Chapter 2
A few weeks had passed and Ava had figured out she wasn't leaving. When the first week passed Conner had told her his feelings, Ava still hid her feelings about him. She stood at the big window as Conner cooked dinner. "Beautiful night" she said going to help, or try since he usually kicked her out "I'll take the drinks outside" she grabbed his beer before he could get it.
Conner laughed watching her go "You didn't need to take time off to move." He said "I said I would help you on out days off" She sat on the counter "I figured you would love me gone for a few weeks. Getting to be the big man again" he laughed kissing her "You push me to be better" holding him in his spot "it's only one more week. I think you will live." She let him do so he could get back to the food.
They stayed outside after dinner. Ava lay in his arms as he held her "This is becoming out thing us out here after dinner, you holding me" he nodded "I didn't tell you about the beating for this to happen" he kissed her head "I asked you Ava because I wanted it. I have for awhile but I never could find the right time to ask." She nodded "I do love you and even though you won't say it, I know you have feelings for me" she looked up at him smiling and that's all he needed as his answer.
The next day Ava was going to meet Conner for lunch; she decided to talk to Maggie about something. Walking into the ER she found her quickly "Can we talk for a minute?" Maggie nodded following Ava down the hall "I need this to say between us" Maggie nodded "yes, sure of course" looking around Ava took a breath "I need to see if I'm pregnant. It's been awhile I don't trust pregnancies test."
Finding a room Ava laid down for Maggie to do the ultrasound. Ava already knew the answer; however she wanted to see "Ava?" Maggie whispered pulling her back to focus "you are pregnant" she pointed to the screen "I suggest, as you know, to see you doctor and get fully checked." She printed off the pictures as Ava sat up "I won't say a word to anyone. This will stay between us" Ava nodded talking the pictures "thank you Maggie. I'm meeting Conner got lunch, I'll see you in a few days" she put the pictures away and walked back down the hall having small talking with Maggie.
Ava stood outside waiting for Conner, thinking about what was about to happen. The cool air blew making her shiver a little. Ava jumped when a coat draped her shoulders. Turning she smiled as she meet Conner's eyes.
