Almost to 30 chapters! Yaaaay.


It had been a week since I had found out I was pregnant, but no one else knew besides Lily. Carson must of known something was up because it seemed as if I had been avoiding him. He would text me if I wanted to get dinner and I would come up with some excuse on why I couldn't go. I was really just avoiding face to face conversations with him. I felt kind of bad because I would let him come over, and spend the night which of course resulted in sex but avoid actually talking to him about anything in fear that I would let it slip that I was pregnant. It wasn't hard, especially since he was so busy with his hotel in the final stages of its construction he had no extra time to spend with me.

Finally he got sick of it.

I was lounging on my bed, using my MacBook to look at nursery pictures on Pinterest when the door suddenly opened and I looked up to find Carson. I quickly slammed my computer shut, which must have looked suspicious because Carson's face suddenly morphed into that of confusion and anger.

"Why did you close your computer so fast? Are you hiding something?" He began to approach the bed. I sat up from the position I was in as he got closer. "You've been acting weird lately."

"It's nothing.." I trailed off not knowing what else to say. I couldn't find my words.

Carson scowled at me, shooting me a glare I hadn't seen in a long time. "Then what was on your computer? If you're not hiding something you won't mind me looking, right?"

He moved closer to the bed, reaching out for the laptop, his eyes on my face the entire time. I must of looked like a deer caught in headlights. I quickly grabbed the MacBook, moving it out of his reach, causing him to growl angrily. Carson had never had the best temper and now I was testing it.

"What the fuck, Lucy?"

"It's nothing, stop being so nosy."

"My girlfriend acts strange and avoids me, only calls me over to fuck, and then when I come to surprise her on my first day off in forever she is acting sneaky.... But wants to tell me to stop being nosy?" He hissed at me.

"Yep." I gulped, feeling the wrath oozing off of Carson. Guilt filled my body and I avoided eye contact.

"Is there someone else?" He asked suddenly sounding the most vulnerable I had ever experienced with him. My eyes widened in shock at his question before I furiously shook my head no.

"No, never." I spoke lowly.

"Then what's wrong? Do you not want to be with me anymore?" My heart was breaking hearing what he was asking me.

"Carson, no. Not at all!" He sat down onto my bed, at the edge as far away from me as possible, facing in the opposite direction. His anger had turned into hurt. It was then at that moment that I realized I needed to come clean with Carson, especially since he was going to find out eventually. "I... I uh.."

"What?" He demanded, his cold demeanor now present.

"I have to tell you something."

"Well, what the fuck is it?"

I gulped, my hands began to get sweaty as I grew nervous. I stuttered, not able to get the words out. "I'm uh... Im..."

"Just fucking say it, Lucy!" He growled, causing my stomach to flip. "Just say it and get it over with so I can get the fuck out of here."

"Sorry, I'm just-"

"You know what, fuck it. I'm done." He stood up abruptly, and began to move towards the door. I was up and after him just as quick, grabbing his muscular arm to pull him back towards me. He pulled his arm out of my grasp, not wanting to be touched by me.

"Carson, wait."

"Either tell me what you have to say, or quit wasting my time."

"I'm pregnant." He froze, his face unreadable as he took in what I had just said to him. He turned around, heading back towards my bed and sitting down on it, resting his elbows on his knees as he stared at the floor. I sat down next to him on the bed, waiting for him to say something.

"How long have you known?"

"A week." I confessed, feeling guilty for not telling him as soon as I had found out

"That was why you were avoiding me."

"I was scared to tell you."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I wasn't sure how you would react... I'm still not sure how you are reacting right now." It was true, he had his poker face on and was not speaking showing a hint of emotion anymore.

"How far along?"

"Eight weeks."

"Fuck, I knew not wearing a condom would come back to haunt me." I rolled my eyes at this statement. "Are you keeping it?"

"Yes."

"Okay." He stood up abruptly. "I have to go."

He must have noticed my face drop, because he pulled me into his arms, enveloping me with his scent. I wrapped my arms around him to return the hug. Despite the affection my heart felt heavy in my chest.

I pulled back to look up at him. "Where are you going?"

"I need to make some arrangements."

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my brows.

"You'll see." Carson leaned in, kissing my forehead before heading out the door, leaving me absolutely confused.
