Why Us?

Pregnant

     I walked into the living room as he was sitting on the couch.

     "A-Aaron," I said nervously.

     "Yeah," He said. I smiled at him. 

     "I'm pregnant!" I said. He sat in silence. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

     "Babe, you know I can't tell exactly where you are. I can't hug you by myself," He said.

     "You're not upset?" I asked nervously.

     "No, of course not. I'm gonna be a dad!" He said excited. I hugged him and he kissed me.

     "I love you," He smiled. I smiled and we sat on the couch. 

     "How long have you known?" He asked.

     "A month or so," I said.

      "Aphmau, you should've told me," He said.

*cough* *cough* Hamilton reference *cough*

      "I was about to tell you when I found out on the island but all hell broke loose," I said.

      "That's true," He said as he hugged me. 

      "I love you," I smiled. Suddenly a tear ran down his cheek.

      "What's wrong?" I asked.

      "Just the thought that I'll probably never see my baby's face," He said.

      "I know, Aaron. This is hard, but we need to work through this together," I said holding his hands. He cried and I pulled his head into my chest. He cried as I held him. This was going to be a difficult time.
