It had been 2 months since Ransom installed the stripper pole in the basement and we were having so much fun with it being installed. We spent time down there at least once a day. I was in the bedroom getting dressed one morning when Ransom came walking in as I threw a pair of jeans from the closet.
"Kitten?" Ransom asked.
"Nothing fits! Nothing fucking fits!" I said and grabbed a pair of leggings and his white cable knit sweater that was a little worn out but I loved it.
"Clover calm down. Maybe your bloated or something..." Ransom said and I glared as him as I walked out of the closet and he smiled seeing what I was wearing. "Although you could stay that way if this is what you are going to wear."
I walked over to the dresser and grabbed a hair tie throwing my hair in a high ponytail.
"Ransom, nothing fits...we have dinner at Harlan's with both our parents in 3 days. If I can't fit into anything what am I supposed to do? I can't wear this." I said and laid on the bed as tears filled my eyes. Kitten came walking in and jumped on the bed laying against my stomach. Ransom crouched down to be level with me and went to pet her, she hissed at him.
"What the fuck?! I thought we were friends?!" Ransom asked and I giggled.
"Loyal to her mama." I said and Ransom smiled. He leaned in and kissed me.
"I have to go talk to Harlan today. Something about Blood Like Wine and firing Walt." Ransom said.
"Really?!" I asked way too excited and he laughed.
"Yeah so I'm going to go. You going to be okay?" Ransom asked and I nodded.
"Yeah perfectly fine. I may just nap. I'm tired." I said and he nodded. He leaned in and gave me a small kiss until Kitten hissed and swatted him away.
"What did you do to her?" I asked and Ransom shrugged.
"She obviously wants cuddle time with only you today." Ransom said and I nodded. No sooner did I hear the front door shut than I was asleep.
***RANSOM POV***
I was on my way to the Blood Like Wine offices when I got to thinking about Clover and how she was acting. The other night we had Chinese food, her favorite and the smell made her nauseous, same with coffee, her go to morning drink. None of her clothes were fitting, she was tired and very moody. I knew what was going on and I had to call Harlan.
"Ransom, you on your way?" Harlan asked once his secretary transferred me.
"Uh, no I have to make a stop and go back home. Something came up."
"Everything okay?" Harlan asked and I sighed.
"I think so. Not sure though. Just want to check on something. Can we having this meeting tomorrow?" I asked.
"Of course. You sure everything is okay?" Harlan said and I just smiled to myself.
"I think so." I said and hung up.
I rushed to the nearest drugstore and went to the aisle I needed. There were so many different brands so I just grabbed one of each and ran to the cash register. The teenager running the cash register looked at me like I was psychotic. I just needed him to hurry the hell up. Once I paid and they were in the bag I rushed out and rushed home.
I got home and went to the bedroom seeing her and Kitten sleeping in bed and I sighed, I hated waking her. I placed a hand on her cheek and she fluttered her eyes open.
"Ransom, I'm sleeping." Clover groaned.
"I know love but I need you to do something and humor me." I said and placed the bag on the bed. She looked in the bag and groaned.
"Ransom..." Clover groaned.
"Please Kitten, humor me. Chinese and coffee smell make you sick, nothing is fitting, you're moody, tired. The damn cat won't let me near you or your stomach, she's protecting you." I said, she sighed and took the bag getting up.
"Fine, I'll humor you." Clover said walking into the bathroom. She closed the door, I just paced outside the bathroom door remembering the last time I was in this position.
***FLASHBACK***
I was pacing outside the bathroom door upstairs at Harlans waiting for Clover to let me in. I got impatient and knocked on the door. I heard her sigh.
"Kitten, please let me in." I said and she finally let me in and she was sitting on the edge of the tub. I shut the door and locked it.
"You take it?" I asked and she pointed to the sink counter. I looked down and sighed.
"What do we do if its positive?" Clover asked and I sighed. I crouched down to her level.
"Then we have a baby. Do you want to have a baby with me?" I asked and Clover placed a hand on my cheek and nodded.
"More than anything." Clover said leaning in and giving me a small kiss. "Also if that test turns out to be positive no proposal just because I'm pregnant." Clover added and I nodded.
"No way. That's tacky." I said and we both gave a small laugh. I heard the timer go off on her phone. Clover looked at me and sighed.
"I can't look." Clover said and I sighed.
"You want me to look?" I asked and she shook her head.
"We should look together. Bring it over but don't look." Clover said. I reached over, grabbing the test and handing it to her.
"On three." Clover said.
"one...two...three..." We both counted together. She flipped over and the positive was very prominent on the test. My eyes met hers filling with tears.
"We're having a baby..." Clover said in shock. I smiled and leaning in passionately kissing her.
"We're having a baby!" I exclaimed once we broke apart. She clapped her hand over my mouth and giggled.
"The family is downstairs." Clover said and I shook my head.
"I don't care, I want to tell them." I said and went to leave but she grabbed my arm.
"We have to wait until it's confirmed Ransom. Usually you wait three months to say anything." Clover said.
"Fine, this will be our own little secret." I said and Clover nodded. I leaned down and kissed her stomach.
"This is going to be amazing Clover." I said and she nodded giving me another kiss.
***END FLASHBACK***
Only it wasn't amazing, it was tragic. It was the end of us, the end of my life. The life I never thought I would get back but I did, I had Clover back and now here we were again. The scariest place to be. I was still pacing when the door opened and Clover was holding the pregnancy test. I just looked at her. She had tears welling in her eyes.
"I'm pregnant."
