Oh my god I can't tell you how much all your reviews meant to me... they were really nice so here's this chapter. This chapter is mostly Patricia dealing with it and next chapter will be about Eddie dealing with it.

Patricia was over at Jerome and Mara's house. They had just had their first kid. This gorgeous baby girl almost six months old. Jerome was out grocery shopping and Mara was sitting across from Patricia on her couch.

"Wanna hold her?" Mara asked.

Patricia smiled and nodded. Mara handed her baby Josephine. Patricia rocked her back and forth.

"You really are good with her." Mara said matter-o-factly. "Eddie is too."

"What are you getting at?" Patricia said knowing what her friend was thinking.

"Jerome and I were just wondering if you two were planning on having kids soon." Mara said trying to pass this question off as no big deal.

"Are you kidding? No, not any time soon." She said like she was dodging a bullet.

Mara looked at her doubtfully, "I was just wondering since you two have been visiting the baby so much. Not that I mind at all it's nice to have a break."

"Jerome still having fun being wonder dad?" Patricia laughed. Ever since the baby came Jerome was determined to do absolutely everything he could. He was ridiculously thrilled with having a kid.

"Yes, he's been wonderful. Way more than I ever imagined." Mara said thoughtfully.

Patricia gazed at the little human in her arms. Maybe she did want a baby. But the mere thought of her and Eddie raising kids, I mean just no. They weren't the parental types. Even if she did want to have kids she doubted Eddie did. He never expressed any interest in it, especially with his whole dad not being around thing and all.

Patricia spoke quietly, "Maybe I do want kids... but I don't think Eddie does."

"Have you asked him?" Mara said sympathetically.

Patricia thought back to her serious conversations with Eddie. She remembers a couple of them right after college about future plans and those did involve kids, but those might have as well been a conversation children would have about what they wanted to be when they grew up. She remembers another one soon after they got married where she brought up kids and he laughed and said, "That's not something we need to worry about now is it?" She had replied no and that was that.

"Not for a long time," Patricia decided. She was suddenly overcome with nausea. "I'll be right back." She handed Mara her child and ran to the bathroom. Without pause throw up in the toilet.

She sat down on the floor and took in a couple of deep breaths. She could faintly hear Mara, "Patricia are you alright?"

Strangely enough she felt fine now. She definitely didn't have any other symptoms of a flu or virus.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." She flushed the toilet and made her way back to the living room where Mara was.

"I know that look." Mara said. "I think you and Eddie might need to have that talk sooner than you think."

Patricia made her way over to the couch. She couldn't be...pregnant, could she? She'd been taking her birth control. She tried to think of when she last had her period, she couldn't remember at all.

"I can't be...I'm not...I mean...," She looked at Mara. Mara gave her a sympathetic look.

"Just calm down and wait here I'm going to put the baby down for a nap." Mara got up leaving Patricia alone with her thoughts.
The more Patricia thought about it the more likely it seemed. She had thought her emotions were a little out of whack. She had been lazy about her pills. God, what was she going to do.

Mara came back carrying a small box.

"What's that?" Patricia asked.

"A pregnancy test, I bought a bunch when I thought I was pregnant." Mara tried to hand it to her.

"I'm not sure I want to know," She said looking at the test like it was a snake.

"Patricia, you are you're going to find out sooner or later." Mara said still trying to get her to take it.

She reluctantly grasped it and with an encouraging smile from Mara headed for the bathroom. She followed the directions and after she was done she placed it on the counter and sat on the bathroom floor. Mara came in and rubbed her back.

"Come on. You'll be a great mom. You're great with Joe. I'm sure Eddie will be happy." Mara was trying to be reassuring. It didn't help Patricia at all.

"You don't even know if I am yet," She mumbled back. What would Eddie say if she was. How do you just spring it on someone. Oh yeah by the way you'll now be raising a kid. What if he wasn't happy about it.

Then they heard the front door open and Jerome walking towards the bathroom. The door was open and Jerome soon appeared in the frame of the doorway.

"Hey you two...Trixie are you alright you look horrible. Why are you guys in here?" He asked looked around confusedly.

Before either of them could answer the timer went off saying it was time to check the pregnancy test. Patricia jumped up and grasped the test. Bracing herself and taking a deep breath she looked at the results. There was a bright pink plus sign. She was pregnant.

She dropped the test and sat down.

Jerome still not knowing what was going on asked, "Is something wrong? Do you want me to ring Eddie?"

Patricia ignored him and looked straight to Mara, "I'm pregnant?"

Mara just nodded, but Jerome eyes wide said what they were all thinking, "Oh god."

So yeah this stretched out really far so in the next chapter she's going to tell Eddie about being pregnant. Thank you guys so much for the awesome review keep them coming please!
