| "But not before." Soo Mi finished for her, taking a deep breath. "Well. We should go to a clinic and make sure." |

"Right..." Elise worked her mouth as her brows furrowed with anxiety. Of course the first step would be actually confirming whether or not she was pregnant, which she couldn't be...right? Sure she and Oliver were a bit careless, but no one got pregnant right after they started dating.
Except her parents did.
Except her grandparents did.
She let out a sigh.
"I suppose I find out...then I'll call Oliver to figure out...everything else." She said. |

| Soo Mi nodded. "I think so... and you know I'm here with you, Elise." |

| "Mm, I know." Elise said with a little bob of her head before she placed it back on Soo Mi's shoulder. "I know I don't even have to ask, but...don't tell Kang Dae or Haneul. I know they don't like Oliver and...I don't want to make matters worse." She muttered. |

| "It isn't my business to tell them, that's yours." Soo Mi reassured, patting her hand as she started walking again. |

((FF))
Elise felt a bit guilty at having thrown a spanner in the works by cutting the afternoon short with Soo Mi, but she could hardly focus on anything else after they stopped at a clinic and the medical staff there confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. She was only five weeks, to which the staff commented that it was impressive that she had noticed the changes in her body so early on, but everything after " -test came back positive" fell on deaf ears.
She could hardly believe it, that she was pregnant with Oliver's baby less than two months after they really started dating. This baby was wholly unplanned and, admittedly, was something that was going to shake up their lives irrevocably. Elise had always wanted children, but she was still young, still in school and living her life. More than that, she didn't even know if Oliver wanted children, let alone right now. His career had survived some rough tumbles, but having a girlfriend was scandalous enough when you were an idol but having a BABY? It could ruin him.
Thankfully Soo Mi was with her at the appointment and was able to collect all the informational packets being handed to Elise in her shell shocked state, she even spoke with the front desk about setting up an additional appointment, one she said Oliver should attend, before transferring her care over to the hospital of choice. They had gone to the tea shop where Soo Mi allowed Elise to sit in silence as she processed, but after awhile, Soo Mi called for a cab to take her sister-in-law to Oliver's place (which she only got the address once she rifled through Elise's phone since she was of little help)
Elise didn't know if she could face Oliver after receiving the news, but she felt fair was fair. He had just as much of a right to know as she did.
She rode over in silence and uttered a quiet "thank you" to the driver as he dropped her off at the curb. Soo Mi had given her all of the paperwork and information packets to go over with Oliver and they felt as heavy as lead as she clutched the stack to her chest. She avoided the doorman and the few people in the lobby of the building and, thankfully, took an empty elevator up to Oliver's floor. She didn't think he was home yet, so she went ahead and let herself in with her key. As soon as she entered, she toed her shoes off and made her way over to the living room where she set all her paperwork down on the coffee table before burrowing into the mess of blankets she and Oliver had left out the last time she'd been over.
She let out another anxiety heavy sigh before burying her face into the blankets and closing her eyes to wait for Oliver. |

| Oliver was home about 45 minutes later, giving an exhausted sigh as he shut the front door behind him. He kicked off his boots and then went to shuffle towards the living room, feeling exhausted. |

| At some point, without meaning to, Elise had dozed off on the couch while she waited for Oliver and was still sleeping soundly when he arrived home. |

| Oliver paused and then smiled softly when he saw her, deciding to leave her be to sleep since he knew she hadn't been feeling great lately. He scuttled off to the kitchen to make them some snacks for when she woke up. |

Elise woke up to the quiet clattering of dishes in the kitchen and, for a moment, she nearly forgot about her whole afternoon. It felt like just another lazy evening and Oliver was getting them something to snack on while they watched their usual TV programming and wound down for the day. They'd probably put on some hair and face masks as they tended to do a few times a week, and then they'd wrap up things in the living room (probably leaving dishes out to take care of in the morning) before hopping in the shower and going to bed.
However, as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and glanced over at the small stack of papers on the coffee table, reality came back to her and she was suddenly taken aback again by their situation. |

| Oliver grabbed them some drinks and went to carry the first few things to the living room, brightening when he saw her awake. "Hey you." |

Elise looked away from the papers and up at Oliver. He looked tired, at least as tired as he normally did after a long day at work, but he looked happy. She couldn't help but wonder if he'd still be happy when she told him about their little surprise.
She swallowed and cleared her throat as she sat up fully.
"Hey, Oppa. How was work?" She asked, forcing a little smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. |

| Oliver paused when he saw and slowly set down the drinks. "It was good. What's wrong, bebe?" he asked, using the term of endearment gently as he moved to sit by her. |

Bebe...
Elise lowered her gaze and allowed her smile to go flat as she began working her mouth.
"I...well...I..." She swallowed thick as she tried to put together her words, her gaze on her fingers knotting together on her lap as Oliver sat next to her. "You...know how I haven't been feeling well?" |

| Oliver felt a spike of concerned anxiety, his stomach dropping. "Yeah...?" |
