I’ve no idea how he’d react to the news.

The uncertainty gnawed at me, especially if he wanted kids.

I didn't know if he even wanted any involvement with me.

I knew that if he didn’t want kids, I would need support to raise this child growing inside of me. And the only person I could turn to for that support was Allan, my best friend.

But he’s Alexander’s brother, too.

Did I have the courage to tell him the truth?

Could I admit to my carelessness and that it wasn’t just some random man on a dating app but his brother I’d been with?

A silent observer of my turmoil, Teddy followed me around the apartment, his tail flicking back and forth as if mirroring my internal struggle.

I picked him up and cradled him in my arms, seeking solace in his furry warmth.

As I continued to pace, I couldn't help but think about my plans and aspirations.

A baby was never part of the picture… until now.

I had career goals, dreams of traveling the world, and a desire for independence.

If Alexander didn’t want kids, having a baby alone would derail all that…

The weight of the situation pressed down on me, and I felt a sense of isolation.

I wish I had someone to talk to, someone who could provide guidance and reassurance.

But the fear of judgment and the stigma surrounding getting pregnant in this situation made it hard to reach out to anyone, even Allan.

I stopped in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at my reflection. My face was flushed, my eyes filled with tears that I refused to let fall. I had to tell someone, and I had to do it soon.

The thought of telling Allan weighed heavily on my mind.

He’d always been there for me through thick and thin. But this was different.

I was ashamed of my recklessness and didn't want to burden him with my mistakes.

What if he saw me differently after this?

I sat on the edge of my bed, still cradling Teddy, my cat, in my arms. He purred softly as if trying to comfort me.

At that moment, I realized I couldn’t keep this secret from Allan for much longer. But I was still scared of what it would mean for his relationship with his brother and our friendship.

Alexander

Two Weeks Later

Iraced as I thought about Elizabeth and how much I liked her. She was extraordinary, and I wanted to do something special for her. Something that would sweep her off her feet.

That's when an audacious idea crossed my mind – renting out Disneyland for a day. It’s extravagant, but it'd be worth every penny for Elizabeth.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number, my fingers trembling with excitement as I waited for her to answer.

"Hello?" Her voice, sweet and melodious, greeted me.
