Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-21-

Sal's POV

   Ashley jumps in excitement. I get up off of Larry, Still in just a shirt and boxers. I sit on the edge of Larry's bed. Im still a little sleepy. I yawn and stretch.
   Larry gets up and sits next to me. Todd and Ashley sit on the floor or bean bags. We spend the day talking. Todd had to leave to do something for his parents.
    Then he left to spend time with Neil. It was me, Larry, and Ashley all day after Todd left. I start getting nauseous. I tell Larry and he helps me to the bathroom.

   He holds my hair back and rubs my back as i throw up. Ashley leans in the doorway. "Are you guys planning anything tonight?", Ashley asks. I hear Larry chuckle.
   "Maybe...", he says. I look at him with a raised eyebrow. He looks at me and smiles. I look at Ashley. She smiles too. "What are you guys smiling at me for?", i ask.
   "Me and you. Tonight. Date.", Larry says. I turn and look at him. A smile creeps on my face. "A date? Like, a date date?", i ask. He chuckles. "Yes, Baby Blue.", he says.

   I smile again but it soon fades as i throw up again. Larry kisses the back of my neck. Ashley comes in and kneels next to me. She rubs my back too. I stand up.
   I brush my teeth and use mouth wash to get that aweful vomit taste out of my mouth. I pull my hair back into a ponytail. I notice my hair is longer now.
   Larry comes up from behind me. He pulls my hair out of the ponytail. He brushes my hair and puts it into a high ponytail. "Better?", he asks. "Better.", i say.

   We all walk out of the bathroom. "Hey kiddos.", Lisa says. I dont care at the moment about being in just my boxers and a t shirt. I dont even have my prosthetic on.
   Everyone close to me has seen my face and all dont mind. They are the only ones ill be around without my prosthetic. Travis, his 2 accomplices, and Nina are the only others to see.
   They are the only ones to see me without my prosthetic. We all wave to Lisa. Lisa comes to me and hands me a cup. "Drink this. Itll help.", she says.

   I look inside the cup. Its tea. "Help with what?", i ask. "I use to drink this tea when i was pregnant with Larry. Its very soothing and helps with pain.", she says. I smile.
   "Thank you, Lisa.", she smiles. I take a sip of the tea. Its sweet and taste kinda like Apples. "Lisa, what kind of tea is this?", i ask. "Its chamomile tea.", she says.
    I keep sipping on it. I dont like tea but this is good tea. I feel relaxed. I look down and I lift my shirt. I rub my belly. I press on my stomach.

   I can feel something there. The baby is currently the size of a sweet pea. I sit on the couch. Larry, Ashley, and Lisa surround me. I take Larry's hands and put it on my stomach.
   Larry looks at me and smiles. "I cant believe it. We are having a baby.", i say. I look at Larry. "I can't believe it either.", he says with a smile.
   I look Larry in the eyes. His eyes are red and tears on the edge of falling. His nose is pink. "Lar...", i say. He holds me. "Awe!", Lisa and Ashley say.

   "No matter what, they are mine. Regardless if they belong to those bastards, they are still mine.", Larry says through sniffles and tears. "Lar, its okay. Always and forever.", i say.
   I take my pinky and lock it with his. "Always and forever.", he repeats back. Lisa notices the rings. "Larry.... Did you...?", she asks, hinting to if he asked me to marry him. He smiles.
   "No. Its a promise ring.", he says. She smiles. "A promise to what?", she asks. "A promise to one day marry him. A promise to protect him. Always and forever.", he says.

   "And when they day comes, ill be ready.", i say. "Ready for what?", Ash asks. "Always and forever.", i say. I need to be careful from now on at school. With me growing, i have to hide it.
    I wish my mom was here... The next thing close to my mom is Lisa. I try not to think about my mom. Itll only make things worse.
    After this baby, im thinking about starting the process of transitioning fully. Because im so small, ill need to take hormones to redistribute my body fat to the right places.
