Y/N stood shaking in her bathroom, dropping the white and blue stick onto the counter. Positive, it read.
For a week or two, she had constantly gotten morning sickness, but she didn’t think much of it. That is until her period was late, as in two weeks late. Everything was aligning. She felt more tired than usual, had to use the restroom more often, and her unstable emotions.
Only a couple days before she noticed herself feeling sick, she slept with Brad. Y/N met him at a frat party and hooked up with him. It wasn’t her first time at a party, but it was definitely her first time having a one night stand. She was sure that they used protection. Bloody hell, she was even on birth control.
Tears rolled down her rosy cheeks, her bottom lip trembling. She was a single mother at the age of 20. She wanted to do so much more in her life. Y/N placed a hand on her stomach, feeling a wave of comfort wash over her. She was obviously going to keep her baby, single mother or not.
The only struggle left was telling her family.
She washed her face, making sure she looked decent before telling them the news. She slid the pregnancy test into the pocket of her hoodie, bringing it with her to reveal the truth. Her hands were trembling, and she took short breaths.
She decided to tell her beloved brothers first. She dragged them all into one her room, shutting the door behind her.
“Y/N/N, what’s going on?” Sam engaged.
“Is everything alright, darling?” Tom observed your trembling.
“You’re not dying, are you?” Harry burst.
“No, I’m not dying, Harry,” Y/N rolled her eyes, “I have something really important to tell you guys, and I wanted to tell the three of you divs first.”
“How about mom and dad? And Paddy?” Harry asked.
“I’ll tell them after, but I’m not sure if I want Paddy to be involved. He’s still young,” she sighed, “Anyways, please don’t freak out when I tell you guys and make sure not to make a big deal out of it.” Y/N was about to tell them when she hesitated, “Also, if you guys hate me after this, I’m sorry, I hope you’ll still see me as your sister.”
The three boys looked nervous and concerned, nodding for you to go on.
“I-I’m pregnant,” Y/N swallowed, pulling out the test in her pocket.
Pure silence spread throughout the room. The boys’ jaws dropped, but no word, not even a sound, peeped from them.
Tears started to fill Y/N’s eyes, thinking that they hated her, “I’m sorry, I should’ve been more careful. I shouldn’t have even slept with that guy. Please don’t hate me.”
“We don’t hate you, Y/N/N,” Tom finally said.
“Yeah, we love you and at least you used protection, right?” Sam looked at her sternly.
“Yes, yes, of course,” she giggled, relieved that she didn’t let down her brothers.
“I call being the godfather!” Harry shouted, raising his arm.
The three of you shushed Harry, hoping that your parents hadn’t heard.
“Now, I’ve got to go tell mom and dad. Wish me luck,” Y/N said, walking to the door.
“Y/N! Just know, we’re here for you. We’ll help you with every step of this journey, alright?” Tom warmly smiled.
She smiled back, nodding and whispering “thank you” before exiting the room, leaving the boys to themselves.
The reaction her parents gave her left her relieved. She was glad that her parents didn’t judge her for the accidental pregnancy. They told her that they would be there for her through the entire thing. Dom wanted her to make sure it was positive by taking multiple other tests, and Nikki just wanted her beautiful daughter to be happy.
She did as she was told and took multiple other tests. When she came to see the multiple negative tests, she felt at ease, yet disappointed. Although the child she was convinced she had wasn’t actually there, she felt upset that there wasn’t someone else with her to comfort her. Of course, she had her family, but having her own child felt like a different comfort. A feeling that couldn’t be described.
Turns out, the “symptoms” she experienced weren’t really symptoms. She wasn’t late for her period, it came later on in the day. The morning sickness and fatigue were from her consistent partying. Finally, her unstable emotions, as well as her urge to use the bathroom more often, were just a sign that her period was coming.
That night, she asked for her whole family to gather in the living room. They already knew what it was about, but the possibility of her pregnancy being positive or negative was still edging them on. Paddy was confused, not understanding anything about the situation, as he was under-informed. They were bickering between each other, excited to hear the news.
“After many, many pregnancy tests, 30 to be exact, I am...” she stalled, increasing the suspense.
“What? You are what?” Harry quipped.
“I’m not pregnant! I can still do everything I’ve dreamed of and find a husband who will help me raise my child, if I ever get one that is,” Y/N was glowing, “Although, this is quite disappointing. I don’t know why, though,” she frowned.
“Oh, darling, it’s a sign of motherhood. You already loved that baby in your stomach, but now that you know it’s not true, you’re disappointed. No worries, though. I’m sure you’ll find someone soon,” Nikki gently rubbed Y/N’s arm.
“Now, now-” Dom started, only to be stopped by Nikki.
“She an adult now, let her live her life, will you?” Nikki rolled her eyes.
“It’s okay, dad, I won’t be looking for that for a while. I’m going to fulfill everything on my bucket list first,” Y/N comforted her father.
“Anyone want to watch Onward?” Tom asked, breaking away from the subject.
Everyone nodded in agreement, some choosing their own seat and some going to the pantry to grab snacks for the family. As everything settled down, a calming silence washed over them and the movie began to play.
Out of nowhere, Harry asked, “Will I still get to be the godfather of your child, though?”
“Of course, Harold, of course,” she laughed.
The entire family was laughing and she took a mental picture of the moment, never wanting to forget her loving and accepting family.
