Use vivid descriptions. Instead of just saying they met at a place, describe the place in detail - the smells, the sounds, the look of it. This will draw the reader in. For the characters, describe their expressions, their body language. When they talk, use dialogue that sounds natural. Don't make it too formal or stilted. And include some twists and turns in the plot. Just when the reader thinks they know what's going to happen, surprise them.
There could also be supporting characters in the fanfiction. Maybe Lauren's family members who have an influence on her relationship with Peter. Or Peter's friends who either encourage or discourage his involvement with Lauren. These supporting characters can add more depth and realism to the story.
One possible plot could be Lauren and Peter teaming up to solve a mystery in the neighborhood. Maybe there's a series of strange events happening, and they use their combined wits to figure it out.
There could be many interesting plotlines in such a fanfiction. Maybe they initially struggle with the news, as they might not have been planning for a baby. For example, they could worry about how their families will react or how they will afford to raise a child.
Another scenario could be that they are really excited about the pregnancy from the start. They immediately start telling their closest friends and family. Then they face some external problems, like someone from their past trying to cause trouble because of the pregnancy.
