Blind Eyes That See

Chapter 9

Elani's pov

This can't be happening right now. It just can't. I'm not ready. What if I'm a horrible mom? I'm not ready to take on such a huge responsibility. How am I going to tell Aden? He's going to freak out. Why does this have to happen now. Out of all the things that could happen why this?

All of these thoughts just kept replaying in my head during the walk from Ruth's house to the apartment I shared with Aden. I loved our little apartment. It was perfect to us it wasn't too big but it also wasn't too small. The neighborhood was decent too. We got it a year after everything that happened that summer with Levi. God I'm so grateful that Aden made a full recovery from what Levi had done to him. If I had lost him I don't know what I would ever do. The anxiety built up every step closer to our apartment.Okay. Breath. Elani. Breathe. Everything is going to be okay. Hopefully. I unlocked the door and everything seemed to be in order.

"Aden... Baby you home"

"Yeah just in our room"

As I settled my things down I heard his footsteps approaching the living room and he was soon behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a kiss on my cheek and I turned around to peck his lips.

"I've missed you so much"

" I was only gone for a couple of hours" I chuckled

" I still missed you" he retorted as he gave me another kiss

"Aden..." I stepped out of his embrace and started pacing around our living room

"What's wrong elani?" I could hear the worry in his tone

"I..." Oh shit why am I choking up.

"Elani..."

That's it that's all it took for me to collapse on the floor and start bawling. Ugh what is wrong with me? It must be the pregnancy hormones or something. I officially don't like being pregnant. Aden was soon by my side hugging me and comforting me.

" Shhhh... It's gonna be okay.. Shhh"

" No it's not.. Aden... I'm pregnant" I managed to choke out as I continued to keep sobbing

I looked over at him and I could see the pure shock on his face. His eyes went wide and his mouth was wide open. This is just horrible.

"That's amazing elani"

"Wait what?" I sniffled

"I'm gonna be a dad"

"Wait you're not mad or angry?"

"No of course not why would I ever be"

"So you want to have the baby?"

"What kind of a question is that" he was rubbing my tummy now

" I can't wait to meet you" he whispered

"I love you elani" he breathed as he kissed my lips

"I love you more Aden" I insisted

"Oh but you can't. It's not possible."

"Well I just made it possible" I giggled

The rest of night just consisted of us cuddling up on the couch, watching movies, planning out our future with the baby, and talking just about anything in general.Little things like this just make me realize how much I truly love Aden and I don't think I could ever think of a better person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with.Although my career may have just been ruined I can worry about that later right now I'm focused on my own little family.
