Gabrielle POV-
Blue
It's blue. It really is blue. This the second one. The other has the plus... It's not a mistake. I am sitting here in the bathroom with two positive tests.
How did this happen? I have been so careful. I haven't missed taking a pill on time in years. Why did this happen now? I am only in my third year of med school. How am I going to have a baby?
Why did this have to happen? Everything has been perfect for three years. Jack and I are just as happy as we have been since we reunited four years ago. We have a rhythm now that is working.
He has been as good with his marketing work has I thought he would be. He was just made a junior partner in the firm when they finally agreed he would stay working from our apartment full time if they wanted him to come on board.
Our own tube channels are still going strong. Strong is an understate meant. Our channel hit five million subs this year. People like the simple down to earth content we make along with our weekend adventures when we have the time. My channel still has two million solid itself even though I only update once every other week with a thirty minute video.
My grades are great thanks in large part to Jack. He helps keep me centered and not overwhelmed. He always knows how much time I need to study and when I need to take a break before losing it. He even helps quiz me now when I have a test coming up.
What will a baby do to our lives?
I mean the time of the year is good. Since I only missed one period so I am probably lined up for a June or July to birth. So it will be during the summer break. But how can we make this work?
What is Jack going to think? Will he be mad at me for screwing up? Will he be happy? Will he think we aren't ready? How am I going to tell him?
I almost missed hearing the front door through my crying but now I am shaking. Jack is home. It's too soon. I am not ready to tell him.
"Gabrielle, love? I was able to get the noodles you love. Dinner will be ready in half an hour."
He is so sweet. How can I tell him that I am going to mess up our great lives. How can I ...
Knock, knock, knock
"Gabrielle are you OK in there? You sound like your crying."
I can only cry harder. I am shaking so much I slipped down the wall to the floor.
"Gabrielle? Your worrying me, are you OK?... Gabrielle, I'm coming in."
I can't look up at him when he opens the door. I am just curled in a ball against the wall shaking as I cry. In my hands are the two tests that prove I screwed up. Jack will hate me for messing up our lives again. He might le...
"Sweetheart what's wrong? Come here baby. What happened?"
When he comes down to the floor and I feel his arms going around me I couldn't stop myself from turning and clinging to him. When he sat down I had to move onto his lap as I cried into he neck. He started to sooth and rub my back. I was still shaking a bit, even in his arms.
"Gabrielle, tell me what's wrong, please. Your scaring me."
I can't speak yet. I just bring hold my hand open to him with both tests just sitting there and wait for the explosion.
"Gabrielle are those...? Are you...?"
I can only nod as I hide try to hide my face in his neck. I can only wait as the silence continues. I am waiting to hear him berate me for being so careless, for screwing up our liv...
