Soulmates

Chapter Twenty- Seven: Butterflies

Shailene's POV~

These mornings have gotten a lot better, every now and then I throw up. I'm probably eating something that's not compatible with my digestive system. Theo has been helping me out lately, but tomorrow is the Insurgent Premiere.

Tonight I'm going to be tossing and turning, just like last year. It's frightening, not knowing if our fans will be please with the second movie. It's complicated to try to match the book with the movie every once and a while.

I climb out of bed, it's 9:30 AM. Theo had a photo shoot to do with Miles and Ansel for a magazine. Therefore I'll have a couple hours to myself. I make the bed and I slowly walk to the bathroom. Theo and I made love once again, let's just say I'm hurting a bit.

My back aches for some odd reason and I have the need to throw up. I walk quickly to the toilet and get everything out.

"Shailene what did you eat?" I breathe heavily.

That's when a million thoughts began to fly through my head. When was the last time I had my period? I'm on birth control, did it not work? My heart begins to race, Theo and I have only been together for nine months. We've known each other for two years though.

"Shai, calm down. I'm fine. Let's just take a bath and talk to Theo about it later." I reassure myself.

After I brushed my teeth, I began my lavender bubble bath. I turn on my music that I like and light three candles, vanilla scent. My robe hangs on the hook and I grab my towel, razor, and shaving cream. I'm going to relax as much as I can until tomorrow.

~~~~~~~Two Hours Later~~~~~~

Theo's POV~

The photo shoot was a lot of fun. All three of us were goofing around and jumping in the pictures. Hopefully Shai is fine at home. She's been sick a lot and I hope it's not anything serious.

I decided called my sister, Jessica telling her about it. She asked if we've had sex. That's not the type of thing a brother and sister should discuss but I was honest and told her yes. Jess started to squeal and called my mother over to the phone.

"THEODORE JAMES IS IT TRUE!?" My mother exclaims.

"Mum, please. That's what we're suppose to do. Can someone please tell me that Shailene isn't dying of any disease?" I ask.

"Theodore you're not bright. My dear son, I'm going to be a grandmother!" She yells.

I almost made the car behind me hit the back of jeep when I heard this. Shailene is not pregnant, she's on birth control! But it is a possibility. Honestly, I'd be fine with the idea. I really do see a future with Shai. Though, I'm waiting a couple years to ask her to marry me.

"Are you sure?" I gasp.

"It's possible son. Your father broke my pills like no tomorrow." She laughs.

I almost threw up in my mouth, I ended the phone call right there.

We will just have to see.

Shailene's POV~

My bubble bath went well, I feel one hundred times better. I dressed myself in light blue jeans and a green sweater. Theo should be home any minute, therefore I made us a green salad. Hopefully I won't be sick later on tonight.

"Shai, I'm home." Theo walks in and enters the kitchen.

"Hey handsome." I smiled.

"Did you have any morning sickness this morning?" He pulls me into an embrace.

"Sadly, yes. I think it's what I've been eating." I sigh, setting our plates out and turning the news on.

Theo stares at me intently, studying every move I make. I giggle and turn around.

"What is it Theo?" I smile.

"You seem completely fine. I don't get it." His eyebrows raise.

"I feel fine." I add and pour wine into our glasses.

He sneaks up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. He then begins to nibble on my ear lobe, letting me laugh.

"What do you think Shai, do you think it's what you're eating?" He asks me in a serious tone.

I bite down on my lip and decide to be honest with him, "I'm on birth control. Sometimes it doesn't work. The last time I had my period was last month, I'm late. Yet, that could be just the way it is."

He nods and he comes over to me, grabbing my hand, "Have you taken a pregnancy test?"

My cheeks blush and my stomach twists into a knot, "I didn't think I had too. I don't think I'm pregnant Theo."

He stares at me and nods his head. Suddenly, I don't feel like eating anymore. Nerves about tomorrow rise in my stomach and thinking about a baby inside me makes it worse.

"I'm not hungry anymore." I feel my eyes water a bit.

"Did I upset you? Baby, I didn't mean too." He pulls me towards him, kissing my temple.

"No I'm fine. I'll be right back." I run swiftly into our bedroom and locking myself in the bathroom.

I cannot be pregnant. We haven't even been together for a year! We are suppose to be married and then have a child. That's how my parents raised me, even Theo's parents did that too.

What if Theo doesn't want a baby either? This is all too much. I want to be sick right now, just thinking about it.

I crawl into the floor and breathe heavily. This is all too stressful. Tomorrow night is important and I might mess up. This baby that could be in my stomach, I could mess that up too.

There's a big swarm of butterflies in my stomach, trying to be free. And I just can't control it.
