I don't own Young and hungry or any of the characters except for the baby.

Gabi was freaking out. When she came into work this wasn't what she had expected. She had expected a normal day at Josh's. Well as normal as it get. No day is the same at that apartment. Something new always happens. She wasn't so sure if this one was. At the moment she was waiting for Sofia to show up. Time had never ticked as slow as it was at the moment. She wasn't ready to be a mother. The timing couldn't be worse. Josh was engaged for god's sake. How would they explain that to Caroline? She couldn't even imagine how to conversation would go.

"Oh, thank God you're here.", Gabi said as she opened the door. She had probably never felt as relieved as she felt at the moment when it came to seeing Sofia. "Do you have the pregnancy test? I'm freaking out.", she knew that she was rambling but she couldn't help it. She was allowed to freak out.
"Okay, just calm down. You can't be pregnant. You and Josh used protection.", Sofia said calmly until she saw the look on Gabi's face. "Right?", there was almost a bitter tone in her words.
"Abso maybe.", Gabi almost stuttered.
"Are you freaking kidding me?!", it was clear that her friend was mad. She could understand why.
"Shh!", she would allow Sofia to freak out later. Now was not a good time, with Josh and Caroline being in the apartment at the moment.
"How could you not use protection?!",
"I don't know. We used so much champagne I don't remember.", she said as she headed towards the bathroom. "Will you stop talking? You know I can't pee when I'm nervous. I have a shy bladder.",
"Well, I wish you had a shy vagina, then we wouldn't be in this mess.", she could hear from the other side of the door.
"I heard that.",

"Did you pee on it?", Sofia asked the moment she saw Gabi leave the bathroom.
"Yeah. And a little on my hand.", Sofia couldn't help but feel bad for her friend. She had never seen her like this before. She could understand why though. This was a life changing moment. Nothing would be the same after this. No matter if she was pregnant or not.
"Okay, we got one minute until we find out the results, which gives you one minute to freak out.", Sofia looked at her watch. "Go.",
"How did this happen? I mean, I know how it happened, but why did I let it happen? I mean, I finally got my dream job. And it was gonna lead to my dream career. And I was even gonna have my own cookbook called, 'Dining With Debt'.",
"Okay, 10 seconds.",
"And now all of it could be ruined because of one stupid drunken mistake. I mean, I know I'm being negative, but I'm scared it's gonna be positive.",
"And time's up. Do you feel better?", she wanted nothing more than for her best friend to be happy.
"No.", Sofia couldn't help but let out a small sigh as they headed towards the kitchen. "Okay, time to see-", Sofia was quickly interrupted by Gabi.
"Hey, Josh, hey! Uh, this is my roommate, Sofia. - Sofia, Josh. - Hey. - Josh, Sofia.", it was clear that her friend was nervous.
"It's nice to meet you.", she couldn't help but check him out slightly. He was really good looking. No wonder Gabi had slept with him. She was sure they would get beautiful children if it turned out that Gabi was pregnant.
"Sofia's helping me, um, uh, cut the sandwiches into triangles.", that was the worst excuse she had ever heard but she went with it, not knowing what else to say.
"Well, we're glad you're here. We can use all the help we can get.",
"Yeah.",
"Gabi told you how important this day is to me?",
"Yes, she did. And it's a big day for everyone.", she couldn't help but let out making Gabi glare at her.
"Look, it's really important to Caroline that I make a good impression on her friends. There's gonna be 13 of them here. And unlike her, they can be cold and judgy.", Sofia and Gabi shared a look. He must be blind if he didn't see how Caroline really was. She was one of the most judgemental people they had ever met.
"Well, just be yourself. I'm sure you'll be fine.", Gabi said comfortingly.
"That's the worst idea ever. Look, I may seem confident and successful on the outside, but on the inside, I'm just a soft, nerdy pile of goo. Let me bottom-line this for you. I'm so scared.", suddenly he went quiet. "What is that?", the two girls looked at each other with wide eyes. There was no chance that Josh could find out about this today.
"It's, um It's a stirrer.", Gabi took up the pregnancy test and put it into the cup starting to stir. "Boy, you are nervous. You know what you should do? You should leave immediately and go work off all that anxiety at the gym.",
"I can't. I have too much to do. I've got to get my tailor suited My suit tailored! Oh my God. I'm sweating like a barn animal.", he moved his shirt around slightly as if he was trying to cool himself down as he walked up the stairs leaving the two girls alone.
"Wow. Now I see why you slept with him. He is a babe!",
"Sofia, we have more important babes to worry about.", Gabi took the test out of the cup. "I can't look.",
"No, you have to.", Sofia said calmly. She knew that her friend needed to do this alone.
"I'm positive-", Sofia let out a small gasp. "That this one's ruined. I got to take another test.", Gabi threw the test back into the cup, putting her hands on her hips.

