Just A Kid

21. The Truth

Damian POV

After lifting Jules I had put her over my shoulder and carried her all the way back to her room. I wanted her to hear me out, to listen to what I had to say and I wasn't about to give her the chance to run.

I could imagine how the conversation sounded but she had got it so wrong and I needed her to know that. Whether she believed me was a different matter.

The whole way to our room she had demanded I put her down, reminded me that she had feet and could walk and had punctuated every sentence woth a slap to my ass........maybe I should have but her over my should the other way.....................on second thought this way is better.

"Are you going to put me down now?" She asks as I kick the door of our room closed

"That depends are you going to listen to what I have to say?" I ask "coz I'm more than happy to talk to you like this"

"Alright.....fine I'll listen" she says "but I really do need you to put me down" she says softly quietly I almost didn't hear it.

I lower her and sit her ok the bed before kneeling down in front of her and making sure she is looking at me. Her eyes tell me all I need to know, she's hurting but more than that something is troubling her.

"I know how that conversation must have sounded and I know what you must be thinking but I need you to know......to understand that you're wrong" I say "there is no one else in this world for me, only you. Why would I do that to you after everything we went through to be together...........I love you and only you I just hope you will believe me"

"Really? If it's not that then what else could you possibly not want me to know about?" I ask

"I can't tell you that" I say "the whole point is it's supposed to be a suprise"

"A suprise?" She asks looking confused "what do you mean?"

"I've been making plans for your birthday and it was important to me that you didn't find out until the day" I explain "I also asked some people for help to make sure it's a perfect day for you and swore them to secrecy"

"Oh.......so who knows?" She asks with a smirk

"Oh no........uh uh nice try nugget but no shot" I chuckle "I tell you that and you will go to each of them in turn trying to find out"

"Spoil sport" she pouts "anyway I'm sorry for thinking the worst I should have known better"

"So you believe me?" I ask and she nods

"I trust you.....so if thats what you say it is then I believe you. Though I have to admit I'm very intrigued and dying to know what you are up to"

"Wait for your birthday" I chuckle

"But thats three months away" she pouts

"It will fly by" I say taking her hands in mine  "I'm just going to use the bathroom the  we can talk about what else is bothering you" I  say and she looks at me

"Sometimes I wish you didn't know me so well" she chuckles.

I give her a quick kiss on the forehead before heading to the bathroom hoping she will still be there when I go back out.

As I pee my eyes wonder lazily around the room until something on the sink catches my attention. Finishing up I walk over and immediately realise what it is as I look down at it.

"¿Está embarazada?" I say to myself before heading back into the room.

Julietta POV

It had only been mere seconds after he'd closed the door that I realised I had left the test on the sink. I could only hope he wouldn't notice it as that is not how I want him to find out.

When emerges from the bathroom he looks at me with his brow furrowed and then lifts his hand and there it is....the test.

"Nugget.....who's test is this?" He asks

"I hadn't wanted you to find out that way but......it's my test" I say bracing myself for his reaction

"No way" he says as his eyes widen and a beautiful smile creeps across his face "for real? I'm going to be a papi?"

"Yes you are" I say smiling nervously as he kneels infront of my and to my suprise places a soft kiss on my stomach.

"That's why you needed me to put you down" he says "and why you came looking for me" he asks and I nod

"I had tried to work out how to tell you but in my head nothing sounded right" I say "and I had no idea how you would feel about it so I was also a little scared"

"So tell me and I'll tell you how it sounds" he smiles

"I'm pregnant cookie" I smile "you're going to be a papi"

"That sounds wonderful" he smiles kissing me softly "wait......did Phil already know?"

"No he didn't" I say "when he thought I was i shrugged it off but I realised my period hadn't come this month and then I couldn't remember when I last had one so I thought I should take a test"

"So no one knows just us?" He asks and I nod "what do you say we keep it like that for a little bit? Let us just enjoy this amazing news before we share it with everyone"

"If that's what you want" I say not sure how to feel

"Hey look at me" he says lifting my chin "I couldn't be happier about starting a family with you, I just think we should have some time to get used to the idea, have a private celebration before a huge one with everyone else"

"Alright" I smile "are you sure you want this?" I ask

"Never been more sure of anything in my life" he smiles kissing the backs on my hands "you?"

"I was sure the second I saw it said pregnant" I smile "I knew I wanted this baby because it's a part of you and I love you. I want forever with you cookie and everything that comes with it"

"I want that too" he beams "and I promise that's what we'll have......I love you nugget, you and little nuggie"
