Melissa walked onto the set, hand-in-hand with Chris, with the two girls following them. Amelia and Leah and were laughing about some random joke Amelia had made. They all walk into Melissa and Chris's trailer and the girls set their play bags on the couch.
"Mommy, can we go say hi to Auntie Chyler?" Amelia asks her mother.
"Yeah, tell Auntie Chy I say hi," Melissa says. Both girls smile, excited to see their aunt, and leave. The girls had become very accustomed to life on set and know almost everyone here. They knew where everyone's trailer was and what to do if they were to get lost.
Right as the girls leave as if on queue, Melissa begins to feel nauseous. She had been having this consistent feeling almost every day for the past month. She didn't really know what to think of this. She initially just thought it was just a stomach bug but now she's beginning to think it's something else.
"Mel, are you feeling okay?" Chris asks, concerned about his wife's change in stance.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm just a little nauseous." Melissa says, taking a deep breath.
"It's probably from not eating this morning," Chris says, walking over to the counter. "You really do need to eat something before we start."
"You're starting to sound like my mother," Melissa says, laughing. Suddenly, a tingling sensation appeared in her throat. A tingling sensation she had become all too familiar with over the past couple of weeks. She immediately stops laughing and sprints to the bathroom. Lifting up the toilet seat, she spills out the remains of her stomach. Chris rushes over to her and pulls her hair back. Once she feels like she done, Melissa backs up from the toilet and sits against the wall.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chris asks.
"Um, well, I'm hungrier now, if that was even possible, but I'll be okay," Melissa explains.
"Mel, I didn't ask if you were hungry," Chris responds in a stern tone.
"I don't know okay? This has been me almost every day this month." Melissa explains.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Chris asks.
"You're always leaving early in the morning for work and I didn't want to worry you with my problems," Melissa says, pushing hair away from her face.
"Melissa, you are more important to me than work could ever be. When I married you, I said I would put up with all your problems, this being one." Chris explains, gently. "You said this had been going on almost every day this month?" Chris asks, suddenly realizing something.
"Yeah, right about this time too." Melissa sighs.
"When was the last time you..." Chris trails off, not quite sure how to ask the question. It took Melissa a minute to figure out what he was trying to ask.
"Oh, crap."
...
"Hey Chy, thank you so much for watching them," Melissa says, walking up to her best friend. She picks up Amelia and twirls her around. The young girl giggles hysterically and spreads her arms out to pretend she's flying.
"No problem, I'd do anything for my favorite girls," Chyler says, giving Leah on finale hug goodbye. Melissa had stopped spinning Amelia and the young blonde wrapped her arms around her mother's neck.
"Alright girls, let's go. Mommy's hungry and we have to run to the store for some stuff." Melissa explains, trying to be as vague as she can. They all wave goodbye to a Chyler before walking to Melissa's car. Chris and Melissa get the girls strapped in before getting in themselves and driving off.
The first place the group stops is McDonald's to grab a quick sandwich since everyone was hungry. After that, they go to the drug store. Chris pulls up and parks.
"I can run in and grab it. You guys can stay in here." Melissa says opening her door. Chris nods, unlocking Melissa's door.
"Mommy, can I come with you?" Amelia asks from the back seat. Melissa sighs before answering.
"Sure, come on sweetheart," Melissa says, opening Amelia's door. Amelia jumps out and grabs Melissa's hand. The two walk into the drug store and Melissa walks straight to the aisle that has what she needs in it. When they get there, Melissa is astounded by the number of tests they have.
"Why are there so many?" Melissa asks under her breath.
"Mom, what's a pageantcy test?" Amelia asks. Melissa chuckles quietly at her daughter's innocence.
"It's a pregnancy test and it's going to tell Dad and I if you'll be a big sister again," Melissa explains.
"Huh?" Amelia asks, not understanding what her mom was trying to say.
"You'll find out soon baby, I promise," Melissa responds, finally decided on a test. She grabs Amelia's hand once again and the two walk up to the cash register. Melissa quickly pays for the test and they both walk out of the store. Melissa helps Amelia into the car before getting in herself.
...
"Now we just have to wait two minutes," Melissa says, setting the stick on the bathroom sink. Melissa begins fidgeting with her hands, a nervous habit she had. She was extremely nervous about the answer the stick would give them. Noticing how nervous Melissa was, Chris grabs her hands, causing her to look up at him.
"Whatever it says, just know we will make it through. Everything will be okay." Chris explains gently. Melissa nods glancing at the test.
"This is the longest two minutes of my life," Melissa says, causing Chris to smile at her. The two sit in silence before the timer Chris set goes off. He quickly shuts it off before turning to Melissa.
"You ready?" He asks. Melissa nods, still slightly nervous.
"Can you tell me what it says?" Melissa asks. Chris nods and goes to look at the test.
"It's..."
