*Sawyer's POV*
Kane sat there for a very long time. I bit my lip, scared of the words that had just left my mouth. This wasn't how I had been expecting this to go. I didn't expect an Error 404 saying that my husband wasn't responding. He looked at my face, seeming to be searching for if I was serious. He licked his partially parted lips and swallowed.
"What?" Is all he said for the moment.
I was too scared to speak. His bottom lip curled slightly, as if he was about to say more but stopped. He looked me over and sucked in a breath. He swallowed again, hard. His hands on my knees shook slightly. He blinked rapidly, seeming to try to pull himself out of his shock.
"Say it again..." He said and I took a breath, "But just like the first time."
I took a nervous breath, "Kane, we're having a baby." I repeated.
He let out a breath as a smile tugged at the corners on his mouth. He looked down at his lap, letting out a breathy laugh. I became nervous for him at his reaction. He squeezed my legs, looking back up at me, smile wide across his face.
"We're having a baby." he let out another breath filled laugh.
"You're pregnant." He said laughing again, looking at his lap. "Oh. You're pregnant."
He looked up at me with panic in his eyes. He rested his elbows on his knees and placed his head in his hands. He looked pale. I leaned forward, extremely worried, and put a hand on his shoulder. He ran his hands through his hair before interlocking his fingers on the back of his neck.
"Kane?" I whispered, scared by his sudden change in reaction.
"Your dad is gonna kill me." Kane said
"What?" I asked with a laugh. "Is that what you're worried about?"
"Well yeah! We've been married just over a month an' you're pregnant!" Kane looked panicked
I bit my lip. "So you think it's too soon?" I trailed off, my heart sinking
*Kane's POV*
I heard Sawyer retreating as she responded. She began to lean back again. I sat up, grabbing her hands and looking up at her. She looked nervous, scared even. I began shaking my head as I shifted so I was facing her more and held her hands tightly in mine.
"No. I mean it's really sudden but, Sawyer, I'm happy." I said
"Are you sure it's not too soon?" Sawyer asked, brows furrowed together
I shook my head with a smile, "We're gonna have a baby."
I whispered it again as I brought her hands to my lips, kissing both of them. Sawyer smiled as a blush crept across her cheeks. My eyes flicked from her face down to her shirt. I knew there wouldn't be a bump of anything yet, but I kicked my shoes off and laid out on the bed. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my head against her stomach. All I could hear was Sawyer's laugh and her stomach growl.
"Kane. You won't be able to hear or feel anything for a while." Sawyer laughed
"Are you hungry?" I asked, pulling back and sitting up.
"I'm alright." Sawyer laughed
"I heard your stomach rumble. You know what, I'm gonna go make you somethin' to eat!" I stood and headed for the door.
"What'd'ya want? Any cravings? You know, I'm just gonna make everything." I said
I ran downstairs, hearing Sawyer's laugh fill the hall as she tried telling me, repeatedly, that she wasn't that hungry. I got to the kitchen and got out two pans. I stopped for a minute, unable to come up with any ideas of what to make. I grabbed my phone and started typing.
"I swear, if you're lookin' up what babies eat." Sawyer said, crossing her arms.
"No." I put my phone on the counter and locked it. "Not anymore. So what sounds good?"
"Hmmm. Can you make grilled cheese an' some tomato soup?" Sawyer asked
Sawyer sat on one of the bar stools, pulling on of her legs under her, while I grabbed my ingredients and turned on the stove. I made a large stack of grilled cheese before putting the soup on the stove. I walked around the island and up to Sawyer as she grabbed a sandwich. Turning her to face me, I lifted her chin gently and leaned in, kissing her. I slowly pulled back, staying close enough for our noses to touch. Sawyer let out a content sigh and kissed me again. I pulled back and went to dish out our soup for lunch.
*Sawyer's POV*
I pulled my sandwich apart and sunk my teeth into one of the gooey halves. Kane set a bowl of soup in front of me which I gladly ate. He leaned over the island with his own bowl and began to eat after I took my first spoonful of soup. I was still upset with him but not as much now that he had made me lunch.
"So." Kane said, playing with his bowl.
"So?" I asked, eating mine.
He looked up at me. "Before I go gettin' all excited, how sure are you?" he asked
I stood up and ran upstairs.
*Kane's POV*
Sawyer was back downstairs in a matter of minutes. Sitting back in her spot, she placed three tests in front of me. I looked at one that had a light light and another had another light line but it was darker than the other one. Then I looked at the third test that was a digital one. I picked it up and read 'pregnant' on it. I covered my mouth and looked up at her. She had her phone out, facing me, obviously recording my reaction. She let out a laugh
I walked around the island and wrapped her up in a tight hug. She wrapped her arms around me. She was shaking slightly. I pulled back, letting one of my hands remain on her waist as I looked at the tests again. She happily explained to me when she had taken each as she tore off pieces of her food and popped it in her mouth.
"So I took this one first." She said about the light one.
"When?" I asked looking at it, "It's so light."
"About two weeks ago. An' that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure so I took the second test the week after." She explained.
"So this was the third one?" I held up the digital test, "When was this?"
"About three days ago." she said shyly.
"Three days?!" I looked at her and counted back in my head. "The CMA's. Is this what you wanted... Was this what you were trying to...."
"Kinda. I was also upset about you missing our date night an' your packed schedule. I hadn't seen you much." she explained.
"Well you'll be seein' more of me now." I said, "Done eatin'?"
She nodded, and I scooped her up. She held onto me tightly, demanding to know what I was doing as I managed the staircase, careful with how I carried her. I walked down the hall and laid her on our bed. I flipped the lights off and climbed in bed with her, wrapping an arm around her.
"Are you gonna tell me what you're plannin' now?" Sawyer laughed
"You were up late waitin' for me so we're gonna lay down." I said
"If you say so." Sawyer laughed, pressing herself closer to me and relaxing.
"How're you feelin'?" I asked as I traced patterns on her back.
She sighed, "Tired. But I'm glad you're happy."
"Was I the first to know?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nope. Emmeryse was." Sawyer laughed
"I figured that much." I laughed
It was the middle of the day but we settled in for a long needed nap.
