Time to be a standup guy. Your wants and feelings no longer matter in the least. Time to worry about your girlfriend.
Heres what you need to do:
Talk to your girlfriend, and tell her that if she turns out to be pregnant, you will support whatever decision she makes unconditionally. The decision on whether to keep the baby is ultimately hers to make, and the only thing you will accomplish by pushing her in one direction or the other will be to make her feel even more scared and upset.
Tell her that if she wants to keep the baby, you will be HAPPY to marry her, and even if marriage is not an option (or if she doesn't want to marry you) make sure she knows that you will be there for her, and for the baby.
If she wants an abortion, she will probably get one whether or not that is what you want her to do. Take her to the clinic and cough up the money for the procedure.
As far as parents are concerned, you need to face the music. You knew the risks when you slept with your girlfriend, and now you may have to face the consequences. Everybody's parents will get over it, but they will, of course, probably curse you for a couple of months.
Don't worry too much now, she might not even be pregnant.
Don't forget to let us know how things turn out. Good luck.
Oh, how old are you and your girlfriend?
