[Karsyn]

I woke up and headed down to my and Emmileigh's room to see her and Donnie asleep in bed. I wasn't sure if I should interrupt them, but I needed to get changed and ready for the day. Plus I wanted to use my laptop and work on some work stuff.

Work stuff. That sounded weird to say.

"Karsyn?" I heard someone ask as I stood in the bathroom, brushing my teeth. I opened the door to see Emmileigh outside and I moved so that she could come in. "I haven't told him."

"Em, you need to," I said as she nodded. "I mean, like I said, it could be a false positive, but you at least need to let him know what's going on."

"I will, I promise," Emmileigh said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "You're up early."

"I created a incorporation yesterday," I said as she stared at me. "I did it in California and since I don't have a place yet, they are sending the paperwork to Nick's place. Then I can get one done in New York. That way, when you apply for your work visa or whatever it is you have to get, you can put down that you work for Fearless, Inc."

"Fearless, Inc.?"

"Yep, named it after the Taylor Swift song," I said as she smiled. "What?"

"Having the information sent to Nick's?" she said as I stopped brushing my teeth and looked at her. "You're so going to move in with him."

"No, I'm not. I needed a California address for the forms," I said as she nodded. "I don't think I could be around him 24/7, for my sanity and his."

"Because you can't keep your hands off of him?"

"I can't help everything he does is hot and cute to me," I muttered as she cracked up laughing. "I'll change the address once I get a place."

"Does he know you're going to get a place in L.A.?" she asked as I shrugged.

"I figure he probably has an idea since I did the company in California, but no I haven't told him yet. I was also wanting to look at places online today too before heading to the arena," I said, hearing someone knock on the door.

Is anybody in there? I need to take a piss.

Emmileigh and I looked at one another, laughing at Donnie on the other side of the door.

Karsyn left to go meet Nick for breakfast, leaving me alone with Donnie.

Which left me nervous. I didn't want to tell him about the positive test, but I knew deep down I had to. I just didn't know how.

I left the bathroom after having a shower to find Donnie lounging on the bed fully dressed. We hadn't really spoken once Karsyn had left because I'd locked myself in the bathroom to shower and get dressed.

"I thought we could head on out for the morning, just me and you. If you're feeling better." Donnie sat up as I sat on the edge of the bed.

"Um, yea ok. I don't mind." I pulled on a pair of socks before sitting up next to Donnie.

"You sure you're ok? You don't seem yourself."

I looked at Donnie and tried to give him a smile, but I knew I wasn't fooling anyone. "I'm ok.. just. I have something playing on my mind."

"Have I done something wrong?"

"No.. no.." I shook my head, tears filling my eyes. "..um.." I felt my bottom lip quiver before I looked down. "I'm sorry."

"For what? Emmi, what's wrong?" He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me against him.

"I messed up. I messed up big time," I sniffled before breaking down. Donnie just held me, not even knowing what had gotten me so upset.

"Babe, what happened?" He tilted my head up and wiped my tears away.

"I... I did a test.. and it was positive and I'm scared because my periods are never late and I don't want you to hate me," I blurted it all out before closing my eyes and sobbing. I waited for the moment when Donnie would get up and leave, but he didn't.

He pulled me closer and held me.

"Oh Emmi. Have you arranged to see a doctor?"

I shook my head. "No. I don't want to. Not here. Theres too many fans and too many people around. I want to see someone I trust." I felt Donnie kiss the top of my head.

"I know, but this is bugging you, I can tell. Why don't I arrange for us to see a doctor."

"Us?" I looked up at him, wide eyed.

"Yes, us. Unless you're trying to tell me that it's Joey's?"

"What!! Hell fucking no," I snapped and pulled back to glare at him.

"Ok, I'm sorry.. I know I just.. had to ask."

I shook my head. "Ugh." I went to climb off the bed but Donnie grabbed my waist, pulling me back.

"I'm sorry. Look, we need to get you checked out. Do you want me to find a doctor?"

I looked at Donnie and sighed. "Fine, but I don't want to see just anyone. They have to be trustworthy."

Donnie nodded. "They will be. I promise."

I nodded and went to climb off the bed again, but Donnie kept his grip on me, making me sigh.

"I love you, Emmi. No matter what the outcome is."

I turned to face him. "Really? Even if I'm pregnant and having your baby?"

Donnie nodded. "Even if your pregnant and having my baby. It doesn't change anything."

"Promise?"

"I promise you, Emmi."

I felt the tears come on again and crawled back up the bed next to Donnie, who held me tightly.

Maybe everything would be ok.
