A/N: this is the sequel to "LarryBoy the fear dar returns" and it is set a few months after Larry and Petunia get married. This is going to be a multiple chapter story.
Chapter 1: the suspicion and the reveal
8:00 am on a Monday morning, and Larry woke up in his and Petunia's small apartment. However, it wasn't his alarm clock that woke him up; it was the sound of his wife in the bathroom, getting sick. He rushed to get out of bed and went into the bathroom to see Petunia now brushing her teeth. She looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Larry standing there with a worried look on his face. Before he could say a word, she spoke to him.
"Larry, don't worry about me. I'm fine." She said, walking over to him. He rolled his eyes slightly before replying.
"Okay. It's just not the thing I like to wake up to. Now, we need to get ready for work." He said before heading back into their bedroom to get ready to go. Petunia was on her way after him when she started feeling sick again. She tried to hide it so that Larry wouldn't worry about her, but that turned out to be impossible. She made a run to the bathroom right before she got sick again. Larry heard her getting sick again, and this time, saw her getting sick. He got down on his knees once he got to her and just stood there, not sure of what to do. His parents and brothers hadn't gotten sick that he could remember. Soon, Petunia was once again finished with her latest attack of nausea. She saw Larry sitting there and just looked at him. "Are you okay, Petunia?" when she nodded, he continued. "You don't seem like it. This is the second time you have gotten sick today, and you are slightly pale." He said, looking at her.
"At this point, I don't know what's going on with me, Larry. All that I do know is that I have gotten sick twice today, and afterwards, I feel fine, at least, for a minute I do." She replied, now looking at the floor, like she was thinking about something. 'I don't know what's going on…oh, no. I think I just figured it out.' She looked back at Larry, now with a scared and shocked look on her face. He was initially concerned, but when he saw the look in her eyes, he got the same expression on his own face: shocked.
"I will call the doctor while you call Bob and tell him we will be a little bit late." He said after a few moments. They both had a feeling they knew what was going on, but wanted to get it confirmed before they jump to conclusions. Petunia called Bob, the producer of Big Idea, to tell him. Soon after the second ring, she heard him answer.
"Hello? Bob here."
"Hey, Bob. It's Petunia. Larry and I are going to be a little bit late today. I'm going to the doctor and Larry needs to come with me."
"Is something wrong? Are you sick?" he asked, concerned.
"I'm not quite sure how to answer that. I will let you know when we get there later." She replied.
"Alright. I will let everyone know. Bye." He said before he hung up. She replied and they both ended the call. After she got off the phone, she waited for Larry to get finished with setting the appointment. After he hung up, she waited for him to tell her what they said.
"They have an opening for 9:30 this morning. We need to get ready and go." She nodded and started getting ready. Larry simply put on a hat and Petunia put on a blue shirt and a denim skirt. Then, off they went to the doctor's office.
*at the office*
Petunia and Larry patiently waited for the doctor to come into the room. It was too silent for Petunia's liking, so she broke the silence.
"So, what if the suspicion we have is true? What are we going to do?"
"Well, if it is true, we will have some good news to tell everybody when we get to work later." He said, trying to lighten the mood. "As for how I am going to take it, don't worry about that. I will stand by your side whatever the outcome is." He said, noticing Petunia's nervous expression. Before Petunia could say anything else, the doctor came in.
"Well, Mr. and Mrs. Cucumber, I have some news. You are indeed expecting a child. You are about a month along…" everything else they heard was a blur, for they both looked at each other at that point with the happiest expressions on their faces. They both had the same look in their eyes: 'we're going to be parents'. After the basics, they set up the next appointment a month from that day and left the doctor's office.
A/N: So, they have found out they are going to be parents. This chapter is short, I know, but the next one is going to be longer. Stay tuned.
