Applying for a Daddy

27

The holidays passed quickly. We went through Halloween, going to parties, celebrating. I didn't do much drinking because I was feeling sick a few days before.
Thanksgiving was hard for me too, eating all that food didn't go over well.
Christmas however was amazing! Colby got me a new stuffy since Navi terrorized my teddy bear and ate my bunny. So now I had a new teddy bear!! I gave Colby a homemade gift, which was a book of cheesy coupons for hugs, cuddles, and some were even for sexual activities that I'm not going to go into detail for. He thought it was cute. New Years was supposed to be fun but I got extremely sick early in the day so Colby stayed home with me while the others went out and partied.

It was now January 15th, we were so close to the wedding. I wasn't getting sick anymore, except I did come down with the flu or something in February. It was awful.

We were finally finished with all the preparations for the wedding. Colby double checked everything, to make sure it was all paid for and then Kat and I triple checked to make sure the times and food and everything was right.

I was currently on the tanning chair out by the pool. Kat and Sam were messing around in the pool. Devyn was tanning next to me. Jake, Tara and Colby sat in the pool talking. Aaron and Corey were having fun on their own playing video games inside. It was a nice day, not too hot but hot enough for us to go swimming. Colby got out of the water and walked over to the table. He grabbed his drink and took a sip. "Baby." I said, covering my eyes from the sun. "Yes kitten?" He sat down quickly, and placed his wet hand on my thigh. I looked at his hand and images of last night popped into my head.

Colby wrapped his hand around my throat as he kissed down my body.

I bit my lip. "I want cuddles." I said softly. He smiled and laid on my side, resting his head on my chest. "Get a room!" Xepher said as she walked into the back yard. Griffin was with her, which was still a little strange to me. Mike and Kevin were on their way according to their last text to Colby.

I played with Colby's wet hair while he hummed some song. I smiled, knowing that soon I was going to be Mrs. Harper Lee Brock. Colby was different from my other care givers. They never would have asked me to marry them. Colby loved me, more than I knew. But still, the closer we got to the wedding, the more I felt off.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Kevin and Mike showing up. Mike ran in and jumped in the pool immediately. Kevin laughed of course, which caused me to laugh. Colby looked at me, smiling. "Can I-" He started. I nodded, smiling. "You can leave me it's okay." I laughed a bit, he rolled his eyes and placed his hand on my stomach. He kissed me, smiling as he pulled away. He went to go mess around with the guys. I decided to go get a drink from inside. I walked into the kitchen grabbing a soda. I heard the boys in the game room shouting and rolled my eyes. "Children." I mumbled while laughing.

I walked back outside, I felt something move in my stomach. I frowned. "What the-" I stopped talking, my eyes going wide. "Katrina!" I called, dropping my drink and running inside. "Baby!?" I heard Colby call after me. I ran to my room and grabbed the box of pregnancy tests. I grabbed one and ran upstairs to the bathroom. I heard Kat following me, closing the door behind her. "Something is wrong." I said quickly. "What do you mean?"
"I think I'm pregnant. Kat I'm- scared." I started to tear up as I grabbed a test out of the box. "Colby-" I said
"I told him I'd take care of it, so he's outside." She nodded.

I took the test and did what I had to do while Kat waited outside the bathroom. I waited a few minutes, hitting the test against my hand. I looked down, and saw it. The plus sign that said I was indeed pregnant. I sighed heavily. How was I going to tell Colby? Was he going to leave? Would he be mad? I was so scared. I opened the door and Kat spun around, I was crying. "Well..." she started. I nodded, she sighed as well.
"You don't look-"
"I have gained weight but I'm very tiny so.."
"But no other symptoms?"
"I was getting sick for a while...plus the flu in February."
"It wasn't the flu..."
"Nope."
"Fuck. Harps."
"Get Sam. Please."
She nodded and placed her hands on my shoulders. "It's gonna be okay." She said before running downstairs. I went and sat in Colby's room.

When Kat came back she pulled me into Sam's room and we all sat down.
"Sam-" I started, looking down at my lap. I held the test in my hands. I showed him and he just stared at it. "What is-..oh." He came to the realization that I was with child. "Have you told Colby?" He asked.
"No, I just found out...but I think I've known for a while, subconsciously."
"He has to be so worried right now." Kat said, looking down the hall. "We have to go get him." She added. I agreed.

Kat left to go get Colby while Sam and I talked more. I began crying again, Sam trying to comfort me. Colby came rushing up the stairs, I took a deep breath and faced him as he rushed into the room. "Colby. You should sit down." Sam said softly, his hand on my shoulder. Colby sat down and looked between me and Sam. Kat stood in the doorway. "Colby I uh...I took a pregnancy test..." I started to cry more, I was so scared. He looked down at my hands and then back up to me. A smile coming across his face. "You're pregnant?" He let out a breath as he spoke. I nodded, crying more. He knelt down in front of me and kissed me, cupping my face. "Stop crying baby, this is...it's okay." He said. Sam got up and walked out with Kat, giving us a minute. Colby sat next to me and wiped my tears. "You're not mad?" I whined a little. "No, I'm not mad. Why would I be mad? I love you and this little thing...it's ours." He started to talk as I tried to cam down. "Baby girl, we're gonna have a family..sooner than we thought but, still." He finished. I hugged him, crying again.

"Baby, this is going to be good. I know we may not be ready but we have months to prepare. I love you so much, this is gonna be good for us." He said again. He kissed me again, passionately. Wrapping his hands around my waist.

We went back down stairs after I cleaned myself up. We went into the pull, me sitting in Colby's lap for the rest of the night. Only Sam and Kat knew, and I wanted to keep it that way. At least until I went to the doctor. Colby had promised we go next week to get a check up.
