Joanne ~ Back in time

Chapter 46~A bump in the road

{Dianne's POV}

It was a bit cold this morning. Fortunately, I woke up snuggled in Joe's arms. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. I ran to the bathroom and threw up.

J-"DIANNE"

Joe came running in after me and held my hair up. I threw up again and again and again. Once I had finished pouring my guts into the toilet I lent against the bath and sighed.

J-"Are you okay"
D-"Yeah yeah I'm fine"
J-"Let's go and get breakfast you might just be hungry because I don't think we had any dinner last night"
D-"Oh no we didn't oops we definitely need breakfast then"

We walked downstairs and Joe made me breakfast like he does every morning. He made us pancakes which I normally love but today they just made me feel sick. Oh no. I ran to the bathroom again and threw up. Like before Joe followed me in and held back my hair. We both leaned against the bathtub this time.

J-"Is it your period that's doing this to you"
D-"Urm no I never get sick during my period or go off of my favourite food and I'm never normally this late I'm normally one or two days but it's been three and I know you can say give your body time but my period works like clockwork well slightly dodgy clockwork but it's never more than two days late and it's been like that for six years"
J-"Okay"
D-"..."
J-"Well it's probably just a virus or infection or-"
D-"Joe I think I might be pregnant"
J-"You can't be"
D-"Well there's only one way to find out and it would explain all my weird cravings last week"
J-"..."

I had taken the pregnancy test and we were waiting for the result.

J-"The timers done"
D-"Okayyy here goes"

I took a deep breath and looked at the test.

"POSITIVE"

Omg, I'm pregnant. I immediately turned to look at Joe who looked so scared and sad which made me burst into tears. I cried into Joe's chest at first he didn't hug me or anything he just stood there but eventually he hugged me back and whispered that it's gonna be alright. We went downstairs and put on a movie. It was just background noise, I could tell neither of us was watching it. We both stared aimlessly into space until Joe broke the silence.

J-"It's Saturday and we only had sex yesterday though"
D-"So"
J-"Surely you can't be pregnant and show symptoms that quickly"
D-"But we also had sex last week on Saturday"
J-"Oh yeah"
D-"..."
J-"..."

Everything was awkward. We literally both agreed earlier in the week that we didn't want anything to change any time soon and now I'm pregnant. Well done Dianne seriously well done. Joe and I rested our heads against each other's and just sat their what am I going to do? What are we going to do?

We wasted the day away sat on the couch. We barely spoke to each other and we both barely ate. When we went to bed I had finished in the bathroom before Joe so was sitting upright in bed waiting for him. When he finished in the bathroom he walked out and looked at me and just got into bed, back facing me. Well, that was rude but maybe he's tired so I can't blame him. I just lied there for hours thinking of absolutely nothing I didn't feel any emotions I just felt empty inside. Even though I was pregnant I felt alone. I wonder how Joe feels?

{Joe's POV}

What would my parents think? They would be angry and mad that I could ever let this happen. I've let them down. They would probably disown me if they were still alive. I've seriously let them down which is something I vowed never to do. What if I'm not a good father. It's different with Macklynn and Eponiné because I came into their lives and I was the hero, I saved them and gave them a father (me) but with this baby it's my fault it's gonna be born and it's my fault Dianne's is gonna have to give birth to it at such a young age. This baby is my mistake and I don't know if I'm okay with that. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I woke up on Sunday morning and felt dead. Out of habit, I made Dianne breakfast as well as my own, I'm not eating with her though. Every time I look at Dianne I am reminded of my mistake and I can't bear that.

{Dianne's POV}

I woke up this morning and there was no Joe in the bed. Just as I thought that there was a gust of freshly baked bread being toasted. I quickly went downstairs expecting Joe to be stood there making us both breakfast but he wasn't. All that was there was a plate of food waiting for me. No Joe. I ate the breakfast and when I was nearly finished Joe walked through and put his plate in the dishwasher. He stood there for a short amount of time as when he saw that I was finished and began to stand up he got up and left. The day carried on Joe obviously avoiding me. I needed to talk to Joe about this after all this was our baby. The only trouble is I can't get Joe to stay in the same room as me for more than twenty seconds. I suppose I better just ask one question and make it quick. I had just wondered on into one of the sitting rooms where Joe was sat down. He began to stand up but before he could move any further I grabbed his arm.

D-"Joe can we talk"
J-"Nope"
D-"Well then can you just answer me this question"
J-"..."
D-"What are we going to do"
J-"What do you mean we, this is your baby, sort it out"

I slowly nodded as Joe continued to walk out of the room. He's right this is all on me I am the Mum after all. Wait a minute no this isn't all on me. Just because I'm the mum doesn't make it all my problem. It takes two to tango hit like it takes two to get pregnant. I need to make a pretty bold statement and hopefully, that will give Joe the kick in the ass he needs to figure out what he's feeling and what he is going to do.
