Chapter 7
Dwayne sits leaning against the bathroom door tapping his fingers to a made up beat on his knees, he was so nervous it was stupid. He puts his head back and rests it on the door and closes his eyes.
"Are you done yet, has anything happened?" Dwayne says through the door, he couldn't take the tension anymore; she hadn't said anything for ages. "Steph!?" Dwayne yells pressing his ear to the door.
"What!?" Stephanie yells back, she knew he was sitting right outside waiting for her to come out; she stares down at the pregnancy test in silence.
"Just checking you didn't flush yourself down the toilet or something" Dwayne replies, she sounded really snappy. Maybe it was best to just sit quietly he thought and wait. Dwayne hears Stephanie scream from inside the bathroom, she unlocks the door sending him flying backwards.
"What's wrong?!" Dwayne jumps to his feet and grabs her arms.
"We're having a baby!" Stephanie screams throwing her arms around his neck nearly knocking him over. Dwayne felt his heart miss a beat; he wraps his arms around her tightly and spins her around.
"I'm gunna be a dad!" Dwayne shouts, Steph looks up at him with tears streaming down her face and a huge smile across her face "Aw honey don't cry, you'll set me off too" Dwayne whispers wiping the tears away from her cheeks with his hand.
"You cant cry, it'll wreck your tough guy image" Stephanie sobs with happiness and he holds her tightly.
"Oh forget the image I'm gunna be a dad!" Dwayne laughs as tears start rolling down his face "This is one of the happiest days on my life, we're gunna have a baby. I'm so excited!" Dwayne says picking her up again and kissing her. "Maybe you should sit down or something, take it easy" Dwayne says trying to help her walk down the stairs.
"Dwayne stop" Stephanie says laughing and pushing him away from her.
"What, I'm just being the concerned father and husband" Dwayne says smiling, wiping the last of the tears from his eyes.
"When I'm all fat and cant do anything from myself then you can start helping me walk but not right now, your just going to annoy me and end up on the couch" Steph laughs as they walk down the stairs. "D, promise me you wont tell anyone till it's all definite" Steph says stopping at the bottom and looking up the stairs at him. He nods his head and smiles before sliding down the banisters and grabbing her pulling her into a hug again.
"I wont tell anyone till you want me to" Dwayne says kissing her neck and squeezing her tightly.
"That includes Chris, Adam, Andrew." Stephanie starts, Dwayne puts a hand over her mouth and stares at her and small smile appearing on his face.
"I promise, no one" Dwayne says letting her go as she walks into the lounge, he pokes his head round the door "Can I start painting the nursery today?" he asks grinning, Stephanie grabs a pillow from the couch and throws it at his head, he catches it and pulls a face at her "Only asking" Dwayne laughs, they'd just finished having the house done by their designer all apart from what he was going to have as his office and the spare room but it was pretty much finished. He couldn't believe it, in just under a years time they'd have a baby. Dwayne or Dwaynette depending if it's a girl or boy he thought to himself laughing, Steph wouldn't agree to that in a hurry!
