Irish Vacation

chapter twenty

Roxie bustled around her room, unpacking from her latest trip to support her book. It had been three months since she had gothen back together with Eoin, and everything was going amazingly.

She hummed as she pulled out a pair of pants, sending her toiletrie bag spilling on the floor. She sighed and bent down to clean up the mess. Her hand stopped when she saw all her tampons laying there.

Roxie's heart started to pound and she started to do the math in her head.

Eoin walked into the room and found her sithing on the bed.

"Eoin, I think I'm late."

"Late for what?" He asked,then the realization hit him. "Christ Ro,really."

"I think I'm a week late." She started to panic a little as she thought about it more and more.

"Calm down. I'll go to the store and get you a test. It'll be fine, love." He said with a soothing tone.

He left and Roxie sat anxiously for hI'm to get back. When he finally arrived she grabbed him and the bag, and rushed to the bedroom.

Eoin stood outside the door while she peed, then she opened the door and let him in while they waited for the test to do its thing.

She had set the test on the counter and sat on the tubs edge, holding Eoin's hand.

After what felt like an eternity Eoin grabbed the test. He looked at her and she nodded.

"Not pregnant." He said.

Roxie smiled but felt a little disappointed inside. Eoin smiled back and went back to what ever he had been doing.

Later that night they were laying in bed, both reading. Roxie set her book on her chest and watched Eon read for awhile, until he sighed and dropped his as well.

"What's on your mind."He asked. She shrugged, she wasn't sure if she wanted to tell him.

As if he had read her mind, he said, "I wish it had been positive too. We'd make gorgeous babies."

She kissed his cheek and rolled over to sleep.

The next morning Roxie was making some coffee when Eoin came in and hopped up on the counter.

"Let's get married. " He said, making Roxie laugh. "I'm serious. I want to marry you, today." She stopped laughing and turned to look at him.

"Like go down to a court house and elope?" She asked, hand on her hip.

He nodded and jumped off the counter. "Marry me?" He pleaded softly. Roxie felt a huge smile on her face.

"Let's do it."