Gabi couldn't help but feel nauseous. She knew that probably wasn't a good sign but she tried to push it away, pretend that it was because she was nervous. Deep down she knew that wasn't it. She couldn't wait to get this over with. Knowing was much better than not knowing. She could put all of this to rest. The question was, what was she goign to do if she was pregnant? She knew that she wouldn't get an abortion. She had nothing against it but she had promised herself not to do it. There were so many women out there who couldn't have children. So what better way than to have the child and give it up for adoption? She knew that she couldn't do that. She couldn't live with herself knowing that she had given her own flesh and blood up. She had no idea how people could do it. She knew that it mostly was so they could give their children a better life, they couldn't take care of them but some people just didn't want children. She quickly walked to the kitchen trying to find something to ease her stomach.

At the moment Gabi was walking back and forth with a tray of salty crackers. It was the best she could find.
"Socks and sandals, Gabi? You make it too easy.", Gabi didn't feel like playing Elliot's games at the moment.
"Gabi! Insults are a two-way street. If you don't react, there's no fun in it for me.", suddenly they heard a humming. Humming from the one and only Yolanda. "Yolanda, you're humming.",
"Elliot, you're annoying.",
"See, that's how it works. You only hum when you have gossip. What is it? Spill.", the excitement in Elliot's voice was clear.
"Will you chill out. Maybe I'm just happy.", the woman went quiet for a while. "Happy I got some dirt.", she shouted happily. "Gather 'round sisters. So I was taking out the trash, you know, like I do. And underneath a bunch of two-ply scented toilet paper, that only rich people buy, I found a box for... wait for it. Pregnancy test.", Gabi widened her eyes slightly. She had forgotten that Yolanda snoops around the garbage sometimes. This was not good. "Now I only found the box, but I know exactly what's going on.",
"You do?", Gabi was starting to freak out. This didn't need to come out like this.
"Damn right I do. Caroline's pregnant.",
"Caroline?", Gabi said more like a question. Feeling slightly relieved that Yolanda didn't think it was hers.
"No wonder she's moody.", Elliot said from beside her.
"And I saw her almost eat ice cream.", Yolanda was happy. Gabi wasn't sure if it was because of the gossip or because she thought Josh was going to be a father.
"And she smelled a piece of pie.", Elliot agreed. "I can't wait to tell Josh!",
"No, you're not telling him. I'm telling him. It's my news.", Yolanda seemed to have ruined Elliot's dreams the moment her words left her mouth.
"Hey, no, nobody's telling anyone anything. Except me.", Elliot said. Gabi sighed slightly at her two colleagues.
"Guys, he's already freaking out about this party. I mean, why would we add to the stress? Plus, we don't even know what the results of the test are. I mean, Caroline might not even know. You know, a lot of people screw up their first test.", a sigh escaped Yolanda's lips.
"She's got a point. We shouldn't say anything.", Elliot said.
"Fine, but it sure takes the fun out of digging through the trash.",
"Hey, guys.", they hadn't even realized that Josh had walked down the stairs until the moment he opened his mouth. Elliot and Yolanda looked at each other before they rushed towards Josh. Elliot basically threw himself at the couch.
"You're going to be dad.", Yolanda excitedly said before turning towards Elliot. "Ha!",
"Damn it.", was heard from the tiny man as Gabi stood frozen. She should have guessed that those two still would have told him. This was not going to end up well, especially if they thought that it was Caroline who was pregnant.

"Wait, let me get this straight.", Josh said as he looked at his three colleagues. "You guys found a pregnancy test box with no test, and you have no idea what the results are?", sometimes his employees didn't think things through completely.
"It really lacks the 'umph' when you say it like that.", Yolanda mumbled, clearly not happy with the outcome.
"I tried to stop her from telling you, but you saw what happened. I was like Indiana Jones running from that Boulder.", Josh almost wanted to roll his eyes. He knew that Elliot played a part in this too.
"Look, guys, I appreciate your concern, but if Caroline is pregnant, she would tell me.",
"Then it's settled. Let's not talk about this again.", this was the first time he heard Gabi say something in this conversation. He found that quite odd since she usually couldn't shut up. He turned around as he heard the door open.
"Caroline you're positively glowing.", Elliot said happily.
"Of course I am. I just had a facial.", he noticed Yolanda whisper something to Gabi. He didn't know what but he knew that it had to do something with Caroline since he could see he making a shh sound. "Josh, help me pick out something to wear. I want to look so good that all my friends feel really bad about themselves.", with that Josh followed his fiancée up the stairs.

