Meet Cute 》Natasha Trace

Pregnancy

First child
Full Discovery
To say the first child of Natasha and Emmett was a surprise was an understatement.

Despite what Genevieve kept asking, they weren't planning on having a child until after they were married.

Jokes on them because a few months after they finally got engaged, Natasha was feeling sick.

She had a feeling, things were adding up but she had to check to be certain.

Stopping on the way home, she got a few tests, some chocolate and a box of tissues. She had a feeling, regardless of the results, she was going to need them.

Walking through the front door, Natasha was greeted by Genevieve, freshly eight years old, running to hug her.

"Hi my sweet girl. How was school?"

Gena, now in second grade, had her ups and downs in school. Some days, it was great, other days it was horrible. Pretty typical, if you ask Nat, but everyone had to experience it to understand.

"Well I think I did well on my math test but we had a surprise vocab quiz in English and I don't think I did good on that. Oh! Ella told me this strangest thing at lunch..."

And she just kept going. One thing that never changed was Gen's ability to ramble about nothing and everything at the same time.

Finally taking a breath, Natasha was able to convince the girl to go back into the living room, knowing she still had some homework to finish up.

Pouting, Genevieve goes despite not wanting to do her science homework. Natasha chuckles as she makes her way into the kitchen where Emmett was preparing dinner.

"Hey, how was work?" He called to her, cutting up some veggies.

She shrugged. "It was work. Nothing special."

Putting stuff away, she checks to make sure Genevieve is sufficiently distracted. "Em, I need to take some tests."

Not understanding what she means, he can only question, "what tests? Like for the jets?"

Natasha can't really answer so she opens the bag to show him the tests. His wide eyes are the only initial response.

"You're..."

She shrugged. "I don't know. I've been feeling off and this is the only thing I can think of."

They decided to wait until Gena was in bed, even if they were both incredibly distracted with the possible pregnancy.

But it was finally time to take the tests. Natasha had to force Emmett out of their bathroom, exclaiming, "I don't need you to watch me pee on a stick!"

But as soon as she took about five tests, she called him in and they set a timer.

"What are we going to do if it's positive? I know we want this but we had planned for after thr wedding, not before!" Natasha had officially started to panic.

And considering Emmett was not around when Genevieve's biological mother was pregnant, he was also panicing. But he had to keep it cool for Nat.

"Then we figure it out. It's not like we don't want this kid. And Gena's been begging for a sibling. It's just a bit off the ideal schedule, but that's pretty on brand for us."

She laughed slightly at that, because it was very true. Before she could respond, however, the timer went off.

She leaned over to look at the tests.

"We're having a baby!"

Cravings
Luckily, Natasha didn't have bad cravings.

She had sent Emmett out more times than she can count, but it's mostly been for pretzels or ice cream.
