•I'm Not Crying•

{•Unedited•}
                          ~Ever's POV~
 
          I lock the door behind Amor and I, taking my jacket off. The temperature is extremely different in here from outside. It didn't even progressively get cold, just got freezing over night. Zane comes running down the stairs, nearly falling. As if my instinct, I get worried that something is wrong.
      "What happened?" I ask, grabbing her waist. Her eyes have tears in them with mascara stains on her cheeks. "Why were you crying?"
    "I-I'm...I'm-"
    "You're what?"
     "Pregnant! I'm pregnant!" She yells, smiling widely. I freeze, not sure what to do or how to react. "I had a feeling all week, but ignored it cause I didn't want to be disappointed, but I took some tests," she says, taking two sticks out of her back pocket.
     I take them and look at the two lines, knowing what it means just from what she said. My eyes begin to water despite me trying to stop them from doing so. A smile breaks out across my face, my heart beating fast.
     "Why are you crying?" She asks, her smile fading.
    "I'm not crying," I say, wiping my tears. "We're gonna have a kid together?" She nods, wrapping her arms around my neck.
        "Yeah," she says, not even trying to keep her tears from falling. "I'm gonna be a mom." I wrap my arms tightly around her, burying my face in her neck.
    "It better be a girl for our sake," I say. She giggles, pulling back to look at me. I wipe her tears away with the pads of my thumbs, taking a deep breath. My hand rests on her stomach.
    "I hope it's a boy," she says.
     "You're out of your mind. You know who I am right? We'd be fucking screwed."

                   ~Three Months Later~

          "I'm tired of dancing," Zane tells Don who's trying to get to dance with her again. She should be trying to get Zurine to dance with her, seeing that it is her wedding. "Ever?" I get up, setting down my beer and offering her my hand.
      "I can't remember the last time you danced with me," she says, wrapping her arms around my neck.
    "It was the fifth grade dance," I tell her. "I hated every second again and swore to myself I would never dance again." She rolls her eyes, swaying back and forth.
    "Now it's your turn to get married. When are you planning to do it?" She asks.
    "Maybe the end of next year," I tell her. Her eyes widen.
    "Why so long? Is one of you having second thoughts? I will smack some sense into one of you if needed." I chuckle, shaking my head. She's always immediately jumped to crazy conclusions.
     "She doesn't want to be uncomfortable at our wedding," I tell her.
    "Why would she be uncomfortable?"
     "Well being fat into a pregnancy isn't the most comfortable," I tell her. She stops and covers her mouth with her hand. "We didn't want to tell anyone until she was a few months along to make sure things would go good."
     "I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT!" She yells. Zurine shoots up. Zane looks wide eyed at him.
     "So first you propose without my blessing then get her pregnant?" He yells. Don crosses her eyes, glaring at him. "You're lucky I have to be nice to you today."
    "I hid the bread roller," Zane says.
    "I got another one."
