Trigger warning: mentions sex

(Y/n) POV

I come home from the drug store. In my hand I have a small container on pregnancy tests. After our first time I haven't had my period. It was only last month so I may have just skipped a period.

I go inside of the apartment. The box of tests is under my sweater. I check to see if anyone is there. I see Evan sitting on the sofa. I feel a rush of guilt plummet to the bottom of my stomach. He sees me and walks over.

'Where were you?' He says while smiling.
'The corner store.' I tell him.
'Why? Didn't you just go the other day?' He asks.
'I just needed to buy some- uh- tampons.' I say. If he believes this he'll never suspect that I just bought pregnancy tests.
'Oh.' He blushes. 'I'll- uh- let you sort that out on your own.' He says going back to his spot on the sofa.

I walk into the bathroom and take out a test.

Do not insert the test into your vagina.

Wow.

I take the test and hide it under the cabinets. When I walk out I'm shaking quite a bit.
'You okay?' Evan asks me when he sees me shaking.
'Yes. W-why wouldn't I b-be.' I say.
'Because you're shaking harder than I thought possible. Not to mention you're pale and sweaty.' He says putting his hand on my forehead. 'Huh. You're not warm.'
'I'm going to check something.' I say walking into the bathroom.

I take the test out but don't look at it. I sit on the edge of the bathtub holding the test.

I sit there for five minutes before I hear a knock at the door.
'Come in.' I say sitting on the test. Evan walks in.
'Are you okay, (Y/n)? You don't seem like yourself.' He says.
'I'm fine.' I say and I nod my head. He doesn't believe me. He holds a hand out. I don't take it.
'(Y/n). Come with me.' He says.
'I'm good. Thanks.' I push his hand down to his side. He picks me up. 'Put me down, Ev!' I yell.

'What's that?' He says picking up the test. I instantly began bawling.
'It's- it's nothing.'
'Why didn't you tell me!'
'Y-y-you d-don't understand.' I say shaking again. He throws the test in the sink. 'Where are you going?' I ask as he walks out of the bathroom to the coat rack.
'The park. Don't come with me. Don't show up there later. I'll be back by seven.' He says.

He leaves. I run back to the bathroom and pick up the test.

Negative.

Oh. My. God.

I run into the kitchen. I grab the phone and dial Evan's number. He doesn't answer. I don't know what to do.

I do what anyone should do at this moment. I go to the park. I know Evan said not to follow him, but this is important. This could effect our relationship for forever.

Evan POV

At the park.

I'm sat on a park bench. I'm not crying. I'm smiling.

At first I was pissed, but the more I think about it, the less shitty it seems. We're at a decent point in our relationship. We aren't the fighting type. We care for each other and take care of Alice together. We'll have the help of Jenifer and Dick.

I see the way (Y/n) looks at Alice. She is the best thing that has ever happened to (Y/n). When Alice cries, (Y/n) tears up slightly and comforts her until she stops. If anything were to ever happen to Alice, (Y/n) would be heartbroken.

I'm not happy about the situation, but I'm not angry either.

(Y/n) POV

I walk up to Evan who's sitting on a park bench.
'Evan?' I say. He looks up at me. He doesn't look mad or sad. 'Can we talk?'
'Yes. Please. Sit.' He says. I sit next to him and he gives me a big hug. 'I've thought about it. We can do this. I know that we're young, but we'll make this work.' He says.
'Evan?'
'Yes?'
'Please listen to me.' I say. I take the test out of my pocket. 'Neither of us looked closely.'

I hand him the test.
'If I were pregnant it would have two lines. I should have said that earlier.' I say frowning.
'Oh?' He says. 'I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I lashed out like that. I didn't even look for the line. I just got angry because you hid that from me.'

We sit together like this for a few minuets before I can't contain my thoughts.
'Ev?' I say.
'Yes?'
'I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept such a big secret.'
'It's okay. Just don't keep things like this from me, okay?'
'Okay.' I reply. He kisses my forehead.
'How long did you think you were pregnant?'
'Two weeks. I missed my period. It was supposed to come last week but it didn't. The more I think about the more it makes sense.' I tell him. 'I've been so stressed this week. Usually when I'm this stressed I skip a period. I also haven't been eating much this week. A lot of weight loss also makes my period skip around.'

