<>colettes pov<>

i went home for a week before flying back to montreal to see cole & his parents.

really to tell them the news.

be scheduled our flights so we land nearly at the same time.

i found him & his parents before we walked out to his car.

paul & kelly let me sit up front with cole.

as he drove i held his right hand, running my thumb over his hand.

he picked up dinner on the way home, fancy take out.

we made small talk the whole way home but the tension is thick and i have a feeling paul & kelly know why they are here.

we got to his apartment and started getting dinner out.

"colette, do you watch coles games?"

"yes! my family & i have been watching them and my brothers get so into them." i laughed.

"thats fun." kelly said.

"its wild at times because theyre still learning the game. like one night they made me call cole after a game to explain an icing."

"i think the funniest call we had was over goal tender interference." cole laughed.

"they get so heated about everything, its so funny."

"i can tell." paul nodded.

the break in the conversation made the room quiet as dinner is wrapping up.

he gave me a look and i nodded.

"um, mom, dad?" cole started.

they both stopped and looked at cole.

he grabbed my hand and held it.

"colette flew in last weekend, by complete surprise honestly and told me some news." he started, hes obviously nervous.

kellys eyes are watery, she knows.

"colettes pregnant...were expecting."

now im crying.

no words where said except for ugly glances so i stood up, "excuse me."

kellys fork clattered to her plate.

"letty, you okay?" cole asked.

"yeah, just need a second."

i went to coles bathroom to throw up everything i just ate.

"oh babe." cole said.

"can you get my toothbrush? in my bag." i asked before puking again.

he opened a drawer and took a new out then got a hand towel wet to wipe my face with.

"im sorry." he whispered.

"yeah me too."

"you want to shower & get in bed? its been along day for you." he said.

"i want to call my mom."

"ill step out." he said. "get me if you need me. i love you."

i brushed my teeth and sat on the bathroom floor to call my mom.

"hey cc, hows it going? oh youre crying baby." she said, seeing my face.

"mom, im scared." i cried.

"whats happening?"

"his parents hate me." i said.

"im sure they dont-"

i cut her off, "they didn't say anything. im a fucking fool for getting pregnant mom. if this is how his parents react, i cant imagine the rest of his family."
