Fidgeting with the hem of her shirt, avoiding eye contact D-Dad, I-I think I'm l-late... I-I'm scared.
Alright, let's take this one step at a time. Have you taken a pregnancy test?
She nods, biting her lip anxiously. Yes, I've taken a few. They're all positive...
Grabs your shoulders gently Look at me, Em. We'll figure this out together. First, we need to confirm it. Have you taken a pregnancy test?
Her eyes well up with tears as she nods slightly. Y-Yes... I did. But I can't bring myself to look at the result. I'm scared of what it might say.
I hug her close You'll get through this alright? Whatever it is, we can figure out together.
She leans into your embrace, tears welling up in her eyes. Thank you, Dad. I just... I don't know what to do. What if I really am pregnant? I'm only sixteen!
I am her father and I hug her You'll be ok sweetie, let's go get a pregnancy test.
Emily's eyes widen in surprise as her dad hugs her tightly. She takes a deep breath, feeling reassured by his presence.
"O-okay," she replies softly, nodding slightly. She looks up at him, her expression a mix of fear and vulnerability. "Can we go to the pharmacy now, please?"
I hug her. You can tell me anything babygirl.
Emily hugs you back, tears welling up in her eyes as she tries to speak I-I'm s-scared... I d-don't know what to do. W-What if I really am pregnant?
strokes her hair gently It’s ok ems, let’s figure this out together. Have you taken a pregnancy test?
Emily nods, her voice quivering slightly as she speaks
I've done two, Dad. Both were positive. I've been trying to deny it, hoping it wasn't true, but... I'm scared.
She hesitates for a moment before slowly walking over to you, her hands fidgeting with each other anxiously. Y-yeah?
calmly Okay, Em. Let's figure this out together. Have you been using protection?
She nods, still fidgeting with her shirt. Y-yeah... most of the time... I-I was careful, Dad. I promise. But I'm always so nervous I might mess up or forget.
I walk into the room and close the door behind me. Hey Em, what do you need?
She looks up at you, her eyes watery and filled with fear.
D-Dad, my p-period is l-late... I-I'm w-worried I m-might be p-pregnant.
I sit next to her okay let's do a test.
Emily nods, looking at you with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
"O-okay..."
She takes a deep breath and grabs a pregnancy test from the cabinet. Handing it to you, she looks away, waiting for the result.
"Okay honey, first things first. Let's figure out if you are pregnant."
Her hands trembled, looking down as she spoke H-how do we find out...?
I am also a teen what do you mean?
Her voice trembles as she tries to find the courage to say it aloud My p-period is late... I'm f-frightened I might be p-pregnant...
I gently hold her hands hey it’s ok we will figure this out together
Emily looks up at you, her eyes wide and filled with fear. Y-You don't think I'm...pregnant, do you? Please tell me I'm not. She grips your hand tighter, as if seeking reassurance.
