The Unexpected

2- Is This Real?!

*2 years later*
Mae is now 2 years old and so happy and outgoing. She loves to run and skip around and loves to play outside. I'm making her breakfast as she watches TV in the living room. Erik is off at work so it's just me and her. "Mae, sweetheart, breakfast!" I call out to her and she comes running in to eat. She sits on her chair as I place her pancakes in front of her. I sit down next to her. I don't feel that hungry this morning. If anything I feel a bit nauseous. I sit at the table with her and talk about what we could do today. "Mama, can I go swimming?" She asks. I nod. "Go get me your bathing suit and I help you get changed" I say in a sweet tone. She finishes up her breakfast and runs upstairs to fetch her bathing suit. I then get a text from erik. I read the text and smile to myself. It read: thinking about you! Hope everything is going well at home! I love you! I reply with: thinking of you too! Mae and I are going to go swimming even tho I feel a bit nauseous.
Seconds later Mae runs to me with her bathing suit and help her put it on. I grab a towel for both of us and get changed as well. I put on her floaters and we both go in the pool. We play for a little while till I get super nauseous now. I don't think I'm sick. I just feel nauseous. Mae can tell something is wrong with me. "What's wrong mama?" She asks me with a pouting face. I nod and say "yeah, mama just feels a bit sick." She pouts and hugs me. I hug her back. She is the sweetest and cares so much. We both get out of the pool, dry off, and get dressed. I take Mae up for her nap and I go lay on the couch and close my eyes. My stomach is all that's on my mind. What is wrong with me? I break into tears. I'm scared. I call Erik up. Then it goes to voicemail. Shit he is at work... I forgot. I don't know who to call. Then the sensation comes. I get up quickly run to the bathroom and puke. I've never felt like this before. If I still feel this way tomorrow... I'll call the doctor and make an appointment. It then occurs to me.... am I pregnant?!

*hours pass*
It's now 10 pm. After throwing up, I began to feel better. There is a knock at the door and I go answer it. It was erik. I hug him tight and break down in his arms. "I threw up today.... do u think I'm pregnant...." I cry in his shoulder. "Let's take a test and see..." He hands me a test. I go in the bathroom and take it  and wait 5 mins. We both go back in and check the test after waiting...... we flip it over and  it read..... positive.....
