One evening, when Charlie is busy with a royal function, I lounge on the couch with Dahlia. A new season of The Bachelorette is on, and Dahlia is explaining to me in great detail what she thinks of each suitor.

“I don’t think I could handle having that many men trying to date me,” I toss a piece of popcorn in my mouth. “It looks exhausting.”

“I could do it,” Dahlia responds, shrugging.

“Of course you could,” I laugh.

She grins at me, and then winces as she grabs a handful of popcorn. “My period is so bad right now,” she says. “All I want to do is sit here and eat.”

I must make a face, because Dahlia sits up. “What?”

I shake my head. “Nothing.”

Ever since I’ve lived with Dahlia, our cycles have synced up. Where mine was sporadic and irregular before, for the past year and a half I’ve lived with Dahlia, it’s been like clockwork—just like hers.

Except… not this time.

“You okay?” Dahlia is frowning at me. “You look worried.”

I shake my head. “It’s nothing. When did your period start?”

“Day before yesterday.”

“Huh.”

“Why?”

“Nothing, it’s just… It’s nothing.”

“Do you not have yours?”

I shake my head. “It’s usually within a day of yours.”

Dahlia brings her feet up onto the couch and rests her chin on her knees. “Maybe it’s just late.”

“Yeah. I’ve been training hard, could be that I’m just not eating enough.”

“Yeah. Could be.” Dahlia glances at me, swallowing. She bites her lip, and I know what she’s thinking—what I’m thinking. What every girl thinks whenever her typically very regular period doesn’t arrive exactly on schedule.

… what if?

“You never got the morning after pill, did you?” Dahlia asks, straight to the point as always.

I shake my head. “No.”

“Have you guys been using protection? You and Prince Charming have been going at it like rabbits. I hope you’ve been responsible.”

“I’m not pregnant.”

“I know. I’m just saying…”

“I’m not pregnant.”

“Maybe you should take a test.”

“No.” I shake my head. “I can’t.”

“Elle…”

“I’m not pregnant, Dahlia. I can’t be. It was only one time! The chances of that happening…”

“… are not zero.”

I take a deep breath and squeeze my eyes shut. No matter what Dahlia says, I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that I could be pregnant.

No, not just pregnant. I could be pregnant with Prince Charlie’s baby.

I sit up, putting a hand to my forehead and taking a deep breath. My mind immediately starts racing a million miles an hour.

If I’m pregnant, I’d have to stop rowing. I’d lose my scholarship. I’d have to stop college. How would I take care of it?

How would I tell the Prince?

The first evening we spent at the cabin, he told me about his governess taking advantage of him, and how much it had messed him up to find her poking holes in his condoms. I’ve seen him get rid of used condoms very carefully, and he’s always extra safe.

I know he doesn’t want kids—especially not with a nobody from Grimdale like me.

Putting a hand to my stomach, I take a deep breath and shake my head.
