Good Intentions - Noah Sebastian

Keeping Promises

Immediately I ran back to the stall I just came from, this time my breakfast was on its way up at a rapid pace. "Violet!" I heard Folio jumping off the counter and following me. "Are you okay?" no, no I was not.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine" I gasped as I raised my head from the toilet in front of me. "Just dandy" sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"You look green" Folio mused as I turned and stood up.

"I feel green" I confirmed. "What the fuck am I supposed to do?" I asked.

"Telling Noah should probably be the first thing" Folio said as he leaned back against the stall wall.

"I don't know how to do that" my voice died off as I spoke. Fear was taking over now. How am I supposed to do this? This wasn't supposed to happen. I looked up to Folio helplessly, searching his face for an answer. Folio stood there looking back at me with raised eyebrows and crossed arms.

"I don't know what to tell you." He said raising his shoulders before he let them drop.

"I need to talk to Stella" I said weakly as I moved to grab my phone off the counter.

I managed to leave the bathroom and face Noah without spilling the massive amount of beans I was holding onto. Currently the tour had stopped in Philadelphia leaving our next stop to be the Big Apple, my home. And where there's a Big Apple, there's a Stella; and my OBGYN. Stella was currently on a mission to get me an appointment for two days from now when I'd be back in the city for the only day I'd be available.

"I'm getting really worried about you" Noah confessed from where he lay under me, I sat over him, straddling his hips, where we lay in his bunk on the moving bus.

"I'm fine, I promise" the words felt sour in my mouth even though they were true. I was fine, more than fine, there wasn't anything physically wrong. The only thing to truly worry about, being the fact that the baby inside me was hanging out with my IUD.

"Are you sure" he asked again, his hands brushing my sides as he spoke. He had this way of unconsciously touching me, it's something that  has always calmed me during difficult moments like this.

"Well," I started, not sure of what to say. "I need to tell you something," I paused, I could see the relaxation leave his body as his shoulders tensed. "I found out this morning that," I hated that I kept pausing; it's just what Folio did to me the night before. "I'm pregnant" my voice died off weakly in my pitiful attempt at being brave.

"Are you serious?" Noah asked, I watched as his body relaxed back into the mattress. I only nodded. "We're gonna be parents?" he asked, he didn't sound the most sure of his words but he didn't seem upset, something that lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.

"Yes" I nodded. "We're gonna be parents" I continued to nod as smiles spread across our faces.

Noah pulled me down into him for a firm hug. As he held me to his chest he whispered over and over affirmative words of love and admiration that were almost difficult for me to believe. But it was Noah, he had never lied to me. I would always believe him.

I pulled back from Noah's embrace and sat up as I was before. Noah's hand instinctively went to my stomach, where he rubbed gently. He was looking at me in amazement.

"I don't know why I was so worried before" I hadn't realized I spoke my thought out loud till Noah's eyes met mine.

"Why would you be worried?" He asked genuine concern in his voice.

"I never thought of having a baby. Ever" I explained letting my hands explore Noah's chest as I leaned forward.

"Well, it's happening, baby" Noah teased, as he grabbed my side eliciting a squeal from me as he did it.
