All day I've been thinking about what I'm gonna tell Mikey.
What if he gets mad? What if he leaves? Oh my god. Shit. I'm completely stressed out. I can feel my face breaking out already. I decided I need to try to chill out.
I'll take a bath, and figure it out. I go into the bathroom and turn on the faucet. I go to grab the bath salts out of the cabinet and the bathroom is already starting to fill with steam. I pour in some of the salts, watching the water become cloudy. I slowly remove my clothes and look at myself in the mirror. I stare at my lower stomach.
There's a person starting to grow in there. My person. Our person.
I stick my foot in the water.
"Oh fuck, too hot." I turn the handle a little to the right to let some cold water mix with the hot. After lighting a few candles I turn off the light and turn on some quiet music. 'Hey Everybody' starts playing.
"God damnit." I switch my Pandora to my City of Colour playlist, and an Iron and Wine song starts playing.
"Much better, relaxing." I smile to myself. I slide in the water and instantly feel the tingling of the salts under my back. I close my eyes and just listened to the slow music.
MICHAELS POV:
I pull into the driveway.
"Finally home." I sigh. I open the car door, grabbing my leather jacket and locked the door. I walk up to the front door and notice all the lights are off. I check the time on my phone.
"They can't be asleep already, it's only nine-thirty." I unlock the door and it's quiet, aside from muffled music coming from the bathroom. I kick off my boots and lay my jacket and keys down on the kitchen counter and go into the bedroom to change.
I take off my tight Green Day t-shirt and skinny jeans and slide on some baggy sweatpants. Knocking on the bathroom door I can hear water sloshing.
"Kage? Are you bathing? Can I come in?"
"Yeah, I'm just in the bath, come on in." I open the door to find them laying in the bath with the lights off. Their favorite lavender candle lit, listening to the quiet music. They're stressed. Why?
"How was your day? Are you alright?" I ask, trying not to sound too concerned.
"Yeah, I'm just relaxing." Kage looks up at me with a smile. That's not a genuine smile, something's wrong.
"Okay, I was just wondering because you don't take a bath unless you're stressed. Do you wanna talk about something?"
"Uh, well there is kind of something I wanted to talk to you about. Just let me get out and dry off, okay?" Kage pulled out the stop to the drain and gets out of the bath, grabbing a towel.
"Okay babe, I'm gonna go grab some food."
"There's some left-over pizza in the fridge." Kage smiles.
"Shit yeah. I love you."
"I love you too, Mikey."
I'm sitting on the couch eating a slice of pizza and scrolling through instagram when Kage walks in. They're wearing my Led Zeppelin tee and shorts.
"You're cute." I look up and smile.
"I'm just wearing pajamas, babe."
"You look good in my clothes. Anyway, what did ya wanna talk about?" I ask, taking another bite of pizza.
"Oh uh.. right." Kage sits down next to me.
I have a feeling this isn't gonna be Disneyland good news.
KAGE'S POV:
Shit shit shit I have to tell him. I look down.
"Well, um.. you know how we had sex and you came inside me? And how we had that conversation about me getting pregnant and I said "don't worry I probably wont"?"
"Yeeahh..?"
"Well.. uh.. I'm pregnant.." I had to force the words out of my mouth. I can't look at him. My face is blazing red. After about thirty seconds I look up at him. He's completely frozen. Eyes wide, staring at the floor.
"Michael..?" I put my hand on his thigh.
Shit.. what have I done? I broke my boyfriend.
