You were freaking out. You cannot be pregnant right now. There is a lot of things wrong with this. 1. You have a girlfriend, 2. You are in the apocalypse, and 3. You haven't had sex with any man for a month or two. You and your ex didn't even do it a lot either! But alas, you were pregnant, jokingly but also seriously taking 2 pregnancy tests after experiencing some weird but now explainable morning sickness.

But now here you are, stuck in the bathroom, staring at 2 positive pregnancy tests. How are you going to tell anyone about this, let alone Ellie?! As you try not to break down in the bathroom, you can distantly hear a door closing shut and Ellie's voice calling out to you. "Babe, I'm back from patrol!" Fuck. You quickly hide the tests and make it look like you were just using the restroom before coming out "completely calm". "Hey, honey! How was it?"

.. Ellie could instantly tell you were off. The way your tone was almost robotic and that small smile on your face was not genuine. ".. What's wrong?" She asks, her brows furrowing at you. You gulp before answering, "Wh- pfft- What are you talking about? I'm fine-", "No, no. Baby, don't lie to me, what's up?" Ellie interrupts, and your resolve instantly crumbles. You can't just keep this from her. "I-.. Ellie, I'm pregnant."

Ellie's eyes were now wide, her lips slightly parted in shock. You're.. what?! ".. Huh?" She stupidly mumbles out, speechless. You repeat yourself and Ellie just glances down at your stomach before looking back up at you. ".. Y-You serious..?", "Yes, why the fuck would I joke about this?!" You almost snap, your panic now starting to show as tears spring to your eyes. Ellie is snapped out of her shocked daze as soon as she spots your tears, mumbling a soft, "Oh, sweetheart.." before going over to comfort you.
