Unexpected Reunion

Telling Damon

     I decided to go shopping for some clothes for work.  Katie and Linda wanted to come but I just needed some time to myself.  As I was searching through clothes, I suddenly felt sick.  I took off running towards the bathroom and ran right past Damon. 

When he saw me, he called after me. "Saint, what is wrong?"

I made it to the bathroom, but it was occupied.  Damon caught up to me and when I turned around, I started to throw up.  He backed up enough so luckily, I only got his shoes.

"Damon, I am so sorry." 

He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder, "relax it's okay. Are you alright though?" 

I nodded my head. "Yes, I think I need to go home and lay down." 

"Well please let me come with you. Make sure you get home ok."

"No, that's ok. I can manage, thank you though." I started to walk away but then realized I probably should tell Damon.  I figured he would be mad and not talk to me anymore just like Shane, but he deserved to know. I turned around.

"Actually, yea, do you think that you could follow me home?  There is something that I would like to talk to you about. Also, we should wash your shoes."  He chuckled a little bit before answering.

"Yes, absolutely that would be no problem. I will be right behind you."

He followed me home and I was starting to get nervous.

We made it inside and I turned towards him.

"Let me go brush my teeth quickly and I will be right back."

He sat down on the couch.  "Alright, I'll be here."  I walked over to his shoes and grabbed them, I would also try to wash them off. He jumped up.

"No Saint, let me do that!" I pushed him back on the couch and he fell on it with a laugh.

"You just sit there, I will be right back.  And no arguments!"

"Yes ma'am!"  I laughed as I walked to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth out.  Now I felt a little better. I used some wipes and got the vomit off his shoes.  Luckily there wasn't too much on them, so it didn't take me too long.

I walked back out into the living room, put his shoes down, and sat down next to him.  He turned to look at me.  It was now or never.

"Ok, so I guess I will just come right out and say it.  I'm pregnant."

The way his eyes lit up just made me feel even guiltier.  "I guess I should also say that I'm not sure who the father is." 

 He stood up and I prepared for him to be mad and leave me. But he surprised me. He pulled me up and wrapped his arms around my neck. I wasn't sure what to do with my arms, but I decided to wrap them around him. 

Then I heard Damon say. "I'm sorry but we know that this is my baby. I feel it and after some time I know you'll feel it too. I am going to be a daddy!"

I pulled back and looked into his eyes.  "You aren't mad at me for not knowing?"

He kissed my forehead.  "Are you kidding, there is nothing to be mad at you for.  I knew that you were with someone when we got together.  So of course, there would that small possibility that Shane could have knocked you up.  But I feel it in my heart.  This baby is mine. I mean with a love like we have, of course, a baby would have come from it. I will be here for you every step of the way.  I love you so much Saint."
