Chapter 18
Marcus had been quiet for a while.
"Shit!" He cursed.
"Hmm?" I mumbled back.
"I need to use the bathroom." He said as he got up.
He had no boxers on.
"Um Marcus, get some sweats or boxers on if you're gonna use the main bathroom." I hollered after him.
"Shit yeah, I should." He walked back over to me and grabbed his sweats.
He walked out and about ten minutes passed when I grabbed a pair of his sweats and my sports bra off the floor.
I knocked lightly about three times.
"Marcus," I said softly.
"Yeah? You can come in." He said in a strained voice. I walked up to him and leaned against the sink.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't use a -a uh-"
"I'm your fiancé Marcus, it'll happen sooner or later." I tried.
"I just don't know if you want to walk down the aisle with a tight dress around your tiny belly." He trailed off.
"That's okay. Well go to the store in the morning for a test. It'll be okay Marcus. As long as you don't walk out-"
"Lex, don't ever worry about that. You should know better than to expect that from me." Marcus interrupted.
"Come here." He held his arms out to bring me into a hug.
I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him. For me being as short as I am, my arms were around his torso area.
"Let's go back to bed." I grabbed Marcus' hand and led him back to the bedroom.
I plopped down face first. Marcus grabbed a new blanket and covered me. It wasn't long before I passed out.

"Marcus turn off the light!" I mumbled into the pillow.
"Um, did you want me to go get that test for you?" Marcus asked.
Shit, I forgot. I should get up.
"Yeah, help me out of bed." I rolled over and started giggling.
"Come on Lex." Marcus smiled.
I got up and walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, fixed my bun, changed into my Nike pro leggings, and threw on a dark grey hoodie. I walked to my closet and grabbed my white converse. A light grey beanie caught my eye, so I grabbed it. It was probably Marcus's because I don't remember getting it when he took me shopping.
"Marcus!" I called out as I took the stairs two at a time. Once I reached the bottom I swung myself around and headed towards the kitchen, except when I spun around I knocked into Marcus.
I smiled up at him. It wasn't a real smile though; it was more of a Nevis 'don't kill me' smile.
"You ready to go?" I asked him.
"Yeah. Let's go."
He grabbed the keys off the table that was by the door. We walked out and got into his car. Well, at least one of them.
The drive was kind of short, beings that this was a small town.
"What ever the result is, whether it be positive or negative, I'll stick by your side no matter what."
"Promise?" I asked him.
"I promise." He confirmed.
And with that, I walked into the store and grabbed a box of pregnancy tests. I walked to the front and pulled out a twenty from my pocket. I hadn't realized that the cashier was a guy. Just then, Marcus decides to walk up to me. How awkward could things get?
"Uhm, here's your change. H-Have a good day." He said to Marcus and I.
"So, uh how does this work exactly?" Marcus asked me. I looked at him unsure of what to say. Honestly, I didn't know but because I've never been in this situation. He still didn't know that he was my first. I just didn't know how to tell him without him freaking out on me.
"You just chill, maybe invite Nathan and Reylor over."
"Okay, but are you planning on telling Nathan and Reylor?"
"I don't know. We havent even found out if I am or not. If I am, you can tell Nathan and I can tell Reylor."
He smiled to himself. "What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just how happy Nathan will be that he's finally going to be an uncle. And also how happy my parents will be when they become grandparents."
"We don't even know yet." I laughed.
•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●
I heard the chime of the doorbell.
Shit! That must be Nathan and Reylor.
I took the stairs two at a time and opened the door.
"Hey guys, come on in." I invited Nathan and Reylor inside.
I led them towards the kitchen.
"Hey Nathan, Marcus is in the living room if you want to join him."
Nathan walked into the living room leaving me and Reylor to go into the kitchen.
I pulled two waters out of the fridge. I held one out to Reylor and she took it.
"So?" I asked her. I had a smirk on my face. I really couldn't help myself from smiling at all.
"Something's up. What is it?" She asked.
"Oh nothing," I glanced away and pulled out an unused test.
"Holy shit! Are you serious?!" She exclaimed.
"No! I don't know how to do this shit! Do you know how?"
"Yeah, here," she came around and took it. She explained everything to me and the time finally came to go and used the bathroom.
When I was done, I placed the six tests I took on the bathroom counter. I washed my hands and dried them with the hand towel that was next to the sink.
I opened the door. "Rey!" I called down the hallway.
"Yeah!" She hollered back.
"Can you come here please."
She walked down the hallway with a beer in her hand. She stumbled and began to giggle.
"I'm fine, I swear. This is my first one." Was all she said. She looked at me and took a drink out of her bottle.
"What we're the results?"
"How long do you have to wait?"
"I'd wait about five to ten just to be sure no part of the sign is missing or, uh, you know what I mean."
I nodded my head. "I think it's been about six or seven minutes." I told her. I walked over to the counter and peaked at the tests.
I put my hands on my head and let out a big sigh. "Shit!" I cursed.
"Marcus!" I screamed.
I was pregnant.
