It's not much but I'm really busy so I don't have time to make this longer and update all my other stories. So, this what I got.
I threw on a pair of Fitz' navy blue sweatpants, I tied the string as tight as I could and put on one of my blue sweaters. Afterwards, I stood in the mirror to look at my appearance, I should probably roll up the ends of the pants unless I want to trip. I sat back on the bed, Fitz came in with a small smile.
"Hi." He said softly
"Hi." I lift my leg on the bed and start rolling up the pants. Fitz sat on the floor in front of me and rolled up the other leg.
"Are you still upset about your clothes?" He asked standing up, I just shrugged.
"Let's talk about what's really bothering you." I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes.
"I just need new clothes." Fitz laid on the bed next to me facing the ceiling like me.
"Liv? We are supposed to be trying to fix us for not only each other but for our baby." He turned on his side laying a hand on my stomach.
"I don't want to lose you, again." I whispered.
"You couldn't lose me even if you tried." He rubbed my stomach.
"I'm going to be fat with swollen feet and I'll be peeing all the time and crying and the mood swings. I'll be huge."
"I'll enjoy every bit of it."
"Why?" I asked turning to him.
"Because every mood swing, swollen feet, every tear you cry and every pound you gain will be worth it because in the end I get a beautiful baby with a beautiful woman. I get to call our child, the child I made with the love of my life. Mine. A mixture of you and me. Someone who will always connect us no matter what. It'll be great. I promise." I got ready to respond.
"So you're pregnant?" I heard Karen ask. I froze, I'm not ready to tell people but I would've had to do it sooner or later.
"Yes, she is honey." Fitz sat up and pulled me up with him. I opened my eyes. I looked at Karen and Jerry standing in the entrance of our room door.
"That's cool. So are we getting a brother or sister?" Jerry asked coming farther in but Karen stayed where she was. I stared at her stare at my stomach.
"We don't know yet."
"How do you guys feel about this?" Fitz asked standing up and walking up to his kids.
"This is going to be great. I know it's going to be a boy. Liv you're going to be so busy taking care of him that me and dad will have to take him so you can get some alone time and rest and stuff. You'll be trying to take care of Jeffrey and spend time with me, dad, and Karen but you'll figure it out, right?"
"What about you Kare?" Fitz asked. She looked me in the eye and ran off crying. Fitz and Jerry followed immediately. I stood up and walked to Karen's room.
"C'mon, Karen this is good." Jerry said. I walked in the room to see Fitz rubbing Karen's back and Jerry laying down next to her.
"I don't want to talk to you or daddy." Karen said her voice muffled by the pillows.
"Will you talk to me, please?" I asked sitting at the edge of the bed.
"Yes." She said sitting up with her hands covering her tear stained face.
"What's wrong? Do you not want a brother or sister?" I asked.
"I do." She cried out and laid her head in my lap. I ran my fingers through her hair.
"Then what's wrong?" I asked.
"I hurt you, I made you cry."
"That wasn't your fault, you hear me? You did what you thought would keep me alive and it did. Didn't it?"
"But...now you and daddy are going to have another kid that isn't me or Jerry that has never treated you bad. So then you're going to love them more than us and then you'll send us back to Mellie."
"That's not true, you never treated me bad, you tried to protect me and for that I appreciate. I will love you and Jerry and the baby the same and I would NEVER send you to Mellie. I love you and Jerry, Karen no matter what."
"I'm so stupid." Karen whispered.
"Why do you say that?" I asked
"I'm crying like a 5 year old. Like a big baby."
"You're my big baby." Fitz said.
"I'm have to start dinner and you aren't stupid."
