A/N: So this is going to be longer! This is part 1. Hope you enjoy!
5 minutes felt like an hour for Lea at this moment. All her focus was at the pregnancy test in her hands. She couldn't stop staring at it. She had felt sick this morning and because she was already too late on her period, she had bought a pregnancy test. She had made sure to buy a lot of other stuff too to cover the pregnancy test so no one could notice anything. Cory was recording with his band so he wouldn't be back for an hour or so. If she was indeed pregnant, how was she going to tell him? And more important, how would he react when he heard the news? All these thoughts went through Lea's mind when a sign appeared on the test. She gasped as she read the sign. It was a plus sign, she was indeed pregnant.
Cory opened the front door of their house. They had moved in together a few weeks ago and everything went perfect. He couldn't be happier. That was when he realized he wanted to take another step. He wanted to marry her. After 15 months already. But, why not? He loved her so much and knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He also knew Lea thought the same about it. So he had a whole plan.
First he would go to New York to ask permission of her parents. He knew that was kind of an old tradition, but he also knew Lea would really appreciate it. He didn't know yet how exactly he would go to New York without Lea knowing what he was doing there. Anyway, if he had done that he would come back to LA and then go together with Lea to New York. There he would ask her. On Bow Bridge in Central Park.
''Lea? You home, babe?''
No response.
He went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Noticing some pasta leftovers in the fridge he smiled. He grabbed the bowl with pasta and placed it in the microwave. Whenever they cooked, it was always way too much. They would keep it but eventually throw it in the bin anyway. The pasta was ready and Cory grabbed a fork out off the drawer and made his way over to the couch. He plumped down on the couch and turned on the TV. Luckily for him, there was hockey. He smiled and shove a mouthful of pasta in his mouth.
It was already 6 pm and Lea still wasn't home. Cory had finished his pasta and had done the dishes. He knew whenever Lea was out with friends it could eventually be way longer than she had expected it to be. But as far as he knew, she wasn't going out with friends that day. He grabbed his phone and quickly sent a message to Lea.
'Hey beautiful! Where r u?:( I'm starting to get worried.'
Within a few seconds he got a response from her.
'Hey babe. Sorry! Went for a coffee with Chris and forgot to text you. I'm on my way home:)'
He felt relieved after reading the text. He was actually a bit worried for not hearing anything from her all the day. But as he already thought, she was out with a friend.
After 10 minutes already Cory could hear Lea's car pull up at the driveway. He quickly made his way over to the door to welcome his girlfriend.
''There's my girl.'' He grinned, seeing Lea exciting the car.
She immediately blushed at his words. ''Hey there.'' She said shyly. She walked over to Cory and gave him a kiss. ''How was your day?''
Cory smiled. ''Let's go inside first and eat something. I just ordered some pizza.''
''Really? Oh my god, you probably read my mind because I'm starving!'' Lea laughed.
They walked in the house and sat themselves down on the couch with pizza on their lap.
''My day was great by the way. Recorded a new song which I personally really like.'' Cory said after he took his first bite. ''How about your day? Had fun with Chris?''
''Yeah! Always! I'm tired now though.''
''How about we put on a movie after we finished our pizza. We could cuddle on the couch and then go to bed.''
''That's a plan.'' Lea smiled, liking Cory's plan. ''Oh by the way! Jon is coming over next week! Isn't that awesome!''
''It sure is, honey! Is he staying at our place?'' Jon was Lea's best friend and Cory liked him a lot as well. Not just the fact that he was gay and absolutely not attracted to Lea was something Cory liked. Also the fact that he was such an important person for Lea. He was, after himself, the person who knew Lea the best.
''Yeah he's staying here. If that's okay for you, of course?''
''Of course! He's always welcome here!'' And then an amazing idea came into Cory's mind. ''Did I mention I have to go to New York next week?''
''What? No, you haven't. What are you going to do there?''
''Uhm.. well there uhm…there is a guy.'' Cory started, not knowing what to say. ''And he wants…he wants to see me.''
''Is that a good thing? Why does he wants to see you?''
''Because he's from…'' Cory looked around, trying to find anything in the room what could give him inspiration. ''The Canucks!'' Cory said relieved.
''The Canucks? Why does a Canucks guy want to see you in New York? Why not in Vancouver? That makes more sense because the Canucks are from Vancouver, right?''
''Because he is in New York to visit his grandmother.''
Lea frowned.
''Yeah! And he wants to see me and talk with me about the next game. They want me to…to speak at the next game.'' Cory lied.
''That is amazing, Cory!'' Lea immediately hugged Cory tightly. ''When did you hear this?''
''When I was on my way home.'' He hated lying. Especially lie to Lea. But he had to lie. He didn't know yet how he would tell her he didn't get the job. But he would figure that out later. What was important know was that he asked her parents' permission. And that might be even harder than asking Lea herself. Oh god, what if they hated him? And just pretended that they like him every time they saw him? No. Of course not. They loved him. But would they be okay with him marrying their daughter?
