Well first, don't worry, it's not the end of the world.  It doesn't mean you'll have to completely change your life around, but you will need to make adjustments assuming you really are the father and you intend on having an active role in this child's life.

Your first step though would be to make sure she is pregnant.  I've known far too many girls that will fake a pregnancy to either get a man back, or just for attention.  If she is, then it's time for you both to sit down and talk with her parents and your parents all together.  First, she'll need to make the decision of what she's going to do: keep it, abort it, or put it up for adoption.  Then, you need to decide if you'll be involved (if she keeps it), if you two are going to try and work things out together (if not, that's fine, don't worry about it), if you're going to help support the baby monetarily, and so on and so forth.

Whatever you do, it'll be a rough next couple of months adjusting.  And if she keeps it, it'll be a bit tougher to do the things you always wanted to do without the responsibility of being a parent.  But like I said, it's not the end of the world, and whatever happens, it will all work out fine.

well...time to stand up and be a man about it. you'll learn, everyone isn't a great parent at first but most try to do the best they can
