CHAPTER 3

“Karen, can you come in here?” he yelled, kind of urgently.

Karen walked into the bathroom.

"What's wrong babe? Are you okay?"

"Is there something you should be telling me?" he asked her.

Karen saw the pregnancy test and burst into laughter. Paul looked at her strangely.

“Don’t worry Paulie, It’s not mine.”

Relief swept across him but he still had a questioning look on his face.

"I'm not supposed to tell you but you can probably guess who’s it is.”

“Emma?”

Karen nodded.

“Yeah, but you don’t know. I didn’t tell you, okay?”

“Yeah, I didn’t even think Ben and her had even,"

"Neither did I."

"What are you two doing in there?" I yelled from the lounge.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Paul yelled back.

Karen laughed and playfully hit him on the arm before dragging him out to the lounge.

“Bout time.” I said.

“Yeah, yeah." Karen replied.

I was about to turn the video on when Paul stole the remote.

"Hey!"

"Hey!" Paul mimicked me. "What about popcorn?”

“Oh, I forgot.” Karen said. “Go make some babe.”

“Me?!” Paul complained.

“Yes you.”

“Why me?”

“You suggested it and you’ll probably eat the most anyway, garbage guts.”

She poked his stomach. Paul pouted.

“Hurry up, you know where the stuff is.”

“Fine, but don’t ever tell anyone I did this for you. I’ve got my reputation to think about.”

He grinned. Karen threw a pillow at him as he left.

"Okay, so finally we're ready." Karen said, once Paul had returned with the popcorn.

"Um, guys,” I said. “I think I might just leave you two to it. I’m really tired and that headache is getting worse and worse. I’m gonna go to bed.”

"You sure?" Karen asked.

I nodded and left.

"Poor thing." Karen commented when Emma was out of earshot.

Halfway through the movie, Paul and Karen were disturbed by the ringing of the phone. After telling Paul to pause the video, Karen answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Karen, it's Ben."

"Oh, Ben, hi."

"Ben, you've interrupted our movie!" Paul yelled, forgetting Emma was asleep.

”Paul, shush!”

Ben laughed.

“Is Em there?”

“Uh, yeah, but she’s asleep or she was at least. I don’t know about now after Paul yelling." Karen said, looking at Paul accusingly.

"Oh, why? It's only 4."

"She was really tired and she had a headache so she went to bed.”

“Oh, okay. Um, do you guys mind if I come around? I’ve got nothing to do.”

“Aw, poor Benji’s bored.” Karen teased.

“Yes he is, very much so. Not to mention missing his girlfriend.”

“Aww, so sweet. Paul, do you think we can put up with Ben?”

“Oh, I don’t know.”

“Thanks so much you two. What excellent friends I have.” Ben said, pretending to be offended.

Karen laughed.

“Yes you can come round. You think I’d say no?” she replied

“Okay, I’ll see you soon then."

"Bye."

Fifteen minutes later, the movie was interrupted again by the sound of the doorbell.

"It's open!" Paul yelled, once again forgetting Emma was in bed.

Karen whacked him in the stomach.

“Shh! Em.”

“Oops.” he said.

Ben walked into the lounge.

“Hey.” he greeted.

“Hi.” Karen and Paul replied.

“So what are we watching?” he asked, jumping over the back of the couch and landing next to Paul.

"Some chick flick." Paul said. "Save yourself Ben."

"Ergh," he said, screwing his nose up in disgust. “I’m going.”

“Where? You just got here.”

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

“No, wait.” Karen said running to the bathroom door to block Ben’s path.

“What?”

“Um… I need to go.” She said before disappearing behind the bathroom door.

"Okay, what was that about?" Ben asked, confused.

Paul shrugged.

“No idea.”

In the bathroom, Karen grabbed the bin and gathered up any evidence of the kit.

‘Shit, where am I supposed to put this?’ she thought as she looked around.

In the end she decided on putting it in the shower and pulled the curtain around to hide it then she left the bathroom. Ben rushed in as soon as Karen was out of the way. Karen sat back down next to Paul. He wrapped his arm around her and nuzzled into her neck.

“What was that about babe?” he asked.

“I had to get rid of the test, didn’t I?” Karen said.

“Ooh, close one.”

“Yeah, I mean, if you saw it then Ben was bound to notice it too.”

“Hey, what are you trying to say?" Paul asked, pretending to be offended.

Karen just laughed.
