Call Me Chase

Chapter 5

Chase's POV:

After getting to the house mom went inside and I walked next door to Drew's house. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
*knock knock knock*
I heard a can fall over onto the floor and i took a deep breath as i heard his footsteps move closer to the door. I contemplated just running off and going to the park or something until i was ready to tell him but I figured right now is as ready as I can ever be. He opened the door and his face lit up
"You're home!! What did the doctor say?? Wait no don't tell me lets go inside!" He seemed excited, but i kept second guessing myself. Maybe it was just for show. I took another deep breath and followed him into the living room. He sat on the sofa and i sat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.
"So.. what did the doc say?" He looked over at me and i took a deep breath.
"We are 6 weeks pregnant..." i closed my eyes and braced myself for things to get dramatic
"We are?! WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!" He jumped off the couch and started dancing around. I felt the pressure release from my chest.
"Are you sure youre ready for this? You don't have to pretend-" he stopped me mid-sentence
"Excuse me sir do you expect me to be upset that im starting a family with the man i want to spend the rest of my life with? Because im not upset, i feel blessed. This is going to be hella hard but we can do this shit!" He was still dancing around the kitchen and i remembered what my mom told me.
"Hey babe.. can i stay over today? My mom told me not to go home..."
"What?! Of course you can you can sleep in one of my shirts tonight. Dont worry youre mom just needs time to process. We will tell my mom tonight at dinner. Shes bringing home pizza" i got off the couch and hugged him tight.
"Drew I'm terrified"
I started to cry and he hugged me tighter. Kissing the top of my head.
"Dont be scared Chase, we are in this together no matter what happens. Okay?" He moved back and picked up my chin and looked me in the eyes "I'm all in babe, youre stuck with me and this little guy in here" he crouched down and put his hands on my stomach. "Hey little buddy its Daddy. Im so excited to meet you." He kissed my belly and stood back up. I hugged him and continued crying
"I am so lucky to have you in my life Drew" we sat back down on the sofa and i put my head back on his shoulder. "No Chase, I'm the lucky one. I have a wonderful boyfriend and a precious little one on the way. And i just can't wait until i can give you my last name, then we can be Mr and Mr Wilcox and Baby Wilcox" i smiled at him, usually that day seemed out of reach but right now it seemed so close. "I cant wait Drew" i kissed his shoulder and started to relax but i still felt tense thinking of my mother's reaction.
"So when will we know the gender?"
He looked at me.
"Well we can find out at 18 weeks, aka 4 months, but Drew... i kind of want to wait and have a reveal party? Maybe at 7 or 8 months we will have the party?" Drew nodded and then paused
"Gender reveal at 6 months and baby shower at 8??" He looked at me like an excited puppy and i smiled
"Deal"

I decided to take a nap before Drew's mom got home. It's been a long day and its probably going to be a long night. Still I cant help but feel so relieved that Drew's happy..
