*Pippa's POV*
Lin had just proposed to me and I felt butterflies in my stomach, I was so excited. This is exactly where I wanted to be in life.
I'm successful in what I do, I have adoring fans, and now, a caring and loving fiancée, oh! And of course the cutest little boy who I consider my son.
They were all I needed, it was enough for me.
Between all of this excitement, I knew it was time to tell Lin. I couldn't keep waiting to tell him, for I know I'd never tell him before it was too late.
But, I'll tell him at home.
Right now, there are a bunch of eyes on us because of our engagement. After I had said yes, Lin picked me up and spun me around as everyone clapped and cheered.
I didn't want anything to spoil this moment, not that the news I had for him would, but I didn't want to risk it.
"What is it?" Lin asked me after I told him I had something to tell him. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It can wait until we're home, right now, I just want to live in this moment. Our moment." I said and kissed him again.
Lin smiled that goofy smile of his and we made our way back to our seats to wait for our dessert.
Our desserts arrive and written on the plate in chocolate syrup is "Congratulations! :)". It made Lin and I smile and Sebastian laugh.
We ordered cheesecake, but Sebastian was more interested in the chocolate writing, so he licked it off of our plates and Lin laughed his head off.
They were both complete weirdos, but I loved them with all my heart.
By 8:00, we had made it back home. Sebastian was still wide awake and hyper.
I watched as Lin attempted to catch him to get him ready for bed.
Sebastian was finally caught at 8:30 and fell asleep as soon as Lin set him down. By then, I was already changed into my pajamas and I was waiting in the bed for Lin. As I waited, I thought of how I wanted to tell him.
I heard him singing to Sebastian so I knew I had some time to buy. I pulled out my phone and quickly texted Renée.
P: ReRe, help me. I don't know how to tell him.
R: Just breathe. Tell him straight forward, point blank, Pip he needs to know, it effects both of you.
She's right.
P: but what if he's upset? I mean... it's just so soon!
R: Phillipa Soo! Would you stop over thinking so much? Gosh. Tell him and let me know how it goes. Love you, xo.
I set my phone down and waited for Lin. I was nervous.
Go figure, I can stand up in front of an entire theatre filled with people attending and preform for almost three hours, but I can't tell Lin this one thing.
Lin finally came into the bedroom and he smiled at me as he sat in the bed.
"So! What'd you have to tell me?" He asked as he took his hand into mine.
I knew I couldn't wait any longer.
I took a deep breath and began to tell him.
"Okay. So, I know this is all kinda of.. sudden. And you may think that it's too soon, but-" I was cut off by Lin who interrupted me.
"Wait, Pippa, are you pregnant?" He asked, his eyes wide.
I laughed and shook my head.
"No, I'm not pregnant, you can calm down." I said and lightly nudged him.
He smiled and let out a sigh of relief before I continued.
"As I was saying, I um.."
I was stalling again.
"Okay. I can't keep doing this." I said quickly.
"I know this is so soon, but, I know when I want to leave the show. I went to audition for Amelie, you know, that French movie? Well, it's being turned into a musical, and I- I got the lead.."
He looked at me shocked for a minute. I was trying to read his face for a sign, but nothing. I couldn't make anything out of it.
"Pippa... that's.. that's amazing. I'm so happy for you!" He said and kissed my cheek.
Phew.
He was happy for me and not mad or upset or hurt.
Thank God.
"I think my last day is gonna be some time in July." I said and looked at him. "By then, I would've been involved with the show for about two years, and I'd also have to get ready for California because that's where it'll preview before Broadway." I said and cuddled into Lin's side.
He nodded.
"When you leave, I'll leave. We'll go to California together.." he smiled.
He kissed me goodnight and I feel into a blissful sleep.
