Colby walked in my house sneaking up behind me to surprise me. He snaked his arms around my waist startling me only to calm myself down due to a kiss on my shoulder.
"I have news." Colby whispered against my skin causing chills.
"What is it?" I asked bringing my bottom lip between my teeth. I turned to face him with his arms still around me. He looked excited so it had to be good news. Right?
"I got a great new job offer." He smiled and so did I. I clapped excitedly and cupped his cheeks bringing him in for a kiss.
"I'm so proud of you, Colby!!" I told him but he looked down and bit his lip.
"But there's a bit of an issue." He continued. My eyebrows furrowed.
"What's the issue? What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"It's in New York..." My face dropped at that. That's almost three thousand miles away.
"Colby...I...I don't know what to say." I looked down and started to tear up.
"Baby, I don't even know if I'm going to take the job yet or not. It'll be okay I promise. I can't be without you." Colby tried to comfort me.
"Of course you're taking that job, Colby. It's a once in a lifetime offer. Why wouldn't you take it? I'll be fine and once I finish this semester I'll move over there with you and it'll all be okay." I tried to reassure myself more than Colby but it really wasn't working I wanted to cry more than ever.
"Baby, I don't want to be without you for that long. I can't be without you for that long. If you can't come out there with me then I'm staying here. I can't live without you." He told me cupping my face tears welling in his eyes.
"Colby, everything will be fine. It will all be okay. How long do you have until the offer is taken back?" I asked drying my tears trying to think of a way to get through this.
"I've got a month to get everything together and give them an answer if I say yes they'll give me a few weeks to get everything packed and get me moved out there." He explained.
"Maybe you could talk to them about getting an extension and then we'll have plenty of time. I'll finish out the semester and we can both move out there together." I told him planting the idea in his head and he called the New York office as soon as he could get them on the phone asking about the extension. They gave him an extra month. "Babe, that gives me plenty of time. We'll be out there before we know it. Together." I smiled putting my hand against his cheek smiling happily. The time flew and in a week we were supposed to be flying out to New York. We were packed and so close to moving until I got sick. Really sick. I had no idea how bad it was until we were packing one night and I passed out. I woke up in the hospital surrounded by doctors. I looked around dumbfounded by the noise. Finally the room cleared out and it was just me and a nurse who was asking me a string of questions.
"I'm sorry, but I'd feel more comfortable answering these with my boyfriend present. Where is he?" I asked trying to slow my breathing because I was so confused as to what was going on.
"He's in the waiting room. We'll let him in." The nurse said. Colby was allowed in and he immediately ran to me and hugged me tightly kissing my face everywhere.
"Oh my God, baby girl. Are you okay???" He asked very seriously with extreme concern on his face.
"I'm not sure, Colby. I wanted you in here to answer these questions with me." I answered. The nurse got back to her questioning. They were typical medical questions of course but I was still confused.
"Dear, you passed out because you're pregnant. We'd like to keep you over night for some tests." That shocked me.
"Hold on what?? Pregnant??" I asked I was completely oblivious. I couldn't believe I didn't know. I felt like an idiot.
"Baby, we're gonna have a baby?" Colby looked at me with confusion.
I smiled, "I guess we're not going to New York?"
