Her name is Lisa.
When she stays late, she sleeps on the couch, and I on the floor.
When my sister woke up the next day, and saw that she had spent the night, she simply rubbed her eyes sleepily, and said, "We need a house," followed by, "Good morning, Lisa."
This is why my sister is so awesome- she has been completely supportive of the relationship, and relatively free with her brother /sister time. She gives us space.
I should introduce Lisa, and the plot twist that makes this relationship unique.
We were only dating two weeks when she told me she found out she was about eight weeks pregnant. She told me as soon as she knew. She happened to take birth control pills that only give her a cycle every four months.

We were only dating two weeks when she told me she found out she was about eight weeks pregnant. She told me as soon as she knew. She happened to take birth control pills that only give her a cycle every four months.
It was October 30th. It was this week that she decided to keep it. Then she asked what I was going to do. I said I wasn't leaving, but my stomach is f*cking going nuts.
"So if it's that 'fight or flight' response, and you're not 'flying,' does that mean you're going to fight me?" she asked, smiling.
Document, actually.
I joke that only in seven months would we have dated when she isn't pregnant. Don't think I'm overlooking the thing that comes after being pregnant.
She'll probably fight me on this, but I want to document this whole thing. Look for a blog about her and our experience with this preganancy. I want to do video, audio, and a general timeline of the physical changes she goes through.
Maybe it's the only way I can wrap my head around all of this. Turn it into a project.
