-Josh-
I walked up the drive to our house and unlocked the door. I saw Cady sat on the sofa, crying. I rushed over to her and sat by her side. Pulling her into a hug, she rested her hands on my chest and cried into my neck.
"Cady, what's wrong?"
-Cady-
I couldn't tell him, at least not for now,
"Babe?" He looked worried as he looked in my eyes and asked me again for an answer,
"Nothing, I just missed you that's all" He sat on the floor in front of me and took my hand, looking up at my face.
"I know you're lying, George told me I needed to talk to you, why wont you tell me?"
"Josh, I-"
"Cady, is it something I have said?"
"No, Josh, just-"
"Is it because you cant cope with me not being around?"
"Josh-"
"Cady, its my job, but you are more important than that, please tell me" Josh kept interrupting me, but this time we both went silent, I sat with my jaw hanging slightly open, wishing the words would just fall out of my mouth.
"I need to go and get something, stay right here, don't move"
"Cady, where are you go-"
"Just stay here" I ran upstairs to go and get the paperwork the doctor had given me after he ran the tests. The paperwork that said I was pregnant. I walked down the stairs slowly, wondering how I would give it to him, what I would say.
"Cady? Whats that?" He tried to take it out of my hand, but I pulled it away.
"Josh, I understand if you don't want this, but I do." I sat on the sofa and passed him the papers. He paced around for a while reading them (There was about six pages, and only on the fifth did it actually tell you I was pregnant). I watched him flick to the fifth page. My heart started beating faster as I waited for his reaction. His hands started to shake and his jaw dropped.
"Yo-you're pregnant?"
"Josh listen, I understand if you don't want me to have the baby-" Josh pressed his finger to my lips to shut me up,
"Sh, this is the best news I have had in months!"
"Really?"
"Of course! But if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I was scared"
"Scared of what?"
"That you would leave me because you thought I was too young, and that you didn't want this, I don't know, I just, I-"
"Cady, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! I would never leave you, especially over something as amazing and special like this"
I took a deep breath and stood in front of where Josh was sitting.
"Okay" I meant to say it to myself but it kind of slipped out.
"Cady, what are you doing?"
"This" I pulled my jumper over my head revealing the smallest baby bump, but it was big enough to know there was something there. Josh stood up and tears spilled out from his eyes, he walked up to me so I brushed them away.
"You two people, are the most important and special people in my life. And don't you ever forget that" Josh said stroking my stomach. He kissed me lightly on the lips and sat me on the sofa, he went into the kitchen and brought me back some oranges
"I guess these are your craving then?"
"Was it really that obvious?"
He passed me the bowl and pulled the blanket over us. I was practically lying on him. His arm was wrapped around my shoulder and my head was resting on his. He put a film on and we just lay there together in silence, Josh was stroking my shoulder sending sweet shivers down my spine. Thoughts started to sweep into my mind, I stood up fast,
"I can't do this"
"Do what Cad?"
"Have a baby, I'm twenty one, I'm not ready for this. I can't, I just can't. I'm scared Josh. Very scared"
"Cady, you can do this, we can do this. together"
"No, we can't, neither of us are ready. Josh, this isn't going to happen. It can't be happening"
"Cady, we are as ready as we will ever be. And as long as we have each other, we will be fine. More than fine, we will be great. All I know is you are going to be the best mother this baby could ever wish for. I know it's scary, I'm scared too. But we will get through this, yes there will be tough patches, but we will. I know it"
I cried into his chest as he held me in a hug, not too tight, but comforting.
"And you are going to be the best father"
I could feel Josh's tears dripping onto my forehead. Maybe he was right, we were as ready as we will ever be.
"Let's go to bed babe, you are probably tired"
We walked up to our bedroom and put our pyjamas on. We lay down next to each other and Josh pulled me in closer. He rest his head in the crook of my neck, I was so glad he was back. I felt safe again. I drifted off to sleep in his arms, for yet another night.
