                          Mia - Now

"Congratulations Miss Mia you're pregnant," my Doctore says with enthusiasm that I don't feel. Instead, my heart rate accelerates at an alarming rate. I take several deep breaths before asking the questions I'm dreading the most. "How far along am I?" She looks down at her chart. "Looks like you are about six weeks in," she says smiling warmly at me. My heart drops and I know my world and everything I have worked for is fixing to implode. There is no more pretending or hiding it. I thank her and get off the table suddenly numb. Before I even make it home I decide to tell everyone the truth tonight before I can chicken out and make everything so much worse than they already are. My fingers hover over the keypad of my phone trying to find the best way to go about this. In the end, I settle on a quick group text. Hey, guys, I need you to come to my appearance in four hours. Then I switch off my phone and open my door getting to work on cleaning to distract me while I wait.

                       Six weeks earlier.
"Ah," I scream and laugh at the same time. Amelia laughs too and stumbles off towards the bar. Another round of shots and another. Everyone is dancing around me. My legs fell like jelly and the room slightly spins. I start to fall back and land in a pair of strong arms. I laugh as I gaze up at this sexy man through heavy eyes. Warmth and candlewood engulf me. Familiar eyes stare into mine and suddenly I want him. Heat spreads through me like wildfire. Everything and everyone in the room suddenly forgotten.  He scups me up into his arms and take me to his car. Setting me in the front seat, he lays down the back seat for the room while I fumble with clothing. Panties, dress, and shoes went I climb into the back seat laughing as I go getting stuck. Quickly and swiftly he pulls me onto his lap and enters me. So familiar yet so different. He runs his hand up and down my body as pounds into me and I ride him. Together we fall in sink Both of us come together with a beautiful explosion. Completely satisfied and dizzy I lay down and fall into a deep slumber.

My eyes slowly flutter open but I quickly shut them again. The light blinding me in the face. My head hurts and my body aches. I blink rapidly and finally open my eyes to find my surroundings to be a car. A nice one. I close my eyes and try to remember last night. Flashes come to me slowly. My heart goes wild as the night comes back to me. I look over to find Greyson laying naked next to me. Still deep in sleep. I cover my mouth quickly to hold back sobs that want to escape. Slipping on my dress I run. I don't notice anything but the feeling of my feet pound in the concrete and the beating of my heart. I don't know how long it takes me to get home but it was long enough for the sun to move. I crash through my apartment door and head straight to my bed.

                          4Weeks ago.

Guilt recs me day in and day out but every time I try to tell Ethan I chicken out. I just can't bring my self to tell them. It's one thing to cheat. It's another thing to cheat with his brother and my best friend was showing interest in him. She hasn't brought him up in a while so I'm not sure where they stand. To make matters worse I don't think Greyson remembers. I left before he woke up. I know I'm going to lose Ethan. I'm scared of losing my best friend too. I will have to get another job maybe even move from the city. My shame for this is going to hunt me for the rest of my life. I can't ever remember a time I made such a huge mistake then continued to lie about on top of it all. Amelia and Ethan can tell there is something wrong with me and it only makes me feel worse. Still, I can't find the words to tell them the truth.

                          Now

A knock sounds at the door and I know it's time. I hold my head high and take several breaths before opening my door. "Greyson" I greet him with only his name and avoid eye contact. So many things I want to say at this moment but I don't. His head is down and mumbles a thank you as I hold the door open for him. Something tells me he does remember and know why I have called this meeting. What he doesn't know is that I'm carrying his child. I close the door and wait for the others to knock. Uncomfortable silence makes me want to tell him now to break the silence. I start to open my mouth but am interrupted but another knock at the door. Amelia and Ethan walk through the threshold giving me pity glance like I'm fixing to tell them something horrible has happened to me. In reality, I'm telling them something horrible I have done. If only something horrible did happen to me instead. This might be so much easier.

Everyone sits in the living cowardly waiting for me to start. Where do I start though? I clear my throat several times holding back tears that want to form. "I'm sorry. I have done something horrible." I say and then stop. I decide not to explain but to just rip the bandaid off. "I cheated on Ethan with Greyson six weeks ago the night we got wasted." I blow out a breath slash sob. " I'm also pregnant with his child now."

I put my head in my hands and squeeze my eyes from the shame. Moment of silence then a door slams shut then another moment later. I pull the head up and meet Amelia's eyes. She says nothing but walks and sits in front of me. I lay my head on shoulders thankful she didn't walk out on me too. I cry for what seems like forever. She finally speaks. "Tell me everything. Get it all out." So I do. I tell her everything I could remember that night and everything from over the last six weeks.

I pass out that night on her lap like a child knowing I don't deserve this comfort but needing none the less.  Worries of Ethan and Greyson at least for the moment lighter since the night I ruined everything.
