True Love | Book 2

Chapter 19

(Jennifer)

I climb out of the hot tub and walk to the house. I've really been craving Pasta all day. "Josh!" I look around for him. "What?" I hear from behind me. I turn towards him and see that he's smiling. "Do you wanna go get us dinner?" I ask wondering what he's smiling about, it seems suspicious. "Sure...what do you want?" He's still smiling. I try to remind myself that he could just be really happy to see me and totally not up to something at all. "Fettuccine Alfredo, from the Italian place we usually go to." I run my fingers through my hair. "Okay, I'll be back soon. Do you want something to drink?" I look in the fridge to see if we have something I want. "Dr.pepper." I follow him into the living room and he puts his shoes on.

I wander upstairs and find the bags from Victoria secret sitting in the place I left them, seemingly untouched. I gather the Lacey dark green fabric in my hands and examine it. I take it with me to the bathroom and put it on. It's a little tight around my chest, but I think it's supposed to be. I close my eyes and step in front of the mirror. I look at myself and run my fingers through my long blonde curls. My hair reaches just below my breasts. Josh has never given me any reason to feel self-conscious but I still can't shake the feeling that theres something wrong with me. I wrap my arms around my self and close my eyes. I need to relax. Josh is gonna be home soon and I can't ruin our night over anxiety. I sit down on the floor and take deep breaths. Eventually I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I run into the bedroom and get into bed, covering myself up. "You're back." I smile as Josh walks through the door. I feel so much better with him here. He's always so calm. "I thought you might want dinner in bed." He hands me the takeout bag and sits down on the bed with me. I hand him his food and take mine and he sets both of our drinks on the bedside table. I finish first, and I close up my box and throw it on the floor along with my fork. "That was so good Josh! Thank you." I lean over and kiss him on the cheek. "You want your drink?" He offers taking a drink of his. "Yeah." He hands it to me and I take a sip. All my anxiety seems to have gone away. I finish my drink and set the empty cup on the floor. "They gave us the chocolate mint things too. You want one?" He puts his mint in his mouth and holds out mine. I nod and take it from him. He puts his empty box and cup on the bedside table and turns towards me. "So is there any particular reason you're hogging the blanket?" He asks looking at the huge blanket bunched up around me.

I smirk at him and pull the blanket down a little revealing my lacy top. By the look on his face I can tell he didn't look in the bag. "Are you gonna take the rest of the blanket off?" I pull the blanket off and watch him. He quickly kisses me surprising me. He doesn't say anything he just keeps kissing me. "Do you like it?" I ask after he gets up and takes his pants off. "Do I like it?" He repeats pulling his shirt off. "I love it. I love you. You....you look beautiful. You are beautiful. I love it." He climbs back onto the bed and runs his finger tips from my collarbone all the way down to my thighs making my skin turn pink where he touches me. He slides his fingers along my waist and back down to my thighs making me blush. "Why are you doing this?" His fingers start to move up towards my chest but I stop them almost halfway there by putting my hand over his. "I thought you liked it." I move my hand away. "Also I like this." He gently runs his fingers across my stomach again making my skin turn a shade of light pink.

I lay with my head on his chest looking at the ceiling. "That was amazing." I smile to myself. "You know, it's been a while since you've checked. Do you still have pregnancy tests left?" He asks seeming to be in deep thought. "No, I'll have to go get some." I can't believe he's so clear headed right now, I feel like I'm in a trance even after the ten minutes we've spent laying here. "You must've been thinking about that for a while." I say, mostly to myself. "Yeah, sort of." I get up and find his shirt, my underwear and his boxers and get dressed. "I'm gonna go to the store. Thanks for the monumental fuck." I walk downstairs and get my keys and shoes.

I park in the driveway and get out, feeling the damp night air on my body. I walk into the house and upstairs to the bathroom. I open the three boxes I got and pull one test out of each. I try each of them and set them all on the counter while I wait for the results, I wash my hands and put the boxes in the cabinet. I read them shocked. They all say positive. I take a deep breath and bring them to Josh in our bedroom who now has cleaned up the bedroom, made the bed, and put his boxers back on. I can't help but smile as I hand them to him. "You're pregnant?" He looks just as surprised as I was. I nod and he gets up and hugs me. I feel my nervousness be completely replaced with happiness.
