4 weeks pregnant

2 weeks.

2 weeks had passed and you still hadn't gotten your period. You tried to stay calm as your thoughts ran wild. You had no idea what you would even do if you were pregnant. You live in a one bedroom apartment, you have a very busy schedule, you're only 24, and hell, you're not even in a relationship with the baby daddy! Well, he'll only be the baby daddy if you are pregnant, which is really looking to be the case.

Oh god. The baby daddy. Joe. What would you tell Joe!? How would you even tell Joe!? And then there's the whole situation with telling Sam. If you are pregnant with Joes baby, how would you tell Sam!? You can't just say: "Hey Sam, I slept with your best friend and surprise, he knocked me up!"

You started to panic, regretting everything from that one steamy night that ensued between the two of you. it felt so right in the moment—and even the morning after. But right now? Boy did it feel so wrong.

Y/n, calm down. You don't even know that you're pregnant yet! You thought to yourself, trying to ease your worries that you just knew were going to be true. You sat on your bed and pulled out your phone, deciding to seek advice from someone who is going through your exact dilemma. Okay... maybe not exact, but she is currently pregnant, so maybe she could help you out.

You- Hey emma. Do you have a second?

Emma-Oh, hey Y/n! Always, what's up?

You- Well, I won't give any details...yet. It's kind of personal, but I could use your help.

Emma- Everything OK?

You- I don't know yet. I need to know, what were your earliest pregnancy symptoms?

Emma- My earliest pregnancy symptoms? Why do you need to know that?😂

You- because I just do. What were they?

Emma- Omg?! Y/n, are you pregnant?

You- I don't know! That's why I'm asking you about your symptoms so I can evaluate myself lol

Emma- This is crazy. Who's the baby daddy!? I'm so excited. Does Sam know!?

You- As much as I would like to tell you, that is classified information. And no, Sam doesn't know. I don't usually discuss my pregnancy scares with him.

Emma- Makes sense. Well, my earliest symptom was definitely feeling super tired. I always had a metallic taste in my mouth too. I also got really horny over everything Sam did. I just looked at him like he was a big slice of cheesecake😍

You-Oooh, I could go for cheesecake right now

Emma- Me too👅😏
