A/N: A short one but I am going to be very busy for the next 3 weeks so I am currently writing lots of shorts so I have lots to post before and after I go on holiday (and hopefully some while I'm away).
My eyes bored into the object I held in my hands. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My hands began to shake and I dropped it, it clattered onto the floor of my bathroom.
But I took the pill. I took it. We used protection. We did everything right.
My thoughts were going wild with possibilities and I couldn't think. But then everything disappeared from my mind when I considered how Colin might react. We had been dating for about a year and a half but I still wasn't sure whether he was ready for such a huge step.
Trudging into the lounge, I slumped onto the sofa and just sat there for what felt like an eternity. Engrossed in speculation.
The familiar roar of my boyfriend's car engine became unmistakable when he pulled into our driveway. The indisputable noise of the key's being fumbled around outside. The conspicuous slamming of the door as he entered.
"Babe?" He called. I didn't want him to see me. I didn't want him to hear me. Notice me, at that. I just wanted him to go away until I figured everything out. "Babe?"
I felt his presence behind me. Felt him staring at me. "Are you OK?"
Folding my arms, I felt myself shudder all over. I had no idea how to even begin. What to say or how to say it.
"What's wrong?" Colin's face exhibited an inquisitive look.
"There is something I have to say and I don't know how to say it," I paused, not knowing how to continue.
"Tell me." He murmured, sitting beside me.
"I don't really know how." I trailed off.
He moved closer to me and lifted up my chin. "Whatever it is, you can tell me. Just say it, straight out. I won't judge you for it."
After pausing to contemplate it, I gazed into his bright blue eyes. "Colin, I'm pregnant."
I watched his eyes widen and saw a sudden spark appear in them. A fire arose inside of him like he was witnessing something purely amazing. There was a long pause.
"That's fantastic!" He cheered and took me by the arms to stand me up, pulling me into a hug. "I'm gonna be a dad?" He mentioned it as more of a question at first but then started saying it over and over as if he were trying to get used to the idea. "I'm gonna be a dad, we're gonna be parents!"
His breathing had become heavier as he got more enthusiastic but he stopped when he realised I wasn't even smiling at the thought of it. "Aren't you excited?
"I-I don't know what to think." I stuttered.
"Why? We're having a baby! What's there to think about?" I snapped my head towards Colin in astonishment at how naive he was acting.
"Col, there is everything to think about! Where are we going to get the money? Who is going to quit their job?"
He started to pace back and forth, as if debating. "It'll be fine, we'll work it out." He reasoned.
"No, you don't understand! We are gonna lose sleep, I'm gonna get fat, I'm gonna start getting really random cravings, I'm gonna be sick...a lot, I'm gonna get hormonal, I have to push a damn baby out of my vagina, Colin, do you realise how much that's gonna hurt?"
Colin's facial expression scrunched up in a little disgust. "But, we're going to get through it because we love each other and we are strong."
"You really want to do this?"
He cupped my face with his warm hands. "We were probably going to end up doing this somewhere down the line. If it's not now, it's in a year or two's time and we might not even be prepared then. I don't wanna get an abortion just because we're not ready - we can make ourselves ready."
"Things are going to get harder, there are times I am going to hate you and we are going to fight."
"And we'll work it out." Colin grinned. "We're having a baby."
A smile crept onto my face and I giggled as he picked me up and twirled me around, attacking my lips and neck with kisses.
He knelt down and lifted my top to reveal my flat belly, placing a hand on it. "I'm going to love you like crazy when you get out of there."
A/N: like I said, it's short but I hoped you like. Comments, as always, are greatly appreciated <3
