Shit, shit, shit!

Me: Mom!

She eyes me briefly before looking at dumb and dumber. The silence in this place right now is killer. I can't even open my mouth because there's no telling what'll come out. The guys looked just as shocked, we were too busy arguing we didn't hear anyone come in.

Mom: What is this about baby fathers and being pregnant?
Me: Well um our friend had an interesting summer that ended up with her being pregnant. Unfortunately, too much fun lead to her having three different possible baby daddies.

Her eyebrow arches.

Mom: Is this friend you?
Me: No!
Mom: Are you lying?
Me: No!

She looks at the boys and they turn their heads whistling.

Mom: I'm going to assume these are the two. Where's the third?
Me: Haechan.

Silence is scary.

I want her to just holler or flip out or..-

Mom: I'm sorry.

What?

Me: What?
Mom: You didn't feel like you can come and tell me. I'm your mother, if you ever get into a situation I should be the first person you feel like you can come to. But because you didn't I made a mistake.

I shake my head.

Me: I just didn't want to disappoint you. I didn't care about telling you I'm pregnant, it was the father situation.

My eyes begin to sting and she smiles.

Mom: You'll figure it out.

She looks back at them.

Mom: Be honest with me guys do your parents know?
Changkyun: The mayor and a senator? No.
Jungkook: Unfortunately, our parents aren't too forgiving.

She sighs.

Me: Are you going to tell dad?
Mom: If this was my business to tell I would but it's not, it's yours.
Me: Isn't keeping secrets from your husband blasphemous?
Mom: Keeping secrets in a marriage is how we keep our individuality.

So she saids.

Mom: Who else knows?
Me: Maya, Mingi, Jungkook's brother and Haechan's parents.
Mom: Haechan's parents? I'm surprised they didn't call me. Kim loves to gossip.
Me: Haechan pleased for them not to.

I can tell she's still in shock, who wouldn't be knowing their daughter is a walking maury show story.

Mom: I want to have a dinner with all of you so we can talk about this a little more in depth. Whenever you tell your dad we can.
Me: You know mom, you can tell him!
Mom: Nope.
Me: Don't be mean.
Mom: Not my circus not my monkey.
Me: Mom!

The boys laugh.

Mom: Are you keeping the baby?

I nod.

Mom: I'm going to be a grandma, wow. I honestly seen Maya having a baby first. Her and Mingi are so in love you never know when they're just going to skip down the aisle.
Me: They're in love but they're also smart. Being pregnant is not fun.

She smiles sympathetically.

Mom: Oh trust me I know, it weighs down on you not just physically but mentally as well. That's why it's important to have all the support you can. Same with you two, I'm only a call away when things gets rough.

Both their eyes widen.

Mom: I originally came here to check on you because you haven't been answering my calls. A mother's intuition knows when something is up with her child, I just didn't think it was baby father central.

Yeah that's something she would've never guessed.

Mom: Now if you don't excuse me, I'm going to go home and have the biggest bottle of wine. Love you honey.

That went well, I think.

Maya and Mingi both stare at me in shock.

Maya: And she didn't hit you with her shoe?
Me: Nope! I was waiting on it too!

She leans into the couch.

Mingi: So this is good right?
Me: It's is. The next step is telling dad.
Maya: Trust me once she drinks that wine she's going to do it for you. Dad will definitely be indifferent.
Me: I'm prepared for that, as I said before they can't all be winners.

They can't be winners but if he would pretend for the sake of all of this that'd be great. Like clockwork someone knocks on our door. Haechan and Mark both rush in.

Haechan: Your mom called my mom. You told them?
Me: More like she walked in on Changkyun, Jungkook and I arguing.
Mark: Why were you guys arguing?
Me: They don't want me dating while I'm pregnant. Which I'm not! Wooyoung and I are going to the movies but just as friends.

Mingi snickers.

Mingi: Trust me I know Wooyoung and you're definitely not going as friends.
Me: Um yes we are! I laid perfect boundaries.
Haechan: He's a womanizer.
Me: Do you know him?
Haechan: I know enough.
Mark: He doesn't even go to our school and there's rumor all over the campus.

I deadpan.

Me: Exactly rumors.
Haechan: I agree with number two and number three.
Mark: Number two and three?
Haechan: I refuse to acknowledge their real names.
Me: You're all overreacting, I'll be safe and so will the baby.

Wooyoung and I had been texting everyday leading up to today. The smell of movie theatre popcorn excited me and the baby at the same time. Wooyoung looks extra good today and he's been smiling ever since he picked me up.

Wooyoung: Two medium popcorns, two cokes, a box of sour patches and some twizzlers please.

Like the gentleman he is, he pays for everything. One thing about me I'm not going to past up free stuff. I am not one of those girlies sorry.

I'm pretty sure all of my snacks will be gone by the time the previews are over.

Wooyoung: I'm happy you came today.
Me: Of course.

He smiles at me and the lights darken.

As the announcement to silence phones come on there's loud whispering from two rows behind. I turn my head and almost faint.

All three baby fathers glare at me through the darkness.
