The First Times

First Pregnancy

~Fast forward another year.~

"Ana? Honey, are you alright in there?" Benny knocked on the bathroom's door, slightly worried. He had arrived from work and Ana had yelled at him she was in the bathroom, but that had been fifteen minutes ago. Now, he wanted to know what's wrong.

"Oh my gods..." He heard the mumbled reply from inside. He had half in mind to barge in, but decided against it. Though caution flew out the window when he heard his wife crying. "Oh gods!"

"Ana, I'm coming in!" Benny opened the unlocked door- that wasn't locked in the first place -to fins his wife knelt next to the toilet while crying.

Oh, and she was surrounded by lots of pink sticks.

Ana looked up and saw Benny's shocked face. She was very emotional to realize that she had worried him and that the image she was giving him, with the tears and knelt by the toilet, was not the best one, but she couldn't care less now. She just needed to hug him and hear that everything was going to be alright for them.

Which is exactly what happened afterwards.

"Do you want to tell everyone?" She mumbled in his chest, trying to understand how things were going to change now.

"This is one thing we can't keep secret, Ana..." Benny chuckled a little and Ana chuckled along when realizing why he said so. "Your folks need to know, they are the most qualified for this job..."

"There should be a no-hovering rule over me!" She warned him with a smile and Benny nodded, kissing her forehead and taking her to bed.

A few weeks passed afterwards and finally Ana and Benny had their chance to talk to Nico and Will in their monthly dinner. Both set were excited for this dinner, Ana and Benny because of the news they were about to share and Nico and Will because they haven't seen their little girl in a month. The second the bell was rang, Will opened the door to the not-so newly married couple.

"Ana, Benny! Welcome!" He greeted them, inviting them in. They both walked in, slightly nervous about this whole idea, but happy. "My gods, Ana, you look more radiant than last time I saw you!" Ana blushed under that compliment, just in time to be greeted by Nico.

"Hi, Papà." She hugged him tight and Nico started to suspect something was wrong. However, he kept quiet for the moment. "Um, would you guys mind to sit down, we have to tell you something..." Both Will and Nico shared a glance and did as asked.

"Hope is not bad news, Principessa..." Will tried to joke with the mood, pointing at his hair. "You may not tell, but I'm getting grey hairs already..."

"Oh, you might get a few ones more..." Benny mumbled, peeking the curiosity on the elder couple.

"Alright, I'll bite." Nico stated, crossing his arms. "What is it what you guys have to tell us?"

"Daddy, Papà... I'm pregnant."

Nico heard the news and was literally stunned in his place. However, in his mind, he had jumped over the coffee table and grabbed Benny by the neck, throttling him and shouting at how he dared corrupt and make an un-pure woman of his little Principessa. In this vision of his, Ana was crying in despair because of being un-pure and Will was comforting her, mumbling about murder.

Will did react to the news. And when he did, was loud and slightly expected. He began crying and shouting in delight, nothing, hugging the young couple tight to him. Though, a couple of minutes later, he collapsed on the couch as if he had been handled the weight of the world. His face turned from bright to pale in matter of seconds and only the gods knew what was he thinking about.

"I'm gonna be a grandfather..." Will began saying, losing his enthusiasm while saying it. "Oh, I'm gonna be a grandfather, you know what this means??" By then, he had grabbed Benny by the shoulders and shook him slightly. A little terrified, Benny shook his head when hearing that question. "Means you get to tell my father! Ha! The man is a great-grandfather!" Afterward, Will started to laugh with mirth.

"Um, Papà...?" Ana called Nico, who hadn't said anything during Will's celebration rant. Nico slowly saw Ana's worried face and smiled at her. "You alright? Maybe I shouldn't-"

"I'm perfectly fine, though I'll admit I'm really shocked." Nico admitted, finally hugging Ana close to him. Ana relaxed and hugged him back, all the tension and fear of telling them gone. "You'll be alright, Principessa... We're here for you..."

"Thank you, Papà..." Ana thanked him, before pulling back and smile at him. Nico smiled back and pulled his hand out for Benny, who shock it tight.

"I hope you guys know we're both here to help any time..."

"Thanks, sir." Benny replied, un-tensioning himself. Ana wrapped an arm around his and leaned on his shoulder.

"Well, this is great news and probably will take the whole conversation at dinner!" Will announced, getting up from the couch where he had collapsed. "I'll try to leave 'Dr. Solace' out the table but there's one thing I cannot help to know..." He eyed the young ones, inquisitively. So much, Ana was feeling a bit uncomfortable. "What kind of foods do you hate now?"

"Oh, um..." Ana blinked in surprise, not actually expecting that.

"Easy there, Solace..." Nico saved her, smirking. "Either she'll frown or rush to the bathroom, so don't worry..." Will seemed satisfied while Benny turned to Ana, looking slightly worried.

"Why do I feel I walked into the Wolf's Den?" Ana giggles and shrugged.

"You decided to tell my doctor parents."

"Touché, my dear. Touché."

Good morning/afternoon/evening!

How are you? I'm great, thanks for asking. The past week has been busy rejoining work after a two-week holiday with my family... I have to admit that the road-trip didn't go as planned but we had fun anyway. I know many of you are just walking into spring and Spring Break (if you didn't have it yet), so... have fun!

Today, the last Sunday of March, is a bittersweet day for me. Why? After a lot of thought, I decided to post the final 7 chapters of The First Times TOGETHER. That means that after today, there won't be more updates. I apologize to the readers of Saving Time - A Caleo Story as I couldn't finish the chapter yet, but since it will be my priority from now on till mid-May, I'll make it up to you all!

So, with a tear in our eyes, let's proceed...

The First Times: the final seven chapters... I appreciate and love every single one of the comments, the likes and follows this story had and will continue to have. It was an emotional rollercoaster at times, but I loved it as much you did, I hope.

We'll see each other next weekend!
