*2 weeks later* (sorry for another time skip pls forgive)

"So are you pregnant?" Caspar asks as soon as I open the bathroom door.
"Caspar we have to wait like five minutes." I giggle, blocking the doorway so he doesn't see the results first.
He tries to push past me to see the stick.
"Uh uh," I say, pushing him backwards, "I get to see first, not you."
Caspar whines like a little child who didn't get the lollies that they wanted at the supermarket.

"Come on, let's just do something else." I suggest, trying to take his mind off it.
"Hmm. No." He decides.
"Caspar.. come on." I say, shutting the bathroom door and pulling him away.
As I'm pulling Caspar, I can feel his arm shaking like mad.
"Caspar I don't want this to be the only thing on your mind, it's not surprising enough if it is." I say, continuing to pull him down the stairs.
"Come on, we need some stuff from the shops anyway. Let's go and we can look when we get back." I say, dragging him to the front door.
He walks out the door, sulking as I grab my car keys, house keys, phone and wallet.
"Stop sulking Cas, worst outcome is negative and we can just try again. Let's get prenatal vitamins at the shops and then it'll help with or without a positive result on this try." I smile.

We arrive at the shops, I pull out a trolley and we walk through the automatic doors into Coles.
We go through the shop, getting normal groceries and I get pads and tampons because I ran out and I'm due for my next period in about a week if I'm not pregnant.
Caspar keeps looking at all the pregnancy tests and reads the back of them all.
He walks over to me.
"We didn't do it at the right time." He says.
"Caspar. I know it's best to do it in the morning but we had sex two weeks ago. If anything settled in there in the first place, it would show up."
"Alright..." He replies, sounding upset.
"Babe, you clearly want this baby. If it's not positive today, we'll try again tonight. Grab some pregnancy tests, we don't have any left." I smile.

His face lights up and he goes back over to the pregnancy tests and gets two boxes which both contain two tests.
We don't really need that many but at least we'll have spares.

We finish doing the shopping, walking around the store chatting and picking up a few extra things on the way to the register and then pay.
Today's quite busy so I'd rather be out as quick as I can.
We make it to the underground car park and pack all the groceries into the boot and I get in the driver's seat while Caspar takes the trolley back to the bay.

He hops in the passenger seat and I drive off back home.

When we get home, Cas tries to get to the front door before me and I put my arm out to block him and I accidentally elbow him straight in the stomach and he makes a puking sound, being dramatic. I quickly get in the house before Caspar and put all the shopping I was carrying on the ground and rush up the stairs to check the test.

I lock the bathroom door so I can find out myself, after all, if this is anything, I'm the one carrying the child.
I pick up the test and it has two red lines. My heart stops and I try to keep quiet as the tears flood my eyes.
"Charlie? Why is the door locked? Let me see the test. Please."
I can't believe it. We're having a baby. I can't contain the excitement inside of me as the tears fall continuously.
I slowly open the door with tears in my eyes and Caspar gives an obvious look of worry.
"Babe, what is it?" He asks with furrowed brows.
I hand him the test, still crying and hug him.
I look up at him as he looks at the test and his jaw drops as he too, starts crying.
"Charlie... We're having a baby. We're parents." He whispers, kissing the top of my head.
"I love you." I whisper back.
"I love you." He kisses me gently on the lips and then moves to my stomach. "And don't think I forgot about you!" He says with an excited voice, talking to the probably microscopic baby in my belly.

I wrap my arms around his neck when he stands up and squeal with excitement.
"Let's keep it a secret so it's a surprise!" I suggest.
"Exactly what I was thinking babe. We've gotta think about names now! How long until we know if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Caspar," I laugh at his excitement through the few tears falling down my cheeks, "around 18-20 weeks we can get an ultrasound and find out the gender of the baby." I smile.

"Well, remember when we were on the way to our first date and we were talking about what we'd like to name our first children? Do you remember what those names were?" I ask, seeing if he was paying attention back then.
"Well I know what name I wanted for a girl because I still want it. I want my baby girl to be named Sunny. I can't remember exactly the name you first said but I know that you like... Bailey? And Cooper I think? I can't remember the other names." Caspar replies honestly.
"Okay well for a girl I wanted Nevaeh but I've been leaning towards Emilia lately. I love the sound of it and the spelling and everything." I start, "But I also love the name Sunny! So if we have a girl, we'll call her Sunny. And the first boy name I said was Oliver but I feel like I'm a new person, I've changed so many things. I like the name Noah. Do you like it?"
"Yes that was one of my picks for a boy too!" Caspar points out.

"Okay so we're kinda ready." I smile.
"What about middle names? Do you wanna go sentimental or just whatever sounds nice?"
"Well your mum's name is Emily so that doesn't go with Emilia since they're almost the same and my mum's name is Marcie so I don't know if that goes either. We can decide along the way but we'll probably go with something that sounds good." I smile.
He smiles back in agreement and hugs me again.
"Charlie I'm so glad we're having a baby." He whispers.
"Me too, so many things to do. We might need to move house soon. Not as soon as it's born but probably a bit after."
We go to our room and decide to take a nap together because of all the emotion we've been through today - we're both exhausted.

Oh my god. I'm so so sorry that it's been such a wait 😭 I feel like my inspiration is gone because there's a huge demand from school since I'm in year 12, I've been having anxiety attacks all the time and I'm just drained :( sorry. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, remember to vote, comment and follow :))
