Eliza wants 'cool aunt' privileges


(Theo P.O.V)

It's gotten to a point where I have to tell Angie, she'll start to notice soon. I pinched my nose, sighing. I had a bowl of oatmeal in front of me, because I just really wanted oatmeal. Angie was getting changed for school but I didn't have morning classes so I just stayed in my pajamas, scarfing down my oatmeal.

"Hey babe have you seen my computer?" Angie walked into the kitchen, tugging a comb through her hair.

"I think it's by the door."

"Thanks, Theo." She smiled warmly, grabbing her computer and shoving it in her bag. "See you when class is out!"

I watched her leave, a wave of nausea hitting me with the realization that I had to tell her soon, and I couldn't just avoid it anymore. I leaned back in my chair and sighed, pulling out my phone.

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Hey can we talk?

NowSatisfied: I'm in class

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Afterwards?

NowSatisfied: Of course! What do you need to talk about?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: You'll see

NowSatisfied: Wow how specific

NowSatisfied: I need to go now the teacher's gonna notice

I smiled and set my phone down, worry rising in me. I was scared, what if Angie thought I cheated on her? What if she broke up with me? How would I support myself with college and a kid? I tugged at my hair and pulled my legs against my chest.

I love Angelica so much. I would be shattered if she left me. Also, I would have to raise a kid alone as a broke college student, which probably wouldn't go to well and I bet I'd drop out. I know Alex would help me, even though he's saving up his money for god knows what.

What if Angelica stopped loving me? What is she didn't want a kid and broke up with me and left? I know we live in a dorm together, but her father's loaded (he sells engagement rings) so it's possible that she'd be able to get another dorm. What would I do if she left me.

I felt my breathing speed up and I started sweating. I pulled out my phone to talk to Eliza because I'd texted her the other day in a panic telling her I was pregnant. I mean she was majoring in nursing, I assumed she'd know what the she was doing.

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Hey Eliza is it a good time or...?

Elizard: Yeah what's up?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Besides the obvious? Nothing much

Elizard: Wow little Theo is being snappy? What's happening?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: ......

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: :/

Elizard: Ok ok I get it

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: How do I tell Angie? What if she thinks I cheated on her? What if she dumps me? I'll have to drop out of college!

Elizard: Calm down

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: How am I supposed to do that?!

Elizard: idk you're the psychology student!

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: That's not helping Liza

Elizard: Sorry

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: No it's fine I'm just worried

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: What if she hates me?

Elizard: Oh trust me Angie loves you so much

Elizard: She has never looked at anyone else like she looks at you

Elizard: None of her other partners got the hugs and kisses you get

Elizard: So get off your butt and go tell her, then tell me what you're naming the baby

Elizard: K?

I smiled slightly reading her messages. Eliza was a good friend, and she sure knew how to calm me down, if only a little bit.

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: I don't even know if I'm going to keep it

Elizard: Well if you do I claim full 'cool aunt' privileges

Elizard: Peggles is the gay aunt that you just can't not like, but I wanna be the 'cool aunt' who may or may not have heart problems

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Jesus Eliza how do you make me feel better?

Elizard: magic.

Elizard: Alex is practically your brother, so he's your kid's honorary uncle

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: He'd be a great honorary uncle

Elizard: He'd be that uncle you can visit and talk to about your problems

Elizard: Which means that when John and Alex get married John would also be your kid's honorary uncle

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Wow Liza how do u know that they're getting married?

Elizard: Oh please, it's obvious

Elizard: Anyways James is also the kid's honorary uncle

Elizard: Idk how James would succeed at that but I think he'd fare pretty well

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Jesus Christ Eliza you need to stop

Elizard: never.

Elizard: I think if it's a boy you should call it Phillip or something and if it's a girl it would be Theodosia Jr.

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: I'm not naming my kid after me

Elizard: Y not? Lots of ppl do it

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Yea I guess

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Still no tho

Elizard: Aww but y not?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: I have no response to this

Elizard: Ha! I win!

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: No you don't

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: I just have no response to your comment

Elizard: So basically I win

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: No you didn't

Elizard: Shall we being Alex into this?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Oh god no Eliza

*Elizard has added  IneedmoreCoffee*

IneedmoreCoffee: Oh god no.

IneedmoreCoffee: What now?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Idk, ask Liza

Elizard: I need a lawyer

IneedmoreCoffee: Ok I'm out, fix it yourself.

*IneedmoreCoffee has left the chat*

Elizard: Aww :(

Elizard: Oh well c u Theo

Elizard: I the teacher's gonna notice if i keep texting

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: You've been in class this whole time?

Elizard: Yup! Now bye!

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: Liza?

YourNeighborhoodTherapist: ...bye

I put it down and leaned back in my chair and sighed, getting up to go over to my laptop when I heard clicking in the lock and froze. Angie stepped into the room, pulling off her coat and setting down her bag. I watched my girlfriend until she stood up and smiled at me, walking over and hugging me. I hugged back hesitantly and she pulled back, plopping down on the couch, motioning for me to join, which I did.

"What did you wanna talk about?" She asked kindly.

"It's uhh..." I looked away, fear rising in me. "I... I'm pregnant."

She looked at me, head cocked slightly then her eyes widened. "Who? When?"

"I'm sorry I didn't want t-to he... please don't leave m-me Angie I'm s-sorry." I stuttered, tears prickling my eyes.

"Why would I leave you?" She hugged me tightly. "I love you, I don't care wether or not you're pregnant, you're my Theodosia."

"I..." I felt the tears stream down my cheeks. "I can g-get an a-abortion if y-you–"

"Shh." She pulled back and smiled warmly. "Do you want to keep the baby?"

I nodded sheepishly and wiped the tears from my eyes, only to have them replaced with new ones.

"Well then we keep it." She grinned and hugged me again. I leaned into her embrace and let out a shaky sigh.

Thank god Angie was ok with it, but what now?
