“You’re—wait, you’re what?”
“I’m pregnant, Kale.” I mumbled, my face still buried in my blankets.
“How? When? What?”
“Kale, just shut up.” I begged.
He was immediately silent, and then he asked a question that even I hadn’t thought about.
“Who’s baby?”
“How am I supposed to know?”
“Am I the father?” He asked hopefully.
Oh, there was a little hope! Please let the baby be Kale’s. Please. Please.
“I don’t know, Kale!” I snapped at him.
“I am now.”
“But, what if you’re not?”
“You are not telling Cam about this.”
“But if he’s the father…”
“Shut up. He’s not.” Kale hissed at me.
“Kale, what if he is?”
“Would you consider abortion?”
“No!”
“Think about it, Han.”
“I did think about it. No.”
“Hanna, it’s—“
“No!” I screamed at him, and he went silent.
I uncovered my face, taking a peak at his face.
“Adoption?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you call Nikki?”
“Nikki?” I wondered aloud, but then I remembered she was in the same position as me at one point.
I just sat there in silence, and Kale wrapped his arms around me. I cuddled against his chest and cried. I cried for hours, just sitting there in silence.
“Babe,” Kale finally whispered.
I looked up at him. My vision was blurred from the tears blocking my eyes. He used his thumb to wipe away the tears falling from my eyes, and he kissed my forehead.
“I’m not mad at you. I hope you know that,”
“I know,”
“And, even if I’m not the father, I’m sure as hell going to act like one.”
“That means a lot,”
“I love you, Hanna.”
“Kale?”
“Yeah?”
“When we first saw each other, when we were little, did you ever thing we’d be where we are?”
“Yeah,”
“Really?”
“I didn’t expect all the events, but I knew that we’d always be together helping each other through any unexpected events.”
“Really?” I smiled at him.
“Yeah, babe. I love you, with all my heart.”
“I love you too,” I whispered before pressing my lips gently against his.
“I want to be this baby’s dad. Biological, or not.”
“You’re amazing,”
“Are you going to be able to do this?”
“Probably not,”
“Are you sure you don’t want to—“
“No abortions.” I growled back at him, and he laughed a little.
“All right, baby. All right,”
I couldn't help but smile and finally feel happy. I mean, I was having a baby. In a way, that's good. Right? Of course. This baby will bring me joy, and love, and I'll love him or her forever.
"We should go to a doctor," Kale suggested.
"Yeah, yeah I'd like that." I smiled at him, realizing that this was real.
All of this was real.
"It might be too early to tell."
"Earlier, that was morning sickness. Is it too early to have morning sickness if it's Cam's baby?" I asked hopefully.
"Maybe,"
"So, maybe it's your baby!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around Kale's neck.
"Oh, baby. I hope so. I'd give anything."
"But, didn't we use--"
"It doesn't always work."
"But, I thought that--"
"I know, baby. But, let's just hope."
"But Cam didn't--"
"It might be too early,"
"But I--"
"Hanna, I love you."
He silenced my voice by pressing his lips against mine.
"I love you too, Kale. And," I smiled, looking down at my flat stomach, "I love you, baby."
