Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 66

'Well, here we are.. Home sweet home' I sighed as we touched down in London Gatwick airport.
'Eugh, it's raining!' Aston moaned, watching me pull a large fluffy cardigan out of my hand luggage.
'You're gonna be freezing..' I smirked, looking at Aston in his summery clothes. I'd thought ahead and brought a cardigan in my hand luggage.
'I'll be fine, we only have to walk from the airport doors to the taxi' he winked.
'Have you already booked a taxi?' I asked.
'No.. But I'll do it as soon as we get off the plane' he smiled.

'Aston, I don't feel too good' I complained as we sat in the taxi on the way home.
'You MUST have a bug.. I'll take you to the doctors this week' Aston smiled.
'STOP THE CAR! I think I'm gonna be sick' I shouted to the driver, a horrible feeling returning to my stomach.
'Okay darling, just don't throw up on my back seats!' the driver said, pulling over as quickly as he could. I practically jumped out of the car, and got out just in time. Aston ran round from his side and held my hair out of my face.
'Are you done?' Aston asked, patting my back.
'Yeah' I coughed, getting back in.
'Just tell me if you need to throw up again, I'll stop for you' the driver said.
'Thankyou' I smiled, resting my head and Aston's shoulder.

Luckily, we got home without having to stop again. Aston dragged our suitcases up the stairs and into our room.
'I need to brush my teeth' I said, unzipping my suitcase and finding my toothbrush.
'Okay baby' he smiled. Once I'd finished in the bathroom, I came back out to see Aston sat on his iPad.
'What are you looking at?' I asked, beginning to unpack.
'I was just looking at pregnancy symptoms..' he said.
'Pregnancy symptoms?' I asked, sitting down next to him.
'Yeah.. These are the 7 most common pregnancy symptoms, and you've been having 5 of them.. The only ones you HAVEN'T had are needing to go to the toilet a lot, and the most obvious one, no period.. You aren't late, are you?' he asked.
'No, I don't think so.. Let me check' I said, checking it on an app I had on my phone.
'No, I'm not' I said.
'You still COULD be pregnant though I guess.. Do you think you could be?' he asked.
'Maybe..' I smiled, looking him in the eye.
'Well.. We'll book an appointment, and see what the doctor says' he grinned.
'Okay, but let's not get our hopes up.. I might NOT be pregnant' I said.
'Okay, but.. If you are? I'm over the moon' he smiled, kissing my nose.
'Me too. But we need to unpack, come on!' I smiled, standing up and carrying on with my unpacking.
'Love you' Aston said, hugging me from behind, kissing the back of my neck.
'Love you too' I smiled.

I was unbelievably happy for once. There was a BIG chance I could be pregnant, which meant me and Aston had another shot at our family.. I was just crossing my fingers hoping I AM pregnant.
