Not A Cinderella

67

April.

"Well April you are nine weeks and six days pregnant" "nine weeks but I.. I have consumed so much alcohol in that time can't that cause issues right?" "So far no so I think it's best you stop now before it's too late" I nodded "and April you need to tell him" "I know".
"Go on. Oh before you go take this" Lucinda handed me the ultrasound picture making me smile. "Yes ma'am thankyou ma'am" Lucinda chuckled.
"I hope he is thrilled April" "me too".
My life is about to change drastically I already know that. Now I have to work out a way to tell him.
Things have been going well since I spoke with Brenton about my concerns. We have been working on it and I don't mean sexually just laying in bed at night holding each other the first few nights were definitely hard but it's getting easier. I know he is there with me, I can see and feel the love he has for me.

Arriving back at the estate Brenton's car wasn't here which is good because i need to organise some things before he gets home.
Running inside I hid the ultrasound then ran to the kitchen.
'shit what can I cook. What can I cook? He seemed to love my marinade. Hmm maybe a Greek lamb with salad. Is that going to be suitable?' shaking my head I seem like I am going crazy. He is my fiance why the hell am I stressing, why am I worried about impressing him. Fucking hell I need a drink. Nope no drinks April you can't drink. Alright pull yourself together.
Making the marinade I put the lamb in it to soak in the seasoning and put it in the fridge. Getting all the ingredients out for the salad I chopped them all up and placed them in the fridge.

Waiting for thirty minutes I started cooking the lamb only to hear a few voices come through the door.
Seeing Brenton, matt, beau and Tommy come in, as happy as I was to see them, I was also disappointed. I really wanted to have this moment with Brenton.
"Hey April" "hey guys" "you were cooking?" "Yes but ahh it's okay. Are you guys coming to have some drinks?" "We thought why not its the place to be now christian has sold the pub" "he sold it?" Beau nodded "last drinks were last night" "fair enough".
Finishing cooking the meat, all the guys went outside. I put it aside and walked out the front. I was hoping Oakley was on but no luck.
"April are you looking for someone?" "Yeah I was looking for Oakley" "he worked this morning" I nodded "April is everything okay? Is there something you need to talk about?" "No it's okay. I'm going to go inside and grab my keys I have somewhere I need to be" "okay" "bye zeth" "bye".

Grabbing my keys to the Evo, I unlocked the garage and started it up. Reversing out of the garage I took off down the drive way, lucky enough zeth already had the gates open.

Sitting at the cemetery I got out and moved to Zane's grave.
'well Zane it seems I'm pregnant. I was going to tell Brenton tonight but I guess I have to wait. What a surprise it was to find out and I was so nervous and happy to show him but that didn't happen. I was stressing for nothing'.
Hearing my phone ring I looked at who was calling. To see Oakley calling, I answered.
"Hey Oakley what's the reason for your call?" "Zeth said you were looking for me?" "Ahh yeah I thought maybe you were working" "April is there something you need to talk about?" "Umm no it's okay Oakley I will see you when you are on the grounds" "no. Where are you?" "At the cemetery" "give me ten minutes okay" "you don't need to come down" "I know but I am" "okay".

I thought it might have been Brenton calling but I guess he's busy. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I like this? Stupid pregnancy hormones I bet.

"April?" "Hey Oakley" putting my head down he pulled me in for a hug "what's going on April?" I shook my head against his chest "I don't know I'm just.. I'm fucking stupid my emotions are all over the place" "okay this isn't like you. Come on come sit" following Oakley we moved to a bench seat near Zane's grave.
"Oakley I'm umm I'm pregnant" "that's great news April, I'm really happy for you too. But you don't seem happy?" "I'm happy. The only thing is I don't know if Brenton will be. I was going to tell him tonight.." "he doesn't know?" "No. I was going to tell him tonight. I had made dinner for both of us but he ended up bringing matt, beau and Tommy back. I love those guys and as much as I was happy to see them.." "you wanted to tell Brenton alone" I nodded "but all the effort just went down the drain. Shit" "those hormones already huh" I let a small laugh slip as I wiped the tears "yeah.. god fucking help me" Oakley laughed "and us" "sorry in advance" "I will take anything you throw at me. Don't let tonight hold you back April I understand you put in that effort.."

Brenton

Where the hell did April go. She had cooked dinner and the table was set for two. Why would she set it for two when the guys are here. now she has just gone. She isn't anywhere in the house. Walking out the front the garage was open and the Evo was gone. "Zeth do you know where April went?" "No she came out looking for Oakley then said she had somewhere to be" why Oakley? She needed to talk. What is going on I thought she'd be happy to have the guys around. Dinner and the table was set? Did she not think I was going to be home and organized to have dinner with him? 'what the hell are you thinking April?'
Leaving the guys at the house I drove around the city looking for her car but I couldn't find it. Getting to the cemetery both their cars were there. Getting out I headed straight to Zane's grave to see them sitting on a bench seat her head resting against his shoulder. "Don't let tonight hold you back April I understand you put in that effort" "what the fuck is going on here?" "Hey man" "Brenton I thought you were having beers with the guys" "and this is why you two are here. Did I interrupt your dinner and now you have to do it elsewhere is that it.." "no you have got it all wrong I had.." "bullshit after fucking everything.." "man you need to listen to what she has to say.." "I'm not listening to this bullshit" "I'm sorry" April walked off to her car while I looked at Oakley with anger. "You two went behind my fucking back.." "would you fucking listen to yourself I'm gay Brenton.." "pfft it's a fucking act. I know you two were planning to have dinner that's why she wasn't happy to see me when I got home" I shook my head.
"You are fucking wrong. She had the fucking dinner set up for you two to tell you she is fucking pregnant... Oh shit I shouldn't have said that.. she is going to kill me" "what?" "I'm sorry I just.. it slipped out.." "she's pregnant?" "She was going to tell you over dinner but you brought the guys back that's why she gave off that vibe of not being happy. She came here to talk to Zane and zeth rang me. I found her here and we spoke. She told me because she knew I wouldn't say anything and now I ruined the surprise. I'm sorry I'm a fucking idiot" "she's, she's pregnant.. I.. I'm speechless. I just had a go at you two and now she.. shit. I'm sorry Oakley, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and I'm sorry but I really have to go after her" "don't be angry at her for telling me first, she needed someone to talk to. She was already nervous because she didn't know what your reaction would be. Then she broke down because her plans were ruined. Her hormones are all over the place at the moment" I nodded "I can't be angry at that. I'm angry at myself for thinking that way. I'm really sorry" "it's okay man just go sort it out" I nodded.
Running to my car, I jumped in and started it up. My fiance is pregnant. She made that dinner for the two of us and she was going to tell me I feel like an absolute ass.
Getting back to the house her car wasn't here. Fuck.
Calling her phone it took a while for her to answer but when she did she sounded disoriented.
