unexpected

baby?

Justice wasn't scared about the ultrasound but her stomach had been acting up and she was worried that something with the baby was wrong. After her shift at work Tye drove to the appointment. In the car, Justice was very quiet. "Justice are you ok?" Justice looked over at him and smiled gently, "I'm fine Tye, I'm just worried about the baby." Tye nodded and turned back to the road.

Once they'd arrived at the doctor's office, Justice had started to calm down. Tye came around and opened her door for her and held her hand as they walked in. "Justice", called the nurse shortly after they had entered the waiting room. "Justice my name is Dr. Connors, how are you feeling today?" "I've been feeling a little nauseous and dizzy at certain foods and smells." Dr. Connors just smiled and said, "this is normal, every pregnant woman has certain smells or foods that create a side effect such as dizziness or nausea."

Justice was starting to relax so Dr. Connors took that opportunity to start the ultrasound. "In a moment you will hear the heartbeat of your baby, are you ready?" Justice looked at Tye and nodded at the doc. Dr. Connors smiled and turned the volume on so they could hear. "Justice can you hear that?" Justice looked at the doctor smiled and nodded, "Ya I can hear it doc, Justice said with a huskiness to her voice as she looked over at Tye her eyes started to tear up. Tye thanked the doctor and held Justice until she could speak, "Tye how are we gonna raise this baby?" Tye Looked at her and said, "I don't know honey but we'll find a way."

Once they arrived home Justice couldn't wait to tell Cora and Ashlyn about the news. "Hey Cora, guess what?" "What, what's going on, you sound overly excited?" "I'm fine Cora, the baby is fine, can you believe it?" "Oh my god, congratulations Justice, have you told Ash yet?" "I'm calling her next, see you soon." Justice decided that she'd wait to tell Ashlyn at work the next day, Ash had been sleeping a lot and she didn't want to wake her.

"Hey Ash, what's up?" Ash just looked up at Justice and smiled a small smile, "Not much Justice, how'd the ultrasound go?" Justice grinned at her best friend and said, "It went great, Tye and I are so happy. Ash's jaw dropped, "Oh my god, congrats girl." She said with a huge smile on her face. The girls hugged and went back to work. Logan and Jackson were next in line for the information. They cornered Justice in the break room, "Do you have anything you want to tell us Justice?" Justice turned around startled, they had her cornered against the lockers, she had no place to go. "Well aren't you gonna tell us that Brandon knocked you up and you're passing the baby off as Tye's." "That's not what happened, Brandon never raped me, I would never sleep with him, or anyone else for that matter. Tye is the father of my baby. No one else." The guys looked at each other with a confused look, Jackson spoke up, "Baby, there really is a baby?" Justice nodded and walked off, pushing her way between the guys.

"What happened at work today, justice? I got calls from almost everybody with congratulations on the baby, who did you tell?" Justice shook her head and explained that she'd told Ashlyn, Cora, Logan and Jackson. Tye simply shook his head, "Why would you tell Logan and Jackson?" Justice took a deep breath and told him what had happened in the break room. Tye knew that she was close to tears, he wrapped her in a hug and cuddled with her on the couch until she stopped shaking. "Babe, no matter what I love you, in all honesty I don't care who you tell about the baby, I was just worried that the news would snowball and become something that neither of us wanted.

Ashlyn was feeling sick again and didn't know why, it turns out that her baby was very picky with what she ate, she decided that Justice being pregnant would understand and they could hang out and watch movies or something. "Hey Justice, do you work today?" Ash asked when Justice picked up the phone, "No Ash, why? Is something wrong?" "No, justice nothing's wrong, did you want to come over and hang out." Justice said she'd be right over and quickly changed and got ready. Just before she headed out she sent a quick text to Tye saying that she was headed to Ashlyn's and would be back later, she didn't want him to worry if he got home and she wasn't there.

Upon arriving at Ashlyn's place she realized that her friend was really showing. She was five and half months pregnant. She still looked radiant and beautiful. Even Blake hadn't started to complain, yet. These two girls spent the afternoon sitting on the couch watching chick flicks and eating pickles and ice cream, at some point Ashlyn and Justice fell asleep and it wasn't until Blake came home from his shift did the girls wake up. Blake offered to drive Justice home but she turned him down and told him she'd rather drive herself so that she had her car for the next day. Once she arrived home she found Tye asleep on the couch, he probably fell asleep waiting for her to get home. Justice silently walked over to him and gently shook him to wake him up. "Justice, what time is it?" "It's like 11, we've both gotta work tomorrow let's get some sleep babe." Tye agreed and they headed to bed.

The next morning she wakes up to the smell of homemade biscuits, biscuits were one of the few things she could still eat while she was pregnant, they didn't make her nauseous. "Tye, what are you doing up so early?" called Justice as she walked into the kitchen. "I thought I'd make breakfast babe, I know how much you love these." He said as me motioned towards the biscuits cooling on the counter. Justice smiled at him and walked closer, but Tye met her halfway and lifted her into the air and sat her down on the counter where he kissed her and then went back to the stove to continue making breakfast.

Justice loved the times when it was just her and Tye for a whole day. When they could just hang out, watch movies and talk about anything they wanted. When they both had the day off, they would cuddle up on the couch or in bed and read or just listen to music. The night before Tye had gone out and brought back a ton of new books they could read together and even some kids' books they could read to the babies when they got restless. In truth Justice knew that she couldn't have picked a better guy to have kids with. Tye was so cautious and calm even when she was freaking out of having a moment. She knew from talking to Ashlyn that this was normal considering that Ash was 6 months along and Justice was 4 months along.

Blake and Tye were both on break when Blake spoke up, "Hey Tye, have you proposed yet?' "What do you mean Blake?" Blake looked at Tye and said, "Well, Ashlyn's 6 months pregnant and we're not engaged much less married yet, I was thinking that I should ask. I mean I love her and she loves me, I just think that my son should have a father and Ashlyn deserves a husband that will be there for her no matter what." Tye nodded and pulled a small box from his jacket pocket, "I was thinking I'd do it tonight at dinner, I mean after all she's the only girl I've ever been able to connect with on every level. She needs me and I need her, I want to make it official." Blake slapped him on the back and wished him luck before they got back to work. Ashlyn was working that day and when she went on break Blake intercepted her at the service desk and over the intercom he got down on one knee, looked Ashlyn in the eyes and said "Ashlyn Ridge will you marry me?" Ashlyn was taken by surprise but didn't even have to think about her answer, "Yes Blake I'll marry you." They hugged and shared a passionate kiss before Blake slipped the ring on her finger and they headed to the break room for lunch.

Later that night, Tye took Justice out to dinner at this really fancy Italian restaurant; Italian was one of the only international cuisines that her babies actually accepted. Tye knew this and also remembered that it was her favorite international dishes. When desert came Tye waited until the waiter had left their table before getting down on one knee and asking the question he's wanting to ask for the last 5 months even before they'd shared that very special, unplanned night together, and way before the babies happened. Tye knew that he'd found his true love and he wanted to make it official; he wanted to make a promise. "Justice Drake I promise to love you forever and always, to protect you and comfort you. I will make your life as comfortable as possible and do anything for you and our babies. You will never be alone in this world and I want you to wear this promise, will you marry me?" Justice was surprised and after a long moment she said...
