it had been months since jack and francesca came to their arrangement and they had spent many steamy nights, mornings and afternoons with each other with the last one being a few weeks ago due to their busy schedules.

francesca was feeling the best that she had in a long time. she thought she had that 'after sex glow' that people talked about and she loved it. emilia was the only one who knew about the arrangement although she had no idea who jack had told but she almost didn't care, the sex was too good to ruin it.

jack on the other hand, he was loving having francesca to himself without having to admit his feelings to her. he could annoy her and have his lips on hers at the same time. he knew that their friends with benefits agreement meant no strings attached but jack couldn't help the feelings that he had towards her. how could he? she was gorgeous, everyone knew it. he made her stomach do flips and he felt like a lovesick teenager when he was around her which was totally not like him.

"are you coming to mine tonight? ben's been invited and he's going to bring all of his footballer friends so maybe i can get some too!" emilia whispered to her best friend as they were reorganising the store room, a boring task but it was always more exciting when francesca had her best friend.

"fine, i'll be there." the brunette girl knew that jack would be there and she wasn't sure if she would be able to keep it in her pants with all of their friends being there. she was finding it harder and harder to resist him as the days went on, wanting nothing more than to rip his shirt off and attack his lips whenever she saw him.

suddenly, the girl started to feel a bit sick. she had been throwing up a little each morning but she fought through the nausea and made it to work. it didn't seem like a big deal to her since she had been using protection with jack and there was a sickness bug going about. she left the stock room to go to the staff toilet where she threw up.

"it must be a bug. jack and i have been careful and emilia had one last week." francesca shook it off and decided that it was best if she went home, she couldn't risk giving whatever she had to their customers.

***

francesca never made it to emilia's, feeling far too sick to go and have a good time. the blonde girl was surrounded by hot footballers all night and when jack found out that the brunette wasn't going to make it, he felt utterly disappointed. he tried not to show it but he really did care about her.

the morning after emilia's party, francesca found herself to be sleeping on the bathroom floor feeling sorry for herself. emilia had been round to check on her but she was always asleep when she visited.

the sound of the doorbell ringing awoke the brunette girl so she trudged to the front door and when she opened it, she groaned at the sight. of all the people that could visit her, why him?

"i'll ignore that groan and pretend like you're excited to see me," jack rolled his eyes, referring to francesca's groan before stepping foot inside the house, inviting himself in.

"emilia told me that you aren't feeling well and i don't know why so i brought an illness survival pack," jack lifted up the plastic carrier bag with supplies in it and the brunette girl furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. he had seen a few of these on pinterest when he googled, 'how to make a girl feel better' earlier in the day.

"i bought a pack of every kind of pad and tampon in the shop that i saw, chocolate, ice cream, hot water bottle, a cosy blanket, painkillers, face masks and some bath bubbles." jack showed her all of the items that he had bought and she was shocked. he was prepared for almost every type of girl situation but she couldn't help but wonder why had he gone through all of this trouble for her?

"you're serious? there's not some catch to this?" she was confused and jack rolled his eyes at her. why was it so hard for her to believe that he was being nice? he cared for her. he couldn't care less about the sex that they had together on a regular basis. it was nice but all he wanted was her company.

"i'm worried about you. you never turn down a party so i figured it must have been bad and i know that emilia is looking after the bakery. speaking of, where are your parents?" jack made his way to the kitchen, not caring if francesca was completely opposed to the idea of him being there.

"it's their anniversary so they've gone to paris for a few days." she followed him to the kitchen, still feeling quite sick but she knew that there was nothing left in her to throw up.

"rule one of a sickness bug is to drink water. can't have you being dehydrated." he looked through all of the cupboards for a glass and the brunette girl could quite easily have told him where they were kept but she didn't because it was much more amusing for her.

"here." she took the glass of water from him and drank it, not realising how thirsty she actually was.

"what do you want or need?" jack turned all of his attention to the smaller girl who picked out the chocolate bars and cosy blanket from the bag and walked through to the living room where she put on 'moana'.

"i'll be back in a second." she walked to the toilet where she threw up once again and this time, she felt like it could be the last.

when francesca walked back into the living room, jack could see how down she was feeling. she had dark circles under her eyes from how tired she was and she was much paler than usual.

"come here." the brunette boy opened his arms up and francesca crawled into them. she didn't care if they were supposed to hate each other, all she needed right now was a hug and that's exactly what jack was offering her.

he wrapped his arms around the girl tightly, kissing the top of her head every so often and running his fingers through her hair in an effort to make her feel better.

halfway through the film, emilia walked into the laurent-thompson residence and found her best friend cuddling with the guy that she supposedly 'hated'.

she made her way to the kitchen, trying not to disturb the pair. she noticed the shopping bag and when she looked through it, she smiled to herself, realising that jack did care.

"jack, do you think you could go out and get fran some chocolate ice cream? she doesn't like strawberry. plus, i kind of need to talk to her." emilia popped her head through the doorway and jack nodded, getting up from the couch and leaving the house temporarily.

"what are you doing? i don't care what ice cream he got me because i'm not eating at the moment." the brunette girl glared at her best friend.

instead of replying, the blonde pulled out packets of three different types of pregnancy test.

"i'm not pregnant." francesca was stubborn. there was no way that she could possibly have a baby inside of her.

"remember friends? ross and rachel used protection as well but condoms aren't always effective." francesca stood up from the couch and grabbed the tests before going to the bathroom.

she was going to show her friend that she wasn't pregnant.

a/n: ooh, drama! this scene between jack and fran is super cute!

what are we thinking of this chapter? cute, is she pregnant or not? unexpected or totally expected?

enjoy and stay safe!

lots of love, e x
