From Best Friend To Fiancé (Savannah and Roman) novel Chapter 305

Chapter 175: You Deserve This

Savannah

My hands were shaking as I stared at the pregnancy tests for what had to be the millionth time.

Two red lines. Pregnant

I blinked, as if maybe the result would change if I looked long enough. But it didn’t. It stayed the same–bold, clear,

impossible to misread.

“I’m pregnant,” I whispered, the words barely leaving my lips. It still sounded strange out loud. Beautiful and terrifying all

at once.

My heart beat hard against my ribs. I pressed a trembling palm to my stomach, still flat beneath my loose shirt. There was

a tiny life growing inside me–a human being who would have Roman’s eyes, his smile, maybe even his stubbornness.

The thought made my eyes sting. Roman was going to be a dad. It felt unreal, like a dream I was afraid to wake up from.

Then came Lizzie’s voice, loud enough to rattle the foundation of the entire house. “Hey, Sav! Guess the water’s pregnant

too!”

I frowned. “What?”

“Come here, you’ve got to see this!”

I followed her voice into the other side of the living room, still holding one of the tests like if I put it down it’d cease to be

real. Reese was on the couch, his arm sprawled lazily along the backrest, phone in hand, looking like he’d seen too much

of our chaos already.

Lizzie was standing by the coffee table, grinning like a maniac and holding up one of the test sticks I’d tossed earlier.

“What are you doing?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.

“She tried to kill them,” Reese said without looking up.

Lizzie whipped her head toward him. “Don’t make it sound psychotic! I was avenging your pain, Sav! These stupid things

made you cry last time, remember?”

I blinked. “So you… avenged me?”

Chapter 305

“Exactly! I executed these little traitors.” She raised the stick proudly. “Boiled them. But now, look–this one’s got two

lines again. Even the water thinks it’s pregnant.”

I walked closer, squinting. Two lines. “That can’t be right.”

“Maybe it’s possessed,” Lizzie said, dead serious. “You’ve been cursed by the pregnancy gods.”

I snorted. “Or maybe you just boiled the ink.”

Reese sighed, finally putting down his phone with a look that screamed ‘you two are hopeless‘. “Or maybe the damn

thing’s just expired.”

Lizzie’s mouth fell open. “Expired? What do you mean expired?”

He picked up the test box from the table, turning it in his hand. “See this date? Two years past due. Who the hell sells

expired pregnancy tests? Whoever sold this to you deserves jail time.”

My jaw dropped. “Wait–what?”

“You got this from where?” he asked.

“The drugstore in New Hope. I didn’t-”

“Of course you didn’t.” His voice softened slightly. “That’s beyond negligent. We should report them.”

Lizzie slammed her hands dramatically on her hips. “Report them? No. Sue them. Take all their money. Drag them. Burn

their reputation to ashes. That’s what they deserve for messing with my cousin’s emotions!”

Reese chuckled under his breath. “You sound like your movies when you say stuff like that.”

She shot him a glare. “Good.”

Their eyes met for a moment too long, a charged, heavy silence stretching between them. I caught my breath. That same hot tension again–like I’d interrupted something intimate.

The image of what I’d walked in on earlier flashed through my mind–Lizzie practically grinding against him, reaching for the remote, his hands dangerously gripping her hips. It had felt too intimate, too personal to pretend I hadn’t seen.

Reese stood abruptly, brushing off invisible lint from his jeans. “Anyway, I’ve got to go see Penny.”

Lizzie blinked. “Who’s Penny?”

“The blonde lawyer who came to the hospital to deliver documents,” I said quietly. “You remember her.”
