Hell Hath No Fury

🖤Chapter 30: Unexpected, But Amazing🖤

Vanessa's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning and noticed myself covered in only the sheets, no clothes on. I blushed and chuckled before sitting up. Turning my head, I saw a note on the pillow from Joe.

'I had to go out for a bit. There's breakfast in the microwave for you. Love you, my future wife.' ~Joe

I smiled before getting up and going to the bathroom to do my morning routine. Once I was done, I went to the bathroom and went to the microwave. I opened it and saw some eggs and chocolate chip pancakes.

I felt my stomach growl before I heated the meal up, getting some blueberry yogurt, orange juice, and a small bowl of strawberries.

Once everything was set up, I began eating before I began scrolling through my Instagram. Just dog videos and funny stuff. Some of them humorous. 

Soon, as I was washing the dishes after finishing my breakfast, I felt my stomach turning. I got really queasy, making me run to the bathroom.

Soon enough, I was puking my guts out and was like that for five minutes. After flushing and brushing my teeth, I began thinking.

I thought it was just a bug, so I went to the cabinet inside the bathroom and saw my box of pads that I had just gotten a few months ago.

No, there's no way.

I suddenly remembered getting a couple pregnancy tests just in case and decided to put them to use. I tested all three of them before setting the timer and washing my hands.

I walked out, pacing back and forth, debating whether or not to call Joe and tell him. I'm not sure if he's ready to have a child with me. I don't know if I'm ready either.

Once I heard the timer go off after a while, I walked to the bathroom and picked up the tests.

Positive.

All three tests were positive. One of them said about 12-14 weeks. 

Geez, I can't believe i was pregnant for THAT long. Huh, guess the little superstar decided to make its presence known.

With panic racing through me like a wildfire, I grabbed the phone and called my sister. After a couple rings, I heard her pick up.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Maryse, I'm freaking the hell out right now." I replied.

"Why? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" she asked.

"No, I'm okay. I just have to tell you something. I'm just freaking out." I said.

"What?" she asked.

"I'm pregnant." I told her. 

"Omg, that's great news! Have you told Joe yet?" she asked.

"No, that's the problem, Sis. I don't know how to tell him because I don't know if he even wants kids. He's not here right now, but I don't know what to do." I explained.

"Well, first, just breathe because it will stress the baby out and that's not good. Second of all, I've seen the way he looks at you. He loves you, baby sis. Why do you think he asked you to marry him? If he wants to marry you, then he will want kids with you. Just tell him and I promise he will be more than happy." she explained.

"Okay, I'll try my best. I'll talk to you soon. Love you." I said.

"Love you too, baby sis." she replied before we ended the call.

I placed the phone down and put the tests in a small box before going to the kitchen, placing my head in my hands.

My head shot up as I heard the front door open, seeing Joe walk in with some bags.

"Hey, babe. I got you your favorite ice cream." he told me as he got out a carton of cookie dough chocolate chip ice cream.

I smiled at him before I took a deep breath. "Um, Joe? I have to talk to you."

"What's up, babygirl?" he asked.

"I have something to tell you and I just want to make sure you don't get mad at me." I explained.

He took my hands in his as he looked into my eyes. "I promise I won't."

I took a deep breath before grabbing the box and placing the pregnancy tests on the counter in front of him. Joe's eyes went big before a smile made its way on his face.

"Are you serious? Are you really-" he started.

"Yes, I am. I thought you would be mad. I thought you wouldn't want to have kids with me." I told him.

I wasn't going to be in one of those cliché moments where one would be crying hysterically. I was keeping my cool and handling this in a mature way.

"Why on Earth would I be mad? Starting a family with my beautiful fiancée. There's a reason why you came into my life. Even when things were bad, I knew that somehow, we would have a future like this. Nothing makes me happier than having you as the mother of my children." he explained.

I smiled before Joe picked me up, spinning me around. I laughed as he kissed my head so many times before. 

"We're gonna be parents!" he cheered.

I laughed before he cupped my face and kissed me tenderly. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. He held me close to him as if he was afraid something would rip me away from him.

After we pull away, he placed his hand on my stomach, rubbing where the bump would soon come in. 

"12-14 weeks you've been pregnant?" he asked. 

"Yup. I don't know how I didn't have symptoms. Well, who cares? As long as our child is there." I said.

He smiled before kissing me again, the excitement and anticipation of me bringing a new life into this world surging like a tidal wave around us.

This was just the start to a happy future with this man, even if he did cause me hurt in the past. We've moved on and it's something that brought us this far.

I couldn't be more happier than I already was.
