What should I do if I have forgotten a pill from my contraceptive?

Question

Hello, I forgot to take my birth control pill for 2 days (Thursday and Friday of the 2nd week of the pack) so I took my two pills as soon as I realized it which was on Saturday when I had a relationship with my boyfriend. I took my Saturday pill on Sunday morning and my Sunday pill on Sunday evening. I have forgotten my pill before and have never gotten pregnant. Am I at risk of getting pregnant? Should I take the morning-after pill?
