Chapter 10
Baby Got Back Part 2
Previously on Love is All You Need:
Elizabeth paced frantically in the bathroom, waiting for the results. When the timer buzzed, she picked up the pregnancy test and looked at the result.
"Oh my god"
"Oh my god" Elizabeth took a deep breath of relief. She walked into her living room and dropped to the couch and closed her eyes, finally having a sense of relaxation. "Thank goodness" She didn't bother going back to bed before finally falling asleep. Now that she knew she wasn't pregnant, she could rest peacefully.
But the peaceful sleep ended by the ring of the phone. "Hello?" She greeted wearily.
"Did I wake you?" Will's voice flowed through the phone.
"Don't worry about it; I've been asleep for hours. Are you on your way?" She asked, noticing that it was nearly 6:15.
"I'm sorry to say, but actually no. We were at a bar and Jack was hitting on this woman, and then her husband came up and bunched Jack in the nose. So now we're at the hospital cause his nose is broken. So I can't come over tonight. But I'll be over tomorrow after Colin and Jack leave for home. Probably around 12:00"
"Okay, see you tomorrow"
When they hung up, Elizabeth couldn't fall back asleep. She was feeling better after taking a couple aspirins. She ended up staying awake all night. She watched TV and read to try to amuse herself. When she was bored of everything she could think of doing, she just sat and began thinking about a variety of things. Her mind drifted off to her pregnancy scare earlier.
What if I was pregnant? What would Will say? What would Will do? Would I be a good mum? Thank god I'm not actually pregnant. She thought. But at the last thought, she couldn't hold back the tears that began to fill her eyes. Before she knew it, they began to fall and she pulled her knees close to her as she curled up like a ball. Elizabeth buried her eyes in her knees and rocked back and fourth as the tears came and came. I'm a horrible person.
--
The next morning Elizabeth woke up. The sun was shining brightly through the window. She was in her bed, and she didn't know how she got there. Nor did she know when she had fallen asleep, but it must've been early in the morning. She looked at the clock and it read 3:24.
She slowly got up and looked in the mirror. Her hair was tattered and her eyes were puffy and red. She could see trails of tears on her face. She was also still wearing the close from the previous day. She walked out of her bedroom and found Will sitting on the couch reading.
"Hey, sleepy head" He said when he saw her. He put his book down and walked over to her. "I got here about three hours ago and you were zonked out on the couch"
"Yeah, I didn't get to bed until; I don't know probably five in the morning. I was on the couch and I guess I just eventually drifted off to sleep"
Will then noticed her face. "Love, what's wrong. Have you been crying?" He took her hand and led her to the couch.
"Um…yeah. But don't worry about it"
"Elizabeth…" He began, his voice filled with concern.
"No, really. It's nothing, I promise"
Knowing Elizabeth didn't want to talk about it, he dropped the subject. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah much. I probably just had a touch of food poisoning. I'm 100 better now, though"
"Good. So are you hungry?" Elizabeth nodded. "Why don't I go get something from the deli? We can have a late lunch"
"Thanks, sounds good. I'll just have my usual"
"Okay, then I'll be back in a little bit" He said, standing up and leaning in to give Elizabeth a soft kiss on the lips, but she turned her head away. He furrowed his brow in confusion. Instead of pressing the matter, he just left to get their food.
He got back and they sat and ate together. Elizabeth was acting distant and not making eye contact. Will tried several times to find out what was wrong, but she dismissed the attempts.
"Maybe I should go home" Will said after eating.
"Sure, why not"
Will leaned in for another kiss, hoping this time she wouldn't turn it down, but she did.

While at home, Will was trying to figure out what was wrong with Elizabeth. He began thinking if she was mad at him. Perhaps because he was spending all his time with Jack and Colin during the weekend. But she was so understanding before; he hadn't seen them in so long. Plus she wasn't the kind of girl that demanded Will spend every moment with her. Maybe because he never came by yesterday.
Could that be something she would be mad about? He asked himself. Neither of those theories seemed correct. But what else could it be? Eventually he let it go; for the moment anyway. He would just have to find out later.
--
The next day was Monday which meant one thing; work. Will rolled out of bed and got ready. He hadn't talked to Elizabeth for the rest of the day yesterday. Several times he had contemplated calling her, but decided against it.
The annual Monday meeting ended, and still Will and Elizabeth hadn't talked. In fact, they sat at opposite sides of the room. And if Will had any doubts about something being wrong with Elizabeth; they were all gone now. She had showed up in the middle of the meeting and got a long, strict lecture from Mary. But what was odd, was that she was never late; especially on a Monday.
Will walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and found Elizabeth there too.
"Hi, love"
Elizabeth turned around and faked a small smile. "Hi"
"I got tickets to that play you wanted to see tomorrow night" Will offered.
"Cool. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow night"
"Were you going to come over tonight?" Will inquired, hoping she would say yes.
"Probably not"
"Well, could I come over to your place?"
"Why?"
"I just wanna be with you" He stated simply.
"Look Will I'm busy tonight. I have a lot of work to do and I'm already tired, I got a bad sleep last night so I'll probably be in bed early" She was trying very hard to not make eye contact with him, and he could tell.
"Fine, then I'll see you tomorrow. I love you" Will said, reminding her how he feels about her, but she just nodded and walked away; leaving Will disappointed at another failed attempt to fix whatever was going on between them.
The next day was just the same. Elizabeth avoided him, and ignored his attempts to talk to her. The only words she said to him all day were when she cancelled their date for that night. Will couldn't handle it anymore, he wanted to be with his girlfriend, but by the looks of it, she wouldn't let that happen.
