Charlotte is pregnant

“Wait a minute... are you pregnant, Charlotte?” Charlotte's face paled as she struggled to find her voice. "I... I don't know," she stammered. The possibility had never crossed her mind until now. Her thoughts raced back to that night—the intimacy, the forgotten precautions.

"Charlotte, when was the last time you had your period?" Rebecca asked gently. Charlotte's mind went blank for a moment. She tried to recall the dates, but everything seemed hazy. "I think it's been over two month," she whispered, more to herself than to Rebecca. Rebecca reached out and grabbed Charlotte's hand. "We need to find out for sure. Let's get a test. Come on, I'll go with you."

Charlotte and Rebecca walked to the nearest pharmacy in silence. The usually short distance felt longer than usual. Charlotte’s heart pounded with uncertainty. In the store, they found the pregnancy tests. Rebecca handed one to Charlotte without a word. They paid quickly and left, the small box feeling heavy in Charlotte's hands
