PREGNANT

Is she reading that right? Her legs shake and she doesn't trust them so still staring at the pregnancy test she sinks onto the edge of the bathtub. She is pregnant. Her smile stretches as it starts to sink in then she covers her mouth, shocked. "I am pregnant...I am pregnant," she whispers, it sounds crazy as her voice echoes softly around the bathroom. "Did I do it right?" she questions as doubt sets in so she takes another pregnancy test, pushing out just enough pee to get it wet then sits and stares at it.

PREGNANT

The letters are big and bold. There is no mistake. She is pregnant. "How accurate is this thing?" she wonders picking up the box and studying the instructions. It says it's pretty accurate, and she has done two. They can't both be wrong. "I am just going to do another one...just in case," she whispers, opening a third test. But, she is all peed out so she grabs the big bottle of water Austin always keeps on his bedside table and downs it then sits on the edge of the bed staring at the two positive pregnancy tests while she waits for the water to take effect. It doesn't take long because her body is a mess of nerves and soon she finds herself rushing to the toilet. She had gotten herself a value pack of ten pregnancy tests when she popped into town to get groceries the other day. She had just tried the first test out of curiosity after climbing out of the shower this bright beautiful morning and was not expecting a positive result. Now, she is not sure if the two tests she has done are dupes, so with her anxiety through the roof, she takes the remaining eight and pees on all of them. Just to make sure.

"Well, I suppose that's settles it. I am pregnant," she hums, looking at all ten tests, then lifting her head and looking at herself in the mirror. "I am pregnant..." she hums as she stares at herself while it sinks once again. "I am pregnant...I am pregnant..." she says, watching the way her mouth forms the words, then looks down at the pregnancy tests again. Yup, they all still say she is pregnant. "Austin...I need to tell Austin!" she says, giggling when the excitement finally hits her. So she rushes out of the bathroom and gets dressed, falling twice in her rush to get her pants on, she won't be telling Austin about that - he will lecture her. If he becomes an overprotective ass because she is pregnant, she will kick Louis out of the trailer and move in with Becky.

"What am I wearing?!" she groans when she looks at herself in the mirror. "I can't tell him this amazing news while I look like I was dragged through a bush backwards! Put in some effort Dillon!" she chastises herself while she changes into a pretty dress and brushes her hair. She nearly pokes her eye out with the brush in her excitement; she won't tell Austin about that either. She rushes back into the bathroom and picks up her makeup bag then drops it on the counter. "What am I doing?! I don't have time for this shit?! What's wrong with me?!" she says grabbing all ten pregnancy tests then rushing out the bathroom, grabbing a pair of shoes and then half dying on the stairs when she tries to go down them while putting her shoes on. Austin would pop a vein at how chaotic she is being right now but she can't help it. She is excited! She is pregnant!

She rushes into the kitchen and grabs her phone then runs to the front door, stopping at her dad's hat. "I am pregnant, Dad, tell Mom!" she shouts with a laugh, then yanks open the door and grinds to a halt as her eyes almost pop out of her head and her mouth falls open.

"Oh..." she squeaks then wipes the drool that has formed in the corner of her mouth. Austin is standing in the front yard in a very well-fitted blue suit.

"Is there a reason you have burst out that front door like a hurricane, darlin'?"

"Oh...um..." she hums hiding the ten pregnancy tests behind her back. "Is there a reason you are in a blue suit...and...have you cut your hair?" she breaths out. "You like?" Austin asks, taking his Stetson off, then putting his arms out and turning around to give her a full view. She appreciates that he is glorious. "I do. I do very much," she breaths out, hoping he will do another turn - his ass in that suit has been in her dreams. She opens her mouth to say something but, he holds up his finger in a pause. "Lou!" he calls to the side then Louis appears in a matching blue suit, strutting like a peacock as he walks up to Austin. "Oh...there are two of you...what's... what's happening?" she whispers.
