Eric Dier

8. Surprising him with a pregnancy

You were ever so nervous. From the moment you found out, you hadn't been able to calm your nerves. Often laying awake at night thinking about how there was a tiny human inside you.

It was Eric's birthday today, and ever since you found out about the pregnancy three weeks ago with your sister, you two decided to wait until his birthday to surprise him.

It was all planned out and organised throughout the last week. You couldn't help but over think about his reaction. Would he be happy or sad? Angry? Calm? Upset? Frustrated?

The questions kept coming in, and your pregnancy hormones wasn't helping either.

But today was the day, and you couldn't help but try and distract yourself from the fact that soon he would know, and that you would get the reaction.

You had spent the day surprisingly not really thinking about it, just spending time with Eric and doing bits with him, like opening presents or cooking food for him.

You had just finished watching one of his new films, and that's when it dawned on you that the time had come.

"Okay, I know you don't really like surprises, but I do have one for you," You told him as calmly as possible.

"Babe, you didn't have to get me anything extra. I don't want you spending all your hard earned money on me," He told you, stroking your hair.

Except this one didn't cost any money...at least not until they grew up and wanted anything and everything.

"But I have to."

You went in your room and grabbed the box on top of the wardrobe. You huffed deeply before walking back out, and sitting next to him.

You watched as his eyes travelled from you to the box and back again multiple times.

"I have no clue on what your reaction is gonna be on this one," You mumbled, handing him the box.

He took it, smiling at you, "I'm sure I'll love it."

You held your breath as he opened the box, trying to read him as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at the baby spurs kit, but then his eyes widening at the test at the bottom of the box.

"Oh..." He muttered, holding the test gently, "Is this...for real?"

You nodded.

"OMG WE'RE GONNA BE PARENTS! I'M GONNA BE A DAD!" He exclaimed, kissing you gently and hugging you.

"You're happy?" You asked, a smile on your face.

"Duh, why wouldn't I be?" He asked, holding your non visible bump lightly.

"I wasn't sure if you were ready..."

"Of course I am! I've always wanted a family with you," He told you, kissing you again.

He lowered himself down to your belly and pressed his lips against it, "I love you! I can't wait to meet you."

You couldn't help but smile. Why were you so nervous about it?
