Unexpected

You're my haven in life.

It was half past 5 when Klara's eyes unexpectedly sprung open. She hadn't been sleeping well so she was understandably pissed off when she saw the time. She trudged down the stairs in search of coffee.

She still didn't know what to expect in the future with being pregnant but she refused to mope around in bed any longer. The blood test at the doctor's office the day before gave her the motivation not to be a sad lump. She wasn't just living for herself anymore.

She wasn't surprised to see her dad sitting at the table with toast and his newspaper. As much as she enjoyed her career and traveling it was the little things like this she missed the most when she was gone. She always had a healthy relationship with both of her parents and she missed the talks they had when she was gone.

Ethan smiled when he saw Klara awake and walking into the kitchen.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Wasn't expecting you to be up before the sun. There's coffee in the pot." Ethan smiled.

"Good morning, daddio. I wasn't expecting to be either." Klara laughed as she put her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the cheek.

She dug around in the cabinet for her favorite coffee cup, fixed her coffee and sat at the table with Ethan.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Ethan inquired.

"I'm fine. No morning sickness or anything yet. I wouldn't even have guessed until mom figured it out." Klara replied.

"That's your mom's intuition. It's scary sometimes." Ethan laughed.

"You seem to be taking this pretty well, dad. I know this is pretty unexpected to say the least." Klara mumbled.

"Unexpected but nothing to be upset about. Me and your mom are both pretty excited about being grandparents. But-" Ethan started.

"But have I told Ville yet, right?"

"You know me too well. You have to tell him sooner rather than later, Klara. The baby is his too regardless of how you think it will be a change to his life." Ethan pointed out.

"I know, dad. I plan on calling him today." Klara answered, biting her nails.

She didn't know how that phone call would go in the slightest. She's been ignoring him for two weeks. She had no idea what state he'd be in at this point.

"Probably pissed." She thought to herself.

"What are your plans for the day?" Ethan asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"I'm going to go for a walk and watch the sun rise. I'll probably go get some breakfast and come home and take a nap after that." Klara replied.

"Sounds like an excellent plan. Be careful and dress warm. It's supposed to be a windy one today, my dear." Ethan smirked.

"Ok, daddio. I'll see you later this afternoon." She said, giving him another kiss on the cheek.

Klara hurriedly pulled on boots and a jacket, pulled her hair back and started the hike to the nearest hill to watch the sun rise. She hadn't been home to do this for some time but it was one of her favorite things to do growing up. Especially on a crisp fall morning like it was.

She sat on a blanket on the hill and thought about how different her life was about to become. She didn't look anywhere close to pregnant at the moment but she knew soon enough that would change as well. She thought back to when she was a child herself, and how that didn't seem like that long ago.

She knew her parents wouldn't be upset with her over this, they weren't really the sorts to fly off the handle but she didn't expect them to take it as graciously as they have either. She was never apposed to children but she never thought about them before this either.
