H&J Lockdown

12

I rush back to Heros apartment, finding the door unlocked when I get there. I walk inside cautiously looking around for Hero. Not seeing him I make my way to the fridge and grab a bottle of water, chugging it.

Not wanting to talk to Hero yet, I avoid going to his bedroom and instead grab my laptop off of the counter and take it to the living room. Sitting down on the couch I turn it on and see that I have two new emails from my team. The first email is letting me know promotion for a movie I filmed in the fall called Moxie, was starting sooner then expected and the second email was more flight information to make sure I was back in LA in time. The email nicely informed me I had less then two weeks to get my ass back and that they were no longer hinting now.

A different kind of stress overwhelms me and I can't help but slam the laptop shut and run to Heros room, needing to be near him.

He is staring out the window, my phone pressed against his ear when I enter his room. I listen quietly as he agrees to whatever the other person says on the line before thanking them and ending the call.

"Who was that?" I ask when he finally turns around and notices me.

"Never leave without your phone again." He snaps at me handing me my phone. Then he adds more gently, "Please. You have no way to reach me if something goes wrong."

"Sorry." I say, nodding in agreement.

He grabs my arms and moves us to the end of the bed. Sitting down he pulls me between his legs and grabs my hips to keep me standing in place. His face is serious but he no longer looks angry.

"Whats wrong?" I ask him, running my fingers through his hair resting on his forehead.

"The doctors office called with the results from your blood work. I didn't think you were home so thats why I answered your phone."

"And, what did they say?"

"What if they said you were having my baby?" He teases.

My heart flutters and tears burn my eyes. "What?"

"The hCG levels in your blood work are low but high enough that it probably means we are in the early stages of pregnancy."

I forget how to speak as he stares at me, waiting for my reaction.

"They ordered another blood test to see if your levels have increased this week, if they did we know for sure your pregnant, if they didn't you will have to have another test next week."

"So we still don't know for sure?"

"Not for sure but he said it is looking that way based off of when you went off birth control and the hCG level in your blood work."

Before I can respond he moves his hands to my ass and drags me on top of him as he lays back on the bed.

"Whats going through your mind baby? I know you can't be too surprised right now, seeing as neither of us tried to prevent this from happening."

Truthfully, hes right. Both of us knew this could happen if we didn't use protection and still neither of us cared. I have never felt so overwhelmed with emotion as I did when he told me I was having his baby just moments ago but hearing that we are still not sure right after and having to tell him I have to go back to LA soon is scaring me.

I don't want to fight with him or have any secrets between us so I decide to tell him quickly, like pulling off a band aid, even though I know he is going to be mad or over dramatic about it.

"No, I'm not surprised. I mean, I wish we knew for sure but I can't think of anything I want more then this baby right now."

"Then why are you so sad?"

"I just found out I have to go back to LA soon, promotion for Moxie starts in two weeks."
