6 months later.

I woke up today with the worst stomach pains ever. I don't feel to good, haven't been for awhile. I rush to the bathroom, after feeling nauseous.

"Princess, are you okay?" A sleepy Charles says behind me. He holds my hair back and rubs my back.
"Sorry for waking you. I feel terrible" I respond. I clean myself up and stand up.
"Maybe you should go to the doctor, did you eat anything bad?" He yawns. We walk over to sit on the bed.
"Charles, you don't think-" I say and pause as I try and think back to the last few weeks.
"Think what?" He looks confused.
"Oh shit shit shit" I panic now.

a few weeks ago:

I had a photo shoot to go to today. I was so excited but I just hated that it was a far drive away. It was a shoot at a beach for a bikini line. My first one in awhile. Charles agreed to drive up with me, so I wouldn't be alone.

We had just arrived and checked into the hotel room for the day. My manager told me they were setting up out on the beach, so I changed into my first outfit. Immediately as I stepped out Charles looked me up and down and smiles.

"How am I supposed to stay relaxed with you looking this amazing" he smirks and stands up.
"Baby, I need to focus" I whine. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me.
"Fine fine. I'll have you to myself after" he winks. I smile and fix my hair. I walk out to the beach with Charles behind me as I meet with the photographer.

The entire time I see Charles smiling and cheering me on. I'm so happy that he's more comfortable with this now, and I appreciate all his support.

We finish the shoot, and say goodbye to everyone. Charles and I head back to the room.

I set my phone down and sit next to Charles.
"So what was it you wanted earlier?" I smirk. Without saying anything he pulls me on top of him and starts to take off his shirt. I trace my fingers along his body and lean into kiss him. It's been awhile, so we both aren't thinking clearly. Just that we need each other, and now.

Present:
As Charles and I continue to recap the moments from that day, we realize that we didn't use protection. But there were times we hadn't before, and nothing happened.

I get nervous and don't know how to feel or reach so I begin to tear up.
"Hey hey, princess. It's going to be okay. I promise. No matter what, I'll be here. We're going to be fine" charles wipes my tears and rubs my back. I nod and try and calm myself down.

"Let me run to the pharmacy down the street and we'll do a test, before we assume anything" he says. I realize he's right and nod. He quickly puts some clothes on and grabs his phone before walking out the door.

I patiently wait on the bed and I take deep breaths. I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a mother or not. I love Charles with all my life but this isn't how I planned it to be. I obviously would love to have been married first, but we're still so young. I don't know.

Charles gets here very quick and runs into the room with a bag.
"I bought 3 just to be sure. The nurse said to do them all" he says handing me the bag. I nod, and begin to open each one.

I walk to the bathroom and take each test, setting them on the counter. Charles stands next to me, as we wait. It says to wait 10 minutes so we sit there patiently. The entire time he holds my hand and rubs it.

The alarm rings, and we both quickly take a look.

"Positive"

I freeze, then start to cry. I'm not sure if it's tears of joy or not. But Charles begins to shed a few tears as well. I pull him into a hug, and he holds me in his arms.

"I can't believe it princess. We're going to have a baby" he says.
"I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted Charles. I-"
"Hey, princess. I'm so happy. It's okay. I love you, and that's what matters to me. I'm not leaving, and I wouldn't choose anyone else to have a beautiful baby with. I love you" he continues to rub my back, and after his comment I feel relief. He's right, and I know it wasn't planned but I can't help but start to feel happy.

"I love you too Charles. And I'm so glad it's with you. I know this isn't what we expected but I know we'll figure it out together" I reply. I lean in and give him a kiss, and smile. I lay in his arms as we take in this moment. One that we'll surely never forget.

It's now around 5pm. We made an appointment with the doctor, and they confirmed I was pregnant. At first I was afraid and nervous, but Charles has been so happy and positive about the situation and I felt much better about it. I'm excited for this new journey we're about to go on, and I wouldn't choose it to be with anyone else.
