Unexpected (Tyler Herro/ Miami Heat)

Nineteen

Arlies heart raced as she walked back and forth around her living room. She anxiously played with her hands as she waited for Tyler to arrive.

There was a knock.

Her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach.

She hesitated to open the door but found herself walking over to it.

Once she opened it Tyler gave her a smile but it quickly faded, "what's wrong?" He asked as he noticed her distressed look.

"Nothing, just come in." She have a fake smile.

"Nah man. I know you, what's wrong?" he walked in.

She closed the door and leaned against it unable to speak.

"Babe? What happened?" He was now very concerned.

"I'm your first REAL real relationship...?" She asked.

"I mean yeah, why?"

"Do you think we're gonna last..."

"We better. I'm not trying to loose you."

She was silent.

"Arlie, you can tell me anything. You know that right? No matter what, I'll be there for you."

"For us...?"

He raised a brow, "us?" he questioned.

"Ty...I'm pregnant..."

His mouth dropped in disbelief, "wait are you for real...?"

She shook her head.

A smile formed, "you're really pregnant?"

"I'm really pregnant."

"Man you had me coming in here thinking you killed someone."

"What?" She asked with a confused face.

"I mean this is still shocking but...I'm just in shock."

He was, he honestly didn't know how to react or what to think about the news. Tyler knee they're both young but life does bring unexpected things like this.

"Yeah me too..." She said.

He walked over and hugged her, "Bet your fine ass Imma be there for you. No matter what Arlie, I'm gonna be there."

"So is this good news or what?"

He let go and looked down at her, "I mean...It's definitely shocking," he laughed, "but I love you. I'm so in love with you. It feels like I've been in love with you for a lifetime. And maybe this baby will make us seem like we need to force things but we don't have to."

"We don't?"

"No. I mean it's gonna feel forced at times. But trust me, it's not gonna be that way. We're gonna do this together, me and you all the way."

She kissed him.

"How'd you find out anyways?"

"Josh took me to get the test.l

"Damn so he knew first?"

"Well I mean yeah if he took me to buy the test."

"What about Jess?"

"He advised me to tell you first."

"Well we definitely have to do some talking but..."

They got interrupted by knocking.

Arlie opened the door to Jimmy, Kendrick, Bam, and Duncan.

"Oh there you are, we were looking for you." Jimmy pointed to Tyler.
