In The Future | Five Hargreeves

13 | Wondrous times

She held her stomach from pain and pacing back and forth inside the bathroom, keeping her sobs as quiet as possible while waiting for the result, her hands shaking from fear and her lips quivering.

Her eyes widened when the result came up seeing two red lines appear in the tester causing her to cover her mouth tightly as her sobs became even more louder.

It's official. She was indeed carrying his child.

How will she say this to him? They aren't even married yet, they were only engaged.

She gathered herself together and breathed heavily before opening the bathroom door to find his fiance, peacefully reading a book on the couch. She bit her lower lip harshly, thinking that for sure it was now bleeding.

"Five?"
"Yeah?" he asked and raised his head to her.

He immediately closed the book and stood up when he saw her face tear-stained and her lips quivering from fear, "What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? Are you sick?" he asked worryingly while walking her towards the sofa and touching her forehead.

"I'm sorry..." she said and finally let her tears out, covering her face from shame which caused him to frown in worry, "What? What do you mean?"

"Five... I'm pregnant."

And just like that, he felt his whole world change. Like everything else didn't matter, the Commission, his family, time travel. It was just the love of his life carrying his child and felt like he received the best gift in his entire life.

"Y-you're what? Are you serious?" he asked in disbelief, just to be sure he was hearing it right.

"I'm sorry. I-I did the test and I know you still wanted the Commission to grow and travel around the world and now I feel like I just destroyed our lives..." she cried as the watch started beeping causing her to clutch her shirt tightly.

"Y/N, breathe. Just breathe..." he said softly and stroked her back. She did what she was told as her heart rate slowed down along with the sound of the watch fading away. But she still continued sobbing, not having an urge to even wipe her tears away.

"Hey, hey, hey... I'm not mad, okay?" Five assured and wiped her tears using his thumbs.

"Y-you aren't?"

"Of course, I'm not. I promised, remember? I promised I wouldn't leave you no matter what happens." he said softly while holding her face as she nodded, "And I don't break promises. I love you so much." he whispered and pecked her cheek.

"You aren't feeling forced or anything?" she frowned "Trust me, I don't. Having a family with you is the best thing that happened to me. Besides the two of us getting married, of course." he answered causing her to chuckle.

"Now, will you let me take care of you?"
