I DID IT, I UPDATED.
I'm so sorry it took me so long. It's pretty stressful at school right now. But during some classes I managed to write another chapter.
I hope it doesn't suck ;)
Earlier that day in Charly's room
While Lillian is changing Charly's diaper, Annie just sits in the rocking hair, smiling at her best friend changing her son's diaper.
'Hey Annie, instead of watching, do you wanna do this!?' Lillian asks mockingly.
Annie stood up, walked up to Lillian and said ' No, thank you, I wait until I actually have to do it.'
Lillian nodded, 'So, how are things with Nathan? You guys seem inseparable'
She watched as Annie's smile grew wide on her face
'Yeah, I do love him very much, I think he might be the one'
Annie continued to talk for what felt hours about how great Rhodes is and all the things he does for her, to support her or to make her feel special.
'So you think he's the one. Should I start saving my money for a wedding?' Lillian joked, realising that she had just spoken to Nathan and she indeed had to save money for the wedding.
Annie laughed but added seriously 'I do hope he thinks I am the one for him, because I ain't going anywhere'
'I'm sure he does, one day you'll have a sweet little family', it made Lillian incredibly happy to hear Annie say that because she knows that Nathan's worries and Annie's worries were simply unnecessary.
'Maybe sooner than anyone would've thought' Annie murmored, not intending Lillian to hear it.
Lillian, Charly in her arms, looked confused, 'What do you mean Annie?'
Now that Lillian overheard that, she has to tell her, she's her best friend for god's sake. 'Lill, I think I'm pregnant! But i'm not sure yet" while saying that, she never looked up, but only to her feet and she didn't look happy at all.
But Lillian was incredibly happy 'Oh my god, Annie, that's so exciting. What did Nathan say?'
Now she looked up, into Lillian's eyes. Annie's eyes were teary but it didn't seem like it was because she was incredibly happy. She was worried.
'I didn't tell him. We never talked about having kids. I don't know if he wants kids. If he doesn't want kids what will I do if I'm actually pregnant? I don't want him to leave or anything'
Lillian hugged Annie close and said calmly
'Annie, don't you dare start crying. This man will do anything to make you happy, he's like a tall sweet teddy bear and he seems to love little Charly. Why would you think he doesn't want kids and would actually leave you, you know he wouldn't!?'
'I don't know, maybe I'm panicking, i'm not even sure what I think of this, I don't know if I should hope I am pregnant or that I am not pregnant'
'Annie, whatever it is, everything will be fine you know! But you should tell him.'
'yeah I guess I should' Annie wiped away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks, Lillian was right, there was no reason to cry, he loved her, she loved him. She doesn't need to be afraid of what will come.
With that they joined the men back in the living room.
Dougie and Nathan had already set the table and the food was ready.
While Doug took Charly from Lillian and put him in his crib, Nathan went over to Annie to give her a kiss.
