Alive | Rafe Cameron

Part 55

"When do you get to move in?" I ask Rafe. We are now laying in the bed of his truck, staring up at the night stars.

"Beginning of next week." He tells me as he runs his hand gently through my hair. "Have you talked to John B?"

I shake my head no. "I'm going to soon. Just trying to mentally prepare myself."

"Have you told anyone? I mean, about the baby?"

"Only Kie, she went with me to the doctors this morning."

"Ya know, we could turn one of the bedrooms at the house into a nursery."

I smile at his suggestion. Of course this is something I've started to think about. What are my options? Try to stuff a crib into my already small bedroom at the chateau? Moving in with Rafe now seems like the obvious choice. And not just because of the baby, but because I've realized that is what I truly want. "That sounds great."

He sits up and looks at me fully. "Yeah?"

I shake my head yes and he excitedly pulls me into his chest. Now I just need to find a way to break the news to my brother.

*the next morning*

I wake up and feel the now familiar churning in my stomach, racing to the bathroom. The door is closed and locked.

"Hey! I'm trynna drop a deuce!" JJ shouts from the other side of the door when he hears me trying to get in.

Knowing I can't wait much longer, I run to the back door and end up spilling the contents of my stomach off the side of the porch and into the grass. Entering back into the house, I grab a bottle of water and drink half of it before I go to John B's room. "Hey, bubba." He turns around to face me. "Can we talk?" He agrees and follows me outside to the hammock, we both have a seat in it.

"What's up?"

"Okay so, there are two things I need to tell you so please wait until I finish to freak out." He raises an eyebrow at me and waits for me to continue. "So... Rafe just bought a house and he has asked me to move in with him..." John B opens his mouth to say something but I hold up a finger at him, he closes his mouth and waits. "...I wasn't sure if I was going to at first, but now I've decided I am. Also..." I pause for a second, scared to say the next two words. "...I'm pregnant."