"She's going to be a great mother.", Yolanda said as soon as the couple had left.
"Yeah, about that, Yolanda.",
"Hmhmm.", she let out, waiting for Gabi to speak up.
"Why did you say something? I told you not to say anything, and then you just told Josh everything!",
"I couldn't let that gossip silly piglet steal my thunder again. I mean, when the firemen came to cut out 500-pound Lou out of his apartment, Elliot broke the news. When Mr. Lowenstein became MRs. Lowenstein, Elliot broke the news. It's my turn!", she went quiet for a while before frowning slightly. "And how come you care so much anyway?", the girl looked more scared and nervous than she had ever seen her.
"Because, oh god.", it was clear that the young woman had trouble getting what she wanted to say out in the open. "It's not actually, completely Caroline's pregnancy test.", she said fidgeting with her hands.
"Well, whose test is it?",
"It's kind of completely mine.", she said, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. Yolanda definitely didn't expect that. You couldn't say she wasn't shocked. She never thought she would hear those words coming out of Gabi's mouth. She could expect a lot from that girl, but this she wasn't ready for.
"What?! Oh, hell no!", Yolanda thought slightly. "Wait, this doesn't come from the night that you and Josh.", Gabi made a face as she nodded. "Oh, hell no!", the woman went quiet for a while. "So are you pregnant or not?",
"I don't know, the test kind of got messed up.",
"How do you mess up peeing on a stick?",
"It's complicated.", Gabi's voice was flat, something Yolanda wasn't completely used to hearing. "Look, Sofia's on her way now with another one, but with everything going on, maybe I should tell Josh now.", Yolanda could tell that the young woman was at war at herself. She had no idea what to do.
"Tell him what? That you might be pregnant, but you don't know. What's that going to do but upset the man? Until you take a new test, you keep your mouth shut.", a small sigh escaped the younger woman's lips.
"Yeah, you're right.",
"Damn, I'm like Fema, the way I'm cleaning up these disasters.", with that Yolanda left the room wondering how everything could turn so messy so quickly.

Sofia rushed up the stairs. She couldn't believe it she didn't even have enough money to buy a pregnancy test. As soon as she opened the door she went over to the only goldmine in the apartment. The couch. Gabi and her always found a bunch of weird stuff in between the cushions. She quickly rushed over to the couch and literally tore it apart. She was already let and Gabi was going to kill her. She shook her head slightly. This was not how she expected her day to turn out. Rushing back and forth buying pregnancy tests for her best friend who slept with an engaged man and might be carrying his baby. He might not have been engaged during the time they slept together but he got back together with her pretty soon. She knew that it was hard on her friend. She had gained feelings for the man quite quickly and now he was getting married to a not so nice woman. She took a sigh of relief as she finally fished up enough money for her to buy another pregnancy test. She really needed to get a job.

"Thank god you're here.", Gabi said as soon as Sofia walked through the door.
"Here's your 'you know what' to find out if you're 'you know what'.", Sofia said quietly making the woman beside her let out a small huff.
"You know what? Just give her the damn pregnancy test.", Yolanda let out. Gabi wasn't the only one who wanted to get this over with.
"She knows?", Sofia asked with a soft voice. Gabi nodded slowly.
"Damn right I know. If you're trying to hide something, don't bury it in the bottom of a trash can under a bunch of tissue and 'people' magazines, where anyone can find it." Gabi gave Yolanda a look. Sometimes she didn't understand the woman. "Now give me that. This time I'm throwing it away.", Yolanda ripped the box from Gabi's hand. "Your boss is always getting you in trouble.", Sofia let out a gasp at the woman's words. None of them had time to say anything before she had left the apartment. They looked at each other before they rushed towards the bathroom.
"Oh man! I've been having to hold it in for an hour!", Gabi complained as they rushed inside.
"I's sorry it took so long. When I got to the store, I didn't have enough cash, so I had to go home and shake down our couch.", Sofia leaned against the wall waiting for Gabi to come out.
"Oh, thank god!", she suddenly heard from inside.
"You're not pregnant?", Sofia said excitedly as she walked closer to the door.
"No, it just feels so good to pee.", Sofia couldn't help but roll her eyes at her friends words.

Sofia could tell that her friend was nervous the moment she stepped out. She looked more nervous than when she had taken the first test. She had a feeling that it was all starting to catch up with her. She looked at Gabi as she continued walking back and forth.
"This is the longest minute of my life.", suddenly came out of her friend's mouth. "I feel like throwing up.", and with those words Gabi stopped in front of her.
"That's not a good sign.",
"Sofia, I can't be pregnant. I can't have a baby. I'm still a baby.",
"It's time.", he voice was soft as she spoke. She knew that her friend needed the comfort. She didn't need anger or disappointment. "Do you want me to look?",
"No, no, I'll do it.", Sofia shook her head slightly as Gabi made a face trying to both look and not look. She couldn't help but bite her lip. Whatever happened was going to change their lives.

