Always you (A Catching Feelings sequel)

Chapter 20*

"Are you sure?" Steve asked, eyes widened in shock.  "To be honest, I don't know. Nat suggested I should take a pregnancy test." Tiana said, voice trembling. "How do you feel?" Steve asked as he took her hands in his   "I'm scared, Steve." She said before bursting into tears. Steve pulled her into his arms, as she wept. "It's going to be okay. We'll get through it together." He said gently and he patted her back.

After 10 minutes, Tiana pulled away, eye red from crying. "Steve, I don't think I'm ready to be a mom. I mean, I barely have time to spend time with you. How am I supposed to take care of a baby." She hiccupped. "We'll figure it out together. I'll be right by your side. Right now, you don't know if you're pregnant. Once we do the test then we can figure out how to handle the situation. " Steve said calmly, as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. She smiled at him. "Thanks, Steve. I love you!" She said, leaning forward to kiss his lips. " I love you too." He said, as he pulled away, tucking her hair  behind her ear.

"I don't want to find out right away. I think it's all too much at the moment. How about we go for the trip I planned for us? We can go to the drive-in and then stay at the lodge. I want to make up for the time we lost on our anniversary. I just want it to be the two of us. I don't want to think about being pregnant right now." Tiana said, leaning against his shoulder. "If that's what you really want, then let's do it! Let's go for a mini vacation." Steve grinned, kissing her forehead.

Steve was driving, and Tiana sat in the passenger seat, fast sleep. Steve turned to look at her, he smiled. He was happy that they were spending some together. He was also worried about her. She seemed very stressed at the idea of being pregnant. He knew how much teaching meant to her, so much so that she ended up missing their anniversary. If she became pregnant, it would be difficult to be working at the pace she was currently at. He was also excited by the idea that she might be pregnant. He had always wanted a family of his own. He hoped that Tiana would feel the same way.

He tucked a stray hair behind her ear. He knew she would make a great mom. He could see it in the way she teaches. She has a special connection to kids that no one else has. She cares way more than any other teacher he has know, that's what makes her an excellent teacher and therefore would make an amazing mom. If only she could see that.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the drive in. Tiana was still asleep when they arrived. Steve gently woke her up. "Tiana, we arrived." He whispered, trying not to startle her. She opened her eyes slowly, feeling groggy. "We're here already?" Tiana asked, sleepily, trying to stifle a yawn. "Already? It was an hour and half drive. It's only because you slept the whole way is why it was so quick." He teased. "That's true. Sorry, I couldn't keep you company." She apologised, as she yawned loudly. "You're lucky I love you." He laughed.

"Let's see, what movies they're showing tonight!" Tiana exclaimed happily. "Ooh, they're showing A Cinderella Story!" Tiana squealed with excitement. "Wow, you really like that movie, huh?" Steve smiled at her. "You have no idea how much I love that movie. It was the movie that made me believe in true love and also the reason why I had a crush on Chad Michael Murray when I was young." She sighed, dreamily. "How do you feel about Chad Michael Murray now?" Steve asked, voice filed with jealousy. "Really, that's the part that stuck out to you." She questioned, side-eyeing him. "What can I say. I'm a jealous man. He chuckled. She laughed too.

"Honestly, I don't find him as attractive now as I did when I was younger. Now, you're the only one for me. No one else can compare to you, not even Chad Michael Murray." She said, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "Good." He grinned, turning so he could kiss her. "That's all you wanted to hear, am I right?" She laughed. "That's right." He smirked, kissing her again.
"Let's park closer to the front, so we can have the view." Tian instructed. "Yes, mam." Steve replied, as he drove the car closer to the screen.
