I HAD a one-night stand with my
cousin at my farewell party
before going to work abroad,
now she tells me she is pregnant
and keeping the baby. I am 26. I
got the chance to spend two
years abroad with the
engineering company I work for
and I really enjoy living and
working in Dubai.’ Every three
months I come home to the UK
for a week and this was my first
time back. I had a great time. On
the last night my family threw a
party. We all had a lot to drink
and the party went on until the
early hours. Some of my mates
crashed out in the lounge and
some in the spare bedroom. My
cousin was staying over and I had
given her my room but I decided
to get some kip on my bed too
(it’s a double) as I wanted a good
night’s sleep before my flight the
next day. She went to the
bathroom to UnCloth and came
back completely Unclad and
climbed in next to me. I felt
really awkward but she soon
changed the mood and started
asking me if I was OK. She said
she was going to miss me very
much, then leaned over and
kissed me on the lips. One thing
led to another and we had sex. It
was good even though we were
both drunk. I left early in the
morning before she woke up
because I felt awkward about
what happened. I did think about
her in the following days but now
I have received this email I am
totally shocked. She says she has
just done a pregnancy test and it
is positive and she is happy about
it. She is only 19, doesn’t have a
proper job yet and still lives at
home. How on earth I am going
to explain this to family and
friends? I feel like such an idiot.
