Holly:Sorry, babe. Maybe it's good they got a loss like this out of the way? They'll be ready for game 6, I'm sure of it.
Penn:Let's hope so!
She fired off a quick text to Eli, telling him how sorry she was about the loss, then glanced over at the bag that held the pregnancy test.
Fucking hell.
She'd been anxious all night thinking about peeing on that stick. But waiting wasn't going to make her any less pregnant if she already was.

She spent time chatting with Penn after the game, then took a long, hot shower and waited for her friend to fall asleep.
At 2:00 am, she finally crawled out of bed and grabbed the bag, then headed into the bathroom.
Holly tore open the box and pulled out the stick, staring at it for a few minutes before covering her face with her hands.
All she had to do was pee on it. No big deal. It was easy enough.
Yet possibly life changing.
Gathering her courage, she yanked off the cap and got to it. When she was through, she put the stick on the counter and set her phone timer for two minutes.
It was the longest two minutes of her life.
She had so many worries, so many questions, and they all seemed jumbled together in her mind as she waited for the timer to go off.
Except for one: Eli didn't want kids.
If the test was positive, that was a huge problem if she decided to keep the baby.
"Ugh, just stop it," she murmured, dragging her hands down over her face. "Stop thinking."
Right now, all she had to do was focus on the first task: finding out if she was pregnant.
Her phone buzzed, making her jump. Jabbing the button on the screen, she shut off the timer and took a deep breath.
"Just pick it up, and read it," she said aloud. "Just get it over with. Pick it up."
She grabbed the test and squeezed her eyes shut.
Okay, on three. She'd open them on three and read the result.
"You can do this, Holly. Just do it. One, two, three, and then read."
One.
Two.
Three.
She opened her eyes and peered down at the stick.
Pregnant.
Well, fuck.
