I opened the door, test in hand.
“It’s positive…” I whispered.
“You’re pregnant.” CC said.
“We have to make a doctor’s appointment.” I told him. I walked back into the bathroom and threw the test in the trash and washed my hands.
I looked in the mirror. I turned to the side and rubbed my tummy. There is a little baby in there. I smiled. It wasn’t the best timing for a baby but I had always wanted to be a mother.
“That’s why I have been feeling sick like that.” I looked at CC. He was staring at my tummy.
I waved for him to come over to me.
“So, there is going to be a baby growing inside you.” He sated it, not even a question.
“I’m going to get really fat.” I told him. “And crazy I bet.”
“You are already crazy.” He kissed my cheek.
“So, you are fine with me being pregnant? You don’t think I should get rid of it?”
“It’s really up to you, it’s your body, I wouldn’t mind having-“
“Little drummers running around.” I smiled. I almost cried.
“Yeah.” He smiled.
“It’s crazy that just before the tour you said you wanted to marry me and have little drummers running around one day. I guess it’s time.” I smiled.
“I guess it is.”
I hugged him tight. “Okay, but we can’t tell anyone until the fourth month.”
“Why?”
“Bad luck. Most babies that are miscarriages happen in the first four months and so we can’t tell anyone.”
“How do we know when you are four months?”
“The doctor should be able to tell me how far along I am.”
“Oh, okay, How far along do you think you are?”
“I don’t know, At least a few weeks because the test worked”
“Then it happened while we were still on tour.”
“I guess so.” I walked over and sat on the couch. CC followed.
I grabbed my phone and called my doctor. I made an appointment.
“Do you think they will be a girl or a boy?”
“A girl.” I smiled. “What do you think?”
“A girl. Maybe we can start getting numbers even; right now there are 5 guys and 3 girls.”
“Heck yeah we need a baby on our side.” I smiled.
“I’m going to be a dad.”
“You are reacting WAY better than I would have ever thought you would.”
“Why would I react badly? I am going to have a little me running around! And not only that but you are the mom. I am happy.” He kissed my cheek.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” He held me close and we just sat there for a while.
My phone started ringing.
Hello?
Hey Athena, how you feeling Hun?
