Sheo's Story

Chapter Seventy

Theo's POV:

I wake up to the sound of Shai being sick in the bathroom, I rush in to check if she's okay and she tries to tell me to leave, but I'm not going anywhere. Through sickness and in health, right? I place a hand on her back and rub it gently, and the other hand holding hers. She flushes the toilet and puts the lid down to sit on it. I tuck a piece of hair behind her ear, and crouch in front of her. "Have you been feeling ill?" I ask wondering if it was something she ate or if she'd caught a stomach bug from somewhere. She just closes her eyes and takes my hands. "Theo, I think we need to talk." I feel my heart completely fall and think of all of the possible things she could want to talk about right in the moment. She turns around and rummages through her bag of bathroom stuff, and pulls out pregnancy test. Everything fits together and I pull her up into a tight hug. "I'm going to be a dad?" I say through holding back tears, noticing that Shai is already crying in to me. The only problem is that I can't work out if she's crying through happiness or sadness, I know we wasn't planning on having children for a long while yet. "Are you mad?" She whispered. "No, I'm so excited, are you mad?" She hugs me tighter and laughs a little bit, lets go and brushes her teeth. "We're going to be parents, I love you so much" she said, before kissing me. I put my hands on her belly and kiss it. This month has been the best month of my life. 

A couple of hours have passes since Shai told me the great news, and we can't wait to get home now and tell the rest of our family and friends but we know it's the best thing to wait until we're definitely certain that nothing can go wrong. Although I've had enough time to let it sink in and have some worries about it all. There is no way we're going to be able to film, or anything, but we're going to be a family and that is the most important thing to me in the world. I will put everything I have into keeping my wife and my child safe and happy. Even if it means altering my job. 

Shai's POV:

I'm so glad Theo finally knows, I wasn't sure how or when to tell him because I was so nervous he was going to react badly. I know this is all so soon and everything about us has happened so quickly but with him it just feels right to be going this fast, like I can't wait to take new steps and explore different things with him because I know when we're together it's all going to be alright. Today is our last day of the honeymoon and I'm already missing the peace and tranquility of it our here. It's not long until we're supposed to go back to work but I'll have to have a talk with the director about that. 

I hear Theo doing something in the kitchen and I go out to find a meal placed on a beautifully set table and Theo sitting at it. "To our little hero." He said with an adorable smile raising his glass of wine and pointing at my glass of water. I sit at the table and 'clink' glasses with him, it's a good job I hardly drunk alcohol anyway so these 9 months won't be hard at all for me. I take my first bite and complement Theo on the cooking. He makes me laugh with a cocky reply and takes a bite himself. When I first met him he couldn't cook at all and I love that I've been apart of the journey, I love not so much that I've had to taste the foods along way. This is one of the first times I've actually enjoyed it. It feels like all of our problems have totally gone now, all expect that mystery text.
