I'm on birth control and missed one pill. boyfriend put it in 10 seconds and never came inside. brown spotting 4 days before period. pregnant?

Can't rule it out: Its not impossible as even with perfect use the pill is only about 97% effective and most men produce pre cum well before ejaculation which may well have 20 million or more sperm. To be safe check a pregnancy test and consider using a condom back up.
