i feel a rush of excitement and fear so intense that it shoots up my entire body.
"a baby?"
"yes, gabriella. a baby"
i walk up to brian , holding the pregnancy test in his hands.
even though i believe him, i must see the results for myself.
he hands the white stick to me, and i can see the double line before my eyes.
"i'm pregnant"
the moments of fear i had leading up to this seem to dissipate.
pure joy is all i can feel now.
i don't realize that i'm crying until a droplet hits the stick i'm still clutching onto.
"honey, this is amazing"
brian walks up to me and kisses me on the cheek before bringing me in for a hug.
"i'm so happy. i can't believe i'm going to be a father"
whatever dopamine-fantasy i was in is instantly dislodged.
brian? the father? could it be?
this whole time, i thought that reid was undoubtedly the father.
but now that brian has planted that idea in my mind, i start to think there could be a chance.
frantically, my mind traces back to the time where me and brian slept together.
counting the weeks, i try to remember when exactly it was that time the row of us had a little rendezvous.
that couldn't possibly be when—
i feel a tightening in my stomach at the possibility.
the window between the time i slept with reid and the time i think i slept with brian is too close for comfort.
no
the fear of what to do in this mess becomes too much to handle.
i pull away from brian.
"gabriella? is everything okay?"
