For the Better - A Pedri Story

14. The Truth

Y/n's POV:

"Pregnant."

I stare in shock at this small stick in my hand, still in full disbelief at what I am reading. A word, which for the most part, is just a word, but if you are me at this moment, sitting on the toilet seat for the past 20 minutes, this word is more than just a word. It means everything. It will change everything as I know it.

After Pedri and I made up a week ago, and since he has the Friday and Saturday morning free  - I know a miracle, right? - we spontaneously decided to be adventurous and booked a two-day holiday out in Sitges, a coastal town just a few hours south of Barcelona by car. It was meant to be a relaxing and peaceful trip, but now my head - and world - is spinning instead.

"Mi amor, estás bien?" Shit. Pedri must have just woken up. He was knocked-out cold when I left our bed this morning to take the pregnancy test that I sneakily bought from the convenience store when we were out walking around last night.

"Si, Pepi. Estoy bien..." I hesitantly answer him, not wanting him to come barging in as I try and try to clear my head, but in reality I am far from okay. Actually, I am freaking out. I have definitely dreamed of starting a family with a great guy like Pedri, but not this soon. Besides, I am not even sure if he wants those things with me, especially with all that has happened the past couple of weeks. 

Taking one more deep breath, I start to head for the bathroom door to face Pepi, with no plan in mind of how in the hell I am going to break this news to him. 

"What took you so long..." I was instantly engulfed between his arms as I exit the bathroom, I look at his face with eyes full of admiration. How can this perfect human being still have so much love and patience for me after I asked him for a break and caused him sleepless nights? I start to day dream of what our life could be with a mini Pepi in tow, I know he will be such a sweet father and partner in life and I just hope that we both are ready for this sooner than later.

I struggle with myself for a little as I think hard on what to say next, but after thinking through it, I decided that now is not the best time to bring it up, "Nothing.. I was just having a girly moment." Pedri looks down at my eyes as if trying to question my response, but also did not say anything more and accepted my vagueness as he tries to be more awake this early in the morning.

"When is Gavi coming? I thought he'd be here by now?" I ask as I try to divert our conversation somewhere else.

We extended our invitation to both Gavi and Lea - fully knowing that those two are currently being awkward with each other - while Lea messaged right away saying that she won't be able to join as she has a "commitment" already, Gavi texted Pedri last night that he's down to drive down this nice Saturday morning for a quick getaway before they both have to head in for a late training with the team in the afternoon.

"Yeah, he just messaged me that he's about 15 minutes away, shall we head down to the restaurant and wait for him there? I called to make a reservation, I heard they serve the best brunch there!" He says as he shoves his phone back into his pocket, smiling sweetly at me with those juicy lips, and man why is he shirtless right now?

I start to imagine unimaginable things in my head, and I must have started blushing as Pedri catches my attention again with a big smirk playing in the corner of his lips, as if reading the dirty thoughts that's playing in my head.

"I mean, we do have time, mi amor... I can't promise we won't be late for brunch with Gavi though.." Not waiting another second, I throw my whole body to his. Gavi can wait.

Gavi's POV:

A little break from the city will be good for me. I have been wanting to see Sitges for some time now too, my family and I have been here once when I was a small kid trying to make it at La Masia. I remember that day, Lea came with my family, having gotten permission from her parents to join all the way from Sevilla. We were - are - inseparable since we were young kids.