'You've been that stressed? I'm so sorry. What can I do to help?' Evan asks after processing what I've said.
'I don't know. I guess I really should have been eating and relaxing a bit more.'

'Can you think of anything that would be relaxing for you?'
'The only thing I can think of is maybe helping a bit more with Alice.' His face falls. 'No! That's not what I meant. You help SO much with Alice. What I should have said was 'give me a small break from Alice'. That sounds bad too, doesn't it?

Evan laughs.
'It's fine. I know what you mean. I know you love Alice more than anything, but we all need a small break sometimes.'

We stay on that bench until the sun goes down hours later. When we walk into the apartment Alice runs up to us and hugs our legs.
'Hello, Ally.' I say giggling.
'What's for dinner?' She asks me.

'Ya know what?' Evan asks her. 'I think we might order a pizza tonight.'
'Yay!' Alice squeals. She runs off and plays with her teddy bear.

'Thank you Evan.' I say watching Alice like a hawk.
'No problem. Um- you don't think that Jenifer could answer the door when the pizza gets here. Do you?'
'Well I'm definitely not answering it.' I giggle. 'I'll ask her.'
'Go on and take a shower or get in pajamas.'
'Okay. I could get used to this.' I giggle.
He was trying really hard to make me feel happier and less stressed. He actually cared. Not many people did.

I put on some warm pajamas and tie my hair up on top of my head. I rest on the bed and relax. I don't get up until I hear the door bell and Jenifer's voice.

'Pizza is here!' Jenifer yells after shutting the door. I walk into the kitchen. Evan smiles at me and walks over.
'I like seeing you smile like this, (Y/n).' He whispers into my ear. I smile wider. 'Yep. Just like that.'

We all eat dinner and Evan says something I didn't expect.
'Um- Jenifer?' He asks.
'Yes, Evan?' She says looking at him.
'Do you think that Alice could sleep in your room tonight?' He asks her.

Jenifer raises an eyebrow and smirks at me. I instantly blush.

'No! That's not what I meant.' He says, blushing too. 'Is just that (Y/n) has been a bit stressed lately and I don't think Alice waking up at four a.m. asking for breakfast would help her.'

Jenifer nods.
'Sure.' She tells Evan. She turns to me. 'Why have you been stressed lately?'
'Um- I'm not too sure, actually.' I say truthfully.
'Well if you need something just let me know.'
'Yes, ma'am.'

Ten P.M.

Going to be at ten is a nice change. Instead of doing dishes and tidying Alice's toys, I can snuggle with Evan. We're unclothed and only our heads are out of the covers. But we're not doing anything sexual. We're just cuddling. I love it.

Evan isn't trying to do anything. I decided that I wanted to sleep without clothes on. He did too. But neither of us did anything else. I like to think that we are taking thing slow, but I thought I was pregnant after our first time. So I guess we aren't taking things slow.

Evan POV

We're snuggled up in the bed. No clothes. There isn't anything between
(Y/n)'s body and mine. I like it this way. When I saw she didn't want to sleep in pajamas I asked if she was hopping to do anything. She told me 'no'.

I was disappointed at first. It's hard to look at her body and not do anything sexual with it. Once I got undressed and began cuddling with her, all of my disappointment left. She was so warm and in the chilly apartment it felt really nice.

She was happy and that made me feel good. I was able to make her happy. I thought Alice was the only thing that could make her happy, but I can too.

We fell asleep together and it was only us. Only us. No one else.

Please read~A/n: Sorry chapter 11 was short. I hope that this longer chapter makes up for it. After seeing DEH I feel so much more appreciation for the show and the characters. I hope that you enjoy this book. If you have any suggestions for the next chapter you can't let me know. Also, I want to know if you want me to end the book here and possibly make a sequel or to just keep going.

Thank y'all so much! Bye!♥️
