Bless whoever thought it would be a good idea to put multiple pharmacies in the Olympic Village. They are saving my ass right now. I go to walk into the elevator but Mikayla and Lauren come out. "Hey, we were looking for you."
"Why?" I ask quickly, "Sorry, Brie doesn't feel good. I had to get some Tylenol for her." I hate lying so much. They can probably tell.
"Oh, we just wanted to know what time you planned on coming down here."
"Probably around two. Christian's off today so he's taking her with him to the venue. We have to be there a bit early so around two."
"Okay. I hope she feels better."
"Yeah, me too."
I push the floor number as I get in. I unlock the room, "Did they come here?"
"Yeah, they were looking for you. I told them you were downstairs. Do you honestly think you're pregnant?"
"I don't know, maybe. I think it's a good possibility that I am. It's not like we've been doing anything to prevent it."
I kick my shoes off and put the box of tests in the bathroom. I grab my water bottle and start chugging water. I cannot be pregnant. No fucking way. "They had tests down there?" he asks, looking at the box.
"They have about everything you can think of. The weird thing is that there weren't many boxes left."
"Are you taking these now?"
"After this water goes through me."
"I finished the sandwich so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"You're enjoying this way too much right now."
I finish what I can in the to-go box. Brie picks at what I have left. I take one of the unused coffee cups they left on the desk and take it with me into the bathroom. I read the instructions since I haven't done this in a while. It couldn't have changed that much.
I dipped both tests for fifteen seconds before capping them. I put a towel over them as I get cleaned up. I set a timer on my phone before opening the door. I sit on the ledge of the tub as Christian walks in.
"For the record, I'm not going to be mad if they do turn out positive. I'm just freaking out a bit."
He puts his arm around me, "I know."
I hold my head in my hands as we wait for the timer to go off. He rubs my back. This is not the news that I thought we would have to be dealing with. The timer goes off and I stop it. "Can you look at them? I can't."
He gets up and brings both tests with him. He kneels in front of me before flipping them over. I watch his face. He smiles. I nod and smile, "Okay. Awesome."
He turns them so I can see them. Pregnant and two lines. He puts them on the counter, still facing me, "Are you okay?"
I smile, "Yeah, just taking it in." Not at all what I expected to learn today.
I hug him. He holds me as we hug, "No more crazy dives, okay?"
I laugh, "Okay."
I know I said maybe soon. I didn't think it would be this soon. He kisses me a few times. "I didn't think I'd be right."
I laugh, "I know."
"We're having another baby," I say quietly. I am happy about this. I just think the timing of finding out is throwing me off.
He smiles, "Yeah, we are." I can't be more than a month along. If I'm not late at the moment. Wow. I don't have many words.
I head into the bathroom after getting ready for our match. I think I'm just nervous but I'm not sure. I can blame it on pregnancy too.
