*world series* "Hey babe we gotta go now," I run down the stairs pulling on a jacket. "Alright, I'm coming, go start the car." I whip around grabbing the keys as Christian throws them to me. It was game 7 of the world series a 2017 repeat of Dodgers vs Astros. Dodgers had won 3 and so did Houston, this game would determine it all. Homefield advantage was our but the Astros were good on any field so that didn't do anything for us. "Why do you have a bag of cheese itz?" Christian laughs reaching over and stealing some. "There a craving I've been having," I shove a few in my mouth not even thinking about how in the last 2 days I had eaten four boxes.
The game started at 7 pm but we had to get there at 1 pm. Traffic was gonna be mad and there was a huge banquet lunch. Cody invited me and said I could bring Christian if I pleased. I walked into the large room trickled with dodgers and their family members. Raising my self on tippy toes holding Christian's hand for support. "There I see V and Cody" I drag him through everyone to the table seated by V, Cody, Corey, and mady. "Finally you're here, " V gets up hugging me followed by Cody. "Did you get a new cologne?" I say holding my breath. "Nope same one I've had since high school," "Oh man, I don't know I've been weird as hell lately," I shake it off trying to think why all of a sudden a cologne I had smelt a hundred times made me wanna throw up.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
*V perspective*
"Cody can you come with me," I stand up sitting my napkin on the table. "Yeah, excuse us guys." I walk him out of the room and find an empty open office to talk in private. "Astrid doesn't look good, I'm worried." I let out a deep sigh holding my forehead. "Thank god I wasn't the only one. She's acting weird, she looks flushed and a little sick." "I wanna take her home but she's not gonna leave you guys," I rub my temples shaking my head back and forth. "I know, I hope she's ok," Cody sighs putting a hand on my shoulder.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★
*Astrids perspective* The game was starting and we had all chosen to get a suite. I slumped down in a chair laying my head back. "Hey, Astrid are you ok?" Christian crouches beside me and grabbing my hand and rubbing it with his thumb soothing me. "Yeah just a little sick feeling, I don't know what it is," I smile squeezing his hand making him smile. "Why don't we go home and watch the game on tv, I don't like you out like this." "No, I can't-" "You should Astrid, ill take you home." V walks over sitting in the chair beside me. I roll my eyes pulling my hand from Christian rubbing my forehead. "I'm not leaving ok I'm not leaving my friends, god you're acting like I'm dying." I stand up marching to the outside seats slumping down to watch Turner's at-bat.
The bottom of the 8th inning Astros had the lead 7-5. It was the dodgers up to bat and we had to start pulling our shit together. Pederson strikeout, Cody pop up easy catch by Altuve. Will took 1 swing and the ball took flight but feel just a few feet short of the wall. Caught by springer. "Shit man shit," I whisper fo myself crushing the cup I had. "Here take this," V held out some ibuprofen and a water bottle. "Thank you," I smile taking the pills. "I know you probably wanna celebrate with the guys but once they win I'm gonna take you home," I take a deep breath and don't even bother arguing. "Ok," I rest my head on her shoulder as joe kelly was announced at the closer.
1st batter was Bregman, strikeout. Then Diaz, another strikeout, Last Reddick, strikeout. I breathe a sigh of relief. Then getting tense as Osuna is announced as the closer. "Please god," I whisper to myself biting my nails. A walk to Chris Taylor, Cody hit a ground ball to second and error by Bregman letting Cody to get to first and Taylor to 2nd now in scoring position. Corey up to bat I could barely catch my breath I was so damn nervous. 1st pitch, ball. 2nd pitch, ball. I stood up holding my breath Osuna hadn't even gotten ready to pitch and I could feel it. Fastball right down the middle the ball came in perfect contact with the bat soaring into the upper deck.
And the dodgers win the world series with a 3 run walk-off home run by Corey Seager. "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT," we all scream jumping up and down. I hug Christian feeling tears come to my eyes. We all hug giving an extra squeeze to mady. We all wave to the field yelling to the guys. I wipe my eyes hugging Christian again. "Can you go celebrate for me," I whisper into his ear. "Of course," he whispers back kissing my cheek. "Come on," V pulls me from him putting her arm around me. "Tell Cody I love him," she yells to Christian making him laugh.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The traffic was hell and took about an hour to get out of even though we left as soon as the game ended. "Hey, can we stop at the store?" I say pointing to the Walmart. "Sure what you need?" "I got it," "Alright get me a coke," I walk to the snack aisle grabbing two boxes of cheese itz. I walk to the cheek out and grab two cokes staring at the white box labeled first response. I ponder grabbing it but in the end, throwing it on the counter to be scanned.
We get to the apartment and I try to casually go to the bathroom. I open the box and take the test sitting on the floor waiting for the results. When I feel its been long enough I grab it off the counter closing my eyes praying. "Dear God," I whisper to myself opening my eyes to two pink lines. "Oh my god, holy shit," I say to my self tears coming to my eyes.
I walk out of the bathroom crying staring at the test. V sitting on the couch had a direct look at me. "Astrid, what's wrong?" She stands up walking to me. "I'm pregnant."