Yolanda quickly walked into the bathroom. She needed to warn Gabi. She can't believe Elliot bought a baby carriage. This must be one of the craziest things he has ever done, and he had done a lot of crazy. The moment she stepped into the room the only thing Yolanda could see was Gabi fighting herself. A part of her wanted to look and another part didn't. She went to stand beside Sofia who was looking at her friend worriedly. Suddenly they heard a deep breath come from Gabi as she finally opened her eyes completely so she could see the test clearly. The test quickly fell to the floor making Yolanda and Sofia look at each other worriedly.
"Gabi?", the young latina beside her asked. The young blonde slowly looked up, tears running down her face.
"I'm pregnant.", she said softly making both Sofia and Yolanda take a deep breath. This wasn't going to end well. Who knew what was going to happen with Caroline and with everyone else. It didn't take long for her to realize that Sofia wasn't beside her anymore. She hadn't even noticed that she was hugging a crying Gabi tightly. She had been to caught up in her thoughts to notice what had been going on in the outside world. Yolanda hated to break up this moment. Gabi needed all the comfort she could get, but at the moment they had a bigger problem. She sighed slightly.
"Gabi.", she said softly making the young blonde look at her quietly. "We might have a problem.",

"Are you sure you want to tell Josh?", Sofia asked as she stood beside her friend.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't want Caroline to find out in front of all of her friends that I slept with her fiance.",
"Good point.", suddenly Caroline was standing in front of them.
"We're done with these.", she said as she gave Gabi some plates.
"Oh, thank you. Uh, J- Thank you. Thank you, nice. Oh, more, yay.", suddenly they heard the clinging of a glass.
"Everyone! I have an announcement to make. Can you all stop what you're doing? Sorry. As you all know, Josh and I are engaged. And I just wanted to tell him in front of all of you, how much I love him. And I hope- Noreen, I'm talking! Put down the scone and step away from the table!", a blonde woman quickly put her scone down and took a step away from the table. "As I was saying Josh and I are going to be the proud parents of-", Caroline was suddenly interrupted by Elliot.
"A baby!",
"Baby?", Caroline said more like a question. Gabi knew exactly why. She had no idea what they were talking about.
"And I couldn't be happier.", Gabi could see that. He was basically glowing.
"No, I'm not pregnant. I'm not pregnant!",
"Wait, you're not?", Josh asked confused.
"No.",
"But I heard you on the phone and they found the box for your pregnancy test.", Josh pointed towards Gabi, Elliot and Yolanda making them shift uncomfortably.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever you found is not mine.",
"Well, then whose is it?", Gabi knew that now was the time to step forward.
"Uh that would be mine.", she raised her hand slightly.
"Yours?",
"Best part ever.", could be heard from one of the guest. However she decided to ignore it.
"Gabi, what's going on?",
"Uh, well since you asked. Um, I had to take a pregnancy test because I had a thing with this guy. His name was, uh, Edward. And he was very all and mysterious, and, um, pale. It was amazing, his skin was like almost iridescent in the sun.",
"Um, that's 'Twilight'.", the same man from before said.
"No, it's not.", Gabi's voice was higher than usual but none of the others didn't really seem to be noticing. "My Edward left me to get back with his girlfriend.",
"Ugh! Men are such pigs. Hand me that cupcake.", Noreen said.
"This one's not. This one's great. He just, um he just loves somebody else. All we had was one magical champagne infused night.", she noticed Josh pale slightly at her words.

"Hey. Hey. Listen, Josh, I'm really sorry about what happened today.", Gabi said as they cleaned up outside after the small party.
"No, no. I'm sorry I put you in this predicament. Yeah. Are we in a-", Gabi took a deep breath, she knew that she needed to tell him the truth.
"I'm pregnant.", the silence could get cut with a knife. None of them knew exactly what to say. None of them felt ready for this. But the question was, when was one ever ready?
"Have you figured-", he almost sounded afraid to ask.
"I think I'm going to keep it.", Josh nodded at this.
"You know, I'll do whatever.", Gabi gave him a sad smile.
"I know.", it was quiet for a moment. "I should probably head home.", she said softly.
"Yeah, me too.",
"Josh, you live here.",
"I live here.", she couldn't help but shake her head slightly at his silliness. She had a feeling this was going to work out in the end. The question was how.
