Paces around my room anxiously. "I can't believe it. This just isn't something I would have thought possible." I was so nervous I couldn't even think straight. I had to tell him, had to.
I picked up my phone and dialed his number. After four rings he finally answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Vladimir, its Hope. I have some news." I didn't say that is was good or bad because I didn't really know honestly. "You're not going to believe me, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I'm pregnant."
There was a long pause on his end of the phone and I was afraid he would be angry at me when he finally said something. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I've done like five tests and they're all positive. I think you need to come over here. We need to talk about this." I told him.
"Okay. I'll be right over." He hung up and I put my phone down to wait.
When he showed up he came right on inside and ran to me.
"Are you okay? I mean, it's not hurting you is it?" He asked.
"No. I don't feel anything just yet, but I can see that my stomach is a little bigger than normal."
We both looked down to my stomach and I pulled my shirt up just enough that you could see where it was bulging out a small bit.
I looked up at his face and said, "You're not mad at me are you?"
He looked at me with a face of total shock. "Of course not. Why would I be? You didn't know you would become pregnant. It's really my fault for not remembering to use protection." He said.
I thought back to that night. When we had finally done it. It had felt so good at the time and neither of us had thought about what might happen afterwards.
"Do you regret doing that Vladimir?" I asked shyly. This was the question I was so afraid of asking him.
"No my love. I couldn't be happier actually." He said with a grin.
"Well I know it's kind of early to think about this, but, let's try to pick out names." I said smiling up at him.
"Alright. Well, what are some that you have in mind?" He said while he pulled me to sit on his lap on the couch.
"Hmm….. Well I can't think of any girl names at all so I'll just tell you the guy names I've come up with."
He nodded so I continued on.
"Well there's only two but I love both of them. They are Nicholi and Ryan. Now let's hear your idea of names." I said grinning up at him.
"I've only got girl names to offer which is funny considering you only have boy names. Mine are Ever and Lucy." He said.
They all sounded like beautiful names to me, but I was sure that when the time came I wouldn't be able to even think about names for mine and Vladimir's child. I would only be able to think about pain since I already knew that I was going to have to be changed after I had the baby.
