I rolled my head over and smiled at Drew. He smiled back and turned on his back to look at the ceiling.
I scooted over and traced the long scar on his stomach. He shivered slightly and put his hand around my waist. "What's this from?" I asked.
He sucked in a deep breath and blew it out noisily before answering me. "A knife."
I was honestly shocked. "A knife?"
He nodded. "It was almost a year ago."
I nodded.
"But, it's another story for another day."
We were quiet and I was about to fall asleep when he turned and pulled me into his chest.
"I have been thinking." he said.
"About?" I whispered and yawned.
"I want a baby." he said quietly.
I pressed my face in his chest and started crying.
He sat and pulled me on his lap. He was brushing the hair from my face and trying to calm me down. "Honey, it's okay if you don't want to have a baby." he whispered. "It was just a thought."
I shook my head and stared up at him.
He leaned down and kissed my wet cheeks.
"Drew?" I whispered.
He looked at me and softly. "Hmm?"
"I-I don't know how to tell you this." I whispered shakily. My heart was beating a million miles per hour.
"Just tell me." he urged gently.
"I'm pregnant." I stared up at him and tears filled my eyes again.
"What?" he whispered.
I nodded. "I am going to have a baby."
He was still for a few moments and the tears spilled down my cheeks.
When he looked at me he was crying too. He grinned and hugged me tightly.
I laughed and put my arms around him.
He kissed my shoulder and we cried quietly for a little while.
"Drew?" I cleared my throat.
"Yeah?" he looked at me.
"I love you." I smiled.
"I love you too." he pecked my lips. He laid back and I laid on his chest.
"I want to keep it a secret, for a little while longer?"
He looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Longer? How far along are you?"
"Five weeks. But please? Can we keep it a
secret? I want to tell our families but not yet." I was mainly thinking of my dad. I didn't want my baby to die and I didn't want to die either.
He nodded. "Yeah."
"Thank you." I smiled softly.
He smiled and closed his eyes. "I'm going to be a dad." he whispered.
I grinned and yawned. I'm going to be a mom.
"Wait if you're already five weeks along, then we conceived on our wedding night?" he asked with a questioning tone. He looked down at me. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I wanted to but it was hard. Do you want to hear something cool?" I grinned.
He nodded.
"I'll be right back." I said and pulled the sheet off the bed as I went out of the room because I was naked. I went into my grandma's old room and found her stethoscope. I walked back to Drew and laid on the bed. "Put these in your ears." I handed the buds to him and put the end on my stomach. "Tell me when you hear it." I moved it around and after a few seconds he put his hand over mine and I stopped.
He looked at me and smiled. "I hear the baby's heartbeat."
I nodded. "Isn't it wonderful?"
He nodded and closed his eyes to listen for a few more minutes. He took the buds out and folded the stethoscope and put it on the floor beside the bed. He pulled me closer to him and we laid down to go to sleep. "I love you Alex." he kissed me cheek.
"I love you too." I smiled and finally fell asleep.
