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: 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?
