Meet your Match

Untitled Part 77

"What! No!" I said sitting up fast "Why you would say that, no not after-"I immediately thought back to the last time I heard that word. It was when I had lost a life before I even knew about it and failed my husband and family. Then there was the longest time in my life that I still tried to not think about.

"Bri, let's be real you could be couldn't you?" Leah asked sitting next to me and putting her arm around me.

"Lee-Lee, I can't not after-"

"It's ok Brianna, that isn't going to happen and I already know what you are thinking. Brayden is dead, Paul killed him and he is never going to hurt you again."

"Leah?" I questioned very nervously.

"Could you be, is there even a slight chance?" I nodded leaning my head on her.

"Here, I have a couple of these lying around, go take one, there are two in a box." Emily said handing me the bag.

Leah gripped my hand tightly as I stood taking a look at her. I walked into the bathroom opening the bag and taking the tests out. I was honestly so nervous I was shaking. I didn't even think about this ever happening again. Would Paul be happy? What about how much we have been fighting lately? Was he going to be mad? I sighed opening the test and doing what I had to do. After I was done and washed my hands I walked out sitting on the couch. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and Emily went to answer. A few seconds later she walked back in the room with Sue as Leah nudged me.

"Go check." She said quietly.

"Can you come with me?" She stood up grabbing my hand gently as I walked with her to the bathroom.

"You want me to check it or do you?" She questioned looking at me

"You." Leah then picked up the test and I could hear her heartbeat accelerate as she turned towards me and handed it out. I already knew. I took it from her looking down at the test in my hand.

Positive

I took a deep breath as I felt my legs give out. Leah caught me before I hit the ground and sat with me. I don't know why but I started crying, I think because I was scared. I had so many emotions and thoughts running through my head I was panicking. I was nervous, would I be a good mom, would I have another miscarriage, would Paul be mad, how do I tell him how do I tell anybody, what do I do?

"I guess that answers the question." I heard Emily state as I barely looked up at her in the doorway with Sue.

"Do you want me to check everything Bri?" Sue asked.

"The guys are coming." Leah said grabbing the test. I grabbed her hand stopping her and taking it from her as I heard the door downstairs open.

"Tell him I need to speak with him please." I said as she helped me stand and I walked and sat on the edge of my old bed. Leah nodded as they walked out. I could already hear my brother and husband on the stairs. I was so surprised that he was genuinely worried about me.

"Brianna?" I wiped my face turning my head towards the door as I saw Paul's handsome face, I felt my eyes water more.

"Hey." I said softly as he came in and shut the door.

"Are you ok? I have been worried after you left there was this weird feeling, then Sam and Jared said you were sick."

"Sit down." I said softly as he stopped pacing and looked at me. He sat down next to me while I stared at my hands.

"Bri, what's wrong, whatever it is I-" he trailed off as he grabbed my hands, hitting the test I was holding. I knew he was staring at it so I held it out for him.

A few seconds later I felt his heartbeat accelerate but what surprised me was the fact absolutely no thoughts were going through his mind. It was blank. I took his lack of response as a negative and felt tears falling from my face. I quickly walked out of the room going downstairs.

"How did-" Leah stopped as she saw my face.

"Brianna, what's wrong?" Sam said grabbing me as I cried harder.

"Brianna?" I turned my head looking to Paul who stood pale at the bottom of the stairs. The test still in his left hand. "Is, is this-?" I nodded responding to his question. Paul quickly moved forward jerking me tightly into his arms. As he did I cried causing him to hold me tighter as he rubbed my back. "Shh, relax I got you, I'm here."

"I, I'm sorry I-"

"Brianna, look at me." He said pulling back and holding my arms. "You are my wife, even more so you are my imprint, I love you more than anything, do not apologize I am not mad, I should be saying sorry to you for being such a dick."

"I- what about?" Paul dropped to his knees in front of me pulling me towards him as he lay his head against my stomach.

"I would never be mad about something so beautiful. I'm shocked because I didn't think it could still happen but I promise both of you here and now I will go to the ends of this world to protect and love you both." He said as he kissed my stomach making me cry harder.

"What the hell is going on?" My brother asked sternly as everyone looked towards him.
