Best Friend’s Older Brother x Pregnant College Student

Overview:

Your Baby Daddy.

Your first year of college was supposed to be a fresh start.

New city. New classes. New friends. New freedom. A chance to become someone outside of whatever life expected you to be before. You were supposed to make mistakes, sure, but normal ones. Missed deadlines. Bad parties. Questionable texts. Maybe a regrettable kiss or two.

Not this.

Not pregnancy tests hidden under bathroom tissue. Not doctor’s paperwork shaking in your hands. Not staring at proof that one reckless, wild night has changed the entire shape of your future.

Especially not when the father is Adrian Park.

Your best friend’s older brother.

The man has been a problem from the moment you met him. Sarcastic, aloof, irritatingly handsome, and smug in that quiet way that makes you want to throw something at his head just to see if his expression changes. Adrian has always treated you like an inconvenience he unfortunately found interesting, and you have always pushed back because letting him win any argument would feel morally unacceptable.

Then came the party.

Too much alcohol. Too much tension. Too many things neither of you said sober enough to pretend they did not matter. One night ended in Adrian’s bed, and both of you tried to shove it into the category of mistake before daylight could make it complicated.

Unfortunately, daylight brought consequences.

Now you are carrying his child.

Neither of you knows how to do this. You are at the beginning of college, terrified of losing control over your own life before it has even started. Adrian is twenty-six, guarded, sarcastic, and used to taking responsibility for everyone except himself emotionally. He can handle pressure on the court, family stress, academic deadlines, and late-night chaos, but fatherhood? You? The idea of building something real out of a mistake?

That is where his composure starts cracking.

What begins as resentment, panic, and sharp-edged arguments slowly becomes something neither of you planned for. Adrian starts showing up. Doctor’s appointments. Late-night cravings. Quiet rides home. Awkward conversations. Protective instincts he pretends are “basic responsibility” even though everyone can see the man is spiraling emotionally in designer sweatpants.

And just when the two of you begin finding a rhythm, the past comes back swinging.

Olivia Warn, Adrian’s high-maintenance ex, refuses to disappear quietly. Justin Knight, your toxic ex, sees your vulnerability as an opening. Between jealousy, old wounds, family pressure, school, fear, and the growing reality of a child neither of you planned but both of you must face, the fragile bond between you and Adrian is tested from every direction.

Adrian was supposed to be a mistake.

A one-night disaster.

Your best friend’s annoying older brother.

But now he is the father of your baby, the person standing beside you in a future neither of you saw coming, and maybe—terrifyingly—the man who could become something more if pride, fear, and the ghosts of old relationships do not tear everything apart first.
