Meats POV
I walked into the bar of the Heartbreak just as Brit and Gaz arrived back from their trip. Scaramouche hurried over to Gaz pretty much straight away. They exchanged hugs and kisses and then she looked at me as if indicating 'Go on, heres your chance'. I wanted to tell him, I really did! I just didnt know how! I felt like crying again as tears pricked at the corner of my eyes. I must have lost focus because the next thing I felt was Brits arms around my shoulders.
"Whats up, babe? You looked upset?" Brit asked, every bit of his voice sounding concerned. Maybe I was upset. Perhaps I shouldnt have this baby after all.
"Yeah, yeah, Im fine. Its nothing. Just havn't seen you in ages." I replied, my sentences came out a bit faster than I was planning.
"Babe, I was only gone two days" He laughed, pulling me into a tight hug. Well done, Meat! Make up an excuse that doens't even make sense. From across my boyfriends shoulder, Scaramouche looked at me with worry. Brit pulled away from our hug and he went to greet the rest of the Bohemians. As soon as he went, Scaramouche grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the other side of the room.
"How did he take it?" She asked.
A tear fell from the corner of my eye and rolled down my cheek. "He didnt. I didnt tell him."
"Why not? You were ready to tell him, wernt you?" She replied.
"I thought I was but when I started speaking to him, I panicked! I didnt know what to say or do and I dont even know if I've processed the news yet myself." I wiped a few tears and took a deep breath.
"How far along are you?"
"Only about two weeks." I told her. It couldnt have been any longer than that. I hadn't even had morning sickness yet.
Scaramouche looked over to Brit and I followed her gaze. He looked so happy after coming back from this trip. It looked like he and Galileo were telling all the bohemians what they had found over the past two days. "Do you want to tell him today or do you want to wait a few days?"
That was the trouble. I didnt know what I wanted. My hearts telling me one thing and my minds saying another. "I dont know Scara." I thought about the options for a couple of moments, contemplating which would be better. "I think Im going to wait for days. "Im such a mess! I need to get my head sorted really, before I tell him."
"Okay, If you need to talk, Im always here if you need a girly chat." Scaramouche offered.
"Thanks" I smiled. "Promise you wont tell Gaz yet."
"Of course I wont! Brit has a right to know before Gaz."
When our conversation had ended, she sat next to Galileo, who was sitting on the wooden bench, and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, resting her head on his arm. They were such a perfect couple! Its like they were destined to be together.
I straightened myself out and walked over to Brit. I locked my lips with his and he returned it, also giving me an extra embrace.
"Im sorry about earlier. That wasnt the best greet, was it?"
He laughed. "Its okay, Meat. Just as long as I know your alright."
I smiled at him, my arms still interlocked with his. "Its great to have you back."
"And its great to see my baby again." Baby... That word rang in my head. It was the only thing I could think about.
