Forever Yours

Chapter 31

Angelica's POV
I sat on the bed in the hotel room, staring at the pregnancy test. I still couldn't believe it.

Nathaniel had talked me into going to the pool for a bit so here I was, sitting in my bathing suit. "Ready to go?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I snapped out of my trance and stood up, slipping my flip flops on.

We held hands as we walked down to the indoor pool since it was late out. I stepped into the hot tub, the warm water relaxing my muscles.

Nathaniel joined me. He laid back on the wall and sighed in relief. "This feels so good."

"Yeah I guess." I splashed the water a little.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just." I paused. "I'm not cut out to be a mom. I never had a mom growing up so I don't even know how to be one." I sighed.

"Angelica listen. You're only a week pregnant. We don't have to worry right now. You are going to be an amazing mother. Okay?" He put a hand on my cheek.

"Okay." Nathaniel kissed my forehead. He placed a hand on my stomach. "I love you."

"I love you too." I layed my head on his shoulder, placing my hand over top of his. "I'm gonna wear your sweatshirts a lot. I'll have to hide the bump for a while once I start showing."

"That's fine with me. You look cute in my clothes." I laughed.

"Nathaniel do you even want a kid?"

"Yes. I've always wanted kids. It just seems we're getting one early." Nathaniel said.

"I won't get to go to prom with you. I'll be too pregnant."

"But just think about how goregous you'll look in all the photos. It's my junior prom. Baby you gotta come."

"Okay okay. I guess I'll come. But that's nine months away so we don't have to worry about it right now." I smiled.

"You'll get to go to prom 3 times. My junior prom, my senior prom which is also your junior prom, and your senior prom."

"Uncle Herc will be happy. He'll get to make lots of dresses!" I laughed so did Nathaniel.

"See, we're gonna be fine." He flashed his signature smile at me.

~Back in the room~

Alex's POV
I was currently on the phone with Eliza.

"Liz, shut up for moment will you. Let the man speak." Maria chimed in.

"Sorry. What did you call for Alex?" Eliza spoke.

"So this trip just took a major turn. Angelica's pregnant."

"I'm sorry what?!" Eliza was shocked. "Oh my god it's Nathaniel's isn't it?" I nodded. "Have you told the rest of the group? Peggy and Angelica and their families are all together right now."

"No but I'll do that now. Bye Liza." We both waved and I hung up the phone.

Time to call the woman whom my daughter is named after and the woman who birthed her.

"Hey Alex!" Peggy smiled brightly.

"Hi Uncle Alex!" I could hear all the kids call. I saw Thomas and Angie off to the side.

"Hey guys. Umm. Do I have your attention for bit?" He asked, biting his lip.

"Yeah totally. What's up?" Sally answered.

"So we found out today that Angelica's pregnant...."

"She's what? You're joking right?" Angelica asked with wide eyes.
