Preface
"I have to tell you something."
Her eyes; the right side a strange grey and the left, a brilliant shade of turquoise, twinkled with a knowledge that was unavoidable, and would surely make my dead insides become jell-o. It did make my stomach clench and then unclench, because I knew what was coming. What she was going to say. I had prepared myself for this, or at least I thought I had.
My hands went to her neck, effectively causing her to shiver. The skin that I touched there, relaxed instantly, even though she shivered, it made her involuntarily close her eyes.
I wasn't having that.
"Open your eyes." I whispered in her ear, earning goose bumps on her neck. Her eyes were my life. I had looked at them for so long and now, no longer doubting, I knew I'd be seeing them more.
She immediately opened them, her eyes searching for mine. As soon as they focused on what they were looking for, they locked in an inescapable gaze. Those same uneven color of eyes stared at me, beginning to water, with sadness or happiness, I had yet to figure out.
"Shh, don't cry." I whispered leaning in to kiss the tears away. Again she closed her eyes, but opened them just as quickly as she had closed them.
"Edward." She simply said, knowing I already knew, but still, she was going to get it out, whether I didn't want her to say it or not.
"I guess I already know the answer." I warned in a way to try to get her from saying it out loud. The way she held herself just said my warning wasn't good enough.
She said it, a smile formed on the corner of her lips, not acknowledging my "warning" I had given her.
"Edward, I'm pregnant."
