The Falling virgin

e p i l o g u e

I was walking back to our apartment in London, coming home from a long day of work.

I unlocked the door and put down my bag on the ground. "Home!" I shouted and the door of our bedroom opened. "Hey," Connor said, walking up to me and placing a brief kiss on my lips. "How was work?"

"Same old, lots of paper work." I said and he nodded. "Yours?" I asked.

"Patient survived a dangerous surgery, so that's great news. He was ten years old and barely made it." He said, putting his arms around me. "Told you you could do it." I smiled and he nodded.

"Ben called, he said he wanted to talk to you about something important. What's going on?" He asked, frowning.

Oh, fuck.

"I, uhm, I'll call him just now." I said, biting the inside of my cheek.

"Allison," He started, but I had already removed his arms from around me. I walked to the bedroom and closed the door, dialing Benjamin's number.

"Alli, Alli," He face popped up as soon as the line went over. "How's the baby?"

I let out a small chuckle. "Good," I said. "Why did you call?" I put the phone against a book on the desk.

"Well, just wanted to check up, it's not everyday your little sister is pregnant."

I heard something drop behind the door. "What?" Connor's voice sounded. The door opened and he walked in, his mouth fell open. "You're- We're pregnant?" He said, pointing his finger between us.

I nodded, a smile spreading on my face. He threw his arms around me, lifting me off the ground. I shrieked as he showered my face with kisses. He put me back on the ground. "There's a fucking baby growing inside of you?"

"Yeah," I said. "A month now."

"Month?" He asked, his expression turning into a frown. "Wh- Aah!"

I placed a kiss on his lips, but he was too shocked to return. "We're not married yet," He said. "What is your grandma gonna say about this? When did this even happen? I mean, we're always safe."

"Guys." Ben's voice sounded. "I don't wanna know."

I rolled my eyes, muting the microphone. "I think," I said, turning back to Connor. "That one time in the bathroom of that diner."

His eyes widened. "Oh, God."

I nodded. "Yeah, cause-"

"Or, back in Glendale at Ethan's?"

I tried to recall that night, it was about a month ago, so there was a possibility.

"Actually, that would make better sense." I said, his hands tracing my hands. "Now we have to make Ethan godfather."

I grinned. "Don't think Ben would like that."

He kissed me before turning to the phone and un-muting. "Thanks."

Connor put his arms around me, kissing my head. "This is awesome."

I kissed his chest and I could hear Ben groan. "Alright, kids are not as awesome as they seem."

"That's cause you got my my sister pregnant before she went to college." Connor said, shaking his head. "Though Pete is a great kid."

"You only say that cause Hayden thought it was cool to make you the godfather." Benjamin said. "Glad she did." I said and Ben suddenly looked away from the camera. "I have to go, Hayden is calling me."

"Say hi from us." Connor said and Benjamin gave us a small nod before ending the call. "What the fuck."

I smiled and looked at him. "What?"
