It's so easy // slash (completed)

twenty five

two days later

"hello?" i questioned, holding the phone up to my ear as i had an apple in my mouth. "hi is this laila briggs?" the woman questioned on the phone. it took a few moments to realize she was my doctor.

"yeah thats me" i spoke, taking the half eaten apple out of my mouth. "so i just wanted to inform you about something we found in your tests" she spoke.

okay, no lie, i was slightly worried. "oh what is it? is everything okay?" i questioned, concern taking over me. "well congrats, you're pregnant" she announced.

"im....pregnant?" i confirmed, my jaw dropped to the floor. "yes" she nodded. "oh well thats a surprise" i laughed, purely out of shock. i hadnt felt any of the signs.

"i know it must be...i'd just recommend booking an ultrasound soon" the dr explained. "yeah, i'll do that...thanks" i nodded before hanging up and setting the phone down.

"what the actual fuck" i whispered, gripping my forehead. guess this was round two, huh? hopefully the same thing doesnt happen again, or i might actually lose it.

because of the miscarriage fear, i wasnt even sure if i wanted to keep it. i dont want to go through that again, cause it was painful, both physically, mentally, and emotionally.

i stood there for a few moments, holding onto the counter as i felt slightly uneasy. with a few deep breaths, i was able to head to the sink to get a glass of water.

slash was in the living room, playing guitar, making my stomach go wild. i needed to tell him sooner than later, and see if keeping it was the right choice.

"slash?" i spoke, peering into the room. "whats up, baby?" he asked, taking his pick away from the strings. "uh we need to talk..." i trailed off.

"come sit...whats wrong?" he asked, putting his les paul down. "well uh the doctor called and" i stopped, i was too afraid to tell him the news.

"and what?" he eagerly asked. "she said im pregnant" i spoke, tears clouding my vision right away. the tears dropped, so i buried my head into his chest.

"why you crying? thats amazing" he spoke, rubbing my back. "because what if it happens again" i mumbled, not daring to lift my head. "what happens again?" he asked, lifting my head up.

"losing the baby" i whispered, tears still pouring down my face. "just cause it happened once doesnt mean its gonna happen again" he explained. "yeah but it might" i sighed.

"listen, everythings gonna be fine, i promise" he spoke, using his thumbs to wipe my tears away. "how are you so sure?" i mumbled, looking into his eyes. there was something different about his eyes.

its like the look he was giving me was genuine. i saw both a mixture of happiness and hurt in his eyes. "because i know...and we're gonna be amazing parents" he shrugged.

the mention of us being parents did make me pretty happy inside. but its like i couldnt escape the worry...i needed everything to go good this time.

"i guess you're right...i need to stop worrying" i nodded, wiping my face. "see? its all gonna be okay" he nodded, never breaking eye contact with me.
