The Boss's Clover

Chapter 21~ The Fun Whoops

Melody's POV

After my meeting with Derek and the representatives from Warner Brothers, I started to feel nauseous. I pushed the feeling from my mind and made it back to my house, where Sean was waiting for me.

"Hey baby," He said once I made it home.

"Hey," I said, the nausea growing stronger.

"Something wrong?"

"Just nauseous. I'll be fine," I answered, plopping down on the couch.

"You sure? Want me to do anything?" Sean asked, sitting next to me.

"Distract me and don't get offended if I bolt to the bathroom."

"I can do that. How did your meeting go?"

"I think it went well. I managed to get them to let me have the final say over everything that happens. It was the only way I was comfortable turning my baby into a movie series."

"That's awesome! You're going to be here a lot, huh?"

"Probably. Not for a while though, they still have to draw up the documents, I have to sign things and the casting process will take a while. But eventually, I will be in America for a while."

"Clover, I'm so proud of you! That's awesome! I am going to miss you though..."

"I'm going to miss the shit out of you too. But we made it work before we lived together, and this isn't permanent. I might even get to take breaks to come home for a couple days or even a week at a time. I just don't know yet."

"And I'll visit if you're still there when PAX is going on."

"I hope I don't have to miss the PAX in March. That's our thing. We met there and we started dating there."

"We'll make it work. I have no doubts. You feelin' any better?"

"Not really. I'm still nauseous, and now my breasts feel kinda sore," I said just before I had to bolt to the bathroom, unloading everything in my stomach into the toilet. Sean entered the bathroom a few minutes after I did and started rubbing my back and whispering comforting phrases. Eventually, the nausea passed but my body was still sore. My head hurt, my back hurt, and my breasts hurt.

"Take a shower and wash yourself and then let's get you to bed, huh? Maybe you just need some sleep."

"Will you hold me in bed?" I asked, feeling absolutely disgusting.

"Of course I will, Sweetheart. Now come on, take off your clothes." Sean helped me strip and then left me to take a quick shower, while he got me some pajamas. Once I was clean and dressed, Sean led me to bed and just held me.

"Any idea why you feel so bad?" He asked quietly, still rubbing my side.

"Not a clue. I was nervous before the meeting, but I got what I wanted so I don't know why that would still be affecting me."

"Maybe something you eat?" Sean suggested.

"But your not sick and that doesn't explain why I hurt all over."

"What if, and hear me out, what if you're pregnant?"

"I can't be, I have an IUD in. Those almost always prevent pregnancy."

"Well nothing stops pregnancy every time, all birth control has a fail rate. It's up to you, but I think you should take a pregnancy test."

"When would I even have gotten pregnant?" I asked. This seemed so ridiculous.

"A couple weeks ago, when we found out about the movie deal, we celebrated that night, remember?"

"Oh, shit. Yeah, I remember. I'm willing to take a couple tests. Would you mind picking some up?"

"I'll be back soon, ok?" Sean said before kissing my forehead and leaving.

"Thank you!" I called to him, nestling further into the bed, trying to get warm again without his body heat.

Sean's POV

I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I had a feeling Melody was pregnant. But I wanted to make sure, so I was off to get pregnancy tests. Am I ready for kids? Yeah, I am. It might just be a little sooner than we thought.

Once I made it to the store, I grabbed a couple different brands of tests just so we could be as sure as possible with home tests. I made it back to Melody and handed her the bag.

"I know it's earlier than we thought, but please just do the tests," I told her. She nodded, crawled out of bed and disappeared back into the bathroom.

Melody's POV

Five minutes after I'd pissed on the collection of pregnancy tests Sean had bought, I looked at the results. All positive.

"Sean!" I called for him and he entered the small room.

"What are the results?" He asked.

"Unless they're all false, I'm pregnant," I said, tears falling down my face.

"Hey, it's going to be ok," Sean said, his voice soothing as he hugged me.

"I just don't know how this happened. I have an IUD in, those are like 99% foolproof. I was going to take it out the day before the wedding so that we could start a family then but now..."

"Shhhhh, baby. It's going to be ok. Yeah, it's a little sooner than we planned but everything's going to be just fine," He replied, still holding me and rubbing my back.

"I still wanna know how this happened," I grumbled.

"Don't IUD's move sometimes?"

"Yeah, but that's usually right after you get them. Maybe you moved it last time we screwed," I reasoned.

"Sorry," He chuckled.

"Sean?"

"Yes, Love?"

"This isn't going to negatively affect our relationship, is it? You aren't going to leave me because of this, are you?" I asked. The question sounded ridiculous to me, Sean wasn't like that but there was a tiny piece of my anxiety that was convinced he was.

"I can assure you, and that tiny piece of irrational anxiety that I will stand by you throughout this pregnancy, through the birth and with raising the baby. You have my word."

"I love how you knew how big the part of me was that asked that question."

"I just know you. And I know it sounded dumb to you, but it's a valid fear, especially since you didn't want kids."

"I want to be discharged after this baby is born, I'm having my tubes tied. Once is more than enough for me. If we need more babies we will either adopt or get more furbabies."

"Yes ma'am," He smiled gently before kissing me softly. "Whatever you want."

"I love you, Shamrock."

"And I love you, Clover." We are going to be ok. All of us.
