are you pregnant?

you sat on the toilet with your head in your hands looking at the positive pregnancy test on your lap.

"fuck" you mumbled to yourself.

you didn't know what happened. you and dan always used protection. except that one time when you guys were drunk.

"fuck how can we be so stupid?" you whispered to no one.

i guess i have some news for dan when he gets home. you thought.

you decided to keep it a secret for a while, throwing the test away in the bathroom garbage.

you didn't want to tell anyone until you were 100% sure so you were gonna go to the doctor the next week to get professional tests done.

~time skip~
you were laying in your shared bed with dan while he was in the bathroom having a shower.

"babe?" he called from behind the closed door.

"what's up?" you asked while getting up.

"what's this?" he questioned while walking out with the pregnancy test in his hand.

your heart stopped. you stood there, in front of your boyfriend who only wore a towel around his hips, sputtering and stuttering trying to find the words to explain the test in his hands.

"baby, are....are you...pregnant?" he asked carefully.

your eyes welled up with tears as you nodded your head slowly.

he walked forward picking you up and pulling you close to him.

"why were you trying to hide it sweetheart?" he whispered in your ear.

"because...i didn't want you to be mad so i was trying to buy some time to decide if i wanted to keep it or not" you explained while sobbing into his shoulder.

"hey, baby, i would never be mad at you for that. i'm so happy you're pregnant princess, we're going to have a baby together. i'm going to raise our baby with you. i'll be right here the whole time" he said soothingly.

"i'm sorry dan" you whimpered.

"sorry for what princess?" he asked while laying you down in bed.

"i messed up your career. we're having a kid dan. you're gonna be on tour. how can you balance having a kid and being on tour?" you cried into your pillow.

"shhh baby it's okay we'll figure it out. right now my main focus is you and our baby." he said while rubbing your back.

you felt the bed rise beside you and you looked up to see dan slipping on a pair of sweatpants. he walked back over to you and kneeled beside the bed so he was level with your stomach.

you sniffled slightly while running your fingers through his hair.

"hi," he spoke to your belly, "so i'm your daddy. i can't wait until you're born. i don't care if you're a boy or a girl. i just want you to know that i love you so so much and i always will. you will be the product of me and the woman i love and that makes me the happiest man on earth. i didn't except to have one of you running around for a couple more years but now that it's happening, i'm so excited to see you. i'll always protect you and your mommy no matter what. oh and please don't cause your mommy too much pain for the next nine months. she really doesn't deserve it" he spoke softly while smiling up at you.

you had tears in your eyes. happy tears of course. you were having a kid with the love of your life.

you pulled dan up to your level and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

"i love you so so much dan" you mumbled against his lips.

"i love you too princess. but let's get some sleep. you've had an emotional day" he said while climbing into bed next to you and pulling the blankets over you.

"mmm, goodnight dan" you said while starting to fall asleep.

"goodnight princess" he replied while kissing your forehead.