Late that night Will was pacing around his living room. It was about 1:30 in the morning, but he wasn't the least bit tired. He could not think of a single thing that could be wrong with Elizabeth. What is happening? Why doesn't she want to be with me? He thought. Is there someone else? Why else would she stay away from me? He took a deep breath, hoping and praying that it was anything but that. "Well, I'm gonna find out" He said to himself. He quickly grabbed his keys and left the apartment.
He drove through the late night. The streets were almost empty and bright lights covered the side walks. Finally he pulled up at Elizabeth's apartment complex. He quickly walked thought the lobby and got into the elevator. He walked across the hallway and banged hard on the door, hoping Elizabeth would wake up. After knocking a second time, he heard footsteps coming close and closer to the door.
"Who is it?" She yelled through the door.
"Will" He answered. Elizabeth opened it up a crack, and then when she saw that it really was him, she opened it up all the way and Will walked in. "Why do have a pillow?" He asked when he saw Elizabeth.
"I thought you might be a deadly rapist"
"And you were going to challenge him to a pillow fight?"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Elizabeth moaned, ignoring his comment.
"I need to talk to you"
"Will, what could you possibly need to talk to me about at 1:45 in the morning?"
Will just shook his head and sighed as he walked closer to her and grasped her arms lightly. "What's wrong? The past couple days you haven't wanted to be near me! You haven't wanted to touch me or be with me. You've been so distant and…what's happening?"
"Will" She sighed, trying to get out of his strong hold, but failing.
"Elizabeth," His voice was soft and delicate and tears now stung his eyes, "is there someone else. Cause if there is, please; tell me if there is anything I could do for you to love me again. But, I will not be strung along, I don't deserve that, and you know I don't"
"Will…"
"I've done nothing but love you and cherish you, but…"
"Will!" She exclaimed. "There's no one else"
"There isn't?" Elizabeth could clearly see the relief in his face. "Then why have you been acting like this?"
Elizabeth dropped her head and closed her eyes and began to cry. "A couple days ago, when I was sick…I began thinking I was pregnant"
"Pregnant? Why?" Will asked in shock.
"Remember last month, I was out of my birth control pills and I forgot to go get more. And then about a week later I forgot that I didn't take it and we had sex, but we were also out of condoms, but we didn't worry too much about it cause we thought I had taken my pills. So we were without condoms and birth control"
"Oh my god. Are you pregnant?"
"No I'm not. But I've just kinda been a little scared about becoming pregnant and then that cause me to not wanna have sex with you. But then I was around you and the more I was around you, the more I wanted you. So then I tried to stay away from you and not talk to you because I thought that would make it easier. And now here we are"
"Oh, Elizabeth, darling" He lifted her chin up so she looked him in the eye and he kissed her forehead. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I was ashamed! I was so relieved that I wasn't pregnant. Then I began thinking what if I was? I would have a child that I didn't want! That would be horrible. No child in this world should have parents that don't want it, but I could've been one of those, horrible, crappy parents. And I couldn't live with that. I just…I felt guilty and horrible. So horrible" By now, Elizabeth was crying uncontrollably. Will held her close and ran his fingers through her hair to try and calm her. "I mean, I do want kids. You know I do. But, not now, not here. Someday when, as cliché as this sound, when I'm settled down. When I'm happily married and living in a small, quite town outside of the city and complaining about the taxes" At the last comment, Will chuckled. Elizabeth buried her head back into his chest and continued to let the tears fall.
"You'll have that"
After a moment of silence she looked back up at him. "Will, I want it with you. I'm not saying now, or even in the near future. But, don't you think that someday we'll get married and have a family?"
Will smiled and pulled her closer to him as he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. "Yeah, I…I do" At his words, Elizabeth looked up at him and kissed him hard. She wrapped her arms around his neck and when she began to roam her tongue around his lips, he parted them, happily allowing her entrance.
"Are you feeling better now, love?" Will asked once he seceded from her for breath. She nodded in response.
"I'm so sorry, Will. I've been so horrible and you've always been so good to me"
"It's okay"
"No it's not. It's not okay for me to treat you like that. Please forgive me"
"Elizabeth, I forgive you" Will laughed slightly. "There, happy now?"
"Yeah"
"I love you so much" He continued to laugh, as she pushed him into the bedroom.
"I love you too"
When they got into the bedroom, Elizabeth pushed Will down on the bed and began to smother his face in kisses. She moved her hands under his shirt and raised it up. Will stretched his arms up over his head and she took it off. She moved her kisses from his face to his chest. In one quick move, Will flipped her over so he was lying on top. He kissed her cheek, then down to her shoulder before kissing her collarbone.
Will moved his hands down to her thighs and played with the band of her small, striped boyshorts that peeked out under her Disney Princess night shirt. Elizabeth lifted her hips off the bed and he slipped them off. His hands slid down to his belt and she unbuckled it before tossing it across the room. She then undid the buttons and zipper on his jeans and slid them down his legs, along with his boxers. He kicked them off, and then let his body rest against hers.

A lot of you have been saying that they make love so much. But you have to realize, most of the chapters take place a couple months or so apart from each other. So it's not like they have sex every day, otherwise there would probably be a baby around a long time ago ;)
I've also been getting a couple reviews saying that I have been using a couple ideas from other shows and stuff like that. Yeah I have, but not a lot. Only sometimes when I think that it's funny and would fit well in the story.
Hope you like it. PLEASE REVIEW!
