This Isn't My Idea of Love

Chapter Nineteen: False Negative

Viola sighed as she stared at the negative pregnancy test, it had been nearly a month since she had married Lionel and they had yet to be successful.

The brunette washed her hand as she looked at the pregnancy test annoyed, she didn't know what they were doing wrong but she knew their parents were getting impatient.

“Anything?” Lionel asked as she exited the bathroom, he knew that if something didn't happen soon then their parents would start asking questions; he didn't even want to think about the doctor that they would send them to.

“Nope,” Viola replied annoyed making her husband groan as he lay back on the bed; the couple had taken every method that they could think of to make sure that the brunette fell pregnant.

Lionel watched Viola, the last month with her had been amazing, he hadn’t thought that married life could be like this with her; she was even interested in coming to watch him play something that he hadn’t been able to get Antonella to do.

“We’ll try again tonight and take a test next week,” the argentine mused making his wife nod her head, she sat down next to him wondering what they could do to make her fall pregnant quicker.

Viola glanced at Lionel; she knew that he had training that afternoon while she was heading around to Chris and Blaine’s home to help them decorate.

“So what do you want to do for dinner?” Viola asked as she pushed herself to her feet, Lionel looked at his wife, who was dressed in a cream lace top and indigo slim boyfriend jeans paired with nude pointed high heels with toe cap.

“We could have Carbonada criolla,” Lionel said making Viola nod her head, it was clear that their thoughts were focused on the fact that she wasn’t pregnant again; the footballer sighed as he pushed himself to his feet.

“I’ll pick up some Cava on the way home,” Lionel said making Viola nod her head as she rested a hand on her nauseated stomach, she swallowed making Lionel look at her concerned.

If she wasn’t pregnant then she probably picked up the stomach bug that Zaida and Olaya had last week.

“Maybe you should just have an easy day,” Lionel said making Viola look at him, she knew that he was worried about her but she didn't feel unwell; she just felt a little sick and didn't think anything of it.

“I’ll be okay,” Viola said making her husband look at her worried, he didn't want her pushing herself to hard only for her to end up in hospital sicker than she was now.

Lionel ran a hand through his hair, he watched her for a moment before sighing.

“If you feel any worse come home por favor and call me,” he said concerned about her; Viola nodded her head with a small smile.

***

Viola laughed softly as she looked at Chris who was trying to convince Blaine that they didn't need any professional help; even through there was a large hole in the wall that shouldn’t be there.

It was at that moment that her stomach lurched and she threw herself over the kitchen sink so that she could be sick, she heard Chris moan that she was messing up their kitchen.

Blaine moved to get Viola something to wipe her mouth, he looked at her concerned as she turned on the tap in an attempt to clean out the sink; she apologised as she rested a hand on her stomach.

“Are you pregnant?” Chris asked excitedly as he moved towards his best friend, she shook her head as she remembered the negative result that she had received that morning.

“Come on Lala… you haven’t been well all week, you’ve been tired a lot lately, you pee nearly every hour and your boobs look bigger,” Chris sang as Viola stared at him.

She didn't believe that he had noticed all them things about her, Blaine nodded his head in agreement with Chris; he had also noticed a change in the brunette.

“I can’t be… I took a test this morning and it was negative,” Viola said softly making her two friends grin; she stared at them oddly wondering what they were thinking.

“It could have been a false negative… you might be about four weeks along and the signs are only just making themselves known,” Blaine said making Viola sit down as the news started to sink in; she was going to have to take another test.

***

The brunette swallowed as she checked over Carbonada criolla, she had wanted to make sure that everything was perfect before she told Lionel that they were expecting; Viola knew that this would take a lot of pressure off of them.

Viola swallowed nervously wondering how she should tell him that she was pregnant, she leant against the counter and looked at the seven pregnancy tests that Chris had forced her to take; five of them were positive and two of them were negative.

“Viola? I’m home,” Lionel called as he entered the home; Viola could hear him dropping his kit bag off in the laundry room before he came into the kitchen looking for her.

Lionel looked at her confused as he set the bottle of wine on the counter, he didn't know what it was but he had a feeling that something had happened while he was at training.

“Are you okay?” Lionel asked making Viola grin at him as she nodded her head, she brushed some hair from her face and bit her lip as she glanced at the pregnancy tests. Lionel looked at her confused before she spoke.

“You remember the test that we took this morning?” Viola asked making Lionel nod his head as he moved towards his wife curiously.

The brunette licked her lips as she prepared to drop the bomb on him.

“It was a false negative…” she revealed making Lionel stared at her shocked at her words.

“False Negative?” Lionel asked as he stood next to her, Viola nodded before she looked down at the five positive tests; she grinned as she looked back at Lionel.

“Chris noticed I had some of the symptoms and forced me to take a couple more tests,” Viola said as she looked at Lionel, a grin forming on his face as he realised that he had actually succeeded in getting his wife pregnant.

Lionel pulled Viola into a hug as the weight of getting her pregnant was finally lifted from his shoulders; he closed his eyes as he thought of the child that Viola was carrying.

“We’re having a baby,” Lionel said relieved making Viola nod her head as she ran her fingers through his hair, she smiled as he held her close knowing that he could now focus completely on his career without having to worry about their parents complaining.

“I can’t believe we did it,” Lionel said as he pulled back from Viola, he kissed her cheek softly as he pressed a hand gently to her stomach; he knew there wouldn’t be a bump yet but it felt amazing knowing that there was a baby inside of her.

“I know… one less thing to worry about,” Viola said making Lionel nod, she loved seeing him this happy and it made her feel happy as well that she had been able to do this for him.

Lionel grinned completely unaware that this was the beginning of something new for the two of them.
