No Clue

November 17, 2018

     I walked out of the bathroom in shock. I was pregnant and I didn't know how to feel about it. I was excited. I had always wanted to be a mom, but the timing was very off. I was trying to stay calm and figure out who killed my best friend. It all made sense though. I had been very moody lately. I just thought it was because of Kelly. And my appetite had been messed up. I wish I had seen the signs sooner.

"I'm pregnant." Vinny just sat there with his mouth wide open.

"Holy shit." He ran over to me and hugged me. "Okay, um, we can do this. I'll make a doctor's appointment." He kissed my head. I could sense that he wasn't happy about it. I knew he had wished that I wasn't growing a child within me. It was just the timing. I understood that. Even I was slightly wishing I wasn't pregnant, but it happened. At least it wasn't with a random human. 

     I started crying. The fact that he wasn't excited about this hurt me. I knew he was okay with it, but this was supposed to be the start of the rest of our lives. And he didn't want it. I could tell by his body language and his tone in his voice. He hated that we were in this situation. 

"You don't want it."

"What? What are you talking about? Of course, I want it." Vinny pulled out of the hug and touched my stomach. I pushed it away. I could feel the tears begin to form in my eyes. And within a second, one fell. "Lexi, I want this baby. There is no one else I would want this baby with. You're the love of my life, but right now just seems like the worst time to have one. Kelly is dead. She got murdered. And now we have to worry about this on top of it." I looked away from him.

"Go."

"What?" I didn't say it again. He knew why I said it. "I'll call you later." Vinny left swiftly. The tension in the room grew with every second he was in it. I couldn't believe that he wasn't insanely happy. I understood why, but it was our child. Why wasn't he more ecstatic? 

                                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I awoke from my nap. I cried myself to sleep. I never realized how exhausting it was. And when you're pregnant, you're more tired. I felt sick. I ran to the bathroom and puked in the toilet. This time I actually made it. 

     I walked back out and checked my phone. I had 3 missed calls from Vinny. I wasn't shocked. He did say he would call me. I called him back. He immediately picked up.

"I want that baby."

"You just didn't seem excited at all. You just stared at me blankly. I saw nothing in your eyes."

"I was just in shock. I mean, a fucking baby? We're gonna be a family!" I couldn't help but smile. 

"Maybe I judged a little too quickly." He chuckled softly.

"I think you did, but it doesn't change the fact that I love you." Now, my smile was noticeably there. "Let me in now. I heard you vomit. Let me take care of you." I hung up and opened the door. And, just like he promised, Vinny was standing right there. He took me in his arms and squeezed me tightly. My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck. I held on for dear life. He was the only person I needed at this moment.
