A/N: The other parts will be longer I promise but I just want to start it off tonight and see what everyone thinks of the set up of this story. This is my second fan fiction in quite sometime so keep in mind that it might not be perfect

Eponine looked at the plus sign on the EPT pregnancy test and hoped it was wrong. This was not happening! It couldn't be! She saw her whole future flash right before her eyes. Her dreams of getting into Julliard was now over and she might as well face the fact that she was going to end up living in the slums for the rest of her life just like her own parents. It turned out that girls like her weren't meant to go to college and make something of themselves. Ironically her father was right all along. She had turned out to be nothing but the slut he always said she was.

"Ponine? Are you okay in there? How's it going?" Her best friend Lauren asked her from outside the bathroom. They figured it would be better to do it at Lauren's house she didn't want her parents or Azelma finding out she was taking a pregnancy test. Eponine opened the door her eyes were filled with tears and Lauren knew what was going on without Eponine even saying a word. She pulled her into a hug. "Oh Eponine! I'm so sorry! What are you going to do now?"

"I…I…I don't know," She said in tears.

"It's okay. I'll help you however I can. What about the father?" Lauren asked.

How was she going to tell Marius? She was merely just bed buddy to him. Someone to have sex with since Cosette was telling him no. She knew it was wrong but she was in love with him and if that was the only way she could have him then it was fine but not anymore. She would have to tell him about the baby so they can decide what to do. Lauren didn't know about Marius. Part of their agreement was that they kept their rendezvouses a secret so Princess Cosette couldn't find out about them. Eponine hated Cosette and girls like her who had everything handed to them on a silver platter. The only thing she had to worry about was how to fix her hair and if she was going to be captain of the cheerleading squad next year. It felt good to be giving Marius what she wouldn't. Now, it didn't feel so good anymore.

"I don't know how to tell him," She said and shook her head.

"Who is it? Is it Montparnasse? He's a loser but I've seen him around your dad a lot. Are you with him?" She said with her face frowned up in disgust. Why did people think she was with that jerk? He dropped out of school a year ago and now hung out with her dad doing things she didn't even want to think about. She knew her dad, Montparnasse and a few other guys robbed, cheated and scammed people but she didn't like to think about it. She wished her father would just make an honest living like everyone else's did even Lauren wasn't rich but at least her dad had an honest job that didn't involve theft.

"No of course not! It's Marius!" She said and wished she could take it back right away.

"Marius Pontmercy?! But he's with that perky cheerleader Cosette! How? When? Where?" Lauren asked shocked. Eponine rolled her eyes and said "Well if you don't know how I can't help you with that. But it happened just about everyday during free period in Marius's car and sometimes at his house." She sat on Lauren's bed and cradled her head in her hands.

"Look Eponine, I don't agree with you messing around with someone's boyfriend but you need to tell him and your parents as well. I know it won't be easy but you need their help to decide what you're going to do." She didn't think her parents would help but she was right she needed to tell Marius. A part of her had a secret hope that Marius would leave Cosette and do the right thing and be with her. It would be perfect. Her baby would have the best of everything and maybe one day she and Marius would be married. She smiled at the thought. Maybe this wouldn't be a bad thing after all.
