Hannibal: Your Mine

Chapter 23: Surprise

Ivy's POV
In all honesty, I didn't want to go home,I wanted to work. But I was forced to go home, so better make use of my time. I begin by raiding the fridge. I took anything chocolate and put half in my mouth and carried the rest to the study. I climbed up to the ladder to go and hide away in the walls of books. Now I just eat and wait. A few hours passed by before Hannibal finally comes in.
"Honey, where have you been! I'm starving!" I yelled at him from afar.

"Ivy, I have something for you! Come down"
I hurried down the ladder to find Hannibal hold a brown paper bag.
"What's in it?"

"It's a pregnancy test"
What?!? He thinks I'm pregnant!!!! How dare he! He thinks I'm fat?!?!
"Hannibal!!!! I am not pregnant!!"

"Well, I'm not saying you're fat, I just think you have all the symptoms that suggest pregnancy. Just take one.....It won't hurt just in case"

"Fine, but if I'm not, grab me a whiskey"
I took the bag from him and went to the bathroom. I can't really be pregnant, can I ? I just sat on the toilet, staring at it. I didn't know it was going to take so long! Don't leave me hanging! I began to think......What if I am? I mean, I'm not ready for a child........Sure Hannibal's older than me and probably ready to care for one, but I'm only in my 20's......I can't be ready...Can I ? I jumped up off the toilet to look at the results........

Hannibal's POV

Time seemed to stop......All I could do was wait. I couldn't play God at this moment, oh no, I had to sit it out. Could I really be a father? And if so, would that mean I would have to tell Ivy about.....The basement? How could I tell her that what she has been eating is her own friends and Co-Workers! She would leave me.......And I would have to lose her. Why couldn't I have just killed her then and there?! I would have to deal with this or even have to know her............Wait, A world without Ivy? Wouldn't that be hell? Maybe she is my Juliet and I, her Romeo?
My thoughts were stopped and time begun again as she walked threw the door. For once, I couldn't read anything on her face. She walked over to me with a grin on her face..........
