What You Wanted (A OneRepublic Fanfic)

Amelia

Jo's POV

The room was eerily silent. Then tension between the both of us was so thick you can cut it with a knife. His eyes widen and his jaw drops as his sights continue from my eyes to my stomach.

"H-how?" He stuttered.

"How do you think you dunce?!" I glared at him.

"I know. I know. But are you sure you're pregnant?" He asked.

"Took four tests. They all came back positive."

I studied his face for a minute as he ran his fingers through his hair. He looks like all the color has drained from his face.

"I take it by your reaction you're not happy." I said looking down at my hands, not wanting to look at his face anymore.

Suddenly I felt his fingertips brush against my chin and lifted my head up to his gaze.

"Please don't say that baby. You're making me sound like I didn't want this." He whispered.

"Well do you want this?" I asked as I rested my hand gently on his cheek.

"Of course I do Jo. I just didn't think it would be so soon." He said as he pressed his forehead against mine.

We fell back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"We're having a kid." Ryan said as it began to sink into his mind as well as it did mine.

I stayed quiet and continued to stare at the ceiling until I felt his hand lock fingers with mine.

"I'm gonna be there every step of the way you know that right?" I heard him say as he shifted his body towards mine.

I shifted my body so that I could face him and replied,

"I do."

He took my hand and kissed it gently.

"I love you Jo and I'll never leave your side." He whispered, making my heart skip a beat.

"I love you too Ryan." I smiled.

We stayed in each other's embrace for what seemed like a lifetime. We didn't say anything to each other, almost as if everything we needed to say was said telepathically.

Like my mother always said, "When two intelligent people are attracted to each other, nothing is needed to be said physically. As if you can read each other's minds."

My mom would've loved to hear the news.

"Thinking about your mom half-pint?" Ryan said as he ran his thumb across my cheek wiping away the stray tear I didn't know rolled downy cheek.

"Yeah." I sniffed.

"I know how much you miss her. I mean I don't know but..." He trailed off.

"I know you meant well honey." I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him blush.

"Well look at that! If I didn't know any better, I'd say your blushing Mr. Tedder." I said, giving him a cheeky smile.

"Shut up." He said as he took the advantage and pinned my hands over my head.

He leans in and kisses my neck, sending chills up and down my spine.

"Baby stop." I giggled as he started tickling me.

He lets go and lifts my t-shirt up to my bra, running his hands down my stomach.

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" He asked suddenly as he pressed his ear against my stomach.
