Apocalypse

Chapter 19

We found a smashed up chemist this morning and i picked up a couple of supplies i thought might help Dan when he gets fully infected, probably wont help when 'the time comes' but might as well try huh.
I also picked up something I kind of wish i didnt, well ive been missing my 'monthlys' if thats what you wanna call it, and I, you know, wanted to check.

So I picked up a test, basically it came out positive, and I dont know what to feel. I haven't told Dan yet because I'm scared I wont know what to say and I'll panic.

"Hey, are you ok?" Asks dan softly pulling me from my thoughts,

"Wha- yeah. Well uh, ugh," I hand him the test and put my head in my hands almost ashamed, I sigh with a hint of relief as I see a smile rising, lighting up his face. Dan puts his hand over his mouth grinning and tears start running down his face, tears of happiness i hope.

"I can't- oh my god, I'm so- happy, suprised? I dont know how- how to explain it, I just," he hugs me and kissed my forehead "I love you so much."

He sets me off crying too I whisper between sobs "I love you too." and he pulls me into a hug again and I bury my head in his shoulder "so much and i don't wanna loose you."

"We won't loose hope." Dan says after he's stopped crying "I'll get through it."

That night i give Dan some anti-infection medication I found and he falls asleep pretty much straight away because of the side effects, the infection takes around 4 months to properly spread but with medication he should last about 8-9months which is obviously ideal.

I am looking forward to having a silly little family with Dan if he can get through his infection.

I sleep well that night thinking of names and stuff, it seems my future just got brighter...
