Third Person’s POV
Everyone stood there in the living room, in an awkward silence, before Sophie decided to take the pregnancy test off James’ hands and walked away
“wow wow, wait!” Robert quickly went after her “What’s going on Soph? What’s wrong?!” he asked, worried.
“Robert, would you drop it for now? Just let me be ok?” She ran upstairs
Robert looked back at Emma and a very confused and bothered James.
“What has she gotten into?” Robert worriedly asked his girlfriend.
Taking a deep breath, and nervously, Emma answered “Robert, I don’t know for sure, could we just drop it now and have a nice dinner?” She turned to James “I am sorry about all this, James”
He smiled “Oh, no, it’s alright… I mean… It’s fine…” he whispered
Robert stood there, still surprised with the entire situation. The first thing that went through his mind was some sick asshole that got his friend pregnant.
“Robert…” Emma approached him “Why don’t we all go to the kitchen and make some dinner…”
He looked down “Did she talk to you?”
“Robert. Let her be now, ok? I’ll talk to her in a second…” she nervously said “Let’s start dinner ok? You’re pressuring too much”
“Oh…” he whispered “Alright… sorry”
“And we have guests so… we’ll talk later” She whispered in his ear, before kissing him.
“Alright, sorry” he whispered “So… uuh… James, I’m gonna start some dinner, how are your cooking skills?” Robert smiled
“I’ll meet you there in a minute, ok?” Emma said, watching both guys going to the kitchen.
Her heart was running the marathon.
She has no idea how she could handle it and… lie to Robert?
Damn. She thought I have to tell him…
Knocking at Sophie’s bedroom door, she entered and found her in the bed, an apologetic look on her face.
“I’m so sorry, Emma” she whispered
Emma, otherwise, let her body fall onto the bed, breaking down “He’s going to… freak out…”
“Emma…” Sophie whispered “You would have to tell him anyway. It’s better now than later…”
She hid her face “The worst thing is not that I know he’ll freak out. It’s that I don’t feel ready myself…”
“Shhh, baby. You’ll be a wonderful mommy” she hugged her friend “Hey… c’mon, you can’t get yourself with red and puffy eyes now! He’s downstairs… and he’s thinking I will be a mommy!”
Emma couldn’t help but smile “You’re such a horrible friend”
“Yes I am” Sophie smiled
“Will you come downstairs to dinner?” Emma said “I told him we’d talk later… I’ll have to tell him later…”
“Yes you do have to do that” Sophie wiped Emma’s tears “And it will be just fine. It is better this way, if you think better.”
“I know…” Emma looked down, before taking a deep breath “Let’s go and help them”
“Ok, I’m starving”
“Am I red?” Emma asked
“No, dear, you’re gorgeous” Sophie said as both left the room “Talking about gorgeous, who the hell Robert brought here today?!”
