Too Hard To Find (Book Two)

Another Surprise

A Month Later
Veronica's POV

We finally moved! We picked a house about a month ago and we finally got moved in last week. It didn't take long to get the stuff moved in. Especially since Cheryl, Toni, Betty, Kevin, and Sweet Pea were all there to help us. But they weren't the only ones. I had Aaron, Sofia, and Madelyn come down so I could tell them about Jughead and I got engaged in person. I figured it would be better to see their faces in person. And it was worth it. We've already been here for almost two weeks. The kids have their own rooms. It isn't as crowded as it used to be. Honestly, I think we have more room than we actually need for the four of us.

For the past few days, I've had this really weird feeling. It's not a bad feeling. I've just been feeling weird. And I think today is when it hit. It was still kind of early in the morning. Jughead was helping the kids get ready for Preschool and Kindergarten. I was in our room getting around when I suddenly felt sick. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Jughead quickly came in and held my hair back. When I was done I leaned back into him. He held me for a few minutes before saying anything. 

"Baby, are you okay?" He asked me. I sighed.

"I'm fine. It could've been what I ate last night."I told him. Although I highly doubt it. He kissed the top of my head.

"I'll take the kids to school today. You stay home and relax for the day. You've been really stressed lately." He said. I nodded and we both stood up.

"Okay," I mumbled. He put his hand under my chin and made me look at him.

"Relax. Nothing will go wrong if you're not there." He reassured me. I smiled a little.

"Go take the kids to school. I'll text you later." He nodded and left with the kids.

I waited about ten minutes before I did anything. I quickly called Toni.

"Hello?"

"Are you home?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I need you to do me a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

"I'll explain when you get here. I just need you to pick something up for me."

"Veronica, what's going on?"

"I think I might be pregnant."

She was here about half an hour later with the test. If I'm being honest I'm freaking out. I guess she could tell. She grabbed my hand.

"Hey, it'll be fine. No matter what this thing tells you." She reassured me. I nodded. "Why did you need me to get this? Why couldn't you do it?"

"Because I wouldn't have been able to buy it myself," I told her truthfully.

"Everything will be okay." She said again.

"I'm just scared,"

"Of what?"

"Past pregnancies have been so hard on both me and the babies. The first one was a miscarriage. Camila was fine she was just early. I almost lost Camdyn at six months then when I did give birth to him we had to have an emergency C-section. I just don't want to risk the chance of losing another." I told her.

"You won't lose another. You just gotta think positively." She said.

Then the timer went off.

I sighed and grabbed the test. I looked at it and took a deep breath in. I looked at Toni again.

"It's positive," I was both happy and scared. I guess she noticed that because she just pulled me into a hug.

When she left I told her not to tell anyone. Not before I told Jughead. He of all people should be one of the first to know.

By the time he got home with the kids, I was sitting on the couch reading. The kids went to play in their rooms and Jug came and sat next to me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm fine. It's just been a long day."

"Did you get sick again?"

"Once," he pulled me closer to him. I closed the book and cuddled into him.

"I'll make dinner tonight. Don't worry about it." I smiled.

"What did I do to deserve someone like you?" I asked. He laughed. He got up and started making dinner.

As he was cooking the smell of the food started making me feel sick. I just knew I was gonna get sick again. I sighed and ran to the bathroom. I knew he would follow me. And he did. He held my hair back just like he did this morning.

"Veronica, are you okay?" He asked as I stood up. I sighed and looked at him.

"There's something I need to tell you."

"What?"

"You should probably sit down," I said. We both went and sat on the bed. "Don't freak out or anything."

"Can I take a guess?" He asked. I nodded. "You're pregnant,"

"How could you have possibly figured that out?"

"Well, I went through this twice and remember both. Also, I just saw the test in the trash." He smiled. I bit my lip nervously.

"I guess I probably should have hidden that instead."

"I'm not gonna freak out. I'm actually happy. Yeah, it is sooner than what we promised on but it is what is it correct?" This made me smile.

"Again how did I get so lucky?"

"The actual question is how did I get so lucky?" I looked down to hide my smile. "Does anybody else know?"

"Only Toni,"

"Okay. You stay up here. I'll feed the kids and bring you something else." I nodded and he went downstairs. Everything is going just right.
