She just missed her period this month, so she went to get tested at a hospital... the tests came back positive... We need to know how the hell this can be possible.............

Condoms, just like all other birth control methods are not 100% effective. Semin can leak out the tiniest holes in the condom, and even though you did not finish, you may have had just enough escape. Semen can live for as long as or longer than 72 hours in the female body, and if she was near ovulation, then the egg is viable for 12-24 hours. So....this is what you should always be prepared for no matter what kind of birth control you are using, or just abstain until you are ready to have children. I hope this helps.

Pre-ejaculate also carries sperm which may have leaked out and gotten her pregnant. So while you may never have finished there's always a chance of sperm getting in as long as your penis enters her vagina. That's why the pull out method isn't a good form of BC either. (And I think condoms are something like 97% reliable?????)
and a doctor told me:

Hello,
Was the condom used properly and 100% of the time? Are you her only partner?
Perhaps you two need to talk through this a bit more.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
he did not help at all...
i say we had had sex for the first time(ever), meaning before that first time we were VIRGINS....
its pretty bloody obvious, but i guess he wasn't informed to use more that just book knowledge when
giving advice about stuff.... any one else hav useless info for me
