Chasing Champions

A new way of life as we know it

Sarah POV:

After a few days to just us at home relaxing and me getting my strength back up to a healthy level I was feeling a lot better. The whole time Chase would help me do everything, and hovering over me protectively. And I understand why he was that way, I was honestly scared about doing anything to harm our child. We hadn't told anyone else yet, we just wanted to come to terms with it all and come up with a game plan, which we had yet to do. With a last glance to the view of the tree line from my spot in the window I sit down my book I was reading and get up and head downstairs where Chase was. As I was entering the living room I pause, seeing him engrossed with a cartoon on the TV I couldn't help but laugh. When he heard me laughing his head snapped to me then dived for the remote and changed it to a sports channel like I hadn't already caught him. Shaking my head I slide down next to him, his arms automatically going around me causing me to relax into him with ease. Before I could open my mouth and ask about if he had any ideas about how to handle this he spoke up,

"I guess we should figure out how and what to do about all this. Honestly we don't have to worry about money or a income, we both have money and will still be making money. We are stable and all that on that side of things. But how to tell my parents and your aunt and uncle I have no idea, scares the shit out of me to be honest."

I nod my head in agreement to what he had said. We could afford to have a baby, we had or could get what we would need without a problem. It was telling our families and the actual having the baby part that scared us both. We were young, not married, haven't been together for all that long, and still kids ourselves in a lot of ways. I know they won't be happy, that they will tell us we weren't ready for this step in life yet and they would be right, but we don't have a choice anymore. I lay my legs over his lap turn myself so I could prop myself up against the couch on my side and answer,

"I agree, that part we don't need to stress about. And I know they are not going to be happy about it, at least with it happening this early in our relationship or with us as young as we are. But I truly believe they will stand by our side still even though we will get the 'I told you so' talk quite a few times. What we really need to talk about is living status and how we are going to get everything ready, because since I'm little over 3 months along and I don't have much time before I won't have the energy or the ability to do a whole lot to help."

As Chase mused over what I had just said I began to think about how to tell my aunt and uncle. I knew without a doubt they would help with anything they could while they would give us a pretty good lecture about it all but would still be family. I don't know how Chase's dad would react as much, I think he would be pretty disappointed but would still stand by his son. His mom on the other hand, I have no idea seeing as I hadn't even meet the women yet and now it wasn't a meeting I was looking forward too. As I was thinking he brought up a hand and started to run it though my hair softly and spoke,

"Yeah they won't but they will still be supportive. And about where to live, here. I want you to live here with me, so I can help with anything and everything you need. I want you here for every step, so we can go through this together. From the morning sickness to you glowing while carrying our child. I want to be there for all of it."

I couldn't help but tear up as I look at this man in awe. In awe of just how utterly amazing he really is, and how lucky I was to have a man that was way to good for me as mine. I gave him a quick kiss before agreeing,

"I was hoping you'd say that, I rather like this house. Ok so for the babies room, your man cave needs to go."

His eyes go wide as he straightens up in shock,

"What? Why my man cave? Why does it have to be that room?"

I give him a look with a raised eyebrow and explain,
