Saving Her Billionaire

She did not want to be too hard on herself but there was nothing that she could do about it. She was depressed, she had had her heart broken yet again, and to top it all off, Phoebe had not gotten her period this month.

She had been immediately worried after Nate had left, but that had been because he had left her in a rather expensive hotel room and she had no idea how she would be able to pay for it. She thought of sneaking out somehow, but then realized that Nate had paid for the room before they got in. Of course he had. You couldn’t get into such an expensive hotel room without paying in advance. In fact, you could not get into any hotel room, expensive or otherwise, without paying in advance, that was just not how things worked. She had just been depressed and reactionary after what had happened with Nate, and she had not known how to properly think because of the fact that the man that she had just gotten so emotionally intimate with had looked like he was having a nervous breakdown right after having s*x with her.

However, she had not worried about the fact that he had come inside her until a whole day after they had had s*x. She had hurriedly taken a morning after pill, but she had known that in order for the pill to be as effective as possible she would have had to take it the morning after she had had s*x. She knew that the pill was not going to be as effective as it was supposed to be, but she decided that there was nothing she could do. She would just have to wait and see if the pill was going to be as effective as she hoped it would be.

She missed her period. She panicked, of course, but decided that it was too early to think about all of that. She was going to have to wait and see if her period was simply late which it often was. However, a week passed and then a further week, but her period still did not begin. She started to feel like something horrible was about to happen.

It had been a month, now, since she had had s*x with Nate and her period had not arrived. She was terrified. She did not know what to do, so she decided to take a pregnancy test to start off with.

She took the test, and to her horror it came back positive. She felt herself go numb. She was pregnant. She was pregnant with the child of someone that she did not even know properly, someone she had only been with for a few hours. How could this be happening to her? How could someone as responsible and mature as Phoebe allow this to happen to herself?

She thought about the fact that she was drunk. She had been too drunk to realize the implications of what she was doing. She had actually told Nate to come inside her. She couldn’t believe that she had been so utterly stupid while having s*x with someone that she didn’t know.

She then realized that it was not entirely her fault, not at all. She was not the only one who had been having s*x, after all. She was only half of the s*xual partnership. Nate had been there too, he should have been smart enough to realize that he was doing something stupid by coming inside her. He had not asked her beforehand if she was on the pill, he had not asked her anything about contraception whatsoever. He had not even put a condom on. That had been his responsibility as much as it had been Phoebe’s.

All of that was moot, however. Phoebe was pregnant. She had Nate’s child growing inside of her, and she had no way to contact him whatsoever, and he had no way to contact her. She thought back to their conversation the previous night. He had told her that he worked in his father’s company but she had not asked him which one. She had told him that she was a counselor but he had not asked her where she worked either. Neither of them had taken much of an interest in things like places of work or other minor details. They had wanted to know and understand the core of each other. They had wanted to understand how they functioned and what made them tick. They had wanted to gain an in depth emotional understanding of each other, an emotional understanding that would allow them to get intimate with one another as fast as possible. All in all, they had been greedy, and in their greed they had forgotten basic things such as asking each other where they worked and how they could stay in contact after they were done doing whatever it was that they were about to do.

As a result, Phoebe could not even call Nate’s work place to get in contact with him. This was a rather creepy thing to do, but considering the situation, Phoebe thought that it would be best. Either way, the option was not available to her. Nate did not know where she worked so he could not contact her either. Even if he had had a way to contact Phoebe, she did not know if he would have wanted to contact her at all.

She did not know what that night had meant to him, after all. She didn’t know if he had just used her for s*x or if he had just wanted to feel, for a single night, like all of the problems he had to face didn’t exist. She had a feeling that he had just used her, but that may have just been her brain overreacting to something that might very well be easily explained. She didn’t think he was so callous a person, but then again maybe he was, Phoebe did not know him all that well after all.

All of this did not matter in the end. Phoebe was pregnant and there was no way to contact the man that was undoubtedly the father. There was no way for her to be able to give this baby any kind of life. She needed to think long and hard about what she wanted to do, but before she thought about this she wanted to be sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was, in fact, pregnant, so she decided to get a proper pregnancy test done at a hospital.

The test came back positive, and Phoebe now had to think about the options that she had regarding the baby. It was a difficult conversation to have, made all the more difficult by the fact that Phoebe had no one whatsoever to have this conversation with. It was a conversation that she was being forced to have with herself, and Phoebe was probably her own least favorite person at the moment. Since there was no other option, however, Phoebe sat down and began to think about what she wanted to do.
