Falling(Wilbur Soot) 2

5) forget what i said

The wedding was in a month. Almost everything was worked out and ready. We've been excited and ready for days now. Now of course with little to nothing left to do, we made it our top priority to finally visit his family. I was very nervous about meeting them but he consistently has assured me that they are lovely. I was more nervous about announcing the news of us expecting. I have no idea what they're like and how they will react. I don't want my first impression to be that.

Since we would be gone for a few days, I asked Leon to come over and check up on Bea every once and a while. Of course he agreed, but when I tried to give him a key he refused.

"Why? Take the damn key." I said holding my hand open.

"I still have mine." He grinned making me roll my eyes.

"Are you sure you don't want a ride to the airport?" Liam peeked his head from the living room.

"Will is in the uber waiting. Thank you though." I explained.

"You good Ann?" Leon asked as my face started to contort.

"Yeah..I don't think baby is agreeing with breakfast." I groaned.

Leon rushed me to the bathroom and I hurled everything I had consumed earlier.

"Hm. That's disgusting."

"You're disgusting." I tossed back frowning at him momentarily.

He rolled his eyes.

"You going to be good for this flight?" He asked genuinely concerned now.

"Yeah." I leaned back feeling better after that. I rinsed my mouth in the sink and asked Leon for some gum and he found me some thankfully.

"I'll make sure Bea is fine. Have a good trip and message me when you land." Leon walked me out.

I nodded and found the uber waiting for me. Will was in the front seat chatting away with the driver about a billion different things.

The airport was very empty despite being the beginning of spring. I assumed so many people would be traveling but I guess it seems I'm wrong. The two of us enjoyed a cup of coffee together while we waited for the flight to begin boarding. Wilbur stared at me in a way that could make me fall in love with him all over again. His head was cocked to the side slightly and a slight smile danced on his lips. I noticed his glasses were further down his nose like they had slipped. I leaned across the table and pushed them back into place. My hand fell down his cheek and I caressed it gently.

"I love you." He rested his hand on top of mine and squeezed lightly.

"I love you more." I dropped my hand from his cheek but didn't dare let go of his.

"I love you most." This time he leaned forward to give me a small peck on the lips that was somehow long enough to feel like it would last forever.

"Now boarding Flight 314 to London, England."

We both stood up with our carryons in hand. We began walking towards the gate I happily wrapped my hand around Wills as he took lead.

The flight didn't feel very long seeing as I had slept an abundant amount of time. I woke up an hour before landing and Will was just falling asleep. I let him fall asleep and promised to wake him before we landed. He happily rested his head gently on top of my head and I just laughed quietly to myself. When the flight attendant announced that we needed to make sure our seatbelts were buckled because we would be landing soon, that's when I decided to wake him. Big mistake. He was extremely cranky and whined about not getting enough sleep. I just flicked his forehead and that shut him up.

The cities view came into vision and I smiled in amazement. This was Will's home. I'd finally be meeting his family and friends. However we have to tell them the news. Not so exciting in my own opinion. Will rubbed his eyes still trying to wake up. I gazed at him grinning ear to ear. I was about to say something when I felt a little flutter come from my abdomen. I gasped slightly and rested my hand on top of my stomach. The bump was barely there but a baby was growing in there. If you didn't know me you probably couldn't tell I was pregnant. I waited a few seconds and I felt a similar flutter again.

"Hey. You okay?" Will asked. He must have taken notice of my concentrated face.

"Yeah I just think the baby is kicking. Well. Kind of. They have teeny tiny legs so maybe they're just moving around." I explained looking back up at him.

"It's early. I'm sure he'll get stronger." Will kissed my cheek and got back to putting things away.

"He? What if it's a she?" I asked laughing.

"I don't like calling it 'it'." He said shrugging.

"How bout a nickname?" He nodded and thought for a moment.

"I call you bunny. What the word for a baby bunny?" He asked. I assured him we could look it up once we were off the plane.

While walking to baggage claim, Wilbur excitedly looked up the name. He also said his dad texted saying they were outside of baggage claim. I grew nervous knowing that this would be my first impression of them. He held onto my hand.

"Kit. That's a baby rabbit." It was sweet. Once they were born we could actually call them Kit as well. So he or she would have two names.

"Kit it is."

After finding our bags we walked outside the baggage claim entrance into a waiting area for families and such picking up people. An older couple stood out from the rest. I knew it was his parents as soon as I laid eyes on them. Will was busy scanning the crowds of people while I scanned them. His mother was short but not too short. More so average, but the height of his dad made her look short, kind of like Wilbur and I. He did get two things from her though and it was the cute ears and nose. I tugged on his sweater and pointed and he grinned in response.

"How'd you know it was them?" He asked as we made our way towards them.

"Intuition."

"Mum! Dad!" Will let my hand go and embraced them both.

"This is my fiancé, Anastasia." His mum pulled me into a hug quickly.

"It's so lovely to meet you Anastasia." She gushed.

"Please, call me Anna. I've heard so many great things about you."

I hugged his father next and with that we were off to the car. Wilbur warned me beforehand that the car ride would be a little long seeing as his parents lived out in a more rural area. It was fine with me because it gave us more time to talk without worrying about anything.

"You don't have an American accent. Where are you from?" Wilbur's mother, Kelly as she asked me to call her, asked.

"New Zealand. My accent is a little washed up though do to the amount of Americans I'm around." I joked.

"Why'd you move?" His dad, Ben, asked next.

"New Zealand will always be my heritage and where my family is, but it never felt like home to me. Moving was the best thing I could have possibly done. I have fantastic friends in California. I've built a life there." I smiled to myself knowing I made the right choice.

"That's wonderful dear. Wilbur honey how are you settling in?" Kelly asked.

"Great. I kind of agree with Anna about building a home and that's what we've done. The wedding is coming up. The baby." As soon as Will had spoke that last sentence my breathing stopped. He knew right away what he said and stared into my eyes knowing he fucked up.

"I'm sorry I'm getting a bit old and my hearing is going..did you say baby?" Ben asked chuckling slightly.

"You're pregnant?" Kelly turned in her seat to stare at me.

"I would have told you sooner Mum, but anna didn't want her first impression to be 'I'm knocked up and we aren't even married yet'." Will smiled sympathetically towards me.

"We were planning on telling you now. Well, when we get to your house." I scratched my head awkwardly.

"Surprise?" Oh Wilbur.
