Brief Answer:
No chances of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Slight derangement of periods is very common after taking emergency contraceptive.
There are practically no chances of pregnancy as - - you just had rubbing of genitalia
- took emergency pill
- got normal periods well on time.
This slight pain she is having is most probably a warning for imminent periods on their way as last time her uterus was under effect of pill but no pill this time so body is kind of aching in return.
It will be fine soon and result in periods eventually. In case you have other questions you can contact me on health care magic.
