Lost and Found

Chapter 18 - Father

Trevor POV
Brittany looks pale and I know she's not okay. She looks up at me, fear in her eyes and just stands up, sighs heavily and walks off.
"Babe?! Why are you walking away?" I ask, wandering after her.
"Hey" I say pulling her, turning her around to face her
"Hey hey hey. What's going on??" I ask, calmly. She has tears running down her cheeks. I weakly smile, wiping them away from her eyes.
"This Trevor. I don't feel well at all. I haven't for the past 3 days. So ironic because we had sex around 5 days ago and my periods late" she says and I shrug
"You want Chocolate? The notebook? I can go rent it now Hun?" She shakes her head pulling away from me
"What?!" I say confused "That's all I learnt. That when a girls on their period that they are obsessed with chocolates and romanced-based movies?!" I say and she sighs, rolling her eyes
"Trevor. My period is LATE. L.A.T.E. Late. Meaning I should've gotten it like a week ago. That means I could be pregnant...." She says and my heart drops. A million thoughts suddenly race through my mind. What if she is pregnant? I could be a soon-to-be father right now and yet I don't even know it! She sits down in our lounge, clutching her stomach. I sit down next to her and touch her thigh
"Brittany. If you were pregnant, if we could be parents in 9 months, I would be over the moon. I would be so excited to be a dad. And even better be a dad with you. I'm in love with you and having this baby will expand our love and keep our relationship going" she looks at me in the eyes, still crying
"But I'm 24 Trev. I have a boyfriend, I'm not married, I still have a job. I'm an actress. A dancer. And a world-wide known figure to nearly every child in the dance industry. How good of a role model would I be to hem if I had to quit because I got knocked up at 24 and had to devote my time to my family instead of my life long dream?" She says and I sigh, staring into space for a while. It's silent for a moment and suddenly I speak up
"It could just be the food you ate. The Thai? It could've pushed you over the edge" I say and she shook her head
"That wasn't the only time I was sick today. After my scene with Vic, I threw up again" she says and I then think mentally to myself. I need to do something. Something fast. I stand up, grabbing my coat, keys, wallet and phone and go out the door.
"Where are you going?" Britt asks and I shake my head
"To the shops. I'll be back in 10. Just rest and keep calm okay?"
"Trevor, the shops at nearly 8 at night. You never shop, yet this late??!" I shake my head again
"It's okay. I just want to get a few things. See you soon" I say and she smiles weakly, nodding before I set off in my car to the nearest drug store.

Britt POV
Apart from waiting to get if I got the role of Riley on Season 1 of THE NEXT STEP, I don't think I've ever been this scared or nervous in my entire life. There is so much going to on.
"Vic?"
"Brittany! Oh gosh are you okay?" She asks and I sob, partly clearing my tears
"Yeah I'm okay. Just need a friend right now"
"Why what's wrong?!"
"I ummmm....I really do think that I'm....pregnant" I say and there's silence
"I threw up again just a few minutes ago" I add and she sighs
"Oh no. You poor thing. Are you okay? What did you tell Trevor this time?"
"I'm just overwhelmed and extremely nervous and scared. And I told Trevor that I was late and that I might be pregnant"
"And...."
"He left to go and get something at he shops?!"
"Oh. What?!"
"I don't know!" I say and she laughs
"Is he okay with you.....you know pregnant?!" I sigh
"He said he was fine with it. He was over the moon apparently"
"Yay!! Britt that's so good!!" She celebrates
"No it's not! I have to quit dance! I won't be able to do the movie. Frank is going to kill me" i explain and there's silence again
"It's okay babe. Everything will be fine. Don't even worry about it"
"Hey!" She giggles
"I gotta go. I think that's Trevor pulling in. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay bye Brittany"
"Thanks for your help"
"No worries. Bye"
"Bye" I say finally and hen hang up. Trevor comes in holding a brown paper bag and he walks over to me, hanging his coat Over the hanger and putting his phone down. He comes over to me scooping me up and spinning me around. I laugh, sniffling before he turns to me
"What was that for?" I ask and he smirks, getting a small box out of the bag
"It's to let you know that....." He hands me the box
"Whatever the results, I'll be here. I'll be committed and I'll be the father you've always wanted for your kids" he says and I open my mouth a little shocked, looking down at the pregnancy test box
"You went out at now 10 past 8 at night to get me a pregnancy test? I never knew the drug store was open then anyways...." He sighs looking deep into my eyes and holding both my hands
"There was only one way to find out the truth Britt" he says honestly and I smile. I hug him, thanking him for what he did before I lean in and kiss him.

For after all, if I am pregnant or if I'm not.....I will always love him and I am more than grateful and thankful that he may or may not be the father of my baby. I'd rather it be him than any other guy on earth.
