Chapter 8: The Test

It's been a month since...well I'm not going to sugar coat it, since Ryan raped me. The morning after Emerson rescued me, the cops showed up to let us know Ryan was arrested and being charged for aggravated assault, rape, attempted murder, kidnapping, and homicide. Before me he raped multiple exes and murdered them after, any longer without Emmett and I would've been dead. I'm so thankful for him! Continuing to present time...

I wake up early in the morning to feeling super sick, Emerson is cuddled up with me, I jump up and run to his bathroom puking in the toilet. I lean up against the shower, when he rushes in asking if I'm ok. Realizations hits, 'what if I'm pregnant?!'
"I'm not sure...what if I'm pregnant?!" I mean it would make sense right??" I question to him.

"I mean yeah guess it's possible, do you think you are?" He asks. I stand up and look in the mirror lifting up his hoodie to reveal my stomach, that has grown twice the normal size. I look up at him scared, "I think I'm pregnant." He looks shocked, I reach under the bathroom sink in the cupboard, where I keep extra test for literally no reason, it wasn't like I was planning on having sex anytime soon.

I grab a test out of a box and shew him out of the bathroom and take the test, I set it down on the counter and walk out to see Emerson sitting on the edge of his bed waiting for me, "so?" He asks, "nothing yet we have to wait." I tell him.

"What if I'm pregnant? It has to be his...would we keep it and raise it as if it were yours?" I question.

"I do not care if it's his, I will raise this baby as my own...if you are pregnant that is."

I look up at him and kiss him. My phone timer goes off and I look at him with excitement and fear. I walk to the bathroom and grab the test face down taking it to Emerson. I sit down next to him looking at him for reassurance and he nods, I flip it face up and it reads
'Pregnant' I sign in disbelief, "we'll I'll be damned..." I remark.

"Hey look, we'll get through this together, I promise you this." He says sounding confident.

I nod and smile, "What do we tell the others? I'm already starting to show..."

"I say we should tell them now... I mean we can have the shower around Christmas, it is in a few days." He says sounding excited.

I smile at him, "that sounds perfect!" I say kissing him.

We walk downstairs to find Lane and Erin snuggling on the couch together, "Guess they got tired." I joke, Emmett laughs and nods walking down the stairs with me.

I shake the two awake, "guys wake up there's something important I need to tell you." They both are started by me waking them but instantly sit up. "What? What is it?" They both ask sounding groggy, I hand them the test and it takes them a minute to process it but soon enough Erin screams and tells us, "YAY!!! I get to be a godmother!! Omg I get to spoil the baby!!" She sounds so excited which makes me excited, they don't even question if it was Emerson's baby because I think they already knew.

We all laugh at her response and Lane hugs me congratulating me, "I'm happy for you two, you guys deserve this, genuinely." He says smiling at us, which makes me smile. Erin noticed my belly already popping out, she rubs it and kisses it, which makes me laugh. "Your so weird but I love you so much!" She laughs along with me, which makes the boys chime in.

"Well we were thinking for Christmas you guys could just get us baby stuff??" Emerson states, "OMG!! Yes!! I can't wait! Wait...is it a boy or girl? You know I'll just do both!" She says fast. "Don't get ahead of yourself!!" I laugh.

"Can we go shopping right now?!" She asks.

"Dude we just found out like a couple minutes ago!" I remark giggling. "Let's do online shopping, I'll create a registry, it'll be easier plus it's to close to Christmas and too many people are out." Me saying that causes Emmett to chuckle out. I slap his shoulder, he puts his hand to his forehead being dramatic, I roll my eyes grabbing my laptop from the table opening it to Amazon searching for baby stuff to add to the registry. We spend the next couple hours researching for the perfect items.

"Done! I love this." I smile, "just add it to the cart! I'll buy it all!" Erin states, "are you sure??" I ask her, she nods, and adds it all the the cart using her card to order it all. "Thank you so much Erin! Your the best I love you so much!" I say hugging her.

~Christmas morning~

I wake up to feel Emmett waking me up, "Hey beautiful! Everyone else is awake and ready to open presents, cmon let's go." I pull my hair up into a messy bun and head down stairs, I see Erin handing out gifts to Lane and placing the others in her spot, mine and Emerson's spot. "Morning mama!" Erin exclaims, smiling at me. She's been calling me 'mama' lately since I'm pregnant, I love it.

I walk down stairs and sit down next to Emmett, Erin hands me 20+ gifts, I open them and most are baby stuff but the rest is self care items like face masks, Starbucks gift card, headbands for face masks, and face serums. I thank her and watch as everyone else opens their gifts.

After gifts Lane and Emmett go into the kitchen and make breakfast for us girls while me and Erin sit at the table talking about baby names, "ok if it's a boy wilder, if it's a girl Annalise." I question but also state, Erin smiles in agreement, "I still think it's going to be twins and if it is...say it's boy and boy - Rocky and Rowen, but if it's girl and girl Novaleigh and Haislee, but if it's boy and girl - Cove and Bretta." I still have no clue why she's obsessed with the fact she thinks I'm going to have twins. "We need to plan a gender reveal." She tells us. "Seriously?! We don't even know the gender yet!" I say palming my face. She laughs at me.

The boys bring us breakfasts and we sit and eat, we talk about nursery ideas, gender reveal ideas, and wether we think it's going to be a boy or girl.
