les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

43. I'm Pregnant

Imagine: Finding out that you are pregnant with Eric's child and being scared to tell him. 

*************************************

You stand in the training room alongside Four and your boyfriend, Eric. As a trainer, it was your responsibility to show the initiates how to spar, however you felt sick to your stomach today. Should I tell Eric? Nah, I'll be fine.

"Y/N and I will be showing you some new fighting techniques today," Eric announces to the initiates. The two of you transferred to Dauntless together, you were from Candor, he was from Dauntless, on the first day of initiation you had gone through your fear landscapes, you and Eric were the only ones in the dorm room, and he had comforted you. You two became fast friends and had started dating soon after; you've been together for almost six years now and are absolutely inseparable.

You step into the mat alongside Eric and he looks at you muttering, "The initiates are so annoying, I fucking hate kids."

You roll your eyes and tell him to start. After demonstrating a few different techniques to the initiates you start to feel dizzy, Eric goes in for a punch and you clutch you mouth gagging, he steps back and you run out of the training room.

"Y/N!" Eric calls after you, his voice laced with concern.

You quickly find the washroom and shut the door behind you, throwing up in the toilet, you don't hear the door opening, but when you feel someone grabbing your hair and rubbing your back, you instantly know that it's Eric.

You step away from the toilet, flushing and rinse out your mouth to get rid of the taste of vomit.

"Are you alright baby?" Eric asks, his eyes filled with worry.

You absentmindedly nod knowing that you should tell him that this has been happening for the past week. But you dread thinking about what the meaning of this might be.

"-okay?" You finally hear Eric say.

"Huh?" You look at him.

"We're you even listening to a word I said Y/N?" Eric asks, you look down at your hands, "of course you weren't, what's gotten into you Y/N? Lately you've been acting so distant, if there's a problem you can tell me baby, if I did something wrong get angry, yell at me, but don't distance yourself like this."

"It's nothing like that Eric, I've just been really tired lately, and I think I might just be getting a fever or something, I'll go to the infirmary later today." You lie.

Eric sees right through the you, but just says, "Alright Y/N, go home and rest, Four and I can take care of the initiates for the rest of the day."

You wait for Eric to go back into the training room before walking towards the pit; you go into one of the drugstores, buy a pregnancy test, and walk back to yours and Eric's shared apartment.

You go into the washroom and put the test to use. You sit on the washroom floor waiting for the result.

You wait for a few minutes and finally build up the courage to look at it; you see a little plus sign on the screen. Fuck. The result is positive, this can't be happening, how will you ever tell Eric?

You sit on the couch, Eric words from earlier today replay in your mind, 'I fucking hate kids.' This wasn't the first time he had admitted something like this to you, you knew how much he disliked kids. Your lip begins to quiver at you let out a whimper, wrapping your arms around your stomach. You can't help but wonder, what if Eric leaves you, or worse yet, what if he makes you get rid of the child. Maybe I shouldn't tell him. No, he is the father, he has the right to know, and I have to tell him. Come on Y/N, you're Dauntless, stop being so scared.

You continue crying until you hear the doorknob rattle, Eric was home. Shit. You quickly wipe your tears, take a deep breath, and go into the bedroom.

"Y/N I'm home!" Eric calls out, you don't respond, knowing that your voice will betray you, "Y/N?"

You hear Eric's footsteps coming closer, and he enters the room, "Y/N? Are you okay? Why weren't you responding to me baby?"

"Eric I-" your voice breaks and you can't continue.

"Y/N, what's wrong?" Eric almost looks scared.

You force yourself to look him in the eyes, and knowing that you will not be able to answer him, you hand him the test. He looks confused at first, but realization soon strikes his face.

"You're pregnant..." He says in shock. He's not happy, fuck he is not happy.

"Pleasedon'tbemadatme,ifyouwantmetoleavethenIwill,I'msorry!" You say quickly.

"Y/N-"

You take a deep breath, "No Eric, i-it's okay, really, I know how much you hate kids, but I'm not getting rid of my child, if you don't want it then I'll leave!"

"But-"

"I'm serious Eric, you won't have to take any responsibility for it, I won't even tell it that you are its father after it is born, you jus-" Eric presses his lips against yours to shut you up, stare at him with wide eyes as he pulls back.

"You just never shut up do you," He says.

"Wait, so you're not upset?" You ask hopefully.

"Did I say that?" His expression hardens and your heart sinks, "Of course I'm upset Y/N."

You look away from him and try to keep yourself from crying.

"I'm upset that you thought I would leave you. I'm upset that you were afraid to tell me any of this. I'm upset that you didn't want to tell me that I-I'm going to be a dad," You look up at him and his face breaks out into a grin. He grabs your shoulders and shakes you happily, "I'm going to be a dad Y/N, a dad!"

You wrap your arms around him and he lifts you up in his arms bridal style, spinning you around, "We're going to be parents Y/N, I can't believe this! Fuck I can't believe this, I'm so fucking happy right now."

He puts you down and kisses you passionately, "I love you Y/N."

"I love you more Eric."

Eric kneels down and kisses your stomach, "and I love you most!"
