Chapter 3

HANNAH

I closed the door as Zach ran to the store. I breathed slowly, relieved that he has no clue what's going on.

My plan could actually work. Without him knowing what's up with me, I can now execute a plan that will...make him go KABOOCH!

Kabooch is a new word I made, meaning super duper shocked.

Like it?

Yeah I know. I'm a real word whiz.

I poured myself a glass of water and gulped it down as soon as the water filled my mouth. I poured myself another round and placed my hand on my belly, smiling.

"I'm really really excited for you."I whispered, looking down on my still flat stomach.

"Just...try not making me look that fat."I laughed.

The telephone rang. I huffed and ran to answer it. "Hello?"I blankly asked. "Hannah! My girl! How are you...and Zach?"Dad boomed.

I chuckled. "We're fine, dad."I said. My voice was a bit...different though. The colds didn't help.

"Hannah, are you sick?"Dad asked, worry drowning his voice. "Um...it's normal at this time."I said. "Hannah, how is getting sick normal? Go to the hospital!"Dad said. "Dad, believe me, Zach also said that. I'm fine."

"No! Have it checked, sweetheart! It might grow even worse if you don't--"

"I'm pregnant, dad."I blurted out. There was silence for a few seconds. "Did you tell Zach already?"He asked. "No...I don't know what he'll say and how he's going to react and, maybe he's just still not planning on kids yet and--"

"Hannah! You worry too much! How are you supposed to know how he's gonna react and what he's gonna say if you won't tell him?"Dad said.

Good point.

"I'm gonna tell him tonight, actually..."

That was a lie.

"I plan to tell him over dinner and you know, like in the movies..."

That was a lie too.

"I just want everything to be perfect when I tell him."I added.

That's...partly true. But still a lie.

"Well, I'm happy for you two. Anyway, get ypurself checked okay?"Dad said before hanging up.

I rolled my eyes as I heard footsteps coming in the house. I turned. Zach. He placed the grocery bags on the counter and wrapped his arms around me to kiss me. His hands went down to my waist as he pulled away to look at my eyes.

"So...what happened?"He asked. I might actually tell him now...should I or should I not?

Oh fine I'll just tell him.

"Zach, you're...gonna be...a...dad."

His eyes widened and his jaw dropped open.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!"

***

YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!

They're gonna have kids! Isn't it exciting? No...?

Don't destroy my mood.

Again, I had fun writing this. Took so long but...hope it's worth it.
