Chapter twenty four

Bubbles were overflowing from the bath as I put too much soap into it, this only made Henry roll his eyes as if he was about to tell me off. "Next time I will make the bath"

Laughs erupted from me as I grabbed some of the bubbles, placing it on Henry's chin so he now looked like Santa Clause.

"Hey!! Stop that" Henry whined, flapping his arms away from me as I got even more soap in my hands, placing it all over his face.

Henry looked a state, his whole face was now devoured by these bubbles and it made me fall to the floor with happy tears flowing from my eyes. "I-I don't think I've seen something so funny"

Henry simply frowned, only making his face look even funnier.

"Your turn!"

Shaking my head reluctantly I tried to pick myself from the floor quickly but it was too slow, Henry had ahold of my body as he shoved me into the bath. Clothes still on which only made me squirm. "Henry!!!"

"Okay okay... I'll help you up"

Glaring at him I flicked off the bubbles on my cheeks and picked a thick, wet strand of hair away from my face. He outstretched his hand which I gladly took but without a second thought I dragged him into the bath with me, creating a big overflow of water from the bath.

"You little shit" Henry chuckled which only amused me more.

"You're not meant to laugh- you're meant to say ho ho ho"

Glaring back at me with the same demeanour I gave him, Henry pushed his body on top of me so I was now deeper into the water, making me flap my legs and arms. "You're heavy!!"

"Yes but I want a kiss"

My body instantly softened from his words so I bared his weight and met my lips with his.

"I think we should be naked in the bath don't you think?"

Giggling I nodded as we both helped one another peel off one another's clothes.

Henry and I were making breakfast though this time with his expertise the food would taste amazing. Least I hoped as my pancakes made me feel poorly last time.

"Here we go Mrs Cavill" Henry spoke whilst wiggling his eyebrows, passing me a plate of food which was an omelette.

Smiling with delight I tucked in right away, the food filling my belly quickly. "This is amazing, wow Henry"

Henry smirked "now- I haven't heard that one before"

Frowning I blushed lightly, knowing full well what he was referring to. "Stop it"

Henry then sat beside me with his own plate of food, we both happily ate it. Snagging small stares at one another. "So, what should we do today?"

Henry pursed his lips together "I was thinking we have a movie day. Binge watch a few shows and eat to our hearts content"

Gleefully I nodded "I would love that"

Standing up from my chair after eating I put my plate into the sink, washing it up. "What's the date today anyway? I've kind of got lost with time since... we have been spending so much time together"

Turning away so my back pressed against the counter "Do I look like I know myself ?"
Shaking my head with a laugh escaping my lips I grabbed my phone. Looking at the date.

"It's November 10th-"

Henry raised an eyebrow as to why I suddenly stopped talking "is there a problem? Forget an appointment?"

I shook my head hastily, my heart slightly swelling as all the air got sucked out of my body. "N-no"

Quickly I rushed up the stairs, almost tripping over myself where I grabbed my toiletry bag. Inside I saw that I hadn't used my tampons, which means I'm late for my period.

My legs began to walk me side to side of the room, not knowing if it was due to stress or something more. I couldn't be pregnant, I haven't yet spent enough time with Henry. I can't strain our new relationship like this.

Falling to the floor I felt tears erupt from my eyes "it's one thing after another"
I took the pill so I was so confused why I would be late for my period, I never was late. Unless or course it was due to other reasons than being pregnant.

Knocking on the door alerted me from my thoughts as I briskly wiped my salted tears away. My legs carrying me over as I planted a fake smile on my lips.

"Are you okay?" Henry queried, opening the door seeing my tear stained face.

I nodded "yes, I'm okay! Why wouldn't I be?"

Henry knitted his brows together "you've been crying Melanie"

This only made me start crying again, tears erupting and making loud sobs erupt from my mouth. "Shhh it's okay, please tell me what's wrong" Henry spoke with a comforting voice, pulling me in close so my head was now laid into his chest.

"It's nothing, honestly"

"I know that's not true.." Henry responded with concern lathering his words. "Tell me"

I pushed away from him, turning on my heel "please just let me have some time?"

Henry lowered his gaze, looking quite hurt "have I done something wrong?"

Biting my lips I sat on the edge of my bed, tracing circles against my legs as habit "not at all, I just need to figure some things out"

Henry nodded reluctantly, clearly not wanting to leave my room but my eyes told him that he had already overstayed. "Talk to me when you're ready"

My bedroom door then closed, leaving me alone to ponder my thoughts. There was only one way to find out for sure, that was to get a test.

*

Sitting in the bathroom on the toilet seat with my legs shaking I impatiently waited for the timer to end on my phone so I could look at the test, ready to confirm if what was happening was due to me being pregnant.

Henry had been so concerned all day and I hated making him feel that way. Though I wasn't against the idea of him caring about me, it was rather sweet how he has been towards me. Spiralling out of my love fuelled feelings I turned back to the 'what if I'm pregnant' scenario. After all Henry has his career to think about, we also have just started something good in our lives. I do not want to ruin anything at all. The very thought hurts my heart. We definitely were not in the position to bring a little human into this world.

Finally the alarm sounded on my phone, gingerly I grabbed the test with my eyes tightly squeezed together. "Please please"

The room spun and my mind went foggy, it was almost unbearable to take a look at the results- I was not ready to be a mother right now.

Hesitantly I peeled open my reddened eyes from crying so much, seeing the very thing I feared.

"I-I'm pregnant"
