loving Her From A Distance

Wanna Know (Joe's POV)

*2 days later*

It's been 2days now that I last seen cyn so I'm on my way to her place because she hasn't been around as of late and I needed to know what was up with her. I pulled up about 30 minutes later and let myself in with her spear key. I called out for her once but I didn't hear anything so I made my way up to her room to see if she was there and she was but she was sleeping.

I watched her for a while, took off my coat and placed it on the door handle and then went to use the bathroom. I was washing my hands in the  bathroom when I saw it.

I paused to stare at the object of my scrutiny for several minutes, letting the warm water continue to run a few seconds after the last trace of soap had left my hands. I continued to stare at it as I turned the water off and reached for the towel hanging on the wall to the right of the sink to wipe my wet hands off.

It was a pregnancy test. Partially covered by a piece of paper, but the pink and white box was indistinguishable. An opened and obviously used one since there was nothing actually in the box, plus it was in the trashcan.

I bent down to pick the empty box up just to be sure, and just like I suspected, it was empty. There was nothing but the instructions inside. God only knew where the actual test was now.

Something told me to look back in that bin and I did; I took a look back inside the trashcan and saw the pregnancy test at the bottom, it was positive.

*What the hell? Was his first thought as he stared at the Clear Blue box, holding it at arms length, as if he was afraid that it would give him some kind of disease if he held it any closer. Though, once he got over the initial shock of seeing the test in the first place, he wondered why she didn't tell him that she thought she might be pregnant*.

I heard the bedroom door open and the sound of Cyn calling out for me, "Joe! You here!" Cyn voice sounded from the hallway.

Yeah! Be there in a minute!" I called, still staring at the Clear Blue box in my hand.

I Wondering what to do now.… should I confront her right now? Or wait till I know where her heads at first. Several more questions flew through my brain, but I finally decided to keep my mouth shut until at least after I figured out if she was pregnant.

With that decision made, I flattened the box and stuffed it into the pocket of  my jeans before turning and leaving the bathroom, shutting the lights off as I went.

4hours later

We were  now eating dinner and continued to make small talk throughout dinner, all while in the back of my mind I kept thinking about what I had found not 3 hours before. It was bothering me now… a lot more than I  thought it should. At this point I wasn't even listening to Cyn story about her and her friend. I have to say something.....

"ARE YOU PREGNANT?" I blurted out 

Cyn choked on the sip of water she had just taken, dropping her fork and winced as it clattered noisily against her plate.

"What?" was the response he got

"You heard me Cyn I found this" he threw the flattened box on the table, "in the upstairs bathroom today… and I want to know are you pregnant?!"

"Joey…" she glanced towards him, "I-I-I "

"You're cheating on me!" he accused, once again, before he could stop himself.

"What?" Cyn asked, her eyes wide, "What?! No, I'm not!"

"Then, explain to me why the hell I found a pregnancy test in the damn bathroom and you hid it from me, plus you've been really distance lately and the last time we had sex was almost a month ago!"

"It was mine ok, Joe! But I swear I didn't cheat on you. And the reason why I've been so distance is because I wanted some space to think. I can't believe you right now,this is why I didn't tell you in the first place * getting up from the table and walks upstairs*

"Babe"! Baby I'm sorry..... Wait *going after cyn* I never ment that ok...... I was just upset that you didn't tell me that there could be a chance *holding cyn around her waist* you need to communicate with me even if you're scared".

"*turning around to face him*  I understand that but you can't accuse me of cheating on you.... You know I would never do that, you clearly don't trust me. *trying to pull away from him but he kept his grip*

" Don't say that *pecking her lips* you know I trust you.  I love you!.....  Baby I know I overreacted I just didn't know what to think. Do you forgive me? *making a silly face*

" I love you too *laughing*  I forgive you babe.

"Sooooo are you pregnant?!"

"No I'm not pregnant *sounding a little down*

"Baby, come here *hugging her* but the test I saw was positive.... *sounding worried* did you Los *gco*

"No! I didn't lose it; It was a false alarm. I checked with my doctor"

"Oh! But if you were, would you have kept it"?

She get out of Joe's grip and sat on the bed directly in front of him looking in his eyes, before answering the question.

"Honestly I don't think I would have, I mean I love kids but I think it would've been too soon. But after my doctor told me I wasn't I just cried, so maybey I would've. I don't know ..... Do you hate me?

*bending down to cyn's level* No I could never hate you..... Besides I think It would be too soon also but if you were pregnant I would've wanted you to keep it. But I don't hate you we just need to be more careful that's all and communicatie because at some point I most definitely will put a baby in you *they both laugh* but it has to be the right decision for the both of us that's all. * kissing cyn lips again*

" I love you....you know that" *kissing him back*

" I know, let's go finish our food because a Nigga hungry *laughing*

"You're sure a fool *laughing also*  let's go.....

And with that they both went back downstairs and finished their food before watching a moving and then went to bed happy that they've over come a Lil bump in there relationship.
