Lexi's POV
"Is Sam still upset with Wyatt?" Ethan asked me over the phone as he sat in the airport waiting for his flight home tonight.
"Yes she is, and it's only been like two weeks since Emma's party when that happened. She's gonna need time." I stated as Emma watched 'Tangled' just a few feet away in the living room, but I supervised from the kitchen.
"I guess... well we can forgive him right?" He asked, causing me to laugh quietly.
"Ethan, we can do whatever we want. We don't have to do whatever Sam or Grayson do." I told him, leaning against the counter.
"You're right." He laughed.
"You should probably go get in line to board your flight." I suggested, sighing, since we'd already been on the phone for about half an hour.
"Okay. I'll text you when I'm on my way." He said.
"Alright, sounds good, see you in a few hours. I love you." I said quietly with a smile.
"I love you more babygirl. Bye." He told me, before hanging up.
"When is daddy coming?" Emma asked, walking over and leaning against my right leg. I bent down and picked her up.
"Tonight Em." I smiled. Her face lit up, excited to see her dad after almost a week and a half. Following her excitement came a yawn.
"I think it's someone's bedtime..." I said, running my hand that wasn't holding her up through her brown hair.
"I wanna see daddy..." She pouted.
"How about I wake you up when he gets home? But for now you can go to bed." I suggested, walking past the front door and up the stairs.
"Okay." She said quietly. We went into her room and I picked out pajamas and got her into them, and getting her into bed.
"Goodnight sweetie." I said, kissing her forehead and pulling the blankets over her.
"Goodnight mommy." She said giggling.
"I'll see you in a few hours." I winked, before walking out her door, leaving it open a crack. I walked back downstairs and took out a paper from my purse that I needed to show Ethan when he got home. God, Emma is growing up so fast... we went to the doctor's today for her check up. It felt like yesterday when I found out I was pregnant with her.
FLASHBACK
"Lexi, the test shows that you...are pregnant." She said.
"Thank you." I said smiling. I got up and walked down the hall, to see Sammy coming out of her room. She saw me, her face dropped. I walked faster.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I, um, I can't have kids." She said, her voice shaky. "Are you really pregnant?" She asked, looking hopeful.
I nodded, smiling a bit. "I'm gonna call Ethan, I'll be back, ok?" I said, as she sat down on the curb outside the hospital. I walked a little farther down and sat on the curb. I dialed his number.
"Ethan?" I asked, hearing him breathing.
"Hey babygirl." He said.
"I'm sorry about yesterday."
"So you're really pregnant?" He asked quietly.
"We just left the hospital...Ethan, you're gonna be a dad." I said, starting to cry.
"That's amazing. Baby, I'm not gonna leave you. I love you too much to do that." He said, and I could tell he was smiling through the phone.
"I was really scared to tell you yesterday cause I thought you were gonna leave me. I need you." I said.
"I need you too, babygirl." Ethan said.
END OF FLASHBACK
And since then it's been three years... it's honestly insane to think about. My phone ringing interrupted me from my thoughts. I pulled it out of my back pocket and saw that Wyatt was calling.
"Hello?" I answered, pressing the cool glass screen of my phone to my ear.
"Hey Lexi."
"Hi Wyatt."
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Okay, what is it?" I was confused on what this could be.
"Is Sam still mad at me?" He sighed.
"I don't know... I think she just needs some space. And some time." I told him honestly.
"I just want to get close to her again... for all of us to get close again, like the good old days."
"I do too. You know you can come over anytime. Ethan and I miss you Wyatt."
"Really?"
"Yeah. We were best friends, you and I, for so many years, then you and Ethan became friends ironically." I chuckled. Wyatt and I talked for awhile, until my phone vibrated. I took the phone away from my ear to read the text message.
11:39 pm
Ethan Dolan: i'm almost home ...
I put the phone back to my ear.
"I gotta go Wyatt. Ethan's on his way home from the airport!" I excitedly said.
"Alright, it was great talking to you Lexi." He sighed.
"Yes, it was. I'll text you sometime this week and maybe we can all get together, you, Sam, Gray, Ethan, and I." I informed him, before we said goodbye and hung up. I stood up from the couch and walked to the mirror, fixing my hair and putting on a quick swipe of nude lipstick I had nearby in my purse. I ran to the laundry room and found my clean floral dress, that just so happened to hit at fingertips' length. I tightened the thin narrow straps on it and looked in the bathroom mirror. I held the paper in my hand, nervously biting my lip.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...
I took a deep breath and set the paper down on the kitchen table. I stood in the front hall, quite a few feet from the door, until the doorknob turned and the door swung open, revealing my tired-looking husband. He let go of the suitcase he was holding and walked into the house, picking me up in a tight hug.
"Hi." I whispered, my arms wrapped around him, my feet dangling a few inches off the floor.
"I missed you so much..." He set me down, one of his hands resting on the back of my neck, the other finding it's way to my lower back, pulling me close as we kissed. I pulled away out of breath as I looked into his eyes.
"I have something for you." I said, pulling him to the kitchen and handing him the paper that was folded neatly in thirds. He opened it and I stood in front of him, anxiously waiting.
"What is this?" He asked after a moment of reading. I looked down at the paper, the logo of the doctor's office in the top corner, followed by various codes and numbers and a long paragraph.
"Ethan..." I said, removing the paper from his hands and taking his large hands in mine.
"Lexi..." He mimicked, looking at me concerned.
"I'm pregnant." I smiled. A wave of relief fell over him and happiness took over.
"You're pregnant?" He whispered, holding my hands tightly, a smile plastered across his face. I nodded.
"Oh my god I'm so happy..." He said, looking as if he was about to cry, placing a hand lightly on my stomach.
"I love you so much babygirl." He said, hugging me again, but this time, more gently.
