❤️Sodapop's love story ❤️

Chapter 4

Soda and I have been happily married for two years and our lives have never been better; our bond is strong, we still have a strong connection with the gang, and we live comfortably in our own little house. The same applies to the rest of the gang, everyone is in their own home settled down, and married to their girlfriends. Soda makes good money with his position at the DX in a job he loves and I make good money at a law firm in a job I love.

One day I stirred in my sleep with a burning feeling in the back of my throat, I pushed my husband off of me as I dashed to the bathroom. I leaned over the toilet as I threw up, " Babe?" Soda called " You okay honey?", He rubbed my back and put my hair up in a ponytail. "Yeah, I'm fine" I replied "go back to sleep "No" he responded stubbornly, " I ain't leaving you"
" You need your sleep, you have work in the morning"
" so do you, I still ain't leaving your side"
I gave in and finished shortly after, We headed back to bed and he hugged me in his arms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I fluttered my eyes open to find Soda looking down at me concerned. " Morning babe" I yawned, " Hey baby" he responded, " how you feelin' honey?"
"Not that great" I pouted
" Honey, why don't we stay home from work today? I already scheduled an appointment with the doctor this afternoon"
" Soda that's so sweet of you but don't you have to attend that interview with that new employee today?"
" you're right, but I don't mind missing it"
" Soda, I'll be fine; besides if I do feel worse I'll call you"
He thought it over, I love Soda but he can make decisions without thinking over the alternatives.
" Fine, but promise you'll call"
" I promise"
He kissed me and got ready for the day, he kissed me once more before grabbing his cap and bag before heading out. I noticed something was off, " SHOES!"' I yelled after him as he exited " oops! Almost forgot, thanks, babe!" He thanked me as he headed out once more.

A few hours after my husband left for work, I got up and called Jennifer; it would be nice to talk to one of my girl friends and I know today is her day off. I dialed her number and she picked up within seconds,
" Hey, Sarah, What's up?"
" Hey Jen, nothin much; I just have been feelin off recently"
" Oh? What happened?"
" I've been feeling awful the past few days and last night I had to throw up, and I've felt immensely insecure, I lost my appetite, and incredible mood swings; my period hasn't come and I just feel awful"
"Oh, I think I know what it is"
" What?"
" Is there a possibility you might be pregnant?"
" What?! I mean maybe, now that I think about it, yes. I'll go take a test and call you back 'kay?"
" 'Kay, see ya"
I picked up a ten-dollar bill and shoved it in my jean pocket and put on my sneakers as I headed out the door to the nearest pharmacy, I gotta know. " Hello, how may I help you?" The cashier greeted me as I walked up to the counter with the tests I picked up in hand; " Hey, how much for this including taxes?" I asked. " Ten dollars" she responded;" great, Do you take cash?" "Yes we do", I handed her the bill and took the test. I left the store and headed home anxiously. I gotta know.

I headed to the bathroom and took two tests, And after two hours; The results came back.
Positive
Positive
Oh my god! I'm pregnant! I'm gonna be a mother! I can't believe it! I have to tell Soda,
I rushed out the door once more with cash to the bakery and came back with half a dozen of a collection of Soda and my favorite doughnuts. Once I got home, I grabbed a post-it and wrote on it  eat up daddy, mommy can't be the only one with a belly - baby Curtis
My heart grew at the thought that soon Soda and I will hold the child growing inside me, our child, I tapped the note to the inside of the doughnut box. An hour later, my husband came back.

" Hey babe, how you feeling?" He asked as soon as he laid eyes on me
" Hi honey, I'm fine; I got you doughnuts"
" aww thank you, sweetheart"
I led him to the kitchen counter once we kissed and showed him the box; once he opened it, his jaw dropped " No way! Nu-uh! You're kidding! No way! Babe are you serious! I can't wait!"
" I'm serious!"
" I love you so so much Sara"
" I love you to Soda"
then he dropped to his knees and whispered in my flat belly " I love you already sweetie, can't wait to meet you", We spent the rest of the afternoon crying tears of joy and love in each other's arms talking about our little bundle of joy that we now know is on its way.
