Who would have thought that I Skylar Rivers Williams would be married at the ripe old age of twenty-three I didn't, if anything I always thought I would be too wrapped up in my career aspirations to even entertain or dream about being in a relationship let alone happily married to the love of my life.

The past eight months of marriage have passed us by like a leaf dancing in the wind. Feeling like only seconds have passed between us since we said 'I Do' on the beach in Hawaii.

But, the past two weeks haven't been the easiest, for me not in my marriage with Bryan. That's going perfectly but ever since going to see that Doctor after my fall and finally letting the words settle in my mind about my expired shot.

My head is well and truly out of the clouds and smacking back into reality. All of the telltale signs of pregnancy are hitting me at full force, screaming at my mind to allow my heart and soul to connect the dots.

Which leads me to where I am today. Standing in a pharmacy looking at the many pregnancy tests. I know that with the doctor's advisement and the opinions of all my friends that it's probably going to come back positive but I can't help but keep myself in denial, even if only a little bit.

Eight months, that's all the time Bryan and I have had together as husband and wife. A two-person household. What if we haven't had enough time just the two of us?

It was only a few months back that I was struggling with the concept of having kids in the future let alone it being a few months from back then that I'd be worried about it being a part of our reality.

I know everyone around me has probably been cussing me out behind my back at how I wouldn't listen to them or pay attention to any of the signs but I couldn't. My brain wasn't ready to deal with the reality of what my body had been telling me.

So, I ignored all the obvious signs and shoved my head into the sand. Screaming 'La La La La' at the top of my lungs until eventually, everyone around me stopped asking.

Bryan only asked me once before my accident and after the hospital appointment, I know he knows what the doctor had said to me without me having to say anything. He's been making sure I eat three meals a day, regardless of how I'm feeling. He has me on some extra vitamins to help with my calcium, vitamin C and fish oil. All of which task like ass. But, I take them without complaint knowing that it pleases him and eases his worry.

Signs, eventually ignoring them became impossible especially when I woke up yesterday with a new sense of clarity. Everything just seemed to click into place inside my brain, allowing me to process everything I has been suppressing.

Late period, check.

Sore and over-sensitive boobs, check.

Nausea and morning sickness, check.

Headaches, check.

Mood swings, double-check.

Fatigue, check.
