Ernest gave a sort of nervous laugh, and smiled at her before he dashed off, heading down to the pharmacy.
He really didn't have a clue. There had been no such thing as home pregnancy tests in his own time, he was only familiar with the concept because of the network on the island. Why were there so many different brands? "What the fuck?" he asked of no one. He was more panicked about this decision than the actual possibility of pregnancy.
In the end, he took three different kinds, and then dashed off again, stopping to get milk and toilet roll in case she had been serious about that shopping as well, and then headed back to the apartment, bounding up two stairs at once instead of waiting on the elevator. He abandoned the shopping on the kitchen table, and went back into the bedroom, presenting her with all three. "I didn't know, so..." he shrugged, and then laughed softly at himself.
