roast, why?"

"No reason just wondering." I took a gulp tried to stop breathing through my nose while we went to sit down. This was going to be a long afternoon...

Mena's POV

*3 hours earlier*

"So how does that one look?"

"Oh Mena it's perfect, I think that's the one!" I heard Naomi's mom gush over the phone. "When are you planning on doing it?"

"Well, if everything goes as planned today at lunch."

"Oh my gosh then I have to get started so everything looks perfect! I'll see you this afternoon!" Putting my phone down I called up the guy at the store.

"Excuse me, I think I'm taking this one."

"Who's the lucky girl?" He asked as he put the small ring a box.

"She's.. someone extremely special."

"Sounds like you're both very in love, congratulations."

"Thank you!"

"I'll get this packed up for you, you can go ahead and pay."

Before I knew it I was out and about with a ring in my pocket, ready to ask the love of my life to spend the rest of her life with me. That's up until everything started going south...

*current time*

Now I sat at her parents dinner table and she couldn't even look at me. Her face looked pale and expressionless, but her eyes told another story. I could tell she had been crying, and I had no absolutely idea why.

Naomi didn't look up or say a word during the past half an hour. As her mom placed the food on the table I felt her grab on to my hand, "What is it?"

"Nothing just squeeze my hand."

"Nay, you look pale... are you sure you—"

"I think I'm going to be sick." In seconds she'd gotten up from the table and ran into the bathroom. Her parents and I stared at each other in complete confusion.

"What is going on with her?"

"I don't know... she said she didn't feel good back home but I mean its not like shes eaten anything today. I better check on her." Quickly I ran into the bathroom and found Naomi sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, what's going on? It's alright." She shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe you caught something, which in this case means its probably best not to be here right now..." Naomi hid her face from me. "Let's just go home Nay,"

"Everything alright in here?" Her mom came in through the door.

"I'm fine, just not feeling my best thats all, can we go now?" Naomi finally spoke up.

"Wait, go? Aren't you going to eat something, I mean Mena—" I quickly turned to her mom with widened eyes. "Must be hungry... do you want the food to go?"

"That's alright I'll just pick something up on the way, thank you Mrs. S."

"Sure thing, feel better baby girl and call if you need anything."

As I walked Naomi out I turned to her mom and mouthed, "Sorry,". I guess first time it wasn't a charm...
