Riker and Alexa: I've got a secret (Announcing that you're pregnant)

It took way too long to do this, but here you go Alexa!! So Sorry it took so long!!

Alexa's POV

Riker had been away for over a month when finally, he called to say it was their last concert and he'd be home late that night. Obviously I knew that, because I was counting down the DAYS until I got to see him again. 

I had been keeping a secret from him for two weeks now, a secret that I found out I was pregnant. I called Rydel, my best friend, and his sister and made her swear not to tell anyone, but I couldn't keep it all to myself for any longer. "I promise, I promise!" She squealed, "So when'd you find out??" She asked me over the phone. I beamed and sat down on our loveseat in our apartment we had been renting. "Well," I smiled, "I hadn't felt well when I woke up, and had been lagging for almost a week being really sleepy, and i'd been getting really hot for no reason, but couldn't figure out why," I said.

"Finally I missed my little monthly friend for over a week and wondered if I could be pregnant..." I smiled and blushed at telling my first person, not even my family knew yet. "And Riker and I had been trying for a couple of months, but I wasn't expecting it to happen right away!" I laughed, "But I went and picked up five tests all by my lonesome and took three at one time so see if I would get the same reading on them all." I started almost tearing up with excitement, "And when I went to look, all three were positive!" I giggled.

Rydel gasped and squealed over the phone, "I am so excited for you guys!!" She yelled, "You gotta tell Riker!" "I'll wait!" I told her, "I wanna tell him in person." I said, nodding. "Sounds like a plan, I'm excited for- crap!" She whispered, shifting around, "Del?" I asked, "What's wrong?" "Excited for what?" My husband's voice rang out, "Um, nothing, tour, you know," She laughed nervously. "Del..." I whispered to myself. 

"Uh, Okay," Riker chuckled and asked, "Is that Alexa? Can I talk to her?" "Um," Rydel said, "Hang on." "It's fine!" I smiled, waiting on them. "Hi baby girl!" He sounded like he was grinning. "How are ya doing?" He asked. "I'm okay," I said, feeling queasy. 'Come on, not now,' I thought to myself, whining. "Ya sure? You don't sound 100%..." "I'm fine," I say, "But I should really go, I promised I'd meet my mom for lunch..." I said, "I love you," "I love you too A! See you soon," He said, giving the phone a kiss. 

I hung up and ran into the bathroom, feeling sick as ever. 'How am I suppsoed to hide this from him when I'm puking??' I thought, rolling my eyes. I washed my face and went to lay back down in bed, I had taken the week off to spend it with Riker anyways, so why not go back to bed to be rested when he came home.

I woke up to the sun going down and a nice smell in my kitchen, 'No, no, I didn't miss him coming home did I??' I got up slowly and walked down the hallway, "Hello?" I called out in a raspy, sleepy voice. "Hello!!" Rydel called back, "I was starting to wonder if you were ever gonna wake up!" She was turned around washing dishes. "Riker and Rocky's flight got delayed because of bad weather, so I thought I'd help you until he got home!" "Aw, thanks," I smiled, rubbing my eyes... I slept for 4 hours..." I shook my head, "This pregnancy threw me through a loop." I smiled, "I hope I made it though dinner."

"Eat some crackers!" She pointed to the counter. "You went grocery shopping??" I rolled my eyes, "Best sister-in-law EVER!" I smiled, hugging her, "Welcome home I guess!!" I gripped her tightly. "I missed you guys. so much!" "We missed you! This was so hard for Riker not having you with us, but he knew you didn't need to be travelling if you were trying to get pregnant." She winked at me. "I guess it worked!" I beamed.

I picked up my picture from the doctor's office and showed her the little blob on ther screen, "There's baby Lynch!" I pointed out. "Awww!" She smiled, "So cute and blobby!" We giggled. Rydel finished helping me clean up and she left to go back home. Riker was supposed to be home any time now, so I went into our room and put on a cute little dress that wouldn't fit me after a few weeks. I put on a little make up and went to the kitchen to see what Rydel made for dinner, silently hoping I could stand the smell. "Pasta and Salad! Bland!" I praised, "Thank you Rydel!" I smiled, knowing I could eat it easily. 

"Hello??" I heard from the front of the apartment. "Rikey!!" I squealed, "Baby girl?!" He asked curiously, seeing me come around the corner. "Hi!" I smiled, running to him and jumping in his arms. "Hi baby doll..." He whispered as he held me. He kissed the side of my head, and then my cheek, and finally I captured his face in my hands and kissed him remarkably. "I love you!!" I said, kissing him again. 

"You look too gorgeous..." He said to me, setting me down and taking a look at me. "You look scruffy and adorable." I said, feeling his cheek with my petite hand. He smiled at me and kissed me again, "You look different..." He said, spinning me around, "Something's different." He said, leading me into our kitchen and our living room, "Dinner's done, house is clean, you're in a dress, you have lipstick on, on a monday night at 8..." "Well you came home!!" I smiled, "It was a special occasion!" "You don't have socks on..." He pointed out. "Crap!" I whispered, looking down. I always wore socks around our house, but ever since I had gotten pregnant I had been hot all the time and never wore them. 

"What's up?" He smiled at me, sitting on a barstool and pulling me close to him. He hinted with his eyebrows. I looked down and smiled, "I was gonna wait." I said, walking over to fix him a plate of dinner. I pushed his bags over to the laudry room door and sat down to eat dinner. "Wait for what?" He asked, already knowing what I was gonna say. "Alexa," He paused, looking me up and down, "Are you pregnant?" 

I beamed and nodded at him, watching him hope up to kiss me. "You're not joking?" He asked. "No, I'm not," I started crying, "We're gonna have a baby," I smiled at him, wrapping my arms around him. "Baby!" He buried his head in my shoulder and kissed me, lifting me up off of the ground, "Congratulations to us!" I said, "I'm so happy to finally tell you!" "How long?" He asked. "I'm 7 weeks, so basically right when you guys left." I said, holding on to his hands. 

"I'm so excited," he smiled, tearing almost forming in his eyes... "This is amazing.." He sat back down. I got up and gave him the picture, "It's really in there," I showed him. "We're gonna be parents," He kissed my cheek. "And I'm gonna be a Daddy..." He smiled. He took a deep breath and kissed me again, "I'm gonna be a Dad."
