"You... you're pregnant!?" I exclaim jumping back up to my feet.
"Yes... I took this pregnancy test when we got back to the house. That's why I've been sick the pas few days." She says when I notice she's avoiding eye contact with me.
I take a deep breath and take a seat next to her on the couch. "Lizzie..." I sigh trying to think of what to say, but my minds going a thousand miles an hour. Then I hear her begin quietly sobbing in turn breaking my heart. "No hey don't cry babe!" I wrap my arms around her tightly prompting her to bury her face in my chest and cling to my shirt. "I love you Lizzie... I'm going to be with you every step of the way. You'll never be alone, I'll make sure of it"
"Really?" She sniffles and looks up at me.
I pull back and place my hands on her cheeks wiping the tears away. I smile then give her a loving kiss. "Really. I'm happy. I'm going to be a dad! And you're going to be the best mom ever!" I chuckle kissing her again.
She pulls back giving me a surprised and confused look. "You're happy about it? You're not upset or anything?"
"No of course not! I'm sorry if my silence made it seem like that, I just was surprised. I mean I do want kids and... it's a bit earlier than I was thinking but that's even better." I smile rubbing my thumbs against her cheeks.
"You're not... freaking out? At all?" She furrows her brows at me.
"Sure I'm a little freaked out. But I'm mostly happy. I love you and I'm going to love our kid so much." I lean forward kissing her softly. "Are you ok? How are you feeling about it?"
"I was afraid you'd freak out and leave.." She looks away taking a deep breath.
"I'm not going anywhere. I promise" Her eyes gloss over and she wraps her arms around my neck bringing me into a hug.
"Good.. I don't want you going anywhere.." She sniffles hugging onto me tightly. I silently hold her in my arms, bringing her closer to me as I start to think. "Can we go to bed?"
"Of course. We have the day off tomorrow so we can talk more about it tomorrow" I smile kissing her again before we get up from the couch. She nods quietly and grabs my hand. We go upstairs and change before going to bed.
The next morning I wake up alone I'm bed, I sit up and smell something cooking downstairs. I get up and walk downstairs where Lizzie is cooking breakfast. As I walk into the kitchen she grabs a cup of tea from the counter and goes to take a drink. "Hey wait no!" I grab her wrist as she looks at me confused.
"Good morning to you too babe. Now why are you stopping me from drinking tea?" She raises an eyebrow at me as I move her hand away.
"You can't have caffeine when you're pregnant!" I take the cup from her hand as she just stares at me for a moment. Then she just starts laughing.
"Honey, I can have caffeine" She continues laughing while trying to take the cup back. "Babe give me the cup"
"No I heard pregnant women can't have caffeine." I shake my head blocking her hands from grabbing the cup.
"You're cute my love, but I can have caffeine just not a lot of it. One cup is not going to hurt me" She scrunches her nose putting her hands on my shoulders.
"Really?" I check making her chuckle.
"Yes really. Now can I have my cup? I made some for you too. The waters still in the kettle" I squint my eyes at her while slowly giving her the cup back. "Thank you babe" She gets on her top toes and kisses me with a little chuckle after. "Breakfast is just about ready too"
"I'm trusting that you're telling the truth about the caffeine" I walk over to the kettle and grab a cup from the cabinet. "Do you need any help?" I query pouring the water into the cup.
"No It's ok I got it" She smiles finishing up breakfast while I make myself some tea. She then hands me a plate, once we grab us some of the food we sit at the dining room table. After we eat I notice she's been rather quiet the whole time we ate and now that we are cleaning up the kitchen. So once we finish I grab her hand and lead her into the living room. "What are you doing?"
"Here let's sit and talk" I smile softly as we get to the couch.
"Alright.." Lizzie says giving me a confused expression.
We sit down, still holding hands. "How're you feeling today? Are you doing ok?" I check rubbing my thumb against the back of her hand.
"I'm feeling ok. I.. just have a couple concerns about being pregnant..." She takes a deep breath, starting to get nervous.
"What is it?" I query as she just looks at me with a nervous look on her face. "Hey don't worry, I won't be mad or upset about whatever it is"
She takes one more deep breath before telling me her concerns, "Well one is... your ex. I know you said you were worried she'd do something to me. I'm just concerned that if she finds out she might try something." She forces an awkward chuckle out.
I sit quietly for a few seconds. "I was thinking about that last night. She doesn't know where you live, and I'll make sure she doesn't figure it out. Hopefully by the time you give birth she'll have given up and left us be." I take another deep breath, "Don't worry I'm not going to freak out too much about that. I'll find a way to make her stop" I smile trying to reassure her and give her a kiss. "What's the other concern?"
"Its not much of a concern. I was just thinking... I'll have to slow down on filming any new projects after the baby is born." I sit there quietly watching as she starts fidgeting with her thumbs.
I think for a few moments before squeezing her hands softly. "That's not true. I can be a stay at home dad"
"What!?" She over at me confused.
"Well I'm not going to have you cut back on your career. You love acting, meanwhile I just started back up again. So I'd rather take more time off to take care of the baby" I shrug, to which she just shakes her head.
"You're sweet but no I couldn't ask you to do that. I have to take time off anyways"
"I know that, but I'd rather me cut back then have you do it." I smile and she still shakes her head at me. "We could argue back and forth all day darling. We have time to figure it out, why don't we come back to this topic another day?"
She sighs then smiles softly, "Fine we will come back to this another day"
"Good. Now why don't we have a date night tonight? We can relax all day then go on a date" I suggest making her face light up.
"I'd love that" She grabs my face and kisses me lovingly.
"It's a date then" I chuckle wrapping my arms around her and kissing her again.
"I also told Scarlett to not tell anyone yet. I want to wait a bit before telling people" she smiles wrapping her arms around my neck.
"I'm fine with that, we'll give it a little bit before we tell people" I agree kissing her again. "Now let's have a nice relaxing day" She nods and cuddles up into me making me smile. So we turn on the tv and cuddle on the couch together.
