Luke's POV
I was walking through downtown Nashville and I saw someone pointing at me. I looked over there curiously and waved. A man walked over to me and he looked about my age. "Hey,my name is Michael Carter. I saw you playing at the bar last night and that song was great! Looks like you need a guitarist!" He said. I got excited but hid it. "Sure dude! What's your number and I'll call you later tonight. I told him as he wrote his number down and gave it to me.
He seemed like the country kinda guy.
I went home and waited for Amber to get home from vet school so I could tell her the good news. She got home at 3:30. "Hey! Guess what!" I said. She turned around nervously. "You okay?" I asked her. She looked like a mix between happy, nervous, and sad. "Umm.. Yeah I'm fine." She said with a half smile on her face. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't wanna bother her about it if she didn't wanna talk about it. I just waited to tell her my good news.
About 2 hours later I saw her sitting on the couch looking down at something and wiping tears from her face. She saw me coming and hid it. "Are you sure you're fine? You've been awfully quiet." I said wiping a tear away from her eye. She looked at me again. "Yep totally cool.." She said.
I wasn't gonna invade her with questions so I sat in the bedroom watching Nascar and she came in an hour later. "Luke I need to tell you something." She said still crying.
"Luke.. I'm.. I'm pregnant."
I looked at her with wide eyes. "What?! When did we... Oh yeah......" I said. She smiled and I hugged her tightly.
I ran to the phone to tell mama and daddy but I second thought about it.
I still decided to call her and tell her.
"Hey mama.. You're gonna be.... A umm." I stuttered. "Cmon boy! Spit it out!" She said. I laughed and said, "Mama, you're gonna be a grandma."
There was a silence for a second. "Thomas Luther Bryan! What have you been doing?!" She said jokingly. I laughed. We talked about it for a while and daddy got in on it too.
They told us to come over in a week and visit. I couldn't wait because I was planning to take Amber out to that forest we went to. It was the last date we went on before I left. I couldn't wait!
