"m'kay, so we need more condoms, birth control pills, your migraine medicine, blood thinner medication... anything else?" Brooke asks, going over the list of things she needs to pick up at the pharmacy.
"don't think so" Tim replies, sitting on the couch, waiting for the second half of the Rams game to start.
"alright, I'll be right back then, enjoy the game" Brooke smiles, kissing his cheek before standing up.
"you sure you don't want me to go?" Tim asks, watching his girlfriend walk over to get the keys from the counter.
"yeah, you enjoy your game" Brooke assures him.
"okay, be safe" Tim calls.
"of course" Brooke smiles before leaving.

"alright, now just the condoms" Brooke mutters to herself, looking down at the cart.
She moves through the aisles, finding the condoms. They've rearranged the store since Brooke has been here last and the condoms are now right next to the pads and tampons.
Brooke doesn't think anything of it as she grabs the condoms until her eyes fall on her favorite brand of tampons. Then it hits her.
Her period is usually the last week of every month and it's on a pretty solid cycle. But she didn't have her period three weeks ago like she should've.
"shit" Brooke whispers to herself.

The cashier gives her a sympathetic look when she sees that Brooke is purchasing birth control pills, condoms, tampons but also two pregnancy tests.
Brooke ignores the look, her mind spinning.
They've always been so careful... maybe the birth control pills changed her cycle?
But she's been on her birth control for ten years, there's no way it's just decided to change her cycle now.
She pushes the thought process out of her mind, determined to just take the test and to get all of her fears quelled by reality.
Periods can be finicky and hers is just being finicky, right?

"hey, how'd it go?" Tim asks when she returns home.
"I'm late" Brooke blurts out, putting the bags on the counter.
"late for what?" Tim's eyebrows furrow, standing up.
Brooke doesn't need to answer, holding up a pregnancy test. Tim is quiet for a moment, a million emotions running through his head but finally he speaks.
"okay, come on" Tim says, walking over to Brooke and guiding her to the bathroom.
He turns on the tap water and lets it flow, knowing it can help people pee. Then he opens the box, quickly glancing over the instructions.
Pee on the stick and the results should appear five minutes later.
One line is negative, two lines is positive.
"do you want me to leave for this part?" Tim asks, turning to Brooke.
Brooke doesn't answer, her eyes wide.
"hey, hey, I got you, no matter what this test says, okay?" Tim assures her, walking over to her and cupping her face in his hand.
"b-but what if-?" Brooke can't finish her sentence.
"then I'll be right here" Tim promises.
Brooke's hand comes up and holds one of his wrists.
"I can leave to give your privacy when you pee on the stick or I can stay, which would you prefer baby girl?" Tim asks.
