Ivy felt like she was going to throw up again at what she saw. She instantly turned and sobbed into Conrads chest.
He wore a shocked look on his face but still comforted his crying girlfriend.
"Okay. We can do this." Conrad tried to reassure Ivy and himself. She slightly lifted her head and looked at him with tear filled eyes.
"You really want to do this?"
"With you, I'd do anything."

A few hours later, Ivy was laid in bed as she watched Conrad get ready for his meeting with Cleveland.
"You know, I can just text him and cancel. I should be here with you."
"No. You need to see him. Especially after the bookstore. I'm just gonna try to sleep a little. I don't think I can do anything else right now. I'm just so shocked."
"If you insist. But just know I love you, and if you need absolutely anything call me and I will come back." He walked over and pecked her on the lips.
"I'll be fine." She smiled. "now go, you're gonna be late."
She reached out and slapped his ass before he left. She laughed at his expression as he walked out the door.
Her face fell and she sighed loudly. She stared up at the ceiling picturing images in the details. She was thinking about the baby, how they would tell people, if they would be supportive.
Her mind was reeling, and she couldn't get it to stop.

Ivy was once again face to face with the toilet. She was hunkered over holding her hair back. She was choking back sobs as she felt the nausea come back.
She cried as she leaned back against the wall. She couldn't stop thinking about what was going to happen.
Her thoughts kept going and going until she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
To her surprise, Steven walked in. He smiled shyly and sat down next to her.
"Hey pretty lady. I heard you throwing up so I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I'm fine. Just a little sick is all." She laughed through the tears. She wiped her eyes slightly as she looked at Steven.
"Is there anything I can get you? I think we have some Gravol in the cupboard."
"No." She laughed. "I'm okay."
She smiled at his awkwardness. She leaned her head against his shoulder. He sighed and relaxed a little.
"You know, you still look super pretty even when you're throwing up. I can't believe it."
"Stop." She blushed.
"It's true. I wish I looked like that when I was sick."
She laughed and moved closer to his side. After a minute of silence, Ivy felt Stevens head on top of hers. She smiled and stayed quiet.
They sat there for a while just enjoying each others presence.
~
A few hours later Ivy was downstairs in the kitchen. She was trying to eat some fruit, hoping it would stay down.
Conrad walked into the room and saw her. He smiled and pranced over to her.
"Hello gorgeous."
"Hi. You're in a good mood."
"Yeah, I talked to Cleveland. He's not upset anymore."
"That's great!"
"Yeah. How are you feeling?" He walked behind her and placed a hand on her stomach.
"I'm okay, for now. You know I had some bonding time with Steven today. It was pretty great."
"Really? He wasn't just flirting with you the whole time?" He joked.
"No." She smiled. "He was really sweet, and comforting."
"I'm glad. He really likes having you around. Won't shut up about it sometimes."
She smiled and leaned her head back to see his face. He leaned down and kissed her slowly.
She smiled into the kiss. They separated as Laurel walked into the room.
"Oops. Sorry to interrupt." She smiled cheekily.
Ivy laughed at her words. Conrad silently walked over and sat next to Ivy.
"So. Ivy, how are you liking Cousins beach?" Laurel asked after a beat of silence.
"Oh it's lovely. Everyone is so kind, and it is just beautiful."
"I'm glad you like it. We love having you here. Now, you kids have fun, Beck and I are going out to sit on the beach." She smiled as she walked away from the couple.
Conrad pecked Ivy on the cheek as soon as Laurel left the room.
"I love you." He whispered at her.
"I love you too." She giggled.
~
That night Ivy was getting her clothes ready for a shower. Conrad was sat at the desk on his phone.
Ivy walked over behind him and bent down to his ear.
"Do you want to shower with me?" She whispered into his ear.
He perked up immediately and stood up. He went and picked Ivy up off the floor. She laughed as he carried her all the way to the bathroom.
He set her down and started slowly unbuttoning her top. They were staring at each other with love as they stripped each other of their clothes.
Once they were fully naked they stepped into the shower and turned on the water. Ivy basked in the hot water and closed her eyes.
Conrad gripped her waist and pulled her closer. He kissed her lips and smiled at her.
He turned her around and grabbed the shampoo bottle. He squirted some into his hand and started massaging Ivy's scalp.
She moaned at the feeling and leaned back in contentment. He massaged the product fully into her hair, and washed it out after.
He repeated the process with her conditioner as well. He then got out the body wash and started slowly and softly washing her body.
She grabbed the bottle after him and started massaging his body.
They both washed each other and shared an intimate moment together.
