I did not disappear you guys!
10 minutes.
She's been sitting there for ten minutes and she has no intentions of moving. No intentions of breathing. No intentions of anything. Her mind is filled with so many thoughts, it's numbing her ability to move, not that she has any plans too, so that's why he finds her.
Finds her on their bathroom floor, clutching her stomach and staring at the little white stick on the counter. His eyes gleam and he walks over to where she's sitting. He wants to cry. For her and with her, but he can't. He needs to be her rock. Needs her to understand that it'll be okay.
He moves to her and slides down the wall to where she is. She instantly moves into him and he has no objections. He'd shoot a deer right now if that's what she needed. He sits quietly and let's her alone with her thoughts. Rick knows his wife well enough by now to know that she always has to clear her mind before speaking after things like this.
In all actuality, he's glad to give her the time. He needs time to process too. So, they sit there. Somewhere in the silence of the loft, one of their phones are ringing. The house phone rings shortly after, but they leave the too. The voice message rings throughout the loft and fills with the sound of Lanie's voice.
Hey, I just called to say, yeah it's true. Got the results right here. I rushed them so I could let you know as soon as possible. There's a long silence hanging while their friend tries to figure out what to say. Kate-
The line goes dead. They suspect the beep sounded, but they won't go check or even call her. This is something they need to discuss.
"So?" Surprisingly, Kate breaks the silence "how are we feeling?" She croaks never taking her eyes off of the stick.
"Honestly?" She nods "I'm everywhere. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Angry or accepting."
"Yeah, same here."
"Look, dear, I know this isn't completely idea, but we have to come to a decision right now. For us and any future lives involved."
She nodded and they drifted back into their silence. It had now been an hour since she moved and her butt was starting to numb.
"Ecstatic." She said breaking the silence again.
"What?"
"We're ecstatic." She said beaming at her and he was finally able to let his happiness show. He stood and lifted her up, swinging her around and kissing her in the process. She giggled uncontrollably and when their kisses got more passionate, they entered the bedroom, ;eaving behind that little white stick that changed their lives.
"+" She was pregnant.
Yay! Fluff all around!
Sorry it took so long. But now it's Christmas break for everyone and I have PLENTY of time!
Hope you enjoyed!
Love Always, XOXOX
