The Game of Life

Like My Self-Worth

Narrator is here too

Just two weeks before the wedding and Kayla has yet to tell Loki about the baby. She's just too nervous, and stressed that he's going to freak out on her.

Right now she was just arriving home from the store with the week's groceries. She knew that Loki would be home in approximately an hour or so. She continued what she was doing, and began making some dinner, which consisted of steak, and mashed potatoes on the side.

And like she said, an hour into her cooking Loki came home. He walked through the front door as soon as she was putting the food on plates and setting it nicely on the table.

"Well hello there my love" Loki said as he pulled her into a hug, then taking of his light coat.

"Good evening. How was work?" Kayla asked as she finished setting the food on the table.

"Pretty uneventful without you there" Loki replied going over to the table. "This is wonderful! Any special reason you made this?" He inquired.

"Maybe" Kayla giggled as she made a sign for him to sit down.

"I'm guessing you won't tell me till after then?" He said.

"Yep" she simply replied as she got settled in her chair.

Loki started eating and said "Are you sure you don't want to move the wedding to a couple more weeks? You've seemed really stressed recently"

Kayla froze and responded with, "No! I mean no. We already have everything planned, and by now it would be awful to push back. I think it's fine the way it is"

"Are you sure?" Loki asked for reassurance.

"I don't think I've ever been more sure about anything in my life" Kayla dramatized.

"Well ok then. Everything is set" Loki said as he continued to eat his food.

When the couple finished eating, Kayla picked up the plates as Loki went into the basement to grab something. Once Loki came back up Kayla was already in her chair.

"Since you cooked this amazing meal, and our wedding is just in reach, I think it's time to have some of this" Loki said as he revealed one of his most aged wines.

"Loki I don't think it-

"Oh nonsense it's our night, our time. Get a little loose. Have fun" He said as he popped the bottle open and poured two glasses. He then handed one to a very frozen Kayla.

"To us" Loki said as he clinked her glass and drank.

Kayla didn't move she just staring straight ahead, scared of what was going to come next.

"Why aren't you drinking? I though you loved this type of wine" Loki said after taking a sip.

"I-I do, but there's just a problem." She took a deep breath. "I....I'm pregnant" it sounded almost like a whisper, as glass could be heard shattering on the ground.

She looked up to see Loki standing there frozen. Hand still in place as if his glass was still there. He turned his head slightly to face her.
