Room Sixteen

28/A perfect happy ending.

Iris's pov

I didn't want to make it a big deal before knowing if I was actually pregnant or not, I didn't want to get excited so soon.
It could just be the flu after all.

I think I am pregnant because I've been having the weirdest cravings and I've been more than in love and crazily clingy to Soren which I do a lot but not like this.
I want to be under his skin literally.

He's excited, like too excited if you ask me and as he's talking about it I start crying because I'm starting to get hormonal.

It hurts a bit which is why I'm taking a trip to the doctor soon and then when I know exactly what's going on with me I will tell my family and get excited myself.
This is a scary experience knowing what happened the last time I got pregnant.

Last time I didn't know and acted stupidly but this time I know and I know to take care of myself until this child gets to come out and see the world.

I get off the bathroom floor and flush the toilet after being here for over fifteen minutes I think I've fed the toilet all that I've eaten today.
Hope that it won't happen again I brush my teeth and drag my feet back to the living room.

I turned on the TV and put on some series while waiting for Soren to come back from taking Dahlia to her daycare.

My stomach hurts like I'm about to get my period which scares me, to say the least, I don't want to lose another one.

I get up groaning and lazily get my ass to the kitchen to grab a snack, snacks have been a popular demand from this baby since two weeks ago which made me think it was only my period cravings but no, my bruised cervix had other plans.

"Oh god," I sigh and slam my body against the couch with my family-size bag of chips on my lap and a lump forming on my chest.

I feel like crying again. I want Soren.

Tears roll down my face for the second time today and in a minute I start bawling my eyes out while I watch the random show on the TV and eat my emotions away.

Mm, these chips are delicious.

The door finally closed shut and Soren dropped his keys on the table by the door before he started making his way to the living room but I was faster than him. I ran and jumped onto his arms, my tears soaking into his shirt and my heart finally calming down.
He's here.

"Shhh, you're alright my pretty girl, you're alright." He whispered softly which calmed me down in an instant, he's my safe space, he's my savior, I don't know what I would do without him.
"What happened? Did you get hurt?" He asks and I shake my head.

He picked me up from the ground and took us both back to the couch, sitting down and keeping me on his lap. Warn and familiar, comfortable, and loved.

"I missed you, and my stomach hurts." I start complaining and he listens while caressing my head and telling me it's going to be alright.
