Chapter 7: Robin, I'm Pregnant

(Steve: 10 weeks)

"That will be four dollars," Steve said, the customer handed him the money. "Thank you."  He put the money in the drawer. "Have a nice day!"

"You too, Steve." The customer replied, before walking away. "You seem like you're feeling better," Robin said while wiping the counter off. "What do you mean?" then he realized he didn't tell her yet. "Well, Since we're by ourselves, I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Steve?"

"Before I even tell you, remember when I got those painful stomach cramps the other day?"

"Yeah, I do, I remember it very well," Robin replied.

"Well, Robin, You're going to be an aunt." Robin's face turned white. "What?" Steve pulled his shirt tight. "I'm pregnant." Robin couldn't believe what came out of her co-worker's mouth, without thinking, she hugged him. "Congratulations!" 

"Thank you so much!" Steve said. "How long are you?" she asked

"Ten Weeks with twins." Robin looked surprised.  "Twins!"

"Yepper!"  Robin was speechless. "This is...wow..."  Steve nodded, happy to see his co-worker being so happy for him and Billy. "How you been feeling?"

"I have every symptom ever for ten weeks." Steve replied, "I'm always tired, I have really bad nausea, My mood changes all the time, I could be crying one minute, next minute, I could be yelling at Billy for no reason, Being happy the next."

Robin's eyes grew big while Steve talked. "I have this stupid metallic taste in my mouth, my pecks are really sore." Robin laughed. "Sorry, go on." Steve went on.  "I really have indigestion bad, like really bad, same with Dizziness, cramping, headaches, my hair is thicker and shiner, and I feel more bloated than normal." Steve blabbed.

"I'm sorry you have so many things to go threw, Steve."

"It's fine, I told Dustin, he's really happy for Billy and me, we have yet to tell the rest of the kids." The older male replied, looking at his friend. "I'm feeling good today for a change."

"That's good to hear, your skin looks amazing!" Steve laughed at her. "Thank you."

"If I got pregnant will my skin look as good as yours?"

"I don't recommend pregnancy."

"Oh."

"Yeah, Sorry, Robin."

"Why are you saying sorry?" Robin replied, "You didn't anything wrong so, why are you apologizing." 

"I don't know."  Robin put her hands on her friend's shoulders. "I'm really happy for you, Dingus." Steve smiled at that nickname. "I knew you would be." 

"I am, we're like best friends, of course, I'll be happy." She smiled warmly at him. "Billy's really lucky to have you."  Steve nodded, feeling his eyes get all watery. "Damn hormones."

"Oh, your hormones are going to be all over the place," Robin replied, handing her friend a napkin to wipe his eyes. "I cry over the stupidest things."

"My mom was the same way when she was pregnant with me." Robin informed, "She told me that she cried for an hour after my dad told her no."  Steve laughed. "Really?"

"Have Billy told you no?"

"No, actually he's been trying to make me happy since I found out I was pregnant." Robin's eyes got big. "Really? Well, Hargrove softened up then." 

"Yeah, Billy changed." Steve replied, "He's been really good to me."

"That's great to hear." Robin said, "Well, Let's get back to work, shall we?"
