Blame It (Of Mice & Men)

Sushi Date

"Oh Alan! I'm gonna cum," I groaned. His thrusts sped up and I squealed in pleasure. I moaned out as we both hit climax, my legs shaking as Alan slowly thrusted a few more times, riding it out. "Wait!" I yelled as he tried to pull out. "What? Why?" he asked, holding his weight on his hands. "The sperm has to have time to travel! Just, uh, lay here for a few minutes," I said, shifting underneath him. He rolled his eyes, but did as I said.

Julia had stayed the night with her friend from the park, so Alan and I decided we'd start trying to have the baby tonight. Since we didn't get to plan Julia, I wanted to plan this baby. I read all the books and websites and I think Alan was a little confused because for all he knew, if you just fucked without a condom or birth control, a baby would most likely be conceived. Which was true, but I wanted to go all out this time.

He lowered himself to lay on top of me, his head resting on my chest as I played with his hair. "So what do you want it to be," he asked, looking up at me. "I dunno," I shrugged. "We already have one little girl, but I'd be happy with whatever. As long as he or she is healthy." He nodded, pulling out of me and flopping over beside me.

His arm snaked around my waist as he pulled me closer to him, kissing my temple. "I love you," he said, kissing my lips. "I love you too, babe," I said, snuggling my nose into his chest before falling asleep.

Alan had gone to the studio today and so it was just gonna be Julia and I hanging out. She was downstairs watching Beauty and the Beast so I took the time to use the pregnancy tests I had bought the day after Alan and I had sex.

It'd been a week or two and I was dying to know. I told Julia I was going to the bathroom and she nodded, popping a piece of popcorn in her mouth. I shut the door behind me, reaching under the sink to grab the tests. I did the same thing I did the first time, almost peeing on myself in the process.

"Ew," I said, sitting the test on the sink. I did the other one and sat it beside it, pulling my jeans back up and walking around the bathroom. I checked twitter and Instagram when I noticed the time was up. My hands got sweaty and I stood, standing over the sink, not looking down just yet.

"One, two three," I whispered, opening my eyes and looking down to see two positive tests. I jumped up and down, squealing. I pulled out my phone, taking a picture of the tests before calling my "lady doctor" to set up an appointment to make sure there was a baby, and if so, if it was healthy or not.

They told me they had a spot for today at 5, and I looked at the clock to see it was already 4. I accepted and walked down the stairs. "Julia, I'm gonna take you to Uncle Tino's for a little bit, okay? I have a doctors appointment," I told her. She smiled and jumped up, pulling on her shoes and running out to the car.

I climbed in the drivers seat, calling Tino. "Hello?" "Hey," I said, pulling out of the driveway. "Can you watch Jellyfish for a little bit? I have a doctors appointment." "Yeah, of course. Just come right in," he said. "Okay, thank you." "No problem, little sister," he said, the line going dead.

I sat my phone down and pulled into Tino's driveway. Julia unbuckled and ran up to the door. I saw her knock and run in, closing the door behind her. I got out and walked inside, saying a quick hi to Tino and bye to Julia before heading to the doctor.

I texted Alan, telling him to meet me for lunch. I walked into the sushi place, sitting at a vacant booth. I shrugged my coat off my shoulders and sat it beside me. The waitress came by and got my drink order before walking away.

I looked up to see Alan walk in, smiling at me before sitting across from me. "Hey, baby," he said, pushing up the sleeves on his shirt. He leaned forward to place a kiss on my lips before looking around. "Where's Jules?" he asked. "She's at Tino's. I went to the doctor." He raise an eyebrow. "Are you feeling sick?" he asked.

The waitress came by as handed me my chai tea, bringing Alan his Coke and getting our food orders. "Um, miso soup and a tempura veggie roll please," I said, placing my menu on top of Alan's. The waitress nodded and walked off. "Huh? No spicy tuna? That's your favorite!" he said.

"Well, you can't eat a lot of fish when you're pregnant," I said, smiling at him. His eyes got wide as a grin took up his face. I pulled the sonogram picture from my pocket and slid it across the table. His eyes welled with tears and he leaned across the table, placing his hands on either side of my face before kissing me.

He sat back down and held up his phone and took a picture of me as I pulled fish face at the last second. He handed me his phone and I took one of him making the same fish face. Then he took a picture of the sonogram, smiling as he looked at it. My phone rang out and I looked down at it to see, as usual, Alan tagging me in a post.

I clicked on it to see a collage of Alan, our baby, and I.
