Of All People// Derek Luh

-3 Weeks Later-

Me and Derek were cuddling on the couch, watching Finding Nemo. I sat up feeling my stomach churn, "Fuck" I mumbled running up to the bathroom spilling my guts into the toilet, I sniffled wiping my mouth, flushing the toilet . All of a sudden I felt dizzy and tired, I shook it off walking back into the living room, Derek had his eyes glued on the tv, he looked over at me "You alright?"

I shrugged my shoulders sitting back in his lap, I shook my head trying to stay awake, I felt so tired . A few minutes into the movie, we were at the part where Marlin lost Nemo, I felt tears stream down my face, my lip quivered, I softly sobbed into my boyfriends chest .

"Babe... why are you crying?"

"Because he lost his son - it's sad" I sniffled before clearing my throat, I smiled, I felt fine .
"Honey, are you alright?" Derek looked at me weirdly, "Yeah I'm fine". I kissed his cheek lying my head on his bicep .

I began to get really bored, I groaned loud enough for Derek to hear, I stood up turning off the tv "What'd you go and do that for?!? I was getting into it" Derek exclaimed. I rolled my eyes walking up to him "Can we go to Target?" I questioned playing with his hair, "Sure, we need some things" Derek stood up following me upstairs, I grabbed a pair of jeans and a tank top.

I changed into the tank top, slipping on my jeans, I tried to fasten them but they wouldn't, I groaned continuing to try to button them . "Derek I think I'm getting fat" I whined looking at myself in the mirror, seeing that my boobs were a little bigger, they were sore and tender which was strange .
My ankles were swollen, my waist was a little more chubbier . "You're not fat, you're perfect" Derek wrapped his arms around me kissing my neck, he stood in front of me looking down my body and back up at me "Stop. Yes I know my boobs are a little bigger. I think something is wrong with me" I huffed looking in the mirror .

"What's the date?" Derek asked before he began to brush his teeth "March 5th" I replied looking at my phone.
I jumped feeling a hard smack across my ass, I glared at Derek as he gave me a smile "That fucking hurt" I rolled my eyes grabbing my phone, walking out to the car . I sighed frustratedly.

Have I told you that my hair started to grow back? it's almost to my shoulders .

I lied my head against the window, Derek got in the car, backing out of the driveway , I grabbed Dereks hand looking back out the window . "Can we get some pickles" I questioned turning my head to my boyfriend who's eyes were on the road .

"You hate pickles."

"Can we just get some pickles?!" I Snapped looking through my phone . "Yes" Derek said Turing Into the parking lot, parking close to the doors .

I got out, walking ahead of Derek, going to the pickles, grabbing a jar . "Anything else?"Derek asked setting the jar in the cart . "Cantaloupe"I replied walking down the isle "You hate that too" Derek mumbled under his breath but loud enough so I could hear him .

I gave him a glare setting the fruit in the cart, "Derek!" A few girls came running up to us, One girl had a donut in her hand, I looked at the donut, just by the look of it made me feel nauseous, luckily we were beside the bathroom, I quickly ran to the bathroom throwing up again . I groaned washing my mouth out walking out seeing Derek standing there with the cart full of our food .

"You alright?"

I nodded as we walked to the checkout line, I quickly ran to an isle grabbing a few things, I'm gonna pay for this, I'll meet you in the car" I kissed his lips watching him walk out of the store . I payed for my stuff before sticking them in my hoodie pocket, I sat down in the car buckling myself up looking through my phone .

Derek places his hand on my thigh, while the other one was on the steering wheel, I placed my hand over his letting out a sigh .

"Are you sure you're fine?"

Derek parked in the driveway turning off the car, "Yes" I faked a smile helping him bring in the groceries, setting them on the counter . I felt my boyfriends arms wrap around me, I smiled grabbing his hands giving his knuckles small pecks . "So.. what now?"

"Have a movie night?" I cocked an eyebrow, he played with my hair .

"Sure" he kissed my temple placing some popcorn in the microwave, I walked upstairs placing the things I bought in the bathroom, I sat on the toilet messaging Delany .

K: Del I'm terrified right now. I don't know what's been going on with me .

Del💖: what's the matter?

K: Is it normal for your period to be 3 weeks late? Also, I have been so tired lately, my boobs are bigger and sorer, I have gained some pounds, I've been eating foods I absolutely hate, and the foods I love make me sick .

I placed my phone on the bed, Derek walked in stuffing some popcorn in his mouth, he gave me a smile setting the bowl in the middle of us . I took a whiff of the popcorn, I rushed to the bathroom instantly throwing up again .

I flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth, walking back into the bedroom, Derek was almost through the popcorn.

My phone buzzed, he went to go grab it, I quickly rushed over grabbing it looking to fine a message from Delany .

Del💖: You might be pregnant.

K: what?!? I can't be

Del💖: All those things you told me are the symptoms of 0-12 weeks of pregnancy, your 3 weeks late... do you have any tests?

K: Yeah.. I uhm bought some earlier.

Del💖: Take a damn Test! I wanna know if I'm gonna be an aunt or not :')

I sighed softly looking over at Derek, he gave me a cheeky smile while stuffing some food in his mouth, "Uhm Babe?" I asked softly looking down at the sheets, scooting closer to him. "Yes my darling?" He giggled pecking my cheek .

"What do you think about a family? .. someday?"

He smiled from ear to ear "A family with you would be a wonderful thing, but not right now."

I nodded slowly walking into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me and locking it, I felt my heart beat start to speed up . I took a test and waited a few minutes, I sat on the toilet rubbing my face, feeling my whole body shake, sweating falling down my face .

The timer went off, I slowly grabbed it, looking down seeing the results.
