'Unexpected'

ETHAN POV

I woke up to Jordan in my arms peacefully sleeping it's been 8 months since she told me she loved me and it's been the happiest I've been in years with her these past months have been quiet and drama free Jessica hasn't showed up and Natalie has gotten so good that she can go back to school

Olivia promised to keep a eye on her for Jordan I kissed her forehead and slowly got out of the bed so I could take a shower for my classes

...

I just got home from school and just got inside the house usually I would see Jordan making something to eat or watching TV but today she wasn't to be seen so I went upstairs out room to hear noises from the bathroom so I put my bag down and slowly walked into the bathroom

"Jordan??" I asked her and I heard her throwing up so I went in further to see her by the toilet so I went to hold her hair back and rub her back

I was worried at this point and she finally finished and sat up against the wall she already had a water bottle so she took a swig out of it

"How long has this been going on?" I asked her and she slowly turned to face me

"All day." She answered and the only thought that came to me was...

"Do you think you might be?" I asked her and she instantly burst into tears so I hugged her

"I'm not ready to be a mom Ethan!!" She cried up against my shoulder as I comforted her

"I'll support you in whatever you choose." I was freaking out I'm not ready to be a father either I never had parents that pay attention what if I'm just like them what if I'm like my parents and ignore my children

"Could you get a test?" She asked me and I nodded picking her up and putting her on our bed and went to get a test

...

JORDAN'S POV

I was terrified I could be a mother I'm so young though what if I'm like my father what if I become a horrible mother and fail my child do I want to take that risk do I want to go through the pain of having a child to fail it to have it resent me for all of its life

I haven't even started my life yet I just started my first year of college I just started my life here in LA I want children just not right now

"Jordan?" Ethan said as he came inside our room with a bag with the test I got up and he passed me the bag and I went into the bathroom and took the test and I waited all it took was 2 minutes but it felt like and eternity staring at it waiting and waiting for it to say Pregnant or Not Pregnant It's time to face reality what would we do if I was pregnant and if I'm not how will he react does he even want kids as my timer dinged I picked up the test to read it

Pregnant

I dropped to the floor deciding what to do I could be a mother something I've always wanted but I'm so scared I'm only 20 would my mother be disappointed in me what would I do with college but I know the only way to decide what to do was to talk to Ethan he has a say in what we do going on with my pregnancy I got up off the floor and walked to the door with the test in my hands stopping in front of it shaking thinking the worst about his reaction to this but I got myself to slowly open the door seeing him pacing around the bed but when he heard the door his head snapped to my direction with a look of worry

"It was a p-positive." I blurted out stuttering as I said it and his eyes widened but he kept it together I know he was trying to be calm for me but I see him breaking in the inside

"O-okay what do you want to do?" He asked me nervously both of us knowing we don't know what the hell we want to do it was just so unexpected we can even keep it together

"I don't know Ethan its just so out of nowhere and I just don't know what to do!!" I cried out breaking down from the stress but he was quick to console me

"It's ok I don't know what to do either." He whispered to me voice quivering

"But what if we did keep it?" I asked quietly hearing his breath hitch

"Then I'll be there every step of the way." He said so confidently

"Then maybe we could keep it if you want to?" He stayed silent for a second but when he answered I instantly felt better

"Nothing could make me happier."
