I think it's wonderful that the two of you have planned to take responsibility and keep the child, and I hope everything goes well for you. Here are some tips for you, since you plan on keeping it.

First, just in case, you may want to get checked for an STD or STI, if you're not sure she's clean. Just a precaution, but it's smart to get checked. Also, you should think about setting aside money now; 9 months may seem like a long way down the road but it really isn't, and babies are very expensive. You should continue to put aside a decent amount of money each month in preparation for the baby. I would definitely advise you to try and help her as much as possible; pregnancy isn't easy, or fun. It's very stressful and tiring, and she's going to need your help.

Finally, and this will be difficult, you need to have a long talk with your friend about what you want to do here. This was his girlfriend, and their relationship is likely ruined and done. It's probably best if you two talk about this whole issue. Do it soon, instead of waiting. Good luck to you.
