the two lines can only mean one thing.
or it's a mistake. it has to be a mistake.
we've been so careful. what could have happened?
colby's going to freak out. just like i am right now.
he said just a few days ago he doesn't know if he wants this right now, or for a long time.
what if i have to leave? what if he doesn't help? what if i'm just on my own with this?
i grab the other stick. of course i bought two, just to make sure. you never know.
and the results are the same. two lines. two lines that decide the rest of my life and his.
there's only one thing to do with it now.
tell him.
i call colby to ask him to dinner. i think that would be the best time to do it.
"hey colby"
"hey babe! i haven't heard your voice all day! i miss you! do you want to do something tonight?" he chirps back.
"that's exactly what i was going to call about. maybe that cool chinese place with the waterfall?"
"you know me so well. of course! i'll pick you up at 7"
"okay baby. see you later. i love you."
"i love you too y/n"
i hang up the phone. 7 means only two hours to decide what i'm going to do and how. he should be the first to know right? or should i tell someone else first?
no. he needs to know first. he has to. and then i decide where to go with this.
i decide i may as well get ready to keep my mind off of this.
but doing my makeup and hair, it's all that i can think of.
will he be happy? upset? disappointed? mad?
i don't know.
and that's the scariest part.
around 6:30 i get a text from colby. letting me know he's on his way. while i technically live with him, since i sleep at his house almost every night, i still have my own apartment too. i don't know what will happen because of this.
i hear a knock on my door and open to see colby holding roses.
"oh colbs. you didn't have to!" i giggle.
"of course i did" he smiled, and bent down to kiss me on the cheek.
he laced our fingers together as we walked to his car. the ride to the restaurant was normal. normal chatter about our days and other random stuff.
when we get to the restaurant, we sit down in a booth and start looking over the menu. we talk normally and nothing seems different. except my heart is racing at a thousand miles per hour.
our food comes and now is the time. i have to.
"colby?" i barely get the words out.
"what's up?" he replies.
i cant bring myself to say the words, not knowing how he'll react, so i just hand him the evidence. which i cleaned, i'm not that gross.
it takes him a minute to understand but once he does, his eyes grow wide.
"y/n this isn't real" he whispers.
all i do is nod my head.
he just sits for a moment in shock before completely losing it. in a good way.
"are you being for real?" he laughs.
as my eyes start to fill with tears, i start laughing along with him nodding my head.
"oh my god" he almost yells. "OH MY GOD" he actually yells while jumping up out of his seat.
people start to look at him but he doesn't care.
"i'm gonna be a father!" he screams while jumping up and down.
i jump out of my chair and wrap my arms around him as he picks me up and holds me close. people around us are clapping. tears flood both of our eyes.
this is the happiest i've ever been.
